As I’ve mentioned, I’m in the middle of a pretty huge book project containing mentalism, routine ideas, psychological points, essays on a bunch of different subjects.

Paper Balls Under the Head Another one of my all-time favorite concepts comes from [...]
March 18th . . . a red-letter day in the Stone family. That’s the day, in 1948, that my father was born. On what would have been his 63rd birthday (he passed away in 2005), I served in my son’s school under the Watch D.O.G.S. program. At the beginning of the day they had me announce my name over the intercom. I mentioned that I was a magician over the intercom. During the day, my job was to be at certain places at certain times and just “help out.” Every where I went, I was mobbed by kids who wanted [...]

Brand New DVD! You heard right folks . . . A Frixion DVD. My E-Book, Stone Frixion Fire, is by far and away the all time best selling Stone Cold Magic product, so we’ve decided to do a Frixion DVD. My consultants and I have been experimenting over the past several months, and we’ve got a ton of killer new ideas. There are even a couple of breakthroughs in how the ink can be used that nobody else has thought of (that I know of . . . up to this point). We’re hitting the studio this Friday (2/5/10). For [...]

Creative Genius By Jeff Stone You ever listen to “Weird Al” Yankovic? Is the guy just crazy, or is he a creative Genius? I say it’s a little of the former and mostly the latter.

Live Long and Prosper By Jeff Stone It’s Star Trek Season; what can I say? Don’t worry; no spoilers here, but if you haven’t seen it yet, stop reading right now; stop practicing your dang Faro Shuffle, and get out there and watch it! Seriously; I can wait.

If you’ve been on this planet for about 25 years or more, then you should know who coined the phrase, “Live Long and Prosper.” This is a very common Vulcan farewell expression. Of course the most famous Vulcan is Mr. logic himself, [...]
