News From Sankey, Ammar and Stone Cold Magic

4.5 Stars For Stone Frixion Fire

For those of you who haven’t jumped on board the Frixion Freight Train, now’s the time. The My Lovely Assistant site, known for it’s directness and honest in reviews has given Stone Frixion Fire a 4.5 (out of 5 stars) rating. As you may know, I am an “official reviewer” at this site. However, other than Eugene Burger and Joe Diamond, I’ve never met any of the other Official Reviewers. Their reputation is on the line with their reviews, so you’ll find them refreshing. Check out what they had to say about my Stone Frixion Fire DVD. Then when you’re done with the review there, go buy it here: Stone Cold Magic. For the next 10 days, it’ll be 17% off. It normally goes for $30.00, but until Friday (2/11/11) it will be $25.00. Of course, as always, FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!

New Michael Ammar Site

I recently found a new site for all you Ammar Fans. Any fan knows that Michael Ammar is a master teacher, and his Easy to Master series is one of the best tools of our time for learning the trade. Now those effects are available for instant download on his new site, World’s Greatest Magic.

Enough With The Tarot Promise Already

Last but not least . . . the News section wouldn’t be complete with another update on a way overdue project. The Tarot Project is actually very close. I was able to spend a lot of time on it last week. I truly am hoping for a release by the end of February 2011. Wish me luck!

Enjoy the rest of this month’s issue!

You’ve met at least ONE other “My Lovely Assistant” reviewer. At least, he had one review published there.

@Chetly – I presume you are referring to yourself . . . Yep – We’ve met, but alas . . . you are not an “Official” Reviewer. 🙂

P.S.- How are you liking (or hating) the new magazine layout?

The new layout is, at first, confusing – until I found the “next article” arrows at the top. For some reason, they blended into the background. Overall, the new layout makes for a much faster read. I don’t know if that’s what you want, but it speeds right by.

And it certainly is green.

As to “official” — I guess I never did find out what “official” meant on that site. Never did hear from anyone.

One thing which I feel the magazine has always needed: links to your other sites, such as your store.

March 2011 at 5:26 am

@Chet – the links are there . . . they’re just blended into the articles. I’m not 100% settled on this layout yet. I’ll be continuing to make improvements . . . and as always, I’m open for feedback.
