See the following posted by Bob on the Genii forum

Post by Bob Farmer » 09/01/14 Today 08:13 AM

Yes, the book is being fine-tuned to perfection. Actually, the short delay has created a bonus: I worked out a three-phase routine using a new combination of ideas from the book and I've been performing it constantly over the last three weeks.

One of my (non-magic) friends, determined not to be fooled again, insisted on recording the entire performance on her iPhone. She's been watching it over and over and still has no clue--that's because, in each phase of the routine, the spectator does all the shuffling, and in the final phase the spectator shuffles all the cards, deals them and then can switch any cards around or even the hands--and he still loses. Cards are ordinary.

The whole thing looks completely hands off, so a video doesn't help at all.

I'm going to add this to the book.

Here's an update:

1. The book is finished.

2. It is 397 pages, not counting the contents pages.

3. There are 263 entries, not counting the references.

4. The are 296 references.

5. The book will sell for $75 U.S. plus postage and handling. Because postage to the U.K and Europe is so ridiculously high, I'm looking into fulfilling those orders from Scotland from a cache of books that will be stored there.

6. I'm proud to announce that David Ben and Julie Eng will be the publishers through Magicana:

http://www.magicana.com/portfolio/publications/

7. I hope to have a pre-publication discount offer up shortly--as soon as I do, I'll post the details here.

Looking forward to this.

I know Bob was discussing how these could be purchased from a pilot location in UK to reduce what I suspect will be high postage costs from the US

Roll on March
