Meir’s Muses
MyMagic eNewsletter #1,373
February 4, 2026
Last year I printed a bunch of humorous business cards, and I used them as thank you notes for every order that was placed during December and January.
I still have a bunch left so if you want one with your next order, please let me know. Now back to business…
Helge Thun is a superstar. Everything I ever saw him do has been brilliant in technique, construction, presentation, well, in every way. When his new card book came out, I knew I had to get one for myself and I got a bunch of extra copies for all of you.
I also just received a few copies of the mentalism tome everyone has been talking about.
►Evidence Of A Well Spent Life:
Every piece Helge Thun performs is well thought out, structured, and designed for success. Not only is he a fantastic magician but he is also a successful stand-up comedian in his native Germany.
Along with the incredible routines, Helge has also included original sleights that are perfect for stand-up, close-up, or even strolling performers (many of them have an accompanying QR code to show you what they look like) and several essays to improve your magic. You will get real insights from Helge on using humor for deception, adapting card magic for stand-up, and how to construct your magic. This book also includes Helge’s work on creating signed duplicate cards.

►The Karmilovich Collection:
Ted Karmilovich kept extensive private notebooks and unpublished works that even the world’s greatest mentalists had never seen. Now, for the first time, his groundbreaking methods, effects, and work finally see the light of day.
Over three hundred fifty pages and nearly two hundred effects, essays, and private notes, this book is massive. This work spans more than five decades of Ted’s influential involvement in the world of mentalism. From close-up to stage, propless to mechanical, this is a lifetime of work.

►Mental Marriage:
A little-known multi-phase card routine where your friends’ selections continually match your predictions and end with a surprise. It is self-working and the method is devious. It is so direct and impossible that you would think stooges are involved.
Here is exactly what you can do with the special cards.
Using two friends you hand one of them the four Kings and the other the four Queens. They each shuffle their cards and put them down on the table. They each select one of their cards (free choice) and the two suites match perfectly. This can be repeated as many times as you want, and the cards can match or not at your discretion.

►FOR EVERYTHING DAVID SOLOMON GO: HERE
The introductory price for Michael Rubinstein’s, now best-selling, download expires on Friday. Get it while you can.
►One Coin Routine:
The next time you find yourself with a coin in hand, you will be able to do some visual magic at a moment’s notice. Depending on the situation you can perform one or two quick moves or an entire act.
The One-Coin Routine is modular, which gives you the option of performing the complete routine, or just snippets that can stand on their own and be incorporated into your existing routines! It also includes three different endings (impromptu, multi coin production, and large coin), so you can perform the routine the way you want!

►BACK IN STOCK:
One of last year’s best-selling books at MyMagic is back in stock. Its focus is on how to practice and perfect what you do.
►Practicing The Art Of Magic:
Clemens Ilgner is a classically trained musician and award-winning magician. As we all know, the amount of practice required to become an accomplished musician as astronomical compared to magic.
In this excellent book Clemens applies what he learned through years of study and practice of music to magic. He offers a unique approach to practicing sleights and routines and incorporating sound psychological studies. If you’re looking to rehearse more effectively, make progress, and gain additional confidence in your performance, this guide is for you.
