MagicNZ BBS back online ---------------------------------- On 1st January 2000 Chris and I decided to take MagicNZ BBS offline we felt that the technology had now been superseded and it was time to call it a day. We were both surprised with the amount of mail asking us to consider reinstating MagicNZ. Most e-mails pointed out that it was great to have a forum where all magicians could have their say and voice their personal opinions and debate current issues. So the good news MagicNZ BBS is it's back online! If you would like to join MagicNZ BBS and you are not a current member, please apply for membership to Alan Watson. e-mail alan@watson.co.nz ---------------------------------- 5. Tara Okan wants to buy illusions ---------------------------------- Tara Okan wants to buy illusions suitable for surround performances. He would like to find unused illusions and rebuild them for his client. He specifically would like: Sawing in half Illusion Impalement Illusion Mismade Girl Illusion Subtrunk Chair Suspension Crystal casket Illusion Asrah illusion Also he also wants a zombie ball (Large Size) Reasonable prices negotiated These illusions are for a visiting Australian magician so the promoter does not have to freight illusions to New Zealand three times a year for the next two years. If any members have illusions they wish to sell please contact Tara Okan e-mail: tara@themagicfactory.com ---------------------------------- 6.
