Lego is now the largest toy company in the world, the Lego Masters TV show regularly gets more than a million viewers, and many children these days are obsessed with watching Lego builders on YouTube. So, doing magic with Lego’s could wind up being the next fad. To start your collection, try this clever paddle routine.
One tip. The blocks that come with this are very tight. I would recommend loosening them up so you can easily take them apart and reassemble them during performance.
►Wand-O-Blocks:
You get a three-phase routine using the toy blocks that both adults and children immediately recognize.
The basic routine has you show a small magic wand made of interlocking toy blocks. With a wave, one of the white blocks vanishes and reappears in your free hand.
You disassemble the wand to show that they are ordinary toy blocks and do a quick hand to hand transposition before the finale, where a white block vanishes and appears in the center of the wand.

►Conjurer’s Wisdom Volume 2:
After the acclaim of the original Conjurer’s Wisdom book Joe decided to conjure up more of his witty, funny, and thought-provoking thoughts.
Open to any page, read any quote, and be ready to ponder about what magic is and is not. Explore these facts and fallacies, and read many of Joe’s favorite oxymorons, redundancies, euphemisms, opinions, questions, observations, and confabulations. As you read each quote, give it some thought, use them in your performance, combine a few or change the quote to fit your needs.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Blizzard keeps selling out. I wonder if it is because you get my free handling video with every purchase.
►Blizzard:
This was Dean Dill’s most deceptive creation. He fooled everyone with it, and you can too.
You begin by showing a full deck of cards and having someone name any card. You then remove their card and its mates and have a spectator mix up the four cards.
You then pick their card out of the four and explain that it was easy since the other three are now blank. Is a matter of fact, the entire deck is now blank, and everything is examinable.

►OUR LATEST RELEASE:
►Countdown Coins:
Many years ago, Rocco came up with a coin gimmick that can be used to display four US Quarters while instantly changing to three Quarters, then two, and finally one Quarter, it can also be shown in reverse, going from one to four Quarters. The displays can be made one handed which allows for a very clean in the hand’s coins across.
The utility device can be used for many different routines, both stand-up and close-up. The tutorial includes easy, intermediate, and advanced coin routines that are taught by Rocco Silano, Dr. Michael Rubinstein, and Meir Yedid.

PS: Was thinking about which sounds better: “blocks” or “bricks when doing Lego themed magic?

“The secret to making this routine a success, is to deliver the lines with such enthusiasm the audience senses you are having as much fun doing it as they are watching it.”
…Harrison Carroll (The Shell Game, 1994)
