In regards to the Scot book project you may want to reconsider some of the more gory bits of business (at least one in particular) as Penguin Magic has just recently put out The Amazing Johnathan’s Knife Through Arm which is in essence described in Scot. If you have ever seen this live it’s quite good. I think it would make for a great opener to a set of routined tricks devoted to Scot’s book. Also, try contacting Weber as he put out quite a few years back some of the original props in plastic replica form of some of the more unusual items described in the book. I once attended a lecture of his and mentioned this Scot magic set, he said he still had one (for sale I didn’t ask). But the brief conversation sort of ended that a show devoted solely to Scot’s effects would be show he would actually want to see as well. I concur and look forward to updates on this project.
