Wow, that Zig Zag is atrocious. I guess it would be ok if he just pulled the box over more than half-way...
hmmm.. |

I realize this is resurrecting an old topic, but it might be of interest that Mike Caveney has a 22 minute talk about the Zig Zag Controversy posted at this link:
http://essentialmagicconference.com/videos/111 (and yeah , there are some really HORRIBLE performances of Zig Zag posted on YouTube . Fellas , open your eyes and take a good hard look at your performance and equipment. No one is remotely fooled when your assistant isn't limber enough to be able to slide the middle of the box all the way over to the left . Either your cabinet is build wrong or your assistant isn't slender/limber enough or both ... ) |

FWIW, I was alerted to this controversy while watching episode #14 of Magic Collectors' Corner. One of the features during the episode is the magic of Robert Harbin and the controversy (and article by Mike Caveney in March 2009 Magic Magazine) was mentioned. I have a subscription to Genii which also gives me access to back-issues of Magic Magazine and I just finished reading Mike Caveney's article. I found the whole thing to be quite fascinating. Now, back to Magic Collectors's Corner! Mark |

Larson originally took up for Harbin. After the Abbot incident he declared he would never have any magician in Genii who did the Zig-Zag, several years later he published plans for a simplified version.
Also it time for someone to put out a reasonably priced version of "The Harbin Book".
One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.

The book was produced by Harbin to keep it out of the hands of everybody. The rights are owned by the Origami Society and the plates have been destroyed. There will most likely never be a reprint, especially a cheap one. That is the way it should be. That is the way Harbin wanted it.
