Hocus Pocus Parade: R.C. Buff (February 1978)

Once again, a true gem found within the pages of The Linking Ring. Mr. Buff was enamored with rope, string and ribbon effects and there're some top notch items in this contribution. The first effect entitled, "Ancient Ropes, Oops, Rope" is quite intriguing. I like quirky off-beat effects and this one focuses on different colored ropes and even using a self-made gimmick to gimmick a length of rope.....reads kind of HARD but I actually think once you got your mojo working on this one, it'd be worth the effort. I will re-visit this bad boy at a later date.

The Linking Ring magazine annotated index

I spend a'lot of time reading magic-related magazines (not to mention books). Sometimes, it just seems kind of purposeless (I know, I could practice!!)...so I decided that I'd start a bit of an annotated index of tricks found in The Linking Ring. What magician doesn't know about the monthly publication of the IBM? I've ammased quite a collection of those mags!! So, keep a lookout on what's going on here.....especially if you have access to a'lot of Linking Rings!!

Just to be nice

Diamond Jim Tyler video

Can't shut up

Well.....apparently, I just can't shut up about Diamond Jim Tyler, now can I? I think I'll post a video on YouTube I took at his lecture.

IBM Ring 266 hosts Diamond Jim Tyler

Our local Ring (Tyler, Texas) was fortunate to have Diamond Jim Tyler lecture for our club recently.........I bought a sweet little DVD (with cards) for an effect he calls, "DiaMonte".......very nice!! I made a few short videos clips.
