Been working very hard on some new products for Magic Live. Three outstanding coin items, plus magic with sponges, cards, and a mouse. Not sure how many will be ready in time but working hard.
Also wanted to remind you that the introductory sale price for the Sol Stone download (below) will expire on Tuesday.
You may remember that last February I presented a 30-minute talk about The Amazing Kreskin at the G4G Conference in Atlanta. That talk was recorded and is now available online. I think you will learn a lot about him, his career, and his impact.
Watch: HERE
At the beginning of my talk, I spoke briefly about Kreskin’s recent health issues. Unfortunately, shortly after that day Kreskin had to retire from performing after a 60+ year career.
I decided to slowly phase out my Gambling Incorporated website and started moving all the products to the MyMagic website. I just finished adding more than 100 decks of cards to the site and many of them are very hard to find elsewhere.
Many of the decks are very limited in quantity.
Take a look: HERE
►Belly Stripper Bicycle Cards:
Ideal for gambling demos, you can have the spectator shuffle, riffle, and even wash (mix them over the table) the cards and you will still be able to find the aces by stripping them out or cutting to them.
Comes complete with a hand-made, special deck of cards by Steph Lac and access to a video tutorial.
Get one: HERE
►Instanto Deck:
A hand-made deck of this classic gaffed deck which was originally created by Billy O’Connor in 1919. It was also the deck which Cardini used to fool magicians with and briefly manufactured.
Just about every card in the deck is gimmicked in some way which allows you to find any card named and cut to it. With practice the cards can be found very fast.

►Ring On Ring Off:
When asked to perform for non-magicians in an intimate situation Sol Stone almost always began with this routine. It was a fast ice breaker that let his audience know that he was just going to have fun with them.
It is a two-phase routine using a borrowed finger ring and a borrowed pen (although Sol often used his own). After everything is examined, your friend puts the ring on top of the pen that is in your hand. The ring somehow ends up linked to the pen that is now held by the spectator. After some cute byplay the ring now penetrates off the pen and everything is examinable.

►How To Be A Fake Kreskin:
This is a book of stunts and tricks that Kreskin has collected to demonstrate supernatural abilities and hypnotic seeming impossibilities. All of them are very easy to accomplish and many of them are suitable to teach children how to exhibit some impossible powers.
Throughout Kreskin’s career there have been many detractors who tried to discredit him and publish what they thought he was doing. Many of those methods are also included in this book. It is kind of Kreskin exposing the exposers.

I decided to continue the introductory sale prices on all of Dan Garrett’s magic until I am able to offer you many more of his tricks, books, and lecture notes.

“One reason thought-reading experiments with playing cards have always intrigued my audiences is probably because they can imagine the tremendous advantage such an ability might give them at the gaming tables.”
