Stone Frixion Fire is Unstopable The Tarot Book broke some serious records in just one week. But it still hasn’t been able to surpass the ubiquitous Stone Frixion Fire. It’s still the all time number one best seller. Check out what Dr. Lawrence Hass the Associate Dean of the McBride Magic & Mystery School had to say about it: Jeff Stone’s Stone Frixion Fire is currently the definitive source for learning how to create magic with the new Frixion pen. It offers a careful analysis of previous tricks with the pen, essential tips for using it deceptively, and over twelve [...]

Thank you Eugene Burger for the inspiration of this article. Not too long ago Eugene Burger lectured at our little clublette here in Salt Lake City. The lecture was amazing. Great magic, great advice, and amazing words of wisdom . . . duh . . . it was Eugene Burger. During the lecture he made the comment that at some point you have to decide if you’re going to “purchase or polish.” It’s beautiful and poetic and just what some of you (including me) needed to hear. What he meant, of course, is that you can keep on buying new [...]

Written By Jeff Stone The all time best-selling Stone Cold Magic Product is by far . . . Stone Frixion Fire. The biggest thing people have told me they’ve liked about this book is that it got their creative juices flowing. The book is full of full blown routines as well as random untested ideas. Ideas lead to more ideas. Because of this, as mentioned in the news section this month, we’re doing a DVD on the Frixion pen, so to get everyone juiced about the upcoming DVD, I thought I give you an effect from the book. This is [...]

Jan 312010

Greetings and salutations to all! It seems that another month has passed us by and I still struggle writing 2010 instead of 2009 on things. Weren’t we just having Y2K problems? Regardless of my personal memory issues, I have compiled a month worth of performances and a recipe for this month’s trick, E.A.R. or Everything’s a Radio from Miracles for Mortals Vol. 2, by Geoff Williams. First let’s get to the nuts and bolts. The required gimmick for E.A.R. has to be constructed. I purchased all of the parts at two places, Radio Shack and Wal-Mart. I found in making [...]

Greeting and Salutations, I hope that the holiday season has been good to each of you. I hope your stocking was stuffed with great magic that will keep you busy in front of a mirror for a while. Doing what is up to you! For a quite some time, my good friend Jeff has been asking me to pen a regular column for him. I have from time to time offered him a piece of my mind, and magic too, but was always reluctant to write a regular column. Take whatever excuse you want, but I have finally caved! (Yes [...]

Described By Jeff Stone Introduction This is yet another effect that takes advantage of the new Bicycle card boxes. This is an idea that Dan just came up with off the top of his head over pizza one day. The guy is a genius. Effect The pasteboard prestidigitator shows gives the audience a brief lesson in the history of cameras via the use of – you guessed it – playing cards. First a blank card (representing old-school Polaroid film) is shown on both sides and placed in between a red back Joker and a blue back Joker. The three cards [...]

Take a Picture; It’ll Last Longer! By Jeff Stone So there I was minding my own business in my 9th grade English class when suddenly in walks a vision of beauty, or as much of a vision of beauty as can be comprehended by a 13 year old… This thing of beauty had a name… Dana (I’ll leave out the last name in case she happens to have grown up to become a magician and a Stone Cold Magic Magazine subscriber). Then suddenly I heard those words that will make any 13 year old boy flush with embarrassment… “Take a [...]

News: Another month down, another month closer to the holiday season! This is the best time of year here in Utah. The weather cools down, it’s already snowed a little. I love it. I love the cold weather. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. I guess the song is true. Ok, Jeff, stop rambling! Get on with it. I have been brainstorming, at different times recently, with Jason Montoya, Diamond Jim Davis, and Jay Sankey. It’s true, there is power in numbers; there is synergy. Some cool ideas are in the works. Of course, the most important part [...]
