It's nice to know that the old crowd is still here at the Café --- and presumably doing just fine using Don's tried-and-true Svengali Pitch.
I have had to stop pitching due to arthritis in my toes, which makes it hard to stand for extended periods of time. So last November, I sold the bulk of my stock to a young local fellow; he does a good number of parlor and stage shows in our area, and he wanted to start a BOR business after his shows to increase his take. So I know my stuff will have a good home and will be used to its best advantage. But I'm still active in magic; now I'm working on a sit-down Cups & Balls routine, as well as a good Endless Chain (Fast & Loose) demo that can be done seated. And I will still chime in here at the Café if I think I have something of value to contribute. SETH

Hello Seth:
I had to stop pitching too, as I have kidney failure, and I am waiting for a transplant. I am still active in Magic too, mostly card sleights, Featuring the Tossed Out Deck. I wish you all the best in 2012 Seth, and may your health improve rapidly. ROD |

Hey Rod -- very sorry to hear about your situation.
I wish I could magically produce a new kidney for you!! Here's hoping that one does appear for you soon. SETH

Hello Seth:
Hey Thanks !!! I take one day at a time. I am trying to get on transplant lists in 3 states. Take care Rod |

Seth, good luck on your new endeavors.I've always loved watching a good fast and loose performance.
Rod, I am also in kidney failure and have been on the transplant list for almost 5 years now. I also assume you must be on dialysis too. I have a website that tells my story,but if you ever want to talk or swap resources, feel free to contact me. Kim |

Kim -- I present the Endless Chain as more of a historical demo than a "Guess which side is fast?" challenge. And the cool thing about my demo is that it's loaded with false explanations, so the more I "explain" it, the more mystifying it becomes.
It's clear from the get-go that the specs cannot win, but the big question is "Why?" Despite all the supposed "answers," that mystery is never solved. So the original "con game" becomes a magic trick that everyone can enjoy without feeling threatened, challenged or stupid. SETH

Rod -- When you go to dialysis, don't forget to ask them if they've seen the cards that walk, talk and do a little tap dance on the tabletop -- the magic cards that let you perform miracles, yet do all the work for you. . . .
Who knows, you may sell a few dozen decks! SETH
