For anyone who might be interested, here's a growing list of tricks published in Genii magazine that have been posted on youtube. Feel free to add any others you know of, or record yourself performing a trick, sleight, or routine you learned from Genii, upload it to youtube, then tell us about it here.

Also, I'd like to point out that, if you're interested in something you see on the list below, back issues of Genii are available for about the same price as a single-trick download at http://www.geniimagazine.com

Thanks Ben, and I'm not just saying that because everyone on the Café knows you're David Blaine. I actually started compiling this list when I read a comment on another thread about the tricks in Genii only being useful to magicians who perform for other magicians. I think you get an indication here of how inaccurate that is, though you will absolutely find magician-oriented routines in the magazine every now and then.
