For many years the opening routine in my formal close-up shows was my handling of Darwin Ortiz’ handling of Peter Kane’s Jazz Aces. I performed it thousands of times until I replaced it with my Stand-Up, Pop-Jump.
Last year during a session with Jamie Masterson he showed me his version. It felt different than all the others I have seen but what killed me was the surprise ending. I never saw it coming and could not backtrack… he fooled me. He then showed me how it worked and gave me a booklet he sold at exclusive lectures that explained it. I asked him to let me offer it to you, but at the time he didn’t want to tip the work.
After his lecture in Las Vegas, the day after Magic Live! I offered to buy everything he had left. That is where I got the Crazy Eyes II that instantly sold out.
Below you will find autographed copies of the Masterson Jazz Assembly. Crazy Eyes II is currently being reprinted and his giant new card book that sold out at Magic Live! is on the way from the printers.
ALSO: Scroll down for a surprise collectible! Or go to the trailer: HERE
►Masterson Jazz Assembly:
This is a beautiful four card assembly with a kicker ending that will surprise everyone.
Here is what Jamie wrote about the routine in the introduction: “The first in this series is a routine that am particularly proud of and have kept secret for close to thirteen years. After years of experimentation and research, I have come to believe that what you hold in your hands is indeed the definitive handling of Jazz Aces, both methodologically and theatrically.”

Sometimes it pays to be a hoarder. I collect everything, especially things I like to perform, I often buy every version so I can play and learn from them and sometimes I hoard everything I can find of that particular item until I end up with a collection. I sometimes show a few in the trailers.
One such item is Danny’s Panel Board. I decided to release a few of the oldest ones I own. They are probably around 100 years old, and they came from Danny Tsukalas’s inventory. Due to age and workmanship, they are not the best… but they can be used as seen in the trailer and they are definitely collectible. I also have some made of Pine, Brass, and very few of the original ones that Danny had manufactured. Will likely release those eventually as well. Until then, take a look at the Legacy Edition.
►Panel Board: Legacy Edition:
The Legacy Edition of the Panel Board was likely manufactured in the 1920 or 1930s in Japan. This board has been in storage since that time in Danny Tsukalas’ garage.
The beauty of this original Panel Board is that it will take coins that are similar in size to US Quarters.
Since wood expands and warps you will likely have to work in the trap door until it opens and closes smoothly, as well as the smoothness of the slot. But be careful this is around 100 years old. It is being sold as a collectible as opposed to something you should use every day.

Wanted to remind you that the introductory price to the Geoff Latta download expires on Tuesday. More of the sold-out Penny Shells and Jumbo Pennies will be arriving midweek.
►Fisted:
This is a beautiful and simple transposition that happens in your spectator’s hand.
You cleanly show a silver coin and a copper coin. You place the silver coin into the spectator’s fist and the copper coin on top of their fist. You then place your hand on the copper coin, and when you lift your hand, the silver coin is now on top of their hand and the copper coin is inside their fist. They can examine both coins.

►MY MAGIC’S LATEST RELEASE:
►Sword Illusion ProCase:
The Magic Sword Illusion is arguably one of the best and most deceptive illusions in magic. It creates an impossible illusion of a knife repeatedly penetrating through a toothpick or any such object. It is truly a mind-boggling illusion that seems impossible even after you know how it works.
The idea was to create a case for it, so it looks less like a toy and more like an interesting oddity. The Sword Illusion ProCase is a custom-made black case made of strong plastic that has a rough texture. It comes complete with a Sword Illusion already embedded so it can be performed immediately.
