Oh god, I'm in that boat. I pray we get a real update at some point. It blows my mind that we've had to wait this long for a re-release of a book. not even a first edition.
Last night, I got pulled over, and I performed close-up magic for a couple of police officer's. It was really fun and a good way to challenge my nerves.
Possibly the issue with The Magic Cafe and Google could be that the forum system hasn't been updated in over 20 years. A image file size maximum of 75 KB? Come on...
As for exposure: How many times have you seen someone perform a trick that blew you away only to learn that it came from a book you own and it was a trick you just skimmed over and did not stop to read and learn it. It’s the same thing.
Thanks Craig! It seems now, that when we order magic online, many of the shops say "It's on the way...just a few more days/weeks/months. Not all, but some just turn around and send it out of China, or who knows where! Please do not take our money if you do not have the merchandise in stock!
Perhaps people are not aware that Dan's long term GF died in a car accident during The Big Flu. Her loss took a huge toll on him. Dan's new wife is a huge help to him and I'm sure that the book will make it into people's hands.
The way that these elitist magic societies work makes me very proud I never accepted invitations or sought them out. Without free tricks and exposure, I’d have never been a magician in the first place. I was poor. I didn’t have any means of getting even cheap books, let alone multiple decks of cards or props. I learned tricks and practiced them in libraries where I could get free computer and internet access. A magic teacher? I had never met one until I became a pro in my 20’s. Being elitist about magic takes the magic out of magic. It’s disgusting.
The people complaining about Dan’s book should ask about people waiting 4 years for Aaron Fisher’s book

I have a 45min drive to my next job, and you put up a 45min video. Impeccable timing
Listen and drive at 1.5x - pow! You can get an extra 15mins of sleep. 😊

Dan Harlan's daughter has been in the hospital with a systemic infection, and now his wife is sick, so that may enter into it.

YES!!!! Magic News !!!!!! Sit back with a beer and enjoy .
I got a pdf with a rubber band trick and photos of Dan taking a bath. I got my monies worth on this project!
I don't propose it... but it would be funn,y if the Cardiff magic society could watch that lecture on youtube for free right?
Psst…the real secret of magic is the secrets aren’t where the magic is.

I think where exposure videos becomes an issue is when they exposes another magicians magic.
Exactly this…
