I had a wonderful time at NEMCON last weekend. Great new venue, great acts, lots of friends, great conversations and am looking forward to their 40th Anniversary next year.
Until then I will be hanging with many of my New England friends on April 5th at the Real Magic Roadshow in the Boston area. Many NEMCON attendees already said they will be there.
It only costs $10 per person but the reservations must be made and paid for in advance. Oh… you will also get a $10 coupon you can use with any of the dealers.
Who are the dealers? Besides me you will also get to hang out with Paul Richards, Chris Smith, Mark Mason, Dirk Losander, and Christian Schenk. With lots of new magic.
For more information and ticketing go: HERE.
I should mention that even though I will only be at the Boston event they will also be traveling to: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and New York. Info: HERE.
Kismet:
I have many friends who believe in synchronicity, fate, karma, magic, and all forms of superstition. Although I respect the theories, I basically lean toward what I read as a kid in a long forgotten magic book, “If you want to be a magician, you can’t believe in magic.” Not sure that is true but will stick with it for now.
But something coincidental happened last week while I was editing the Jerry Andrus Two Card Trick. While turning it into the download I also considered converting his other outstanding coin routine, the Miser’s Miracle. I decided that the reason, so few people perform it anymore is because it is not as simple.
Now, while editing the Andrus video I was also converting some 3/4″ videos for a friend of mine into a digital format. That was happening downstairs in my old editing suite and I would go down to check on the progress every once in a while.
So, this is the weird thing that happened. As soon as I entered the room I see Doug Henning on the monitor performing Jerry’s Miser’s Miracle! I forgot that he ever did it, but he did it perfectly, and the one part that discourages people from performing it was cleverly done off camera.
It is actually a simple routine to do but does require some preparation and practice. I feel that at this point I have to release it to you and include the Doug Henning performance in the trailer for you to see. Who knows? Maybe this was meant to be? And the reason could be you?

 CATCH ME & WINMORE INFO & BUY: HERE Gene Maze’s fantastic chain routine combines the Fast & Loose or Endless Chain routines with the classic Three Card Monte and Three Shell Game scams. When the routine was originally published many top pros built their own sets and put it into their shows. The object is for the spectator to pick the peg that catches. No matter how hard they try they can’t find it. Even though you keep making it easier and giving them tips, they always fail. Of course, the secret lies in the fact that you have total control of whether the spectator wins or loses. |  MAGICIAN BADGEMORE INFO & BUY: HERE This is a real Magician Badge that was fashioned on the badges used by law enforcement agencies around the world. It adds a level credibility to magicians while at the same time adding humor to your introductions. It is a great icebreaker. The next time you walk up to strangers you can pull out the badge as you say your name and title of Magician. It causes a moment of panic followed by relief and laughter. |
 PREDICT-PERFECTMORE INFO & BUY: HERE An outstanding prediction effect where you have 100% control over 198 possible outcomes. This routine is a reputation maker. It has every performance quality needed to make it into a classic. It is self-working. Learned in minutes. Immediately repeatable. No memory work. No stooges. No complicated mathematics. Self contained. Can be performed up-close or on stage. You will love the method as well as the effect. It is a pure pleasure to perform. |  PING PONG BALL VASEMORE INFO & BUY: HERE A beautiful hand spun Ping Pong Ball Vase made of a single piece of exotic wood. It comes with a Ping Pong ball and a matching shell (ball vase type). This is one of the few Ball Vases that uses a recognizable object, or what is termed an organic prop. Since the popularity of Beer Pong, that uses the same balls, has far surpassed the popularity of Table Tennis this has become a very common object. |
