    Meir’s Muses
    MyMagic eNewsletter #1,077
    January 29, 2023

    Regular readers of this newsletter know that some of the things that fascinate me are puzzles and optical illusions. Many of the ones I offered you over the years are now impossible to get.

    David Regal recently released his take on the Jastrow Illusion which I think is fantastic. Although this is not a limited edition, I understand that I will not be able to get anymore till late March.

    ►The Long And Short Of It:

    The Jastrow Illusion, which is often referred to as the Boomerang Illusion, is one of the rare optical illusions that looks amazing even though you may understand how it works. The basic effect is that by placing the two objects in a certain position the objects can be made to look longer or shorter than each other. There have been many applications in magic, and this is one of the best.

    It is a self-contained routine with four brightly painted pieces of custom-crafted wood in an elegant burgundy sack. It is a complete performance piece packed with amazement and amusement. Laughs and gasps combine as pieces of wood appear to change size in ever more intriguing and colorful combinations.

    Watch and buy: HERE

    Wanted to remind you that the introductory price on this download will end on Tuesday.

    ►David Roth Lecture Notes #2:

    David Roth was the most influential and creative coin magician in history. This is a digital copy of his second set of lecture notes which was simply titled “A Lecture By David Roth.” Although he referred to these notes as “Another Lecture By David Roth.”

    It contained the original routines that he wanted to perform, impress with, and teach at his lectures.

    Contents:

    The Linking Coins, Shell Coins Across, Boston Palm Load, Four-Coin Transposition, Wild Coin, and Wild Coin No. 2.

    ►BACK IN STOCK:

    Keeping with the theme, last week I received another shipment of the Gift Boxes Illusion and Fishy Fish, more than half of them are already gone to magicians who signed up for notifications.

    ►Gift Boxes Illusion:

    There is a very famous optical illusion with an illustration of two different sized and shaped boxes where one looks larger than the other. But when the tops of the boxes are measured, they turn out to be identical.

    In an effort to make the illusion play as a magic routine and to be able to present it standing up, the new artwork was placed on a steel board and the lids of the boxes were made into magnets. This allows you to visually demonstrate the illusion and take credit for the magic.

    Watch and buy: HERE

    ►Fishy Fish:

    This is a self-working and very deceptive puzzle where you show a picture of a fish that runs across three postcards. The cards are mixed so they are obviously out of order.

    You turn the cards face down for a moment and when they are turned face up the fish is reassembled as it was before the mixing.

    If you are not familiar with the principle involved, you will be fooled the first time you see it.

    ►OUR LATEST RELEASE:

    ►Countdown Coins:

    Many years ago, Rocco came up with a coin gimmick that can be used to display four US Quarters while instantly changing to three Quarters, then two, and finally one Quarter, it can also be shown in reverse, going from one to four Quarters. The displays can be made one handed which allows for a very clean in the hand’s coins across.

    The utility device can be used for many different routines, both stand-up and close-up. The tutorial includes easy, intermediate, and advanced coin routines that are taught by Rocco Silano, Dr. Michael Rubinstein, and Meir Yedid.

    Stay happy, Meir

    PS: The next newsletter will have the premiere of a new bill routine from Hungary. Very limited quantity.

    “The first paper on graph theory was written by the famous Swiss mathematician Euler and appeared in 1736. From a mathematical point of view, the theory of graphs seemed rather insignificant in the beginning since it dealt largely with entertaining puzzles.”
    …Oystein Ore (Graphs And Their Uses, 1963)
