[MyMagic] More Meaningful

The Meaningful Conjuring book I released a few months ago in hardcover (limited to 250 copies) has sold many more copies than I expected. Its target audience was the Bizzarist community which Ed Solomon was a big part of. He was also instrumental in moving that community that was mostly based on bizarre magic to a community of storytelling magic or more accurately doing magic with a reason and a moral. His book is full of short stories that are interwoven within magic tricks. Imagine Twilight Zone type stories told through a magic performance.

With only a small percentage of hardcovers left I decided to release the softcover edition which is less costly and is also available through Amazon so customers and friends who live outside the US can also get them with free or heavily discounted shipping.

If you live outside the US you can try the link above or search for “Meaningful Conjuring” on your local Amazon website.

►Meaningful Conjuring:

Ed Solomon, who was also known as DeNomolos, was a master storyteller who used magic to emphasize the point or moral of his stories. He wanted his magic to appeal to the intellect and touch the soul of his audiences, or as he put it: “People may not remember my name or the magic that I performed, but they will remember how it made them feel.”

Between 2004 and 2015 Ed wrote 125 columns in The Linking Ring magazine that featured short stories that used simple magic to highlight their messages. All those columns are included in this book along with some bonus tricks, essays, and more.

If you ever wanted to elevate your magic from just being a series of puzzles into meaningful moments of magic, this book may inspire you to think along those lines. Remember that all good magic revolves around solid stories and premises and this book is full of both.

►BACK IN STOCK:

After repairing one of the lathe’s that was destroying coins, Ted was once again able to make me the coins you have been asking for. The main item sold out a few minutes after I added it to the site (but more are on the way). I do have the Dual Position Triple Split sets in most varieties.

I am also getting a delivery of a brand new gimmicked coin routine he has been messing with for a few years… Hope to be able to offer it to you in a few weeks after I shoot the trailer.

►Dual Position Triple Split:

There have been many versions released by many different companies, but most are basically the same. Until now…

What Ted Bogusta created is a magnetic system he calls Dual Position which uses specially designed and manufactured magnets that allow the magnetic coins to overlap without aligning. This system allows you to place the overlapping coins in your hands, on the table, or even in the spectators’ hands.

The coins are also a little thicker than most which allows them to be shown as full-sized coins as opposed to shims.

►LATEST RELEASE:

►Brain Bogglers:

For many years Meir Yedid has been opening his stage, parlor, and formal close-up shows with a series of three optical illusions/brain twisters where he explains how magic works. The premise is that we tell you the truth, but your brain lies to you.

The three optical illusions/brain twisters are the standard Word Skipping Illusion, Cornsweet Illusion, and Thatcher illusion, although they have been modified to optimize the live presentations and make them more interesting.

PS: My upcoming performing schedule and impending jury duty will likely force me to skip a few newsletters. So, don’t worry about me if you notice the absence.
