Thats right!

This free e-book offers the serious performer a simple, powerful way to diagram and analyze effects. The result is a refreshing look at the magic you perform every day.

"Stockman diagrams offer an incredibly visual way to quickly understand what's happening with an effect. Penguin was so impressed with the simplicity and power of these diagrams that we've set a goal to add Stockman diagrams to all product descriptions on Penguin by July 2009. We see Stockman's mapping technique as an incredibly powerful tool and we're on board 100%. I hope all Penguin customers will read the e-book." -- Maxwell Murphy, Penguin Magic

Magic Modeling Language (MML) is a way professional magicians can abstractly describe and quantify the dynamics of a magic trick.

By looking past the presentational details of a particular trick, we can compare tricks that are seemingly very different in interesting ways.

Through effect maps, we can quantify elements of magic tricks that are sometimes clouded by presentation. effect maps are one more way that professional magicians can further analyze and refine their performances...

Interesting... It looks like in our reorganizing of the store, some links got messed up. It's not just the link in the forum that brings you to the Colour Changing Deck, the link on the store homepage does as well. We'll try to get this sorted out right away.

Thanks,

it worked for me last nite when I looked at it. It may be your browser if you are using Internet Explorer. I just changed to Fire Fox yesterday and everything works on this site now for me. I will put the link that I have but it's the same one I think.

since I'm posting it as an actual link it may work for you.

I tested the above link and it still works, but I also uploaded it to our server.

Please see initial post.
Thank you,
