Alan Watson’s e-Zine is What We Crave!

Alan Watson – Magic’s Busiest Man!

Like the nosy officer that thinks just because I am a magician I can?t afford a brand new car each week and therefore must have ?stolen? it ? like it couldn?t be that I?m running an errand for the man or woman sleeping in the trunk of that very car? I have been so tempted to just turn Inside Magic into a HTML reprint of Mr. Watson’s journal.

Similarly, like those who wonder if I have math skills (interestingly 6 out of 5 magicians do not understand statistics), I have been so impressed at how Mr. Watson can turn out so much information in such a short time. It might be that inNew Zealand, Mr. Watson?s home, the use of the metric system actually provides more than 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

As I have said before, the metric system is a mystery to me. How could a kilometer be less than a mile? And is it fair that Europeans get to travel shorter distances than those of us with odometers using miles?

My point is: Mr. Watson?s e-zine is outstanding. It comes conveniently wrapped as a plain email message but with one click of the mouse, it appears as a cornucopia of wonderful magic news from all around the world. The journal is well-edited (much better than Inside Magig) and has contributions from some pretty substantial folks in our business.

I could go on and on about Mr. Watson?s great work but you should do yourself the favor already indulged in by approximately 6,000 magicians around the world (that?s 11,400 magicians in metric).

Go to: www.watson.co.nz/ezine.html and subscribe. You?ll receive the kind of information you won?t receive anywhere else ? unless we decide to ?steal? or ?borrow? the e-zine and republish it here. But we promise if we ?swipe? or ?rip-off? the e-zine, we?ll also make up fake stories so it will fit in with the general motif of fiction being portrayed as reality for which Inside Magic is so correctly attacked.
