Hi!

I have read about an endless chain routine from David Roth. Is this routine availiable (in print) somewhere?

And has someone heard about the Bob Knigge booklet "Air Chain"?!

comes complete with chain and routine.

The best resource is the School for Scoundrels book. There's also a Supreme book (the Teach in series) that you can get from Lybrary.com, which is good.

@Ian:
Thanks for your advice. I already have both ebooks (SFS and Lybrary.com) and have read the (for me) interesting parts. I am just looking for some other sources/routines and I came across the once I've mentioned.

@bmat:
Thanks for the link. But I already have ordered a chain from Chris Manos (http://safetymagicshows.com/books.htm). Will see how it fits...

@all:
Does someone have the chain from Marc DeSouza "Chain Gang" for sale? Or both (DVD + Chain)?! Please PM me... This chain is longer than the "normal" chains and I want to have this one.

Just looked at the layout in the pic on the link - I'd love to see how that layout works!

The 'off the table' handling doesn't feature in the SfS book but there are handlings in print in Apocalypse (vol 19 somewhere I think) and in one of Robert Neale's books - 'Tricks of the Imagination' if memory serves. The Mark De Souza chain works nicely in the hands if you get hold of one - I suspect it's a chain that you could buy a length of in a fabric shop, it has that light weight feel to it.

BTW, the chain is probably one of the few gambling scams Ian hasn't produced a definitive lesson on, I think.

I did tape a lesson for the Virtual Sessions, but never edited it!

There are a few 'in the air' handlings - it's my preferred method now since I can do it walkaround. The handling I use is from the Ganson teach in book - entitled 'on the barrelhead' or something similar.

The Apocolypse handlings are all in volume six- the red book if you have them. There is one from Robert Brookes and one from Bobby Bernard.

Bob Neale's version is in Tricks of the Imagination, as Shaun said.

The chain I use is quite thin - and pulled straight (two strands) is no more than 30cm.

Take care, Ian
