Leave a Comment!New Products For October
admin | 6:54 pm | October 4, 2008 | Latest Magic Tricks
October has seen the introduction of a few cutting edge magic tricks. We’ve managed to get demo videos for each of them too.
We’ve also got a couple of extra bits and bobs too…
The Prophecy - Peter EgginkI’ve never seen a card-to-impossible-location trick quite like this before. At least not until now. The magician basically chooses a prediction card and leaves it on display the whole time. The spectator chooses and signs a random card chosen from the deck. The magician then shows the prediction card to the spectator. Not only does it match the signed chosen card, it IS the signed chosen card! which the magician can then hand out as a souvenir.
The Disappearance - Jay Sankey
This is a nice, different magic/mentalism effect with a sheet of acetate. The spectator chooses a random card which then appears on the sheet of acetate. nly there is a number of card faces on the acetate. The spectator holds the sheet of acetate between their hands. Moments later, their chosen card disappears from the deck. When they check the acetate, which has been between their hands the whole time, the image of the chosen card has disappeared from that too!
Club Sandwich - Andrew Normansell
Club sandwich is a classic effect where the spectators chosen card is lost in the deck, only to magically appear between two jokers. This feat is repeated again to the delight of the baffled spectators.
Ghost Vision - Andrew MayneThis is one powerful effect. You borrow a camera phone and start recording a video. To the horror of the spectators, ghostly visions appear on the screen. This DVD also teaches how you to make predictions mysteriously appear in photos taken with the camera.
Tragic Royalty - Bicycle Playing Cards
Check out these cool gothic bicycle cards. They are a nice ghoulish twist on the traditional bicycle theme. They even illuminate under UV light! perfect for performing in nightclubs etc.
Jumbo Invisible DeckEveryone knows that the magicians best friend is the invisible deck. It can save you out of trick situations and ‘balls ups’, plus the effect is absolutely astounding. Well, now you can use the wonders of the invisible deck on stage, for the visually impaired or to add a chunky touch to performing for kids etc.

admin | 3:38 pm | September 26, 2008 | news
David Blaine has completed his 60 hour stunt which saw him hang upside-down over New York.
Despite David seeming happy with his achievement, many people felt mislead.
Shocked onlookers and fans saw him take repeated breaks during the stunt, where he was lowered to his feet to take toilet breaks and drink water!
As far as many were concerned, Blaine was going to spend the entire 60 hour stretch hanging upside-down. This seems to be just the latest in a string of disappointment for blaine fans. His last feat saw him attempt the world record for holding his breath. He didn’t make it, but his attempt was commendable.
Truthfully, I’m yet to meet a single person who is mildly impressed by his bizarre stunts. None of which are particularly exciting or entertaining. Blaine is already thinking up ideas for his next stunt. Let’s just hope he fights a lion. In a straight jacket.
David Blaine’s Latest Stunt Begins
admin | 11:59 am | September 23, 2008 | news
Magician David Blaine has begun his three day challenge, hanging upside-down from a wire.
The popular street magic performer has been hoisted up by his heels above New York’s Wollmann ice rink.
According to David, his head felt like it was “about to explode”. As with his previous stunts, doctors have warned about possible blood circulation problems, blah blah.
For those of you wondering how he ‘goes’ without weeing in his own face, he uses a catheter. What a dignified performer he has become.
What happened to the cool street magic and snappy card sleights? I wouldn’t say going from performing mini miracolous feats of card magic to hanging upside-down for three days is much of an advancement of a career, but I suppose it grabs the attention of the media.
Maybe this is what the masses want to see from David Blaine. Although I suspect that when people have been saying they want to see David Blaine hang, this is not quite what they had in mind.
1 CommentMichael Ammar - Cups and Balls
admin | 8:38 pm | September 20, 2008 | General
I’d like to share with you a classic example of what can be done with some cups, balls and a little misdirection.
This cups and balls performance by Michael Ammar is a perfectly executed, entertaining routine.
People often chase the latest, freshest innovative magic tricks, when a well performed classic cups and balls routine is at least as likely to blow people away.
If you already have a cups and balls routine, then this video will likely give you a couple of ideas. If you don’t perform cups and balls already, then why not? You can pick up a beginners cups and balls kit right here at Wizmo for just £2.49!
