Help Me Win a Contest Before January 20, 2012 What a headline . . . but it’s true. I entered my effect Quarter Bird into the MagicSeen magazine Master Class Contest. If you liked that effect then vote for me. Of course, to keep things fair, here are my competitors, so if you like their effects better, then vote for them: From Magicseen Magazine Issue 42: All the entries for the Masterclass Award 2011 have now been published and we need you, dear Readers, to help us to decide which of the contributions is worthy of receiving the framed Masterclass [...]

The Magic of Business Cards

Dec 302011

Last month the statement/question was, “You don’t have a camera? Really!?” This month it’s “You don’t do magic with your business cards? Really!?” I’m not gonna spend a lot of time convincing you that magic with business cards is critical. However, think of this: you meet someone on a plane or standing in line at the grocery store or at a networking meeting, etc. The guy asks you what you do for a living. You say that you’re a magician (or whatever you call yourself). Then you produce a business card from thin air (back palm or whatever method you [...]

Magic vs. Tricks

Ha! I Tricked you! or That car is Tricked out! or I Tricked my parents into thinking I was at the library Vs. When I saw her, it was like “Magic” or Few moments are as Magical as witnessing the birth of your own child or The Magic of Disney Which one are you trying for? Which one inspires more emotion? I dare say that “magic” is much better than a “trick.” The catch is that the trick is needed to create the magic. The magic is the feeling (a.k.a. Astonishment) that we are aiming for. The trick is merely [...]

Little People

Nov 302011

If you can remember way back when to the days when I released my Stone Cold Magic DVD, you may remember the effect Little People which was also the Free Trick of the month in August 2009. On the DVD, the original artwork shown for this effect was later used in The Saga story, For Sale By Owner (Magicians Only). Originally, however, that image was meant for this effect. This is also one of the effects that I used to audition for Jay Sankey’s Underground Jam. Though I created the effect many moons ago, no saga story was ever written [...]

Blink, Blank, Fully Loaded, Illusions, I'm So Confused

So does Alex Moffat. His DVD Illusion Through Expectation is not just a clever title for a DVD; it’s also a solid mantra for the magi. This DVD, though a bit pricey, is loaded with gems. Let me get my complaints out [...]

May 202011

Early Well folks . . . I was so freakin’ late with the April 2011 issue, that I figured I’d make up for it by publishing the May 2011 issue early. So here it is with still a third of the month left to go. New Stuff I just had a great conversation with Jay Sankey where I was bouncing some ideas off of him. It lead to some clarity of focus on my part regarding some upcoming projects I’m working on. I’ve got a couple of e-books in the works along with a couple of DVDs and a top [...]

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 [...]

What’s Your Market

Mar 282011

Nature never deceives us; it is always we who deceive ourselves. – Jean-Jacques Rousseau Are you elegant? Funny? Mysterious? Sexy? Fast-talking? Many magicians get distracted by their fantasies and never take a long, serious look in the mirror. Sadly, this only undermines their ability to make at least some of their most cherished fantasies a reality. Who you are and your particular performance style should play a large part in determining your target market. Corporate clients are looking for one thing, parents of children celebrating a birthday are looking for another, and the owner of a bar/restaurant is looking for [...]

Houchin and Sankey

Wayne Houchin’s Art of Magic – GEM! Jay Sankey’s Extremely Ambitious – Gem Wayne Houchin’s Art of Magic (MSRP: $35.00) Random I-Tunes Song Of the Moment: For Crying Out Loud by Meatloaf Wayne Houchin is a smooth operator for sure. In a world of extreme “magic” like Criss Angel and low key presentation-less magic like all the Blaine and Angel wannabes, Mr. Houchin is a breath of fresh air. He has a knack for striking that balance between distant mysterious figure and up close and personal down to earth guy. It’s not an easy balance. You see it all the [...]

I’ve been very interested in what he has to say about magic, presentation, and just about anything he’s willing to discuss with us. Basically, this DVD is not meant, necessarily, to teach you effects or methods. It is, however, meant to [...]
