You Don’t Have a Camera? Really!?

You Don't Have a Camera? Really!?

Sometimes the short and the sweet articles end up being favorites of my loyal subscribers. Today I plan to test that theory. It’s simply this: I’ve seen a load of magic websites that a) look like crap, and b) have no video footage of the performer whatsoever. The Lecture Seriously!? You really don’t have any footage!? In today’s world, with smart phones, and inexpensive camera’s, there is no reason not to have footage on your site. Again, I’m speaking only to those who are seeking to land gigs and clients and to make some money. Obviously if you’re a hobbiest, [...]

ACAANC

ACAANC

I’ll give you three guesses as to what the last “C” stands for in ACAANC. I’ll give you a hint; it rhymes with “rap.” Any Card At Any Number. To paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld, What’s the deal with that plot? Spectator number 1 names any card. Spectator 2 names any number. Spectator 3 counts down to the named number only to find that the card at that number matches the card named. It’s a decent effect. However, many of the methods are way to fidgety and call attention to the wrong place at the wrong time. Additionally, many methods use crazy [...]

Little People

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 [...]

Haunted Again - Is This the End of the Magazine?

Beware of Stone Cold Magic Magazine You may notice that the site is haunted again . . . beware of Black Cats, Bats, Ghosts and much more. Mental Book So . . . slow cometh the mentalism book. I’ve made a little progress and have received some excellent feedback from my team, but we’ve still got a long way to go. I’m hoping to finish before Christmas! Humongous Project I’m sure this will annoy many of you, but I’m puttin’ it out anyway. Next year, I will be undertaking a massive project. So massive that it may actually replace Stone [...]

No Gnews Is Good Gnews With Gary Gnu

Sweats and a T-Shirt

Really . . . Sweats and a T-Shirt. I know. This month’s No Stone Left Unturned is really simple . . . a lesson I learned a while back. I have custom made Stone Cold Magic ball caps that I occasionally where when I’m out and about. Here’s the thing, however. If you’re going to wear a logo that represents your company, what does the rest of you look like? Well, it was midnight. I had to run to the store and get a few groceries for breakfast the next morning. I was sitting around the house in Sweats and [...]

Glowing Review by Dean of McBride School of Magic and Mystery

You can view that review by clicking on the video icon. In honor of his glowing review I’m offering a 33% discount on the e-book that expires this Wednesday (9/14/11). Check it out here: Stone Frixion Fire Brain Dump Currently the working title on my latest book project is Brain Dump. It’s a fitting title certainly and was suggested to me by my friend and fellow magi when [...]

D.E. Triumphs!

D.E. Triumphs!

Effect A card is fairly selected and fairly placed into the deck. Half of the deck is fairly shuffled face up into the rest of the face down deck. With almost no moves whatsoever, the fairly selected card is fairly shown to be the only face up card in an extremely face down deck. What could be more fairly? Requirements For this you’ll need a regular deck of cards, three kerosene-powered flashpots and some mango-scented Baby Wipes (just kidding; only one flashpot is used). I loved this Triumph effect when I first tried it and, after playing with it for [...]

New E-Book On The Way!

New E-Book From Jeff Stone Thank you (both of you) for all of the inquiries about when my next project will be out. I still can’t answer that question, but I can tell you that it will be another e-book. Those seem to strike a nerve with a majority of my loyal subscribers. Additionally, I can tell you this. It’s already in the works and I’m hoping to release it with a month or 2 (but you never know). Additionally, I’ve received permission to publish my modification of a Larry Becker effect (Ace Revisited) as well as my handling on [...]

Ironic Baby, Dead Thieves and Infections

Ironic Baby Well . . . April was a long month and a lot of exciting things happened, and most of them were very magical . . . First as you, likely, know, our daughter Oliveah was born on April 11. We later discovered that her name means “peace.” However, her middle name, Gail (named after grandma), means “Spirited One.” Thus her name basically means “Peaceful Spirited One.” Her nick-name is Irony . . . It’s also, Livey, Liv, Olive, Liveah, and Little O. You can see how cute she is on facebook. Dead Thieves I’ve got my Google account [...]
