Hey, GMGers. Keith here. I'm about to get on a plane, but decided to risk being late in order to get you Episode 96 on time. Enjoy! (I hope there aren't any screaming babies on the flight...)
NEWS:
The JREF is doing away with the million dollar prize.
David Blaine will attempt to break a world record by staying awake for over eleven days straight.
SARMOTI comeback show?
GMG is looking for a toll-free voicemail solution. A cost effective one.
GMG is also looking for a better way to conduct phone interviews. Please don't suggest Skype.
PHOTOSHOP UPDATE: Chris (the guy who sent in the Dual Prophecy ad) has created a Hype-ified image that we like to call Dual Hype. Check it out.
PRODUCT REVIEW: Glenn West's FORGERY.
CONTEST: The FORGERY contest.
One lucky winner will receive a copy of FORGERY. How? By examining the forgery Chris made (the previously mentioned Dual Hype image). We want you to name all of the Hype of the Week items that you spot in the picture. Whoever gets the most right... wins.
RULES:
-Entries must be sent to gmgpodcast@gmail.com and must include the words FORGERY CONTEST plus the NUMBER OF ITEMS YOU IDENTIFIED in the Subject line. For example, if you identified five Hype winners, the subject of your e-mail would be "FORGERY CONTEST 5."
-In the body of the e-mail, you must correctly list the Hype items. Please don't make wild guesses. If you get one wrong, your entry will be disqualified.
-In the event of a tie, or no winners, a winner will be chosen at random via Super Force Glass. (HINT: Super Force Glass was NEVER on Hype of the Week.)
-One entry per person. No cheating. No entering a million times with multiple addresses. We're watching you.
-Entries must be received by 11:59 PM Eastern time on Tuesday, January 15, 2008.
Good luck to all, and thanks to Phil Cox and the gang over at Kind of Magic.
FEEDBACK:
Todd writes In Defense of B.
Scott aka Dezrah struggles with piracy in a local magic club.
Magic John wonders what we should/shouldn't do about Google, Wikipedia, etc.
And, that wraps up the first (and hopefully not final) episode of 2008. We'll be back with another episode as soon as possible, and until then, check out the forums!
