:: Thoughts

Well, it's not really thoughts, more like a few things I didn't know what else to do with..

Issue 22 of Magic Roadshow has been mailed and published to my site. If you don't subscribe, you can still read it at: http://streetmagic.info/eMagic22.html . Bookmarking this site will not access each issue, only issue twenty-two.

If you would like to subscribe painlessly, visit http://streetmagic.info/subscribe.html and sign up. I have about nine or ten different resources in this issue. A little something for every type of magician.

I don't know what's up with Steve Pellegrino over at MagicRant. He's redesigned the site.. and removed the 'post comments' links from his post. Does it still qualify as a blog, or is it simply an opinion page, as in 'his' opinion. I wonder how long the Magic Cafe would stay up if Steve Brooks stopped readers from posting and only posted his own opinions on the state of magic..? As the democrats are fond of saying - "that's a very slippery slope."

I just watched the second Alain Nu magic special on TLC. Liked it a lot better than the first one last week. Alain performed a number of mentalism effects that were better suited for his style. I thought the dodge ball and blindfold driving stunts in the first special were a little weak. Alain gets a much better response when he seems to be reading his audiences mind..

In case you missed them, you can go to the Learning Channel online and see when they will re-broadcast. I think they are on again this week. Also, he has two more specials coming on in the next couple of months. Keep an eye out...
