Does anyone know what's up? I ordered two of his books a month ago and have not received them or any word back from either of the two email addresses I have for him.

I hope everything is okay with him and his, but would like some communication somehow.

Can anyone out there shed some light?

JB

I got jealous of his skill and broke both of his friggin' hands off at the wrists.

That'll teach him to do real magic.....

So cut the guy some slack, will ya?

It's not easy for him to hold a spoon right now, let alone palm a coin.

Sheesh....magicians and their priorities.....lol j/k

Wow Eric, if you had someone to help you, I would have called it Carnage et Trois

Wow that's 2 for 2 from the coin guys, funny stuff.

Same here. I ordered a book like two weeks ago and still nothing. I did get a confirmation from paypal though, but that's all.

He's become an island curmudgeon to hone his edge grip/mutobe skills in solitude for the next few decades.

Maybe if you write in his facebook, you can obtain a reply

He is out taking care of some business with Chuck Norris

Naaah... Guys, the man just saw me perform and suddenly realized he had to move on to something else...

My new "face grip" applications just freaked him out a little... he'll get over it.

Relax. I think he is on winter break. I found the collage schedule for the University he teaches at, see below:

University of Delaware
Fall classes: 9/3 – 12/10
Thanksgiving break: 11/26 – 11/30
Exams: 12/12 – 12/19
Winter Session: 1/5 – 2/6
Exams: 2/7

He's around, I'm sure he'll get back to you in the near-future.
After being told people were wondering what happened to him his humorous response on Facebook was as follows:

Tell them he's busy coming up with the "real stuff"....the stuff too good to publish.
Also say that he's coming up with a bunch of packet tricks to sell.

What I meant to say was that maybe he was not teaching during the one month winter session and he was on vacation.

I'm starting to doubt whether this person ever really existed. You know, come to think of it, I've never seen him and Homer Liwag in the same place....

Hehe. I think both of them were imagined by great magicians with the initials C.K.

...or maybe it's all one big conspiracy and they really are the same person...

Though, it would explain why they both are so *** good!

He is most definitly here. I posted a few things on his Facebook and he responded pretty quickly. Maybe he doesen't frequent the Café as much rather than just reading it now. I have never seen any posts by him here. COntact him on facebook or just email him, it is the best way.

Is rhucko really Kainoa's half brother?
BWind

Half brother from his parents fourth marriage, 3 times adopted, twice removed

I would believe, like Curtis, that Kainoa was the figament of my imagination of actually someone else pretending to be Kainoa, but I met him at WMS a few years back (in fact he was standing with Curtis at the time) and watched him work. So I know he is real. Now the stuff he does with coins...He has to be an alien from a distant planet with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Maybe there will be a history's mysteries episode on mr. harbottle soon..... anyway I hope he is in the works publishing new material
