Monthly Prizes, Return of Scarnecky and The Loss of a Friend

Condolences to the Tom Loveridge Family I’m truly saddened to announce the death of a friend and fellow magi, Tom Loveridge. Tom, a member of the IBM Ring #193 here in Salt Lake City, Utah passed away on Monday (2/6/12) on the day after his 58th birthday. He died during a routine surgery. He was just one of those downright nice guys and will be sorely missed by many. We offer our sincerest condolences to those left behind. You can read his obituary in the Salt Lake Tribune. Scarnecky is Back! You may remember about a year ago, Stone Cold [...]

Dedicated To The Art

Aug 302011

What follows is a crazy idea that I’m clearly not expecting anyone to do. It’s an essay out of my upcoming book (Working Title: Brain Dump). It’s meant to be a thought exercise as is much of the material in the book. As you read the essay below, however, think of the possibilities. Think of how dedicated to your magic career are you. Are you willing to do what it takes to grow your business? Read some of the past No Stone Left Unturned Articles. Enjoy Dedicated To The Art When I read the Paul Harris trilogy, The Art of [...]

Paper Balls Under The Head

Jul 282011

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. Below is one such short essay right from this new book. This’ll give you a taste of some of the weird stuff I’m writing about. It definitely fits the purpose of the Roots and Branches column for sure. As you read this, look for the root and the branch or better said, look for the opportunity to improve your magic. Paper Balls Under the Head Another one of my all-time favorite concepts comes from [...]

Party Goer: “Hey Jeff, show us a magic trick!” Jeff: “Oh . . . I can’t.” Party Goer: “Why Not?” Jeff: “Because. I don’t have my Svengali deck, my sponge balls or my thumb tip . . . duh!” Party Goer: “Um . . . what are sponge balls? Is that anything like Tennis Elbow?” Jeff: “Um . . . No” Hopefully, I’m the only guy in the room who has experienced this. Unfortunately, I know that this just isn’t the case. Obviously nobody expects us to be real magicians and wield real powers. However, even an entertainer/fake magician with [...]

Effect: After working a walk around gig for a spell, you walk up to someone while holding a pack of cards (out of the card case). “Hello sir, how are you doing today? Can I show you something amazing?” He delightfully agrees. “All we need to do is spread through this pack” (spread it face down) “and a card turns over”, (ace of diamonds). The ace is seen to be placed back in the pack face down. “If I place that card back into the pack, all it takes is a moment and the Ace of Diamonds turns face up [...]

Shimshi or Slap Jack

May 312010

This month I played and I mean played with a new twist on the Las Vegas Leaper by Paul Harris. The version is Shimshi’s 10-13-20. I was never a fan of the Las Vegas Leaper because it seemed pointless to me considering it has no plot to speak of. Well neither does 10-13-20 however that didn’t stop me from having some real fun with it. Jeffro pointed out that there were two additions by Shimshi. He felt that one detracted from the effect. I completely disagree. There is one point in the effect where you slap the table in front [...]

Balloon, Blavatsky, Close Up & Connected

This month, we’ve got 3 gems and one grubble. So without further delay . . . meet this month’s victims of my red pen: Peter Harrison’s Connected Madame Blavatsky – A Donna Zuckerbrot Documentary Luca Volpe’s Thought Of Card In Balloon Shimshi’s Magic Up Close Peter Harrison’s – Connected (MSRP: $30.00) Random I-Tunes Song of the Moment – Nothin’ At All by Heart. Well Big Blind Media strikes again. I wonder if this is one of their early productions because the camera work and lighting is no where near the quality I’ve come to expect from a BBM production. So [...]

This month . . . just two folks to review, four videos, and a dang lot of material, so on with it already! Bill Malone’s Malone Meets Marlo Volume III (MSRP: $34.95) What’s better than listening to Vision of Love By Mariah Carey and watching Bill Malone. I say unto you . . . Nothing . . . Unless the Bill Malone being watched is the Malone Meets Marlo series. Does it get any better than that. I say unto you Nay; it does not. This is disk number three of a six disk set. Let me give a brief [...]

Let’s begin this month’s issue of Gems and Rubble with a blast from the past. This is one that I reviewed a couple of years ago on my blog. However, I’ve since removed all reviews from my blog and have moved them here to the magazine. So for the sake of completeness, I’ve included this review – which is a cut and paste from the old blog – of Wrap it Up lest it become lost to the ether that is cyberspace. Jay Sankey’s Wrap It Up (MSRP: $25.00) DVD Quality and Overall Value 10/10: * The cost is only [...]
