Scott Compton Special user Hampton, VA 747 Posts	Posted: Sep 11, 2006 08:59 pm 0 I just got my Linking Ring and saw that Stephen Bargatze is on the cover. All I can say is, EXCELENT CHOICE! Steve is truly one of the originals in this business and he never fails to crack me up. Way to go Stephen! Scott Compton Magic is an art.

In fact, the only thing better than Stephen on the cover was seeing the name "The Linking Ring" restored to its former glory. Was it really a postal code issue, or simply too much of the membership's acrimony toward the acronym?

This cover looks great especially with Steve's comical stance and great smile. I first met Bargatze when he was working in Indianapolis, Indiana at a Hardware Trade show as "Yo Yo" the clown back in the late 1980's. I was impressed by him back then. Now look at what this talent has done for him. Congratulations to Steve Bargatze.

He is also an incredibly STRONG motivational speaker. Magic is an art.

Mike Gorman New user Cary, North Carolina 58 Posts	Posted: Sep 19, 2006 01:29 pm 0 I also liked the cover of this month's Linking Ring Magazine. While I personally liked TLR on the cover (since it gave the magazine a more modern look, and also allowed more space for the cover picture without running across it), I know that many people were on both sides of the issue. Many people liked both versions. I do know that postal regulations was the reason Phil (Exec. Editor) had to revert to the original wording on the cover. The magazine is still the best bargain in the magic world with more pages and more magic stories and membership information than any others. Seeing the original name back on the cover is fine with me! Mike Gorman
