Has anyone made an index of Osborne's Genii plans? I did start one but the Genii archives seem to be intermittently functional.

The Genii Archive works without problem, though the search function is not operating properly. That should be fixed when we move to a new internal platform this year.

Just to clarify, what I meant is that the web viewer functions normally until I try to go back to reading an issue normally after viewing a search result, which prevents anything from working. For some reason it has trouble switching back to the normal viewer and everything breaks.

Just Google 'Walmart', when you get to their site enter 'illusion plans' in their search bar and bingo up they come; the most closely guarded illusion secrets being sold alongside toilet rolls and turnips.

Is the Magic Tables in "Kidtrix" the plan for the Owen Elephanthead Tables ?
One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.

What a shame. Everything and anything has become an exploit for a quick dollar.

It looks to me that the Wal-Mart website has made themselves another Amazon competition. I ordered a computer motherboard from them years ago. It is hard to find products that Wal-Mart actually sells in their stores. Nowhere do they explain how they list other companies and peoples products. I tried to order a music CD online not long ago, and it would never go through or take my order. So I am not sure it is a real website for Wal-Mart. Very strange, what is going on with them.

Hey Friends,

My team has trying to create this illusion from the blueprints we bought from Osborne's site. However, the platform on the blueprints are really confusing.

Can someone please help us that knows how to operate this effect? It would be much appreciated.

Wow! Walmart again! I just bought an appearing candle from walmart.com and it is a genuine fantasio! As an aspiring illusionist who is wanting to learn more, I find there is a lot of sour grapes toward others who either build or buy from sources like China magic and Walmart. I would like to state that in fact, the real culprit of such infringement is capitalism, the love of money, and government systems of oppression and authority. The only way to live is to earn money. the only way to earn money is to sell your time, art, creations. this then breeds others to sell the same thing to make money and copy others that have done the same. I would not be angry at an individual artist who ascertains their props from these sources, yet would find it as an eye opener to what is wrong with humanity in general. Why do we have to have systems of money, oppression, and control?
In my opinion, when you market a creation you have released it to be duplicated by others who were inspired by it. This is just the way it is. If magic and the secrets of the builds and effects were to stay guarded they would need to remain within a small circle and passed down by the creator to the apprentice. This has been discarded due to the need for money to survive. On the other hand, what good is a masterpiece if it is never seen by anyone?
Imagine an artist like Rembrandt or Picasso never allowing the public to see their paintings! Absurd. I blame humanity's greed and the need for money to survive and those who market their original ideas for profit as the main culprit. Alas, I am an oxymoron and hypocrite as well so take that for what it is.

Looking at Osborne's illusions, and, while this thread is old, appreciate all the links shared.
