The Clog: Andi Gladwin, Tyler Wilson and Luke Dancy have started a collaborative blog (or Clog). Welcome to the fold fellow-bloggers and I couldn’t think of three better minds in magic to join together in such a venture. They have already put up some thought provoking posts, which are generating lots of comments, check out Tyler’s post on the double-undercut, and Andi’s posts on Magic Clubs and Crediting, and Luke’s first contribution contains some of his out-of-the-box thinking on a couple of standard plots, well worth the read and I look forward to future posts!

Dominatricks
Friday, May 5, 2006
Dominatricks is Tyler Wilson’s new book published by Andi Gladwin. I will hopefully try and do a full review later, but for now, two words: BUY IT! Ok you might be saying but who is this Tyler Wilson? I first became aware of him through TSD and his submissions to the forum and to Genii and MAGIC magazine. I hadn’t met him till Andi brought him over for The Session convention, and I was blown away.
Sometimes it's hard to be a Cardman...
Thursday, February 9, 2006
Andi Gladwin has launched his brand-new site, and it looks excellent! You can read a bit about him, and what he has published, read some of his articles and best of all purchase his goods! Andi’s lecture notes ‘Sometimes it’s hard to be a Cardman’ are fantastic with some great new moves (his Inflight Control and Tatfus are worth the price of the notes) and routines which range from self-working to knuckle-busting, his Supersonic is super-easy and super-effective and Red Black to the Future is a very visual take on the Call to the Colours plot.
