Low levels of Awareness and Attendance Characterize Creative Arts Events
Abuja, Nigeria. March 3rd, 2015 – A survey commissioned by British Council and conducted by NOIPolls Limited revealed a low level of awareness of creative sector events by Nigerians (both on-going and future) (45 percent), while attendance to such events is even lower (23 percent). The survey results further revealed that most Nigerians (50 percent) learn about events in the sector through word-of-mouth; and given that referrals can only be useful if people attend these events, there is need to by several means, increase attendance at these events. Organizers may need to employ methods such as increased media adverts, reduced cost/barrier of entry, free giveaways, etc. to boost attendance.
More findings from the survey revealed that the majority of the respondents (80 percent) watch movies and listen to music (88 percent); showing more preference for Nollywood movies and Gospel music. An assessment on the use of the internet revealed that over two-thirds (71 percent) of adult Nigerians in the target locations personally use the internet; where most of the respondents mainly use the internet for browsing (77 percent), social media (73 percent), and to check emails (52 percent). The most prevalent means of accessing the internet is through mobile phones (90 percent) and personal computers (40 percent); thus, digital platforms prove to be a viable means of advertising and creating awareness especially for events and organizations in the Creative Industry.
Finally, the use of appropriate art work/displays in public spaces plays an important role in adding social value to a community. About a third of adult Nigerians in the target locations; Abuja, Kano, Lagos and Calabar, disclosed that public spaces are used for creative sector, sports, and religious activities respectively. However, about 1 in 5 respondents disclosed that public spaces are not used for anything, while 1 in 2 respondents (47 percent) revealed that they would like to see more creative sector activities in public spaces in their neighborhoods.
The culture in Nigeria is well demonstrated through the art works produced indigenously. The Nok culture believed to be one of the ancient human settlements in Nigeria produced art that depicted life of the people in this region.[1]The terracotta figures produced – which are characteristic of the Nok culture – flourished from 500 B.C. to 200 A.D.[2] Other art works which became iconic and prominent Nigerian art works include: the Igbo-Ukwu bronzes, metal works of Ile-Ife, wood carvings from Benin and Awka, pottery from Imo and Niger states, to mention but a few.
Besides art works, Nigeria has also gained prominence with her literary works including works from authors such as Ben Okri, Niyi Osundare, chimamanda adichi, Chinua Achebe, and the first African Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka. However, art was not introduced formally into tertiary level curriculum until 1922, which was due to numerous efforts spanning several decades from artists like Aina Onabolu. Several years later art in Nigeria would gain more relevance resulting in the creation of the position of art adviser to the President.
Several universities such as the University of Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello University, and Yaba College of Technology among others helped showcase the image of art with the prolific works of many iconic critics.[3] However over time, art programs in the formal education sector has undergone numerous challenges ranging from merging Art Departments under the Faculty of Environment Sciences and taking a more "scientific" approach to art which is more of a humanistic study, to the dwindling number of art students in universities across the country.
Against this background, NOIPolls conducted the survey on the creative industry in Nigeria on behalf of British Council to assess the nature and behavior of art audiences, the consumption patterns of creative sector products by Nigerians and other such trends.
When Nigerians in the target locations were asked if they have attended any creative sector events or programs in recent times, only 23 percent acknowledged they had attended such events. The majority (77 percent) indicated they have not. A greater proportion of females (81 percent) than males (74 percent) indicated they have not attended creative sector events or programs before.
Of the proportion who disclosed that they have attended a creative sector event, the majority (45 percent) acknowledged attendance to music events or shows. This was followed by those who have attended an event in Theatre (19 percent), Fashion (17 percent) and Film (16 percent). It is also worth noting that this was a multiple response question, meaning that respondents were allowed to select more than one option to the question. Interestingly, the larger share of Calabar residents (45 percent) revealed they have attended a carnival before. This may be due to the Calabar Carnival dubbed "Africa's biggest street party" which holds yearly every December in Calabar.
In addition, at least one in two (50 percent) respondents who have attended an event or program claimed they heard of it by word-of-mouth, indicating that word-of-mouth is the most prevalent way Nigerians who have attended creative sector events heard of such events. Television and Radio were the next two most prevalent means by which people in the target location heard of events in the creative sector, with 37 percent and 20 percent of the population respectively.
When respondents were asked if they watch films/movies, an overwhelming majority (80 percent) of indicated they watch films/movies. However, when the results were analysed be age group, 66 percent of respondents aged 46-60, and 43 percent of respondents aged over 60 years of age acknowledged that they watch movies.
Further analysis revealed that most respondents 68 percent in the target locations watch Nollywood movies, followed by 50 percent who mentioned they watch Hollywood movies, 26 percent indicated they watch Kannywood movies, and 19 percent mentioned they watch Bollywood movies among others.
Furthermore, respondents were asked if they listened to music and findings revealed that more than 8 in 10 respondents (88 percent) in the locations where the surveys were administered acknowledged that they listen to music. However, only 58 percent of respondents over 60 years of age indicated they listen to music. When asked what kind of music they listened to, 58 percent of respondents mentioned Gospel, 37 percent indicated Hip Hop, 17 percent mentioned Rythmn and Blues, and 17 percent mentioned Tribal music among others.
Analysis based on geopolitical zones revealed that while residents in Calabar, Lagos and Abuja have higher preference for gospel music, residents of Kano have a higher preference for 'Tribal music' (45 percent)
In addition, when respondents living in the target locations were asked whether they personally use the internet, 71 percent of them acknowledged that they do. However, only 18 percent of respondents aged 61 and over indicated they personally use the internet. This was the lowest proportion across the age group analysis.
Again, from the proportion that revealed they personally use the internet, 77 percent indicated they use it for browsing, 73 percent for social media, and 52 percent for emails. Browsing, Social media, and Emails were the three most prevalent reasons people cited for using the internet.
To assess the level of knowledge on the use of public spaces , respondents were asked how public spaces were used in the neighborhood where they live and results revealed that the largest proportion (39 percent) indicated public spaces were used for creative sector activities. This was followed by 37 percent who mentioned sports, and 30 percent who indicated religious activity. In addition, 20 percent of respondents mentioned that public spaces in their neighborhoods are not used for anything.
Respondents were further asked, "What kinds of events do you mostly attend in public spaces in your neighborhood?" 28 percent mentioned creative sector activities, followed by 24 percent who said religious activities. 24 percent of respondents disclosed they do not attend events in public spaces in their neighborhoods, while 19 percent indicated they attend sporting events among others events.
When the population who indicated they do not attend events in public spaces in their neighborhoods was further analyzed, it was found that a larger proportion of females (30 percent) than males (18 percent) comprised the group. Also a significant proportion of 18-21 year olds (40 percent) and over 61 year olds (42 percent) indicated they do not attend event in public spaces in their neighborhoods. These were the largest proportions by age group.
In conclusion survey results show that awareness of creative sector events is low, and attendance is even lower. Most Nigerians learn about creative sector events by word-of-mouth, therefore attendance at these events need to be increased if word-of-mouth referrals are to increase. Innovative avenues such as reducing the cost of entry, increasing media adverts, free giveaways at events, etc. should be explored.
Also advertising through social media proves to have a wide outreach especially among young adult Nigerians. This medium has the advantage of providing persuasive textual information such as graphics, pictures, images, etc. which other mediums like word-of-mouth, and radio cannot provide, which should be explored some more as internet usage in Nigeria is about two-thirds.
Lastly, some art works produced locally such as Kannywood (Kano) and Yollywood (Yoruba) movies seem to be consumed more in the regions where they are produced. Measures of cultural cross-overs such as providing subtitles, using multi-lingual actors from other regions, etc. would increase the buy-in and interest of Nigerians from outside these regions, thus encouraging cultural cross-over.
A total of 1,000 adult respondents were randomly selected from a pool of phone-owning Nigerians and interviewed over the telephone for this survey. For the telephone surveys, the sample size was proportionately stratified by gender and age to represent actual population distribution resident in Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Calabar.

Health coverage for All Nigerians: A myth or a possibility?
Nigeria at 52: Living our dream?
Abuja, Nigeria. July 12th, 2016 – The United Kingdom's creative industry is already one of its great strength and rapidly increasing in size and length with her creative size substantially adding to the UK's economy. Also, the Nigerian Creative Industry have arguably been gaining popularity worldwide. Though Nollywood has become world famous, there are huge potentials in the Nigerian music, fashion and art, and Nigeria's fast growing digital landscape is breaking down geographical barriers like never before.
A survey commissioned by British Council and conducted by NOIPolls Limited in 2015 revealed a low level of awareness of creative sector events by Nigerians (45 percent), while attendance to such events was even lower (23 percent). The poll results further revealed that information through 'word of mouth' was very influential in encouraging audiences to attend creative sector events, as revealed by 50 percent of respondents who had attended a creative event after learning about the event through word-of-mouth or referrals.
More findings from the survey revealed that majority of Nigerians (80 percent) watch movies and listen to music (88 percent); while showing more preference for Nollywood movies and Gospel music respectively. An assessment on the use of the internet revealed that over two-thirds (71 percent) of adult Nigerians in the target locations personally use the internet; of which most of the respondents use the internet for browsing (77 percent), social media (73 percent), and to check emails (52 percent).

Finally, the use of appropriate art work/displays in public spaces play an important role in adding social value to a community. About a third of adult Nigerians in the target locations; Abuja, Kano, Lagos and Calabar, disclosed that public spaces are used for creative sector, sports, and religious activities respectively. However, about 1 in 5 respondents disclosed that public spaces are not used for anything, while 1 in 2 respondents (47 percent) revealed that they would like to see more creative sector activities in public spaces in their neighborhoods.
Excerpts of Findings from the creative sector events poll.
When Nigerians in the target locations were asked if they had attended any creative sector event or program in recent times, only 23 percent acknowledged they had attended such events. The majority (77 percent) indicated they had not.
Of the proportion who disclosed that they have attended a creative sector event, the majority (45 percent) acknowledged attendance to music events or shows. This was followed by those who had attended an event in Theatre (19 percent), Fashion (17 percent) and Film (16 percent). It is also worth noting that this was a multiple response question, meaning that respondents were allowed to select more than one option to the question. Interestingly, the larger share of Calabar residents (45 percent) revealed they had attended a carnival. This may be due to the Calabar Carnival dubbed "Africa's biggest street party" which holds yearly every December in Calabar.
In addition, at least one in two (50 percent) respondents who had attended an event or program claimed they heard of it through word-of-mouth, indicating that word-of-mouth was probably the most influential channel at the time through which Nigerians who had attended creative sector events heard of such events. Television and Radio were the next two most prevalent means by which people in the target location heard of events in the creative sector, with 37 percent and 20 percent of the population respectively.

In conclusion survey results show that awareness of creative sector events is low, and attendance is even lower. Most Nigerians who eventually attend creative sector events learn about such events through word-of-mouth, therefore highlighting the importance of making awareness creating and advertising materials as personally engaging as possible to encourage increased referrals and subsequently attendance to creative sector events. Innovative avenues which provide more personal contact with potential audiences through their networks, increasing media adverts, free giveaways at events, etc. can also be explored to encourage attendance. Also advertising through social media proves to have a wide outreach especially among young adult Nigerians. This medium should also be better explored more as internet usage in Nigeria continues to grow.
Lastly, some works produced locally such as Kannywood (Kano) and Yollywood (Yoruba) movies seem to be consumed more in the regions where they are produced.

Sister Wives in Disarray: Where is Everyone Living Right Now?
Remember when Kody Brown wanted to build one large home in Flagstaff, Arizona?
So that his quartet of spouses and their young children could all live under the same roof?
Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?
As of November 2021, Christine Brown had announced she was splitting from her spiritual husband over 25 years, while other family members had also decided they were better off getting separation from Kody as well.
Where does this leave the Browns?
Can we even keep track these days of who lives wherer?
Yes, thanks to various social media posts and updates.
Scroll down for a look at where various Sister Wives and Sister Wives-adjacent loved ones are residing at the moment…
Kody Brown
The father of 18 remains in Flagstaff, minus one spouse… and with no progress of any kind having been made on his property in Coyote Pass.
Meri Brown
She resides in Flagstaff. However, she travels often to Utah in order to keep an eye on her bed and breakfast. And she also travels a lot as her role as a saleswoman for LuLuRoe.

Big lift in million dollar markets
High-value eastern suburbs such as Manly welcomed 54 new Sydney markets into the million dollar club. Photo: Shutterstock
More than 200 Australian locations became million dollar property markets in the last 12 months, as home prices rose at their fastest rate in more than 10 years.
Research from CoreLogic showed 218 new markets laid claim to a median house or unit value of more than $1 million at the end of May, as compared to the same time last year.
Over that 12 months, national property prices grew by 10.6 per cent, the highest growth rate since midway through 2010.
CoreLogic head of research Eliza Owen said the growth in house prices was undoubtedly a key factor in Australia's high levels of consumer confidence, as well as the country's quick economic recovery from the pandemic.
Ms Owen said the current value uplift in Australian housing continued to be extremely broad, with each capital city and rest of state region recording growth in the 12 months to the end of May.
However, while the home value uplift carried a significant number of Australian households into the millionaire's club, Ms Owen said there were also downsides to consider.
"For first homebuyers, who tend to be more price sensitive, higher house prices have likely prevented home ownership," Ms Owen said.
"This is evidenced by the latest ABS finance data, which showed April marking the third consecutive month of decline in finance secured for the purchase or property by this segment.
"Current dwelling values rises have been enabled by record low housing lending rates, which has increased borrowing capacity, and household debt.
"The Council of Financial Regulators in Australia have noted the associated risk with high household debt levels, and will likely be monitoring this closely through the rest of the current upswing."
Ms Owen said 54 of the new million dollar markets were located in Sydney, with 40 per cent of all sales in the Harbour City transacting for at least $1 million.
There are now 340 house and 79 unit markets in Sydney with a median value of $1 million or more, a 25.4 per cent rise since May 2020.
The prestige eastern suburb of Bellevue Hill ranks as Sydney's top market, with a current median house value of $7.62 million.
In regional NSW, there are now 55 markets with a median value of at least $1 million, led by Byron Bay, where the median house price is $2.34 million.
Across the border in Victoria, there are now 192 markets in the million dollar club, with 11 of those located outside of Melbourne.
In May 2020, there were 143 Victorian markets laying claim to million dollar price tags.
Beachside Brighton ranked as Victoria's highest-value market, with a median house price of $3.32 million.
Queensland was the only state to record more growth in million dollar markets outside of its capital, with 25 new markets outside of Brisbane hitting the mark in the 12 months to the end of May, and 22 in Brisbane.
Brisbane's top value suburb was Teneriffe, with a current median of $2.06 million, while Queensland's highest value regional market was Sunshine Beach on the Sunshine Coast, with a median of $1.92 million.
Overall, there are 51 suburbs in Brisbane with a million dollar-plus median, compared to 46 house and unit markets at that price point in regional Queensland.
Perth suburbs valued at more than $1 million rose from 26 at the end of May 2020 to 42 this year, with riverside Dalkeith the market leader with a median house price of $2.83 million.
Yallingup, in Western Australia's South West, was the only regional market on the list, with a median value of $1.25 million.

Video of Dingle and Jennings in their prime?
Discuss your favorite close-up tricks and methods.

Postby erdnasephile » December 9th, 2013, 2:39 pm
One of the great things about the L & L release of the Vernon Revelations series of DVD's is the inclusion of footage of the Professor much younger than what I had ever seen before. In the new footage, he was a bit closer to his prime, and it was interesting to see what difference that made.
I unfortunately missed out on seeing Dingle and Jennings in their prime and I suspect that the current video footage I have on them does not convey them at their very best.
Does anyone know if footage exists of them in their prime? If not, what available videos would you consider to be their best, recorded work?
(PS: As a side note: I am very appreciative many of today's current masters for performing on recorded media at the height of their powers--it's such a privilege to be able to see so many greats that I'll never meet in person).
(PPS: The other close-up legend I would have loved to have seen was Ron Wilson. However, I've not been able to locate any close-up footage of him).
Re: Video of Dingle and Jennings in their prime?
Postby Richard Kaufman » December 9th, 2013, 2:55 pm
Ron Wilson wasn't shot in his prime, which is a pity. He was incredible.
The only decent video of Jennings and Dingle are the so called "Paris Super Sessions" shot by Dominique Duvivier when they were in Paris for his convention in 1995. Don't think they're available any longer on tape and no DVDs have surfaced.
Neither Dingle nor Jennings were comfortable in front of a camera, and all footage really pales when compared to standing in front of them live.

We are very lucky that Joe Stevens captured so many when he did, especially Don Alan doing his full set with breaks.
I know some of the other performers did not shine as they should have done, but at least there is some record of them.

Tannen's Stars of Magic video series is in my opinion, the best Derek Dingle footage available. It was shot around 1985, when Dingle would have been 48 years old. There were six effects on his individual tape and one other (Too Many Cards) on the "All Stars" tape.
The entire original eleven Stars of Magic video tapes were re-released in a boxed dvd set that sells for around $150.
Erdnasephile, If you want it, I have an original VHS tape of Derek Dingle's Stars of Magic session. Just send me your address and it's yours.
Postby erdnasephile » December 10th, 2013, 1:24 pm
Thanks for the leads, everyone! (Q: the Don Alan Steven's session is one of my favorites. I think Joe Stevens also is one of the few (only?) guys to get Weber performing his stuff on tape as well--although one could argue Weber's prime was still to come at that point)
Brad, thanks so much for your kind offer--I very much appreciate it! I'm in the process of dropping VHS tapes, so I think I will take your suggestion instead and hunt down the Stars of Magic DVD's.
Sad that the "Paris Sessions" that Richard refers to never made it to DVD. Can't even find the tapes yet.
IMHO, there are two others who deserve a modern DVD set: Earl Nelson and the late, Barry Price (from what I've heard, that would have been great).

I would love to see these. Do copies exist? I'm sure they must. Someone should put these on youtube.
Here is Dingle doing "Too Many Cards", from the Tannen videos.
Postby Richard Kaufman » December 10th, 2013, 5:36 pm
There is no show called "Magic of Derek Dingle." It's a videotape. Used to have one, with Derek doing his usual material.
Those of you that knew Derek...was it really true he only did about 5 tricks for laypeople?
All that other brilliant stuff, just not used?
The question of who owns a copyright, should a copyright exist, is often not clear. In fact there often is no copyright owner unless it's a professional production with contracts that stipulare what rights belong to who.
It also depends upon who is on the tape, and who owns the rights to use that person's image for terms of commerce.
None of these are simple questions, and often the questions have no clear answer, either morally or legally.
Who is the person? The camera man? The person who got everyone together in the room?
I would say, in your scenario, that each individual who was filmed owns the right to his own image, not just the person who gathered them in the room and promised never to make copies of the tape for anyone but them.

I'm no lawyer, but I asked a similar question of one once. He was under the impression that LEGALLY the person who made the video has the copyright on that 'artifact'. Without that person's permission no copy can be legally made of the video.
if that video were made as a work for hire, the. the person who paid for the video would own the copyright.
there could be further hurdles - those involving the participants' work/image etc, but THAT video is a copyrighted work and cannot be copied without the film owner's permission.

Richard is right that there is often not a single, clearly correct copyright designation, which makes for a good law school exam question far more than practical certainty. As a practical matter, therefore, when copyright is ambiguous like this there is often an effort to assemble everyone with a plausible claim to come to an agreement before something is released. Especially as time passes and various iterations of the copyright statutes are implicated, this uncertain circumstance is more likely. A few years ago I had a case where the "Citizen Kane" copyright was at issue, and while that might seem unlikely to give rise to multiple plausible copyright claims, it did, and there are far more uncertain variables in the Dingle example discussed above.

The link indeed refers to the video's shoot by Dominique Duvivier in 1995. Even if Larry was aging at the time, the trailer gives the impression that his technique was still precise. I came to the same conclusion by watching a Magic Castle performance of Larry that surfaced on YouTube a couple of years ago and was discuss on this very forum.
By the way, Larry also appeared on another much older two video's set, also shoot in Paris by Pierre Meyer in the late '70. Don't think it is available on DVD.

Thank you, Mr. Van Aken.
Here's hoping they release the Dingle Paris footage as well.

TV listings for 10/3/1974:
"Wide World of Entertainment. Dick Cavett has three magicians as guests. Doug Henning is the star of a new Broadway magic musical; Dai Vernon is an older magician; Derek Dingle specializes in sleight of hand."
Barbara Walters' daytime talk show "Not for Women Only" had magicians every day for a week in 1975 (I've seen listings for Jan, Mar and May. dunno if they were reruns, or distributed on different schedules in different markets).
Monday: Doug Henning
Tuesday: Mark Wilson, Randi, Doug Henning
Wednesday: Wilson, Randi, Henning
Thursday: Celeste Evans, Milbourne Christopher
Friday: Derek Dingle
On 21 Oct 1975 (actually, very early on 22 Oct) Doug Henning and Derek Dingle were on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show. It was re-run in June 1976.
Larry Thornton made some footage of Dingle. He was on one of David Frost's shows.
A Derek Dingle quote: "I loathe doing magic for children. I do a lot of standing and they're basicall short."

I wish that Cavett show was available.
Yes. I'd also love to see the Tomorrow Show with Dingle, and also the ones that Snyder did with Ricky Jay/John Scarne/David Copperfield, and with Dai Vernon/Mark Wilson/Walter Gibson.

To Richard -- When Larry Jennings released his "Thoughts on Cards" video in 1994, a special limited edition (signed, 100 copies) included 3 tricks that, as far as I can tell, haven't been released anywhere else (certainly not on the DVD re-release of the tapes): Collectors for Collectors, Culling the Mark, and Thunderstruck. Will these be included in the forthcoming Jennings books?
Postby Richard Kaufman » May 20th, 2015, 12:40 am
Yes they will.
I am also looking forward to finally finding out what the "Iron Boat" was all about.

Erdnasephile, yes this is the Paris tape. You can hear my voice translating Jennings' voice in French as we recorded this.
Postby erdnasephile » May 20th, 2015, 10:48 am
Thank you for your reply, M. Sanvert.
I just ordered the DVD's and I shall look forward to hearing your translation.
Postby Richard Kaufman » May 20th, 2015, 12:00 pm
The Iron Boat has never been published. It's Jennings' original routine using the Pop-Up Move with coins if memory serves.

Richard -- in a 1987 column in Genii you wrote that one of Larry's Pierre Mayer tapes wouldn't be released in America because of threatened law suits from Jeff Busby. Since he died, has their been any move to get it released?
It was released as a tape by Joe Stevens, and then (perhaps) by DVD by Twin Cities.

erdnasephile wrote: Those of you that knew Derek...was it really true he only did about 5 tricks for laypeople?
Yes, it was true. Later in his life, Dingle distilled it down to just 5 tricks. You can read about that in Derek Dingle's Last Notes.:

I thought this was a "best of" selection of tricks from the two Mayer tapes, and was wondering if the Mayer tapes were ever released in full in America.
The contents of the Pierre Mayer tapes are:
Larry Jennings Close Up Part 1
EZ Coins Across
Maestro's Poker Demonstration
Single Cup And Ball
Coin Cut
Prefiguration
3 Coins Thru Table
The Chop Cup
Reverse Card In The Deck
Turn And Take Bottom
One Hand Bottom Palm
The DVD of this material was produced in 2005 by Steven's Magic Emporium and called "Larry Jennings Close Up". The contents are the identical except "The Chop Cup" performance and explanation is not included.
I think the chop cup material was put on this video instead: https://www.stevensmagic.com/shop/class ... -gmvl-dvd/
The Chop Cup routine also shows up in Larry Jennings: A Private Lesson DVD from L & L
Thanks for clearing it up.
Postby Richard Kaufman » May 27th, 2015, 2:22 pm
Jeff Busby made the absurd claim that no one could publish (or put on video) any of Larry's material which appeared in "Larry Jennings on Card and Coin Handling" including any variations by Larry himself!
We took care of that nonsense many decades ago, but when Busby's pal Dave Hardy (an attorney) was alive, he would bombard people with legal cease and desist letters and scare the crap out them. Now they're both dead, and good riddance. They managed to scare Joe Stephens into not releasing Pierre Meyer's second videotape, but Joe still sold it quietly at conventions.
It was later released on DVD, but as noted above, sadly the Chop Cup routine was excluded and put on a different DVD instead, which was a mistake. The DVD should have reflected the content of the original tape.

Ironically, if you look at these DVDs both volume 1 and volume 2 are named "Derek Dingle"!
I can only assume there are Dingle DVDs in the pipeline named "Larry Jennings"?
I'm a living example that if you speak softly, you will get hit by a big stick.
There was only 1 video of Dingle, while there were two of Jennings.

I must have a different mindset from most magicians. I am not necessarily talking about Dingle or Jennings here and I am not going to name any particular people specifically but I am alway baffled by the fact that people who are accepted as legends in the magic community fill me with great indifference when I watch them. I have never figured out what I am supposed to be excited about.
I have seen alleged legends both on video and working live and they leave me flat. I just shrug my shoulders and say "So what?" I just can't figure out what is supposed to be so legendary about them. Sure, their technique is pretty good and they may have devised some wonderful material (although often impractical for laymen) but they seem to have a lot lacking in more important areas.
They often have a startling lack of charisma and exhibit the personality of a dial tone. Magicians are supposed to be colourful people but all too often they are dull and lack presentational skills. Or they go to the other extreme which is just as bad. That is, that they are overloud and excitable. A loud mouthed performer who overpresents and talks too much is just as bad as a meek introvert mumbling away doing colourless card tricks. Yet I constantly see both types represented as superlative performers in the magic community. But they aren't. They are mediocre at worst and adequate at best.
And worst sin of all is that they don't know how to manipulate the people. They can manipulate the props but they can't manipulate the PEOPLE. And magic is people.
I often wonder if my attitude was the same when I first started magic. Perhaps I was more enthusiastic and less jaded than I am now. The trouble is that it was so long ago that I can't remember. The truth of the matter is that watching magic bores me stiff and has done for many, many years.
I love doing it though and will do so at the drop of a hat. Watching it however, is purgatory for me except on very rare occasions.

I ended up getting the Larry Jennings in Paris, France DVD set which was great!
I noticed this today: http://www.mayette.com/produit/derek-di ... ek_dingle/
Anyone know if this DVD is available in the US? I can't seem to find a US dealer that carries it.

November to April brings the best weather, downpours are rare, and there's usually enough sun to get fabulous photographs of the ice, with bright sunshine most days. In March and April, Fall colors are spectacular, as the lenga on upper slopes of the mountains turns scarlet. The majority of the region is closed for winter June to September, when weather makes the area very inhospitable. Bear in mind, though, that weather in Patagonia is completely unpredictable, since the winds coming over the Andes are constantly changing.
Aguas Arriba Lodge set deep in the spectacular heart of Patagonia, overlooks a lake and hanging glacier. With wonderful hosting, just six rooms and accessible only by boat or on foot, it makes a superb base for wilderness hiking, fishing or relaxing.
Aguas Arriba Lodge is a rustic luxury mountain cabin spectacularly set in an area about as remote as you can get in Patagonia, in the midst of unspoiled wilderness at the foot of the Fitzroy ranges.
The lodge is around 37 km away from El Chalten overlooking Lago del Desierto from a sheltered position in the Antarctic beech forest. Its construction was a true labour of love with each item brought in by boat or by foot. Hand-built from natural wood and stone, the lodge offers a stunning portrait of the natural surroundings: an emerald green lake, hanging glaciers, forests and spectacular views of the Fitzroy massif.
The six en-suite bedrooms are spacious and continue the natural feel. Some have lake views, others overlook the Vespignani glacier or the forest, and all come with organic amenities. The main living room has a stone-built fireplace and a balcony with views towards the lake, Mt Fitzroy and the forest. It is a lovely place to come back to and relax with a book or a glass of wine after a day spent exploring the many hiking trails, fishing for trout, mountain biking or kayaking. Once you reach the lodge, your host will be able to advise on which activities are most suitable on a given day.
The cuisine is tasty home-cooked fare served in the dining room which has equally spectacular views as the living area.
All bedrooms can be double or twin. One of the Fitz Roy Suites and two of the Glacier Suites may be configured as triple rooms. The lodge's full capacity is 17 beds.
The two Fitz Roy rooms measure between 20 and 27sqm and boast spectacular views of Mt. Fitz Roy to the north and the Vespignani glacier and Lago del Desierto towards the west.
Each of the three Glacier rooms measures between 17 and 24sqm and can be found on the first floor of the lodge. Views over the Lago del Desierto and Vespignani Glacier can be enjoyed.
Ideally designed to accommodate families, the two Forest Rooms are adjoined by an interior door. The second bedroom, which can be both single or double, can be used as a separate living space if preferred.
Aguas Arriba is located about 1.5 hours down a bumpy dirt road from El Chalten. Then staff will meet you at the pier for a 10 minute motorized boat ride to the lodge. Pato and her husband Ivor are welcoming and friendly people! Even for my one night stay there, I felt like they went out of their way to make sure my stay was perfect. The weather was not great the first day I arrived so I hung out at the lodge. There is no wifi or tv's so it really is a place to go if you want to unplug for a while. The view from the lodge is stunning as you can see a glacier on top of a mountain directly in front. The Fitz Roy is visible from the lodge on a clear day. You can choose from a variety of different walks and hikes to do around the property. Guests can also go fishing or go for a boat ride. The activities can be decided the day of. Food was delicious homemade food. They made an abundance of it, I felt bad for not eating it all. It has such a homey and cozy place.
El Calafate is a 3-hour flight from Buenos Aires. From here it is approximately a 3-hour 30-minute drive to Lago Desierto, where you can choose to take a boat to the lodge (approximately 15 minutes) or hike in (approximately 3 hours).

That's 780 months of marriage… Or 23,725 days!!! Wow-zers!!!
And the thing is – they really love each other. Still… 65 years later. They Love.
Nope. They chose humility, selflessness, teach-ability, willingness, trust, respect, hard work, dedication, commitment and they chose to grow… together.
They met when they were 5 years old, my Grandpa would ride his horse thru wind, snow and rain to visit his one true love, they married at age 19 and now they drive a Lexus with a license plate that says "HAD2BU". They began their journey as best friends… and still are.
One of the foundations of a Marriage must be Friendship. Marriage as Mates.
I am so grateful that P.A. is my B.F.F., my Bestie, my Mate! We kicked it off that way. We met working together at a Christian bookstore ~ Mardel. The first time I saw P.A. I laughed at him. I made fun of his outfit (because he was totally overdressed for his interview) and teased him about his cologne (because it was waaaayyyy too strong). He was cool with all of this. We loved laughing together, and could laugh at ourselves – *bonus*! We loved hanging out together and talking for hours, and on our lunch breaks, after work, on the phone, any chance we could get. And it hasn't changed… much. Now we have to usually talk over the needs of the wee Babs, or save all of our conversation up until the evening time. But we talk. We go crazy if we haven't talked enough. A friendship breeds on conversation. True, deep, authentic conversation. We love being mates who talk.
And we laugh. Still we laugh at each other and at ourselves. We laugh thru the difficult times of pain, hurt, sorrows and screaming wee Babs. We laugh at life when it is hilarious and those times when it's not so hilarious. We love being mates who laugh.
P.A. and I are blessed to have (almost) 15 years of marriage under our belts. Our hobbies and interests (not Pinterests) are also similar. Since we met, we have truly enjoyed each others company. We have traveled throughout the US, Europe, and India. We dream of traveling more. We love dreaming together. We love being together. We both enjoy being outdoors, staying active, keeping fit, eating healthy, reading, drinking coffee, watching the same goofy PBS documentaries, cooking shows, and movies. And most of all, at the center of our friendship, is our friendship with Jesus. He's the foundation of our friendship foundation.
Here we are in 1996 – back in the diz-ay – when our friendship first began.
Is everyday is a sunshine fairytale? Do we agree on everything? Do we laugh every second of the day? No. But sometimes we do think, this is too good to be true. Because it is. There is nothing better than being married to my mate. Even when it is difficult. There are so many people, places and things that can divide a marriage. I believe if a marriage begins with two mates, there is a stronger foundation at the core of that marriage. Like my Grandparents, my parents and P.A.'s parents, we have chosen humility, selflessness, teach-ability, willingness, trust, respect, hard work, dedication and commitment.
We have chosen to grow… together.
I am grateful that on in August of 2012 we will celebrate 15 years of marriage. And I am hopeful that in August of 2062, we will celebrate 65 years!
I love being married to my mate.
Are you Mates in your Marriage? I hope and pray so.

El botet és un petit instrument dels anomenats de reclam, de buf mecànic, molt més rudimentari que els reclams de xeremia eivissenc i elaborat artesanalment per la gent del camp. S'utilitza per atreure les guatlles que sobrevolen les messes fins a un parany prèviament preparat. Es tracta d'un petit os de conill o de colomí, a l'extrem del qual hi ha una bossa llarga i prima, com els didals que empren els segadors per no tallar-se amb la falç. En prémer el botet d'una manera especial, aquest produeix un so que imita el cant de la guatlla mascle. Aleshores les femelles, tan bon punt el senten, creient que les criden, deixen el niu, construït arran de terra, entre les espigues, per encaminar-se, atretes pel fals crit, cap al filet de xarxa, de forma quadrangular, d'on prové el so del botet i en el qual s'enreden.

We would like to thank all of our customers for their comments. And we greatly appreciate your business.
We have had an interesting five years in which we have had to move several times. We have used two other movers and finally on our last and final move into our newly purchased home we were referred to "About The Move - Moving and Storage" by a Building Superintendent of our subdivision. I mention the afore because in contrast to our experiences with other movers, About The Move is the absolute best. The referring Superintendent said this was the only company she would recommend and now I understand. If you need movers these are the best of the best. There prices were reasonable, and their movers were professional, fast, careful, courteous and diligent. We even had a piano to move and there was no damage to any of our furniture. This was the most orderly, seamless and enjoyable move I have yet to experience. A+ and thanks to all the staff of About The Move. If you need movers, this is "The" company.
Did a wonderful job!!! The moving staff worked quickly and efficiently and were very nice and polite to work with. A job that I was dreading was made very pleasant by About the Move. We were moved from Gulf Shores, AL to Gulfport, MS. I am glad that I found this company and would definitely use them again. Thanks!!!
They are awesome, they moved me from Alabama to Texas with no pressure. That made my move so peaceful and stress free.
The Crew at About the Move did and Excellent job moving us & all of our personal items! In this day and age it?s great to know a company cares that much about their customers ?highly recommend?
About The Move handled my whole household as if they owned it themselves. I highly recommend them for long distance moves. The employees are courteous, polite, professional, I will be using them again on my next move. Thanks About The Move.
Handled our belongings like it was their own, proffedionally packed, wrapped and delivered, I highly recommend Tammy/Josh and About The Move for any moving services you may need.
Very polite, courteous & professional. Guys were on time and very respectful. Would recommend them highly.
Handled pretty well. used them for out of state moving. Friendly, responsible and fast.
Excellent. Movers were so polite, efficient, and fast in all aspects of the move. Not one item was scratched, dented, or broken!! Even moved a couple of pieces of furniture to different room when I changed my mind about location. I would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a move. Tammy (scheduler) was such a joy to work with on the scheduling. She even arranged to move date up one day because of rain. Will definitely use them again.
The guys were great , they very kind and courteous.
reasonably short period of time. We will definitely use them again.
Accurate estimate. On time. Very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!!!
We had a two phase, out of state move that took all day. The gentlemen that moved us were careful, efficient, and easy to work with. We will be recommending About The Move. Great job!
Rob, Hunter and Mark were absolutely great. Moved me from Savannah, TN to Hixson, TN, north Chattanooga. By far the smoothest move I have ever had. Cannot say enough good things about them and for Josh who coordinated the whole move. Would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.
Rob and Daniel moved our household furniture and goods from Starkville,, Ms. to Tupelo, Ms today. They were professional, courteous, and very respectful of our belongings. They were working to please US in every way from the time they arrived until the handshake and best wishes at the end of the day. Everything was wrapped with care and arrived in perfect condition. Items were distributed in our new home per our request. They worked very efficiently as a team. I would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a move.
P.S. Josh, our initial contact was quick to respond to all of our questions.
Very good job. Guys were very pleasant and friendly. One was even ill that day but still got it done. No damage to any furniture!!!!!
They were very nice and respectful They were on time and moved my items in a very reasonable amount of time. Very professional.
Great job. Frank & Cody were professional all the way... fast and friendly.
Excellent, courteous workers. They finished unloading two 28 foot trailers with 15 minutes to spare. They were very good at asking where to put things and handled everything with care.
Excellent job! Arrived at scheduled time. Friendly and polite employees. Very professional in moving our piano.
I found About The Move on Home Advisor. I was very impressed by the fact that Josh called me immediately after I entered my online request for an estimate. We hired About The Move to move several pieces of furniture from Oxford Al to Irondale Alabama. One of the pieces was a large fragile antique oak secretary with two mirrors and a leaded glass panel. Two of the other pieces were solid wood dresser and chest on chest. All of this was very heavy. Additionally, before the pieces could be moved into the house, two pieces had to be moved out of the space where these pieces were going. The About The Move Moving Team (Frank and Robbie) did a fantastic job of wrapping all of the furniture securely in heavy blankets, loading them onto the truck, following us home, and unloading the pieces after moving the existing pieces to their new place in the home. The movers worked efficiently as a team, taking care to place the furniture exactly where I wanted it. They were polite, professional, and did a wonderful job of moving some very heavy furniture without a scratch. The price was actually less than the estimated price. I recommend About The Move enthusiastically!
Mine was a two stage move: House to Apartment while our new house was being built and later Apartment to new house. Some of our stuff was in the Apartment while some in storage provided by "About the Move". Josh, Frank and Rob came in, assessed the situation and gave us a fair quote to do the job. On the days of the move, the crew did a great job packing and moving the kit and later delivering the material we had in storage. Everything was meticulously unloaded with caution taken not to damage the furniture or the new house (walls, floors, etc) while they placed the furniture and boxes exactly where we wanted. Any damage, and there wasn't much, was immediately identified by the crew. I would definitely recommend "About the Move" to anyone moving.
I called them at the last minute and they adjusted their schedule and did the move on a Sunday. They took extra good care in protecting each piece before the move.
I had four (4) movers with two (2) trucks to move my belongings about 20 miles. They worked very hard and did a great job. I had some large items, even a very heavy piano, and my movers did not shy away from anything. My antique furniture was packed securely, and everything appears to be in great condition. My price was less than the estimate given to me, so I was well pleased with that aspect. This company was recommended to me by three (3) local people who used them. I too overwhelmingly give them the highest rating and would use them again. Thanks guys!!
We hired them for a long distance move (Starkville, MS to Boulder, CO) and they did an excellent job. They were quick to load-up and unload our belongings and treated them carefully. They were responsive in our email and phone correspondence and very accommodating. The crew was professional, timely, friendly, and provided strong communication throughout the process. We were very impressed with their work. Highly recommended!
Excellent. This is my second long distance move in as many years and these guys were top notch. Picked up and delivered 9 hours away the next day. Friendly and hard working guys would use them again in a heartbeat.
The employees were nice, friendly and courteous. They behaved in a professional manner and moved our furniture and accessories quickly and without incident. Because the house we were buying wasn't available yet, we had to put our furniture in storage and then move it out again. So they moved us twice! If I had to move again I would choose this company. Their rate was good and their work outstanding.
Great. Easiest move I have ever had. Have recommend you to others.
Corey and Frank were Awesome! They worked hard and knew exactly what they were doing. They went the extra mile to protect our furniture. We will definitely use their services again!
Would definitely recommend. They were amazing. Very cooperative and most willing to please.
Excellent. Frank and the other 3 guys put in a hard, full day. Thanks!
They left one fifth of the materials in the house we moved from and still charged about $1000 over the estimates. So they overcharged and still did not finish. They damaged an antique because they ran out of blankets. They damaged another antique by improperly putting screws through the top. They called the boss about the damage and he told them he would call us the next day. He did not. When I called him he offered no solutions. Two additional emails have not helped.
They did a great job of packing China .
We had two estimates and they exceeded both and did not finish the job. I had to rent a 26 foot truck and two helpers to load over half a truck.
Was impressive. They worked quickly. I highly recommend them!
Frank and crew did an excellent job. They were very careful and deliberate with our possessions. They arrived on time. The price was exactly as quoted. I have already recommended then to an acquaintance.
Courteous and professional staff. No major issues. The actual cost was significantly higher than their estimate. They did a good job of wrapping most of our stuff. But, a tear in the arm of our couch was supposed to be repaired. 4+ months later and I'm tired of waiting.
Took a bit longer than anticipated but they did a good job!
On time, efficient move. We have used them twice and would do so again.
Frank and crew did a fantastic job. Efficient and careful! Would use them again.
A fantastic job. Courteous, efficient and took excellent care of my belongings. I have already given your number to several co-workers. Thank you for all that you did.
We called several people who advised they could just do fit our schedule but recco'd About. Great to work with - CALLED back!!! Excellent customer service and care with moving Mom's items. Small job but they did it as if a large one.
The gentlemen were very helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. I also appreciate them for coming to help on short notice. I would recommend them and/or call them again if I need help.
I would recommend this moving company. They were professional, courteous and time conscious. I am pleased with there service. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone needing to move.
My family has used About the Move twice, and the team was wonderful both times. I could not be happier with my move. The team went above and beyond to ensure that my stuff was safe and exactly where I wanted it to be once moved.Their level of professionalism was evident in the friendly and competent way they talked to my family and me. I would recommend them to anyone as their level of service was excellent and their prices by far beat other companies that we got quotes from.
Great guys. Our move involved a piano as well as our other furniture. Great job and efficient, friendly, hard working guys. Will use again when our new house is finished.
Outstanding, professional. Made the move so much easier for us. Did a great job. Best price we could find. Would definitely use them again!
Josh and his crew were professional and affordable. They made the most challenging move our best! Thanks for everything!! You have 5 stars from us for sure.
I have used many moving companies and 'About the Move' is by far the best. Not only the best price, but the best service. Frank, Rob, Carlos, and Eric treat your stuff like their own. Very hard-working and friendly movers. Moving is not easy, but Josh makes sure you have a comfortable and stress-free experience. I will definitely use this company again and recommend you do as well.
These guys were great! Very professional, polite,and respectful all the way to the end.
We give About the Move a ten and then some. They were efficient, polite, and did whatever we asked them to do without questioning or complaining. We have moved a lot with big major companies and none were as good. Bigger is not always better. We highly recommend them.
Great move from Sheffield Al. to Gulfport Ms. Frank and Rob were very courteous and hard working. Both helped us in anyway they could, it was much appreciated. Thanks for an easy move.
The guys moved us from Alabama to Louisiana. They worked hard and fast and they did it at a very reasonable price. They made our move to another state a great experience. I will definitely use them again. I will most definitely recommend them.
Very friendly, hard working. Moved a large air hockey table and had installed in less than an hour.
Great !!! Good people ! They do what they say ! Honest and very reliable! I will always use them and highly recommend them to anyone!
The two young men were very professional, courteous and hard working. I trusted them with all my parents belongings when they moved.
Josh and his two men were great to deal with in moving an antique upright piano which was very heavy! They were professional, pleasant, very efficient. My only negative comment is they were 30 minutes later than the time I expected BUT they worked so quickly it was not an issue. Definitely will use them again.
Great guys, great service. I had a difficult project with some hi-tech, heavy equipment and was impressed at how smoothly everything went. I look forward to working with them again next time I move it!
Thank you so much for your excellent service and assistance moving my mothers belongings last week. The gentlemen who unpacked the truck were truly helpful, kind and considerate.I had some issues with the distance from trailer to apartment building and they quickly helped me problem solve as weather was turning colder and a winter storm was approaching. I appreciated their help and patience more than i can express. Highest regards for customer service.
I called in the morning for unloading services and Josh was able to get me a crew for the afternoon from employees who were off that day- Rob and Cody. They showed up on time and worked hard doing whatever was needed. Very good experience.
Yours movers were exceptional. Very kind & helpful. They were very careful with my furniture and went beyond helping me have a successful move.
Couldn't have asked for anything more! Best group of guys I've ever worked with! They treated my furniture as if it were theirs. Will DEFINITELY use them again!
Highly recommended. Professional and hard working.
Service was of the upmost quality. They surpassed my expectations of care, packing, padding, and carrying my furniture. The two moving associates were very courteous and respectful to me as a customer. They asked questions for complete direction of my wishes of placement and care for my furniture. I was very impressed. This is the second time I am patronizing About The Move and dealing with Josh. The quality of work and service is just as wonderful as the first time.
I made a good choice when I chose you all to move me. You were all very helpful. I will highly recommend you to other people, I am very happy with the move. All your workers were terrific. I give them all A+. Thank you so very much!!
They were AWESOME, pleasant, flexible, professional, and hard working.
We moved a medical office from a location we had been at for 17 years, these guys did an outstanding job moving our equipment, furniture, charts and everything else in our office, they were very professional, and efficient. They beat the other estimates I got by $500+ I would use them again and have already recommended them to a few fellow physicians who are relocating in the near future.
Very pleased with careful packing and care of our belongings. Buddy L. and his helper were very pleasant and helpful. Good pricing. Best move I've ever had and there have been dozens. Definitely will use again.
Ben and Cody were awesome!! On time and very professional!! Definitely will use them again!!
Thank u for having ur guys move me so quickly! They did a great job! And they were very patient with me. Please tell them thank u again and I will definitely call if I ever need To move again and will definitely pass ur name along to others.
Cannot say enough great things about the two guys we had come out. Bo and Ben were phenominal!
Our moving helpers were great! They were friendly and hard working. They completed the job on time and with minimal supervision which was so helpful since it allowed us to continue packing & cleaning.
Thank you Josh. They did a wonderful job. We will recommend you to anyone we know that needs movers.
This is the best moving company with really reasonable price and also the two guys who did our moving was the best workers with the friendly service and their name were BEN and JOSH.
Thanks a lot guys highly appreciated from Kiran and Ravi both.
They did a great job. They were friendly, arrived on time, and worked hard.
Seth and his coworker was very professional. Also very polite and hard working. I will surely use your company for any future moves.
The men worked non-stop for three hours, using care to protect our property and good judgment about the arrangement of items on the truck. We would use them again in a heartbeat. Excellent service!
I had a GREAT experience with About the Move! They were very efficient, quick, and professional! They took excellent care of my belongings and packed everything neatly and safely. I HIGHLY recommend using them for any kind of move you have!
Thank you for helping us make our move easier. The men done a great job. Would recommend and would use this company again. ThAnks again.
I HIGHLY recommend using About The Move for all your moving needs! They are very professional, efficient, and affordable! I couldn't be more pleased with their service! Thanks for the recommendation Sherry Barnes!
Thank you ABOUT THE MOVE for getting me officially moved to Birmingham! You guys are amazing!
Thank you Josh! Your guys did a great job! On time and hustled throughout the day! All furniture delivered without any mishaps, Your crew was very respectful too! Thanks again!
Thank you both for all of your help! This move would have been much less smooth without the help of About the Move.
I had the pleasure of using About The Move yesterday and was very impressed. The work was steady and fast. Local connection. I recommend this business for great work and quick response. I had called other movers, with calls returned the next day. Josh responded within the hour.
Very professional and wrapped our furniture , respected our belongings . Thank you Josh and other mover. I would highly recommend to my friends. Thanks so much for making my move easy.
We have moved many times and have used several of the movers in North Alabama but we have always had some sort of problem UNTIL we used ABOUT THE MOVE. We are absolutely 100% satisfied with our across the state move. They are efficient, professional, fast and hard working. We will definitely use them in the future!! So happy that there is a quality moving company in North Alabama.
These guys saved the day!!! We called less than 24 hours before we needed help and they drove 3 hours (total) just to unload our 26' U-Haul. The process was seamless! You can tell "About the Move" has been doing this a long time because there were no hiccups. The movers came exactly on time and after unloading the truck, they continued to help. We highly recommend this company. I would also recommend to stop shopping around for lowest price. They blow anyone out of the water. This team was a gem..we were so lucky to get such great quality and customer service for a fraction of the cost compared to others. Thank you SO very much "About the Move"..we will keep you in mind again on the future!!!
Josh and his team did an outstanding job moving my family's two bed-room apartment from Birmingham to Atlanta. Josh and his team were very professional and fast. I would definitely suggest that you use them for all your moving needs.
Wonderful job! I was very pleased! Very friendly and very professional! I'll recommend them to anyone! Cheap an affordable! I'll for sure use them again if I move anymore!
About the Move was very professional, and did an excellent job moving all of our belongings. The guys were very diligently, but at the same time was very careful with our items.
The service was done in a very safe way, and I could not stop telling people how nice the workers were for us. We appreciate the care that was obviously taken in loading and unloading all our things. Also, the price of the service was unbeatable.
arrived on time; great job!
The service was good. Would definitely use About the Move if we move again. Very reasonable prices.
Great job, guys!! I so appreciate the extra care you took with a VERY old piano : ) Josh and his team were polite, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for us. We will definitely be recommending them to friends and use them ourselves in the future. Thanks!
Josh and his team did a great job! Best moving experience ever. They arrived on time and moved everything to our new office quickly and without any damage to our furnishings.
About The Move was the best quote we received for our move. We will only use About The Move from now on.
We have moved using professional movers in this area 3 times and About the Move was by far the best we have dealt with. They were fast, efficient and completely affordable. We didn't have one item damaged. These guys are great to work with and we will use them anytime we need movers in the future. I highly recommend this company! A super big thanks to you guys!!
I inherited a piano and had to move it in one weekend. A few friends and I could not handle it at all.I found these guys online they were able to fit me in the very next day and get it done fast and without a scratch.and at a much better deal than I could find anywhere else.
Amazing! And great communication also. Will definitely use again!
A SPECIAL THANKS to ABOUT THE MOVE for moving my gym equipment to the new house for me. They moved a Marcy Machine, hundreds of pounds of weights, an elliptical, a treadmill, exercise bike, & an ab doer. They moved them down the stairs without tearing anything up. They were careful, polite, honest, & very efficient. They made it look easy, but it was a tough job. I have had clients brag about how Great this moving company is. I had to give them a try. I am so glad I did. If you need movers you should consider them. I was very impressed. THANKS About-the Move I hope to need your services again in the near future when my house sells.
Great, I was dreading having to do the move myself. My wife found this company that was highly recommend.
Thank you so much for moving all of our stuff!!! I am very grateful for all of your help!!!! Y'all worked hard threw the rain and even had to miss church Sunday night, but god will bless you and your family for being so good to others!!!! Great job guys!!!!!
Very quick and professional, took care of all my furniture/equipment. They would have set up my furniture completely but I was pushed for time and asked them not to. Full service movers-great job!
About the Move did a great job! They moved all our big and heavy stuff in the time frame that we asked. They are great guys. Very friendly and hard working! We would use them again!
Josh and his team are professional and made our move very easy. He provided the materials we needed ahead of time so moving day went smoothly. The moving team worked hard and were efficient. We will use About the Move again when we move from storage into our home.
Very pleased with professional service e of About the Move. Communicated well and best of all followed through.
Josh and his crew provided a long distance move for me with the utmost professionalism and care.
Excellent job. On time and super efficient.
Professional, courteous staff. Worked hard. Punctual. Handled items carefully. Good attitude, respectful. Gave pricing information accurately. Would definitely use again.
Great job by the team. They were prompt and professional. They arrived on time, took care of the items, and completed the move within the quoted time and cost. Well done!
Excellent job! They got the job done in a timely manner and very professional. It was a hot July afternoon in Mississippi and that didn't slow them down! Highly recommend them! Excellent!!
Late on a Saturday night, loaded the truck on Sunday and had us unloaded by Tuesday afternoon.
They were a little rough with some boxes but only a couple of inconsequential things were broken.
Josh and his worker were extremely helpful to us in our recent move. First of all, he beat a competitor's price by a whopping $200.00. Our furniture didn't have a scratch on it. They were very eager to set up like we wanted it. I hope I don't have to move again, but if I do, I will call Josh!
The 4 guys from About the Move were beyond professional. We had 3 - 26ft trucks to load and these guys decimated their estimated time frame for loading. Even when the bottom fell out of the sky, these guys just kept on loading. I very much appreciate Josh and his team for makeing this a save and less stressful move. The reason for the 4 stars is due to a scheduling conflict about unloading timeframe, arriving too early. And to a slight discrepancy between estimated cost and actual cost of services.
The guys were great. They were on time and started working right away. They loaded all of our things quickly and efficiently, They treated everything with care. We would definitely do business with Josh again if the need should arise.
On time. Worked quickly. Finished in less time than expected.
The movers were great! They were on time n treated my belongings with proper care. Would recommend for sure!
On time as promised! Very professional, exceeded all of my expectation. Handled my treasures with respect. I would highly recommend!
On time and on budget! Josh and his crew took good care of all my stuff, no nicks, no scratches, they treaded my stuff like it was their own.
Very professional. Unloaded the truck so quick that there was time left to help set. Would use them again.
About the Move is a professional moving company that moved our family from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa. The positive experience began when they arrived on time as scheduled. The men immediately got to work not wasting a minute of their or my time. I will be using this company again for our move in the future!
They were very informative, courteous and efficient.
Josh and his men moved us from Hampton, Ga. to Haleyville with exceptional service. They arrived Saturday AM and we were in Alabama late that pm. Will recommend About The Move to anyone. Many thanks to a great group of guys.
The About the Move team performed efficiently, effectively, and professionally for the whole time from the first request for information to when they left our new house. Highly recommend!
Jesse, Buddy and Cody were hard working and very careful. Friendly, easygoing and great to work with. We will be using them again on the second half of our move.
The two guys were very professional. They worked hard and did everything to my satisfaction. I would recommend them to anyone.
Moved my Baby Grand Piano and did a great job. Amazing. Thank you do much.
The guys worked very good together. They were very professional! Thanks again.
Outstanding. Very professional. Came on time. Moved the furniture and other boxes without a scratch. Also they were very fast and efficient. Will recommend them to all my friends. I wish i had known about their complete move package which includes the truck and personnel. Will use them for my future moves.
Very respectful and diligent in their tasks.
The guys were great and got our whole house loaded efficiently and quickly. I would highly recommend. Couldn't ask for better. Great service for a very reasonable price.
Josh and company arrived right on time and immediately assessed the contents and began loading. The entire move was very smooth and uneventful. The best kind.
These guys were great - we could not have done it without them!
These guys were first rate. Excellent attitudes. Real "can do" workers.
We needed some last minute help to unload a couple of trucks packed full of things! I gave "ABOUT THE MOVE" a call. Josh and his crew was very professional and very hard workers! They handled our personal items like it was their own. I would very highly recommend these guys for anyone that needs to be moved and relocated or just need help unloading. It's really good that you can rely on these professionals in a time of need. I'm definitely going to use them again in the near future! Leave it to the PROS, hands down!!!!!! Thanks Josh and thank you for your Guys hard work today!!!
My husband and I were very pleased with the punctuality of the team from About the Move. Josh, Buddy and Tyler were very respectful and consequently very respectable. Each of them took great care with our furniture. We even had the opportunity to purchase mattress protectors, which was of great importance to us. We appreciated that there were no surprises for hidden costs. Everything remained the same from our initial contact with Josh. Thank you, again, guys!
Were both very efficient and careful with all of my belongings.
I must start off with that they are defiantly the best/quickest movers around.I had them move me two different times and they always did it either the day I called or the exact day and time I needed them.They are very professional and great at what they do.They did not damage any of my belongings. AND tI top it off very kind and plus very affordable. Ifor I ever move ANYWHERE again they are the guys to call.Thank you so so much!!!!
About the Move moving company has been such a blessing to us. They were courteous, kind and professional. They took excellent care of the piano that they delivered for us.They wrapped it and moved it with care. I would recommend this company to anyone who is considering a move. Thank You to Josh and the crew at About the Move for your excellent service.
If any of y'all need to move in the near future, no matter how big or how far, call Josh at About-the Move and you'll get A-1 service. He moved a warehouse for me today and is about to move us into another house. They get it done!
About the Move did a wonderful job packing up and unloading our things. Any problems that arose were taken care of immediately and to our satisfaction. Company owner personally handled our job and took great care of us. They were always on time (early) and worked until the job was done.
Josh and buddy arrived on time. The unloading was very smooth. They were friendly and really enjoyed what they were doing. I am an immature truck driver, they helped me with unhooking and hooking the autotransport, parking u-haul truck. I would take their help in the future.
Outstanding attitude and took great care of my furniture. Very professional and I have moved with some very well known companies and Josh at About the Move and his crew will be my choice for any future move. I have a grand piano that is a challenge and Josh and his guys knew exactly what to do. They use their brain as well as their muscle. They never complained when I changed my mind about location of a piece a time or two. They were on time, clean and no one smoked. I enthusiastically recommend Josh and the crew at About the Move. Definitely the choice for anyone in the Shoals area vs the local choices.
They moved my Mom and Dad in Jasper couldnt ask for better job!!!!!! They were great!!!
These guys were early, fast, clean and professional. Couldn't have asked for better service.
Josh & his team did an excellent job for us. We rented a truck and they loaded/unloaded for us. Communication before the move was excellent. They moved quickly in loading everything and the contents in the truck were secure and safe. We came out with no scratches or any issues at all. I'm pretty sure that I would've run out of room in the truck if I had done it myself after seeing how efficiently they used the space.
In hindsight I would have rather had them do my entire move rather than using a truck rented from another company. I highly recommend About The Move and will recommend them to all of my friends and family.
The owner of About the Move - Josh Williams is an awesome individual! Not only is he professional, he is also polite, kind,helpful and an outstanding young man. I came across his business while looking for movers to help my daughter move. His prices beat all the competition, they showed up on time and ready to work, made every effort to treat all items as if he were moving his own things. I cannot say enough good things about this business or the owner and his helper. I pray that God continues to Bless him, his family and his business.
These men did a great job!! I would recommend them to anyone that needs anything moved. Very professional, friendly and FAST!
Did a great job. Will use them again in the future! Outstanding!
Outstanding! Arrived 10 minutes early in preparation for the move. Introduced to all workers. Professional and very cautious with boxes and moving through house and out the door.
Most impressed with Josh's initiative to seek opportunities to help potential movers.
They worked very hard and were very fast. We move alot so I will be using them again.
Great. Glad I didn't have to move that piano.
Excellent, Josh was driving by as we were unloading the U-haul, asked if he could provide this service, he was there early the next morning. Excellent job!!
You guys were awesome! Punctual, friendly, professional, clean appearances, hard working! No hidden fees or tricks. Josh and Buddy were great to work with. They worked hard and didn't stop until all of our stuff was packed in the truck. They used their expertise to rearrange things when it looked like not everything would fit--they made it work! They also was able to recommend a team on the other end of our move to help us unload when we got there! Thank you so much for helping us with this last part of our move! You guys rock!
"Thank you for such a great job on getting us moved from Florence to Scottsboro. It is good to find a mover that shows up on time, takes pride in their job and charges fair prices. Good Job and Well Done.
"The mover's showed up on time and were very polite. They made my two story move seem like it was so easy, and got it done without any problems or any damage. Thank you About the Move your service was very valuable".
