MyMagic eNewsletter #1,362
December 20, 2025
Before we get into the main focus of the newsletter I wanted to mention that the inexpensive, plastic Infinity Chalices using US Quarters have arrived. Unfortunately, the Aluminum and Stainless editions are almost gone.
Below is Juan Tamariz’ latest book and I simultaneously restocked his other books. Juan and I have a long history together. I have known him for more than half his life, I produced his only two NYC lectures, he surprised me by coming to one of my early shows in NYC around 43 years ago, he attended my lecture in London, I was the second person in the US he tipped his Mnemonica stack to, he personally booked my lecture tour through Spain by phoning all the clubs, he let me market one of his best packet tricks, and I even appeared on one of his TV specials.
I am also a huge fan. He is one of only a handful of magicians who can fool me at will (actually one of two). As great as he is in front on an audience, he is a hundred times more powerful when he is sitting face to face with you and destroying your reality. Luckily, many of those intimate routines are now in print, hidden throughout his many books.
►Flamenco:
Flamenco is the long-awaited sequel to Juan Tamariz’s Sonata and Mnemonica, and the third volume in his Bewitched Music series. Filling its pages are central pieces of the Tamariz repertoire: tricks and routines that have been honed and perfected over decades.
Flamenco presents a variety of material that includes new effects with cards, coins, color-changing knives and interactive pieces for live and broadcast performances.

►FOR EVERYTHING JUAN TAMARIZ GO: HERE
►Infinity Chalice:
This is a terrific routine that combines many principles into one cohesive routine that is easy to follow and easy to perform.
You begin by showing a unique looking double-ended chalice and four coins. The four coins are placed into the top of the chalice and one-at-a-time they seem to penetrate the top of the chalice and magically work their way to the bottom in the cleanest and most direct way possible.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Here are the Tamariz books that arrived this week.
►Mnemonica:
Tamariz’s memorized deck stack, “Mnemonica,” has become a legend with card magicians throughout the world, and within this book he reveals at last its complete workings, as well as teaching the reader how to memorize the stack-forever–in as little as three hours.
Accompanying this information are more than a hundred tricks and routines that radically expand the range of effects commonly thought possible with a memorized deck.

►Magic Way:
This is an updated, expanded, freshly translated edition of Juan Tamariz’ 1987 classic. This new edition brings the magic and remarkable thinking of one of our greatest living magicians. Over a period of five years, Juan Tamariz has corrected, revised and updated his classic text. This newly translated edition of that revised work might have been called The Magic Way Repaved.

►Five Points In Magic:
The Five Points in Magic is Juan Tamariz’s highly regarded study of the physical and psychological secrets that use the body to fool the mind. He teaches magicians that it is not the hands alone that deceive, but also the feet, the body, the eyes and the voice. It is only through a full understanding of all five of these tools of nature and communication that the conjurer can spin a complete web of illusion that traps and then transports his audiences into the astonishing realm he has prepared for them.

►Magic Rainbow:
The Magic Rainbow is Juan Tamariz’s magnum opus on magic-performance theory. It presents essays, explanations, revelations, insight and analysis—forty years of thinking by the world’s most respected and beloved magician. Above all, The Magic Rainbow is Juan Tamariz’s love song to magic and magicians, with lyrics that will guide your performances to their highest peaks and your audiences to the rainbow of magical emotion.

►eBay Auctions:
I keep adding more booklets that are full of gems and just about all of them are selling for around $10 each. These are bargains that you will be inspired by and might even learn something that will last you a lifetime. As usual the books that expire during the week sell for less than the ones that expire on the weekend.
