    Thank you to whoever the mysterious person is that shared Chinese Black Magic on Facebook a week and a half ago. It helps us out when you do stuff like that, everyone. If you enjoy a post and think your friends might enjoy it too…

    It’s St. Patrick’s Day. We’d also like more hate mail.

  • Odds and Ends #4: The Fig One

    Category: ,

    So Mark Elsdon featured us last Sunday in his premium newsletter, A Metabolic Fig. What the hell? Thank you, Mark! A Metabolic Fig is an excellent newsletter that provides the best of magic weekly. That he would think an article of ours was worth featuring means a great deal. It was even enough to counteract…

    We’re on WordPress, baby! Fuck Squarespace. Fuck Squarespace so, so hard. I cannot recommend against using that platform strongly enough. Vast quantities of thanks go to our webmaster, who spent 6 hours getting everything working. The first thought on your mind might be “Wow, guys, the site looks like shit.” No it doesn’t. It looks…

  • The Site Goes Down On You

    Category:

    As one of you may have noticed, the site went down briefly on Thursday. We’re in the process of transferring to a different host, and our webmaster screwed something up attempting the transfer. They have been soundly beaten with an appearing cane for their actions and have assured us that the site will probably not…

  • New Year, New Site

    Category:

    Here’s the important part, right at the top: Guest posts and other “bonus content” like reader mail will take up the next two posts while we import posts to the new platform.

  • For Your Convenience

    Category:

    It doesn’t make sense that we’re putting out posts Saturday, and sometimes Sunday. It should obviously be Sunday, and sometimes Saturday. That way you’re not coming Saturday for the guaranteed post, then checking Sunday to perhaps be disappointed. You can just check Sunday, and if there’s a post Saturday you’ll see it too. Effective immediately,…

  • Introductions, an Erratum

    Category:

    First off, Gemini Twins Reloaded contained an error. Where it read “You should now have a target card on top, two of the opposite color cards below it, and then your other target card fourth from top.” it should have obviously instead read “You should now have a target card on top, two indifferent cards…

  • The Oval Credits

    Category:

    It has come to our attention that some are confused by the nameless approach we’ve been taking thus far. We will, as a result, gladly continue. In all seriousness, it is fair to at least let you know which component is by which anonymous head, which I will now elaborate upon. Illustrations are executed by…

    The big budget post is coming tomorrow, in about 8 hours. We hope it helps the professionals and satisfies the curiosity of the amateurs. Email subscription is available as an option on the homepage now, if you’re interested for some reason. We’ll only email you when there’s a new post unless you say otherwise, except…
