A thousand times this. Very underrated and prolific weekly output. I'm definitely going to buy the THPS book and make a contribution financially to that subscription thing when I can afford it. Never realized he was from Vancouver either until reading this week's edition.

For real. Just diligently updates the thread, puts em out every week, never slacking on the quality.  if someone just read the blog on youtube it'd be huge.

That is too true.

Really appreciate y'all reading the thing and the kind words! I enjoy doing it, so it's nice to know you get a kick out of it, too.

I'm really enjoying the book so far. I like how you set it all up with the prologue. The footnotes seem pretty helpful for a general audience too. I even learned a thing or two from some of them and I'm only halfway through it. Have a great weekend Cole!

Anyone who enjoys reading Simple Magic should get a copy!
