Good to here.

magus Special user Huntington Beach, Ca 669 Posts	Posted: Mar 3, 2007 11:44 pm 0 I saw Jay Marshall do a routine using a sheet of newspaper, where he folded it into several different hats. But I haven't seen this in years. Does anyone know if this was published anywhere? Please PM me if you know anything about this routine- thanks, Pat crappy deium- what a lousy day to be seized thaumometer- a device for measuring a magical field

Anderson takes a sheet (double page) of newspaper and makes several hats, one leading into another. It can be found in his book (co authored with Francis Marshall) "In the News". That book also has dozens of newspaper based tricks and routines including Anderson's "Torn and Flash Restored Newspaper." It is a best buy for books and is still in print and still sold by Magic, Inc. (Jay's shop) in Chicago. The artist formally known as Mumblepeas!
magus Special user Huntington Beach, Ca 669 Posts	Posted: Mar 4, 2007 05:34 pm 0 Julie, I sent an e-mail to Magic Inc. Joseph, good idea, but not quite what I was looking for, but like I said, good idea, and Harry, thank you, I read the this years ago, but at the time I was interested in the newpaper tear and completely missed the "hat trick" in there. Thank you all for taking the time to help out. Pat crappy deium- what a lousy day to be seized thaumometer- a device for measuring a magical field

Jay Marshall's 'Table Crap' video/DVD from Stevens Magic features the brilliant Juan Escadero routine. I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. Elayne Boosler
