Free deck of Bicycle Cards this weekend!

Another time-limited deal for your attention.

MagicTricks.co.uk are offering a free pack with every order over £20 this weekend (ends 1 December).
Free deck!

(Don’t forget, BicycleTricks are currently offering a free sharpie for every order over £5.)

Annemann on Card Magic Special

I haven’t plugged an e-book bargain for a while, but this holiday offer looked too good to miss.

Annemann on Card Magic contains two books (Ted Annemann’s “Full Deck of Impromptu Card Tricks” and Annemann’s “Miracles of Card Magic”) containing over 100 effects and is available until 1st December for only $1.95 (roughly £1.28). I’d snap one up (in fact, I have snapped one up!). Available at Trickshop.com (use the shop by category and select Annemann to find it).

On the subject of festive deals, I have added a few more items to our Card Magic Books page and our Card Magic DVDs page, and hope to add a few more to the Card Magic Tricks page. So if you are looking for a present for Christmas, why not have a look at some of our recommendations…

Magic by Michael Paul

Flicker  - By Michael Paul - INSTANT DOWNLOAD

 

 

I got an email about a new trick called ‘Flickr‘ today and it certainly looks like an interesting concept. Involves flash paper, so may not be for everyone, but could be worth a look. An instant download for £11.99.

 

IMPACT - Michael Paul DVD

 

But as I was investigating, I discovered his earlier DVD – IMPACTat half price. This got an excellent review at Visions and also at TalkMagic so at £11.74 I’m quite tempted…

The beautiful card magic of Guy Hollingworth

The man is a bit of a legend to my mind, and his Drawing Room Deceptions is a book I treasure, even if most of the material is too hard for me! He recently did an interesting piece on the BBC about copyright in magic and the article includes two nice videos of him performing, including the infamous ‘Reparation’ – check it out at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7722521.stm.

(Thanks to MagicWeek for the heads up on this)

New Cheapest Deck!

Well it only took a few days and one of our readers alerted us to the excellent rate offered by Magicians Cave – rocking in at almost £1 cheaper than the next best price! So check out the Cheapest Bicycle Card Finder to find out how much (and don’t forget to bookmark it for future reference…).

Bicycle Masters Bargain!

JB Magic are having a big sale as they are moving to an ‘all online’ business, and I just noticed they have Bicycle Masters for £2.37 which seems pretty cheap to me. Also some Vintage Bicycle 1800s (£2.97) and some great tricks all reduced. JB Bargains!

Pinch, punch, deals of the month!

Black and Silver Bicycle Poker Deck - By USPCC

We didn’t get an end of the month round up yesterday (well it was Halloween) so we are going to start the month with a few deals and recommendations instead…

Paul Gordon started advertising with us last month, and when I looked at his site recently I noticed he has got some good bundle deals going. I’m currently working through Cardistry which has got some great material in it, and I’m also enjoying Corner of Picadilly – which is a 3 card monte with a difference. Well worth a look.

Our friends at BicycleTricks.co.uk are offering a credit-crunch beating offer at the moment. Spend £5 and get a free Sharpie. Why not top-up your gaff card supplies?

And finally, I must have missed these when they first came in, but they are rather fetching Black and Silver Bicycle Cards, only £3.99 at Merchant of Magic.

Trick of the Month – Nov 2008

Phil Plus So this one’s been around for quite some time now, but just recently I have seen a couple of people perform it at my local magic club, and I think it is strong magic. An appealing plot and clever prediction. And easy to do. Only £12.99
The Omega Mutation - By Cameron Francis DVD We always like the BigBlindMedia DVDs – strong magic and taught in an amusing manner. This is a massive 3 disc set – 27 strong effects – mainly cards. Recommended. And currently reduced from £49.99 to only £35.25
Apocalypse Vol 1 - Years 1 - 5 I haven’t plugged an all time classic book for a while, so I thought this was the moment. This is a beautifully produced book containing strong magic from all the greats. And look at the scope – 720 jam-packed pages, over 250 card effects, over 140 coin effects, 145 other items, plus articles and editorials and a big index to help you find things! Only £49.99.
