The Magical Web: Has several good articles, check out the spotlight feature.
Nokia Game 2000: I’ve just joined the Nokia Game, should be a laugh. Basically they will send you clues via SMS on your phone and you have to have access to the Internet and Radio, TV and Papers etc. I just hope I have the time in November to play, sign up now its running in 18 different countries…
Cool Homepages: I need some ideas for a re-design!
In-Situ WYSIWYG web editor: a nice edior that is written in javascript using IE’s Document Object Model (DOM) that actually sits in your webbrowser and allows you to edit the page in-line.
Sheep Game - A game of virtual sheep herding: Its an experiment in using Flash with PHP and SQL, all based around a cute little game, very cool! Watch out for his new game Olympigs…
1FONTS - Hundreds of free fonts, pc truetype and mac fonts. All free. Haven’t had much chance to go through them all, but hopefully I will be able to find a font to do a new header… maybe a new re-design of the site as well, and while I am at it I might even move the server so I can run PHP arghhh!
Magician Blaine Conjures Up Icy Web Deal: Blaine has signed a deal with iCast to provide coverage of his iceblock stunt. Also his site will have video and photos and chats. Personally IMHO I really dislike his (lack of) presentation style, which consists of sidling up to people and saying “Can I show you something!” But that aside he has made Magic cool again getting rid of the box pushers and bird handlers…
Original Sinclair ZX81 Kits: Very tempted to buy one of these just for nostalgia sake, but a bit expensive at
Grand Illusions: A site featuring optical illusions, scientific toys, visual effects, and even a little magic. Check out the yoghurt pot with a memory, and the feature articles are a brilliant read.

Remote Show Control - Shows you how to Control your show with a laptop, and cue music on demand.
Tenyo Phantom Clock Patent: this time a patent for Lubor Fielders Tenyo trick. A very clever idea typical of the Lubor way of thinking!
Patent Optical Illusion device for Concealing an object for produciton: Another patent link, just like Copperfields Flying patent. This one is for a production box.
Kingston Cons - the future of telecommunications: Obviously some people don’t agree with my view on the price change. I really think though that the other ISP’s will get clogged up and have constant engaged tones. I guess I will stay with Karoo for now and see how the other ISP’s cope and what reports they get as more and more people hop on the wagon, I will NOT change to AOL though on a matter of principal 
Kingston Internet Ltd are my ISP and as I mentioned earlier in my blog are changing all their prices. I’ve just telephoned them to upgrade to the Karoo Anytime service, which is a whopping
Joseph Wu’s Origami Page: the first link to an origami page on this blog! I said I’d try to bring you more than just magic links… this one is via usr/bin/girl one of my favourite blogs… I should really try to make some models I picked up Robert Harbings ‘Magic of Paper Folding’ whilst on holiday, not a bad find for about
MCPCentral.Com - Flash & ASP Part1: Learn how to integrate the nice frontend of flash with the power of ASP, I’m in the process of teaching myself Flash4 but I guess this will be a little outdated now Flash5 has been released. The second part of the tutorial covers a little bit of Flash5.
RANTMODE: BTCellnet Had an interesting conversation with BTCellnet this dinner time, basically I had a Cellnet PAYG phone which I gave to my Sister when I swapped my phone for a Nokia 3210 on 121… She was talking to her best friend, who incidentally rang her, and suddenly she got cut off, and her phone had lost all her credit, which was about 4.50ukp. So she rang BTCellnet, and explained, and they said they would have to get an engineer to look into it… cut to a few weeks later, one of her first days at University and she was in Safeways shopping, when they rang her mobile, she told them it was not a good time. I think she eventually got the 4.50ukp out of them. Then I got this call today, apparently they have looked into the problem, and at first couldn’t find anything, and then suddenly they found that according to them she only lost about 2.40ukp… so they could issue her with a 2.50ukp voucher, so I got a bit angry with them asking if there was any compensation for the time she lost use of her mobile etc. But no we can’t do that Sir! So much for customer care! In their words “We only issue 2.50ukp vouchers” for a company that is predicted to make a 300million profit upto March 2001 you think they would invest in a little Customer Care… in fact if they sorted their network so people couldn’t chip their phones, and steal their profits or even use fake credit card numbers to get credit then they might be able to invest a little into making sure these problems don’t happen, the guy on the phone said he still didn’t know why it happened, glad to know that they have the experts working for them! Anyway she is thinking of changing her phone to One2One so thats some comfort. /RANTMODE
ProMagic @ www.ezboard.com: Received this link via e-mail, because they got my mailing address from a ‘Magic Forum’ and thought I might be interested! Anyway have a look at this forum its for Professional or Advanced level Magicians, not many messages there yet, and a bit of a struggle to register, but it might get going… you need a password which is the first initial and last name of the magician to which we attribute inventing the ‘olram subtlety’!
CardMSG Magic: A site to keep your eyes on, still a little under construction but as the site says it contains an Online Guide to Quality Magic, Magicians and Magiclinks…
