Contest Extended Through November! - Stone Cold Magic Magazine

By Popular Demand – Sort of:
Alright, so the truth is that I haven’t had time to “participate” in the contest that I started in the September 2009 issue. Additionally, there are some of you out there who want to participate, but haven’t had a chance, so I’m extending the contest deadline. Remember, the prize is FREE STONE COLD MAGIC PRODUCTS FOR LIFE! The basics are this: film yourself performing an effect from one of the free monthly effects. Upload it to youtube and send me a link. For the rest of the details, check out the September 2009 news.

You have until November 30, 2009 to enter!

Lecturing Again:
If you happen to live in the Kansas City, Missouri area, then I might get a chance to shake your hand. On Thursday, November 19th, I’ll be lecturing for the local magic gang. If you live in that area and you’d like to attend, shoot me an email and I’ll give you the details. I’ll be debuting my latest book there. You won’t want to miss that will you?

New Password:
I’d like some feedback from you. How’s the whole password-protected free tricks thing working for you guys? I’m just trying to make it a little bit of a pain so that the curious who want to have magic “exposed” to them will walk away. Let me know what you think. Feel free to just post a comment below.

For the new password, check your email titled “October 2009 Stone Cold Magic Magazine.” Enjoy the rest folks. See ya next month!

This was too good a joke to leave in private conversation:

Does this work in reverse? Can we exchange Stone Cold Magic products for More Life?

@Chet – Man if that would work, I could live forever.

About the password, is there a way for the access to be saved onto an account, so that I don’t need to retype the password every month, or if I’m using a different computer, to remember what the password was? If it’s saved to an account, that will also get rid of the exposure seekers problem.

@Sal – I’m working on a new method for the protection. For now, I’m just trying to keep the passwords simple. If you stay on the same computer and don’t clear your cookies, it remembers the password next time you visit the site, and you won’t have to retype it.

@Michal – I just emailed the password to you. However, I decided to temporarily turn off the password because I’m having too many technical issues with it.

Well, I don’t think I’ll be able to enter this contest, and this has nothing to do with not enough time. I’m still going to try to write up an explanation for my ‘improvement’ on Overtime.

Good luck to all those who are participating!

Well I was going to make one just for fun, but didn’t get to it. I even wrote a script and was going to do ‘Jacked Up’ and ‘Most Triumphant’, but a new house brings new demands on my time.

@OZ – That’s a bummer. I would’ve loved to have seen it.
