BTL Genii review

With full permission from Richard Kaufman (& kudos to Joe Turner for the kind words) I offer the "BUILT TO LAST - By Douglas Conn" DVD review

You'll also find "corner short" mention of "Pinky Swear" (also below)

These are both available @ connmagic.com

*currently offered with some sweet freebies/incentives :)

I'm making this post on the last day of Feb 2013
If you're a subscriber to Genii, you'll find yours truly doing one of the routines from the DVD set on the Genii speaks video column (this in the March 2013 issue)

I'll quit blabbering. Here's Joe
(Thanks again Richard!)

Geekin out

Drag

Love seeing these Red Backed dragons available at Walgreens (alas: the blues have blue colored hearts & diamonds and IMHO are simply : bleh)

These cards have beautiful multicolored backs, but more importantly, they handle perfectly: fans, faros, etc. These are going to my working rep immediately.

I think I'll use these as my reg deck ,
then I'll have (dif deck backs) invisible, one ment photo (& a blank blank deck for follow up)

My encore packs will be:
Unshuffled
Chameleon
&
Dim Returns (with Cornelius shrink box)

That & my extra large alumawallet & I should be set

LEG

Dunno if I've mentioned Steve Bryant's "Little Egypt Gazette" before. If not, whoops, I should have

It's a wonderful "webizine" that's been running for years (like since the Internet started ;) ALL of the past issues ate worth reading. There's TONS of great content to enjoy.

This month featured a review of the recent MagiFest. It's a great look at the event and was doubly nice to see a mention of Yours Truly (Im guessing Steve caught Part of my impromptu theatre set.)

Regardless of my (never ending) self promo... If your bookmarks don't include this Gem, you're missing out

THANKS Steve. Your work is greatly appreciated.
Oh/yo

Unrelated, but important (to me)
Sidenote: I just got out of the hospital where I spent Mardi Gras with my Daughter who suffered multiple seizures on Mon. She's doing much better & has been prescribed preventative medications to (hopefully) keep this evil illness at bay.

1922

Houdini's
"The Man From Beyond"
Is currently on Netflix

It's a blast from the past
That I found interesting...
for bout 5 minutes

Maybe you'll care more

SuperKrewe

It's nice that the superbowl has com...e and nicer that it's going  (great press: shitty crowds) Yo: congrats Ravens: you really played well & I for one ueber0appreciate that sweet safety move that shifted us into an unbelievable $1000 superbowl pool win :)

Now, onto more important matters! It's Mardi Gras time! Whoooo More medicore hats (and sad faces of buskers excpecting this time to be better than average... lololol.) Fools! Speaking of which: I'll happily be marching with the Krewe of Fools parade this Lundi Gras

A yes, the Krewe of Fools (a suitable name if there ever was one) I dunno how this band of hooligans got their shit together enough to form anything, but it has happened (twice before this) and is happening again.

This is a group of Buskers/Husckers (and a few folks that support the arts: some more than others. My wife for example: Love you Angie!)

If you're on Facebook, I suggest a peek at:

If you're a street artist or just a fan, I'm sure you're more than welcome to join us
If ya want/need more info: message me from my FB page: facebook.com/connmagic or email me
and I'll do what I can

HAPPY MARDI GRAS folks. Let's do this.

Dim-Def

I just found a pile of the Diminishing Returns / Defective Deck release (a Mike Powers / Mall of Magic Product) It's a two in one package (two tricks in one set)  Both tricks are excellent...
Defective Deck is good (and includes a super easy version of my "Pip Trip" plot)
 Diminishing Returns is GREAT!

Wanna see the goods? Well, Mike Powers has posted some great demos at mallofmagic.com
here's the Linkees:  Diminishing Returns  /  Defective Deck

Depending on reaction, to this post, I'll put the dealio on my shopping cart at www.connmagic.com  (I've only got 1/2 dozen to sell, so dunno if that'd be worth it)

Here's the scoop: $18 gets this set shipped to your door (Postage paid: 1st class USPS) if you want it quicker / priority, email me. either way: if you want it... email me. Or, just email me and say hi ;)
connjure@gmail.com  If you want Two... get a twofer $30 (dealio!)

aight, nuff sales talk... Either get busy and send me some money or go back to practicing your top change.

Poker

There was a time when poker was my passion (this photo shows bout 1/2 of the books in my library)

And there was a year (post Katrina)
When poker was my "living" (back when gigs were slim pickens & online poker was a thing; I could be found multi tabling: Pokerstars, FullTilt, Party Poker & 1/2 dozen other sites.)

Still love to play, just for "fun" ...
Lemme tell ya: professional gambling = tough way to make an easy living.
It's not unlike an office job
