I can (in a very straightforward manner) say that the magazine keeps it's value in two respects,
namely both Dan Harlan articles. They are the main hooks/strengths to this article, and are the
reason I can say this magazine is fairly priced.
I personally feel Dan was really really
dang passionate, and he communicated information the magic community is in dire need of: Talk on the
I.T. where it is most critical, and ways to truly be more creative. Very VERY useful. Sadly, I felt
the other material was lackluster, and did not "solve a inherent problem" as Dan did.
This
"solving a inherent problem" should be the template for all future articles. Dan followed the
template/met the requirements, and what resulted was priceless info.
The past issues have
been great. When you guys had Jimmy T. writing articles on Busking and street performing, I was
overjoyed as his articles dealt with the inherent problem of "How to busk...and be successful!"
I want more of these articles with this format penguin. Even in the free trick article, solve
and give away a solution to a longstanding problem. Be expressive, and be emotional! And your fans
will love you for it.
Keep it up, and keep solving those problems!!!
