Frosted Pip

Fantasize the most baffling Card to Impossible Location and you just might get the sense of the power of Frosted Pip. The pip of a selected card appears inside of an ice cube. The pip is really inside and not on the bottom for an optical illusion. Add this to the effect that the performer melts the ice cube in a hand! This effect will be your closer for years to come!

9/11 Have You Forgotten?

Have you forgotten that morning?I woke up today remembering my dad waking me up and telling me what happened. For the next three hours I sat on the steps in the basement just thinking to myself O my God. So what about you? Do you remember where you were at . That was the day that for me I sat back after it was all done and said to myself that I am going to be true American.

Never forget that day and the people who lost there father,daughters, mothers and sons. And also do not forget why we have troops fighting for us in war everyday for our freedom. To me that is true magic.

May God bless you and may God bless America.

A Super night

Well what can you say about a master magician? Mike Super is a great entertainer. It is great to finally get to see someone who gets that the magic effects are just tools and we are supposed to entertain first.

I was really looking forward to seeing his show last night. I have never seen him live only on TV. I was hoping that his hole entertainment feel was not just for TV but in his show as well. Let me tell you it was. I do have to say that he is the first magician (expect for Copperfield) where I just sat back and enjoyed myself. There was a few hundred college kids there last night and they we entertained and at the same time in Ah of Mike's magic with everything from making a bowling ball appear to his voodoo effect. If you ever get the chance to get to see his show I really think you should make the time.

Mike it was great to meet you and keep up the good work.

Mike is a man who I can tell enjoys magic and life and so I will leave you with this like I always do. Enjoy magic and enjoy life.

Flourishers must grow up

So I have noticed that magic is all focused on nothing but card flourishes right now. Do not get me wrong I do and like doing card flourishing but it does not pay the bills. To me there are so many kids that just because that can hold 18 packets of cards in between there fingers they think that they are just like me. I hate to tell you that YOUR WRONG.

I really do think that someone should teach on how to use the flourishes in the right way instead of standing at a table in a restaurant just showing off. PEOPLE do not care about how you are in love with the buck twins. So do flourishes but do them in the way that they should be used and that is to just dress up your card magic and that is it.

Remembering A Master Magician: Harold D. Russell

So what do you say about a great magician, friend and man? Harold D Russel was one of the best guys I have ever known. Last week while I was gone Harold passed on from here to a better place.

I love it when I hear all kinds of stories about Harold. Sometimes I feel that I have known Harold forever just because of the stories. Harold gave me one of my first big breaks in the St Louis market with close up magic. I will always thank him for that.

Harold always went out of his way to help others and was just a great guy. You can click here to hear more about one of the biggest nights in his life and what others had to say about a great man.

Harold you will be missed here but I am sure that were ever you are at you are making people laugh and amazing them all. Thanks for all of the good times and memories.

It is because of him I say Enjoy magic and Enjoy life because Harold always did that.
