Meir’s Muses
MyMagic eNewsletter #1,083
February 22, 2023
A few years ago I introduced you to Conjurer’s Wisdom which was a fun book with more than 3,000 magic related nuggets of wisdom, sarcasm, and just fun stuff to think about. You can read the original newsletter: HERE
Well, volume two just arrived with thousands more things to make you think and smile. Here are a few samples:
“A moment of silence or a pause can be the most articulate moment in a routine.”
“Never perform the disappearing hanky to a spectator that carries his own thumb tip.”
“Remember, the magician you were yesterday should not be the one you are today.”
As usual all of the Joe Hernandez books we sell have been autographed. Get a copy before he gets a writer’s cramp!
►Conjurer’s Wisdom Volume 2:
After the acclaim of the original Conjurer’s Wisdom book Joe decided to conjure up more of his witty, funny, and thought-provoking thoughts.
Open to any page, read any quote, and be ready to ponder about what magic is and is not. Explore these facts and fallacies, and read many of Joe’s favorite oxymorons, redundancies, euphemisms, opinions, questions, observations, and confabulations. As you read each quote, give it some thought, use them in your performance, combine a few or change the quote to fit your needs.

►Number 4 Envelope:
This is an ingeniously constructed four-way-out envelope using an origami type fold that allows it to handle very cleanly and fairly.
The four compartments can be easily opened from the four sides of the envelope and each side can hold one or more playing cards.
Depending on which way you start to open the envelope you can hand it to your spectator to remove the card or small object.

►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.

“Rope magic is one of the oldest branches of magic. It is also one of the most modern. The basic apparatus has not changed in the four centuries since a rope trick was described in Reginald Scot’s Discoverie Of Witchcraft.”
…Karl Fulves (Self Working Rope Magic, 1990)
