Casanova Concept offer from BBM

This came through on the BBM mailing list offers. If you’re not on the list you can probably still get to the deal by following the link! For a limited period, the Casanova Concept DVD for only £10. Casanova Offer.

Anything is possible…

Bicycle Cards in Bottle

These are not new, but I just love the idea, and they are not always available in the UK.

A factory sealed pack of Bicycle Cards in an ordinary milk bottle. Wonderful way of adorning your magic den and reminding you that anything is possible…

Wayne Dobson has some at the moment – visit Dtrick and look in the Close Up and Stand Up section.

(Thanks to MagicWeek for the tip-off that they were back in stock).

 
 

Close-Up Magic Symposium

British Close Up Magic Symposium

British Close Up Magic Symposium

I reckon in this time of credit crunch, e-books may well be the way forward (though I will always prefer the real deal…).

Anyway, our friends at Trickshop.com have just released The British Close Up Magic Symposium
– a big e-book of over 300 pages covering 16 years of the British Close Up Magic Symposium.  Loads of great card and close up magic by all the greats.  Well worth a look at $49.95 and instand delivery!

Blogging Blackpool 09

My friends at the Sussex Magic Circle are providing their (now annual!) blog on the world famous Blackpool Magic Convention. Starting tomorrow, they will be providing their views, and are promising pictures and evern videos so you can see what you’re missing if you’re not there…

Check out their blog at: Blogging Blackpool.

Koran Deck, McDonald’s Aces and Gold Standard Decks

Just a quick note to let you know that the Koran forcing deck (£4.00) and McDonald’s Aces (£2.80) (all in Bicycle Cards) are back in stock at BicycleTricks.co.uk. And the free sharpie offer is still on for orders over £5.

Also the Richard Turner Gold Standard decks are available at MagicMagic.co.uk (£4.99) and they have no minimum order, unlike Cards4Magic.

Uncut Karnival Deck Sheet

Uncut Karnival Deck

If you loved the Karnival Deck, then you better get yourself over to BBM quickly before their limited edition Uncut Karnival Sheets sell out. Apparently only 100 being sold. Yours for £25 + P&P.

 
 

Trick of the Month – Feb 2009

Cash Card - Card Thru £5 In a ‘credit crunch’ tricks with cash ought to appeal! And this is a very nice looking penetration of a bank note with a playing card. £12.99
Yokai  -  by Phill Smith I have recently finished reading Phill Smith’s first book – Mitox – The Falsely Spoken Word – and thoroughly enjoyed it. His approach is to the point, subtle, and suitable for use in the real world. So whilst I haven’t yet read Yokai, it is sure to be worth a look if you enjoy good mentalism. £27.50
Cups and Balls Set (With Chop Cup) (High Quality) I was recently re-learning my chop cup and balls routine and the combination set really does add an extra element to the routine – especially if your sleight of hand is not so hot. Here’s a nice set for £27.95.
