From Jeff:

Mahdi Gilbert spent a few months at Conjuring Arts Research Center in New York helping to transcribe historical magic texts into a digital format.

Called the Conjuring Arts Research Center, and told them you were speaking at the Bash. They are very proud of you, just like we are, and they wanted to celebrate with us, too. 

On behalf of the Conjuring Arts Research Center, in honor of Mahdi Gilbert, and in celebration of the Browser's Magic Bash, everyone here has been gifted a digital copy of the project he deemed your favourite - the entire Tarbell Course set!

Thank you Conjuring Arts Research Center, and thank you Mahdi!
