Jeff, have you seen the Trapdoor Vol 1 hardbound volume? Steve Beam is annotating each issue in an appendix, and I love it!

Thanks for the nice words, Duane. Unfortunately the book isn't quite think enough to allow a title on the spine, per our printer's requirements. I miss it too.

By the way, Houdini's Magic Shop not only has Jinx in PDF on disc, you can still get the hardback reprint from them too.

And, I just noticed today, that they're offering a less expensive softbound reprint too. That would be only $60 for whole set.

The Jinx Companion sold out at Magic Live. Did you pick up a copy from H&R's booth?

Not only is The Jinx Companion now back in stock. Steve Beam in his fantastic Trapdoor Volume 2 says “Track it down. You should find it fun and more than worth your time.”

If you're still on the fence, check out the review of The Jinx Companion in Genii. Jamy Ian Swiss says “This is like taking a jungle safari with a guide who loves the terrain. It’s a trip you shouldn’t miss.”

Thanks to David Ben for recommending The Jinx Companion in MAGICOL. And for suggesting that The Phoenix would make a worthy follow-up. We'll think it over.

I ordered from Amazon and was surprised to read on the back page the book came from Lexington, Ky, with a date of 5 August, 2012. Talk about hot off the press.......

My weekly visits to the magic shop in the late forties always ended up with a copy of Hugards Magic Monthly, The Bat, Genii, Sphinx or the Jinx. Great reading for a 10 year old kid learnin' all those big magic words.

BTW my middle name is Gordon. Maybe were related if your rich.

Thanks, Spartacus. Hope you love it. If I get rich, I'll definitely keep you in mind, brother.

If you're in Chicago, you can pick up a copy of The Jinx Companion at the nation's oldest family-owned magic shop--Magic Inc. Rumor has it they even have a signed copy in stock.
