The Jinx? Very odd

[canadamagic]

So I have a very interesting story for you guys today.
Last night as I got home I was greeted by a brown envelope. It had nothing but all of my information, half of which I can hardly remember after moving. But no return address, no signature stamp. The stamp was one directly from the post office. Inside was a replica of a magazine called "The Jinx."
Again I have no idea who sent it, all I could find is that (from the stamp zip code) it was sent to me from Maryland...across the continent. I know no one in Maryland, I honestly have no idea where it came from.
I did a little research on the Jinx and came up with this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Annemann
Very weird right?

It is a very interesting magazine and I can't put it down, but never the less. Does anyone know a bit on The Jinx? Has anyone had this happen to them?

It happened to a friend of mine... He got in an "accident" a few days after that. Beware...

The Jinx was a Magic Periodical edited and published by Ted Annemann, also its major contributor, in Waverly, New York.

Jinx started in October 1934 and ran for 151 issues. It's last issue was December 15, 1941 just before Ted committed suicide. Originally put out on a monthly basis, it became a weekly publication in October of 1939.

I also know that Genii Magazine had a special offer that if you subscribe to them they would send you a free copy of the jinx.

All the informaton given here is correct. I hold the Jinx in the highest regard and so do a lot of today's top mentalists.

Yes I remember reading that, the first times he was going to permorfm his effect of catching the bullet indoors. Oddly enough I've also read that subscribers continued to get the magazine post hhis passing. Interesting as he was Theodore himself was the one in charge of the sendings...
