Book #12 in the 52 Weeks Project

Thought Spelling - 3 spectators think of a card, and from a mixed deck they spell to their though of card. The second effect in "Card College" is a though of card being spelled to. Here is a similar effect, done with 3 cards.

Move Two Cards - Remember "Moe's Move a Card" Trick? Here is a version with 2 cards...

You Selected theÑ? - a system to spell to any card in the middle of the deck (impromptu). If you like to perform "The Trick That Cannot Be Explained", this skill is going to come handy.

Lu-BrentÕs Mental Card Mystery (Just Think) - a spectator thinks of any card and writes the name, along with 4 other random cards, in a business card. The magician is able to name the though of card. The method is based on real suggestion.

A Card Sympathy - A "Do As I Do" effect with NO exchange of packs... spectator simply selects a card from a deck, and you select a card from your deck, and they match....

Lu-BrentÕs Reversed Card Location - a very cool, impromptu commercial effect. A spectator selects a card (may sign it) while you step away from the deck. A second spectator selects a card and inserts it reversed in the middle of the deck. Let's say is 6. Six cards are counted and the selected card is found in that exact position.

Lazybones - a two card location, where the first card turns over, then finds the second selected card

Lu-BrentÕs Count Down Mystery - Simplicity itself. The magician is able to name both a selected card at a selected number. Self working, impromptu.

Lu-BrentÕs Matching the Aces - spectator and magician both choose an ace from a 4 aces packet, and they match. A psychological effect.

The Siamese Pack - a clever "modification" to a Svengali Deck. It has potential.

Shark Food - a "magician fooler" effect. The magician performs an effect which seems obviously to use a "key card", yet that method is completely eliminated...

The Coins and Card Mystery - four coins placed on the table, and the spectator deals four cards under each coin. Spectator selects one coin, and the four cards match the date on the coin. Although the effect is very cool, the method probably will need some updating.

Think? ÑStop - the magician is able to deal through a deck and stop at two selected cards... while genuinely blindfolded.

The Suit & Value Coincidence - magician removes 2 cards from the deck and places them in his pockets. A spectator removes any card fr

Guided tour through a difficult work
Format: Paperback
For the non-expert reader of Plato, this is a very good text for working through Timaeus. Actually, it may be useful to expert readers as well, but I wouldn't know about that, being firmly situated in the non-expert camp. Though some scholars may take exception to certain parts of Cornford's translation and interpretation, for those of us trying to get through it for the first time and on our own, this is still an exceptional guide. By the way, for an alternative translation and interpretation, the reader may want to check out Kalkavage's translation (Focus Philosophical Library), it is very good (I would rate it 5 stars also) and has some extremely helpful appendices for understanding references to music, astronomy, and geometry.

Cornford's Plato Cosmology/Timaeus
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent and invaluable reference book for Plato's Timaeus. If you are reading Timaeus you MUST have this book. It contains line-by-line commentary, and also, most valuable, some very helpful illustrations (example: illustration of the human body as Timaeus explained it). I would, however, balance this book with other books that attempt to place Timaeus within the rest of Plato's works. I recommend, for example, Peter Kalkavage's Timaeus. There, he attempts to link Timaeus and Republic.

Plato's dialogue about the physical world
Format: Paperback
The two biggest topics in the Timaeus are astronomy and the elements of bodies, which are constructed using triangles and the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and cube. I would like to see a translation of the Timaeus that uses it as a way to introduce all the astronomy that appears in the dialogue. Introducing the astronomy does not mean just talking in words about spheres or the zodiac or the ecliptic, but actually explaining how these were used by astronomers. Cornford has much to say, but to someone who has not learned any Greek astronomy his commentary will be opaque and hard to use. I didn't know the astronomy well enough to readily understand Cornford's explanations. I plan to learn more classical Greek astronomy, perhaps using Evans' , and then read Waterfield's translation of the Timaeus . Before reading this you should have read the Republic and know some classical Greek natural philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Although Cornford's commentary makes the dialogue staccato, I am glad for it because I wouldn't otherwise have understood much of what Plato says. The Timaeus and the Parmenides are the two dialogues of Plato that one needs commentary to understand; the Parmenides demands the commentary because so much of what is happening depends on the original language, and the Timaeus demands the commentary because of all the things the reader is supposed to be familiar with. The following is a list of topics I kept while reading the dialogue: theory of Forms 27d-28a, 51a-52a; harmonics 35b-36b; time 37c-38e, 39b-e; vision 45b-46c, 67c-68d; space 52b; surfaces 53c; weight 62d-63e; sound 67a-67c; physiology 70c-79e, 80d-86a; antiperistasis 79e-80c.
