Something New For You

iPhone  /  iPod Touch Magic

If you have either of these devices, you should go to the App Store and check out what's available for your device.  There are a bunch of magic tricks and related apps.

One of the best is "The Rising Card" by Chris Kenner

Any asked for card can be shown to rise out of the deck that is displayed on your phone or touch.  The cost is $2.99 but worth so much more!

Just found a new one.....

Magic, Inc.

While visiting my daughter in Chicago, I had the opportunity to visit Magic, Inc.  Fortunately the shop is only about 5 miles from my daughter's place as Chicago is a hellacious place to drive around in!!  :)  I was warmly greeted by Sandy Marshall (Jay's son), his wife, Susan and one of their sales people, Terrence.   After some general magic chat, Sandy showed my some of the new effects that Magic, Inc. is producing.  Since I'm a big card fan, I immediately bought his two newest effects.  "Pedro's Green Card" and "Marshall's Ten Card Trick".   Both were easy to learn, easy to do and very impressive.

I also added a new trick to my collection of brass pieces.  When I got back to my daughters apartment, I realized there was a piece missing from the package.   I called the shop and spoke to Terrence and asked him to mail it to me as we were leaving for home the next day and we didn't have time to go back to the shop.  Later that evening I received a voice message from Susan Marshall offering to bring the missing piece to my daughter's place but by the time I actually listened to the message we were on our way home to Rochester.  Two days later the missing piece arrived at my home via Priority Mail.  Now that is customer service as it should be!

Many thanks to Sandy, Susan and Terrence for making our visit to Magic, Inc. an enjoyable one!

If you ever get to the Chicago area, be sure to visit them.  Also visit their new website and check out the new effects they are offering.

"The Art of Performance - Empowering Your Helpers"

by Kyle Peron

Dear fellow magicians,

I’m the creator and webmaster of The Magician Directory (www.magician-directory.com). It’s a world wide guide and directory of magicians.

This is a non profit website that I make no money out of whatsoever.  I run it as a hobby and even pay to advertise at the moment out of my own pocket until it becomes better known.

It’s a fairly new site so only has about 100 magicians at the moment, but hopefully it will become the largest definitive resource of magicians in the world.

So may I please ask you to donate a few minutes of your time to register your details on the site in the area of your choice?  It is absolutely free and all I ask is that if you would like to support the site and make it more popular, then add a link back to it from your website if you have one.  Eventually this will become compulsive, but as it’s still fairly new, you do not have to do this.                  

If you do not have the time or resources to do this, then I will gladly enter your details for you taking the information and a picture from your website with your permission, just email back saying it’s ok to do.  (I do not wish to infringe on anyone’s copyrighted material).

Entering your information on the site will help promote both you and your website for the cost of just a few minutes.

Many thanks and kind regards

David
