For all of you IBM members "across the pond", just in case you aren't totally sick of my yet, I will have a monthly column in "The Budget" in 2010. The column will feature a new trick every month. Mostly close up but a few of them also play well for stand up shows. And it's not all cards, either... although a lot of it is. Most of the material is stuff that has been previously unreleased or only had a small release. Some of it is updated and improved handlings of previously released material.

As always with my stuff, the emphasis will be on practical, real world material. And just to prove that all of the effects are doable, I will be posting a performance video on my website every month of that month's featured trick. No special codes will be needed. The videos will be there for anyone to see.

For those of you who receive The Budget, I hope you enjoy the column!

BTW, Stephen Tucker tells me that I might be the only American to have a series in The Budget. He says "might' as he is only about 96.2543212% sure. Bad memory but a god at math.
