Hi Ichazod !

You told us about C. Chelman who inspired you a part of you routine. I'm a fan of this guy, even if I don't do his kind of magic.
He can give us a lot of inspiration.

But I want to ask you if you've read the latest C. Chelman book "Urban Legend"...
Because in this book there are 2 routines (beautiful) which are built on the theme "Gambling with the devil".

Are these routines the source of your ideas ?

Check out Stephen Benet's short story, The Devil and Daniel Webster; you can find the whole thing on the Net, using a search engine like Google.
It's the classic Faust yarn moved to post-colonial America, in which a farmer sells his soul to the devil and then, when the contract comes due, gets Daniel Webster to argue his case for him and against the devil.
That should provide you will fodder for many, many themes along the lines you are looking for, Ichazod.
(Pay particular attention to the style of writing -- bizarre, before there was any popularized bizarre magic!)
cheers,
Peter Marucci

OR the Devil and Daniel Mouse. LOL
Most magically yours,
WR

Thank you all for the help here, the routine was inspired by the effect"Soul snatcher" out of "Capricornian tales". I mixed it up a bit & made it my own.




Thanx again

Get in touch with Karl Bartoni at Dragonskull prod. This gentleman has turned smells into an artform. He has delayed smells, triggered smells, instant smells.
You name it and he can do it.
Besides, you won't find a nicer, more sharing person than Karl anywhere.
Best,
James

I like using smell when and where I can... back in the 70s (sigh) when I first started doing the Cremation, I had special little boxes with fans and heating elements in them that we would sit into the ventillation system of the room being worked... Now bare in mind, my mother was a hair dresser... I think you get the idea here... people were tossing their cookies

Hey! Any press is good press in this business... (if you have a good spin doctor!)
