People tried to break our site (and it backfired on them)

 

A quick update on our brief site slowdown!

Our site was attacked by an onslaught of connections, but it backfired and made us even faster and stronger!

So what happened?

Imagine walking into your local grocery store, only for a flash mob of hundreds of people to suddenly swarm the aisles, blocking the doors and jamming every single checkout lane. Nobody can get in, nobody can get out, and you can’t even reach the cereal aisle.

That is pretty much what happened to MJM Magic over the last 24 hours.

Except instead of hundreds of people, we had over TWO MILLION automated bots suddenly try to squeeze through our virtual front door all at once.

CHECK OUT THE GRAPHIC HERE:

You can see how things were operating nice and smooth, until BAM!   Attacked!

As much as we’d love to believe 2,000,000 new people suddenly decided to buy magic tricks overnight, these were automated bots trying to overwhelm our server. When bots lock up server resources, legitimate visitors get stuck waiting for pages to load.

What We Did About It

When presented with a challenge, we don't sit back—we fix it.

We’ve deployed an extra layer of defense in front of our website. If you now notice a quick, 2-second screen asking you to confirm you’re human when you visit, that’s our new "bouncer" at the door keeping the bots outside.

Since turning it on, site speed has restored, and the vast majority of malicious traffic has been cut off completely.

Now, we are more prepared and our initial tests show that the site seems even faster than it was before (thanks to the blocking of these connections).

JUST FOR LAUGHS:

A young artist is exhibiting his work for the first time, and a well-known art critic is in attendance.

The critic says to the young artist, "Would you like my opinion on your work?"

"Yes, of course," says the artist.

"It's worthless," says the critic.

"I know," says the artist, "But I'd like to hear it anyway."

Over 40 Effects. Only One Gimmick.

 

Any playing card. In the blink of an eye.

After over two years in development, countless prototypes, and more paper cuts than anyone should reasonably endure, Javier Fuenmayor and Lloyd Barnes produced what many consider the definitive single-pocket card index: DEX. A complete 52-card index with an impossibly slim profile, it carries like a small wallet, subtle enough to disappear into even the most Millennial pair of skinny jeans.

CLICK TO WATCH THE VIDEO ON THIS PAGE!

DEX is built around speed. A thoughtfully angled layout and an original no-counting system mean that the instant a spectator calls a card, you've already found it pure muscle memory, no hesitation. No scrambling. No mental gymnastics. Just immediate access to any card, in any deck, whenever you need it. Invisible Deck, B'Wave, and a wealth of other effects become part of your everyday carry without the burden of hauling around a bajillion gimmicked decks.

Each DEX is carefully hand-assembled and tuned to strike the right balance between durability, flex, and wearability. But the hardware is only part of what you're getting. Also included is a nine-hour masterclass from Lloyd and Javier covering more than 40 effects, key sleights, practical performance insight, and imaginative applications well beyond playing card. We're talking  billets, envelopes, tarot, and more.

DEX is a system built to clear the obstacles, cut out the compromises, and leave you fully present in the moment of magic.  This is what an index looks like when nothing is sacrificed and why DEX has set the standard.

You'll Look Like a Super Genius

Rain man, but make it magic

The Savant Deck ​was designed by Craig Petty and Lloyd Barnes with one idea in mind: make the performer feel like they have superpowers. With this being one of our bestselling effects of all time

In one effect, a spectator shuffles and cuts a deck. They take the cards they cut off and spread them face up on the table. You turn to peek at them for a split second, but that's all you'll need. Immediately, you tell them the sum of every card's value on the table. 

Or have an audience member take the deck and shuffle it as much as they want under the table. They take a card and hide it in their pocket. The rest of the cards are returned back to the box. Instantly you know the exact identity of their card.

Or perform any of the other 10 routines featured in the 3+ hours of instruction. These diverse routines cover incredible feats of mentalism, pocket change predictions, book tests, ACAANs, and more! 

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE TO SEE IT IN ACTION!

This shouldn't be possible with just one deck. Especially not a deck that the audience can handle and examine. But with the Savant Deck, you'll have to learn to predict the impossible.

"Amazing!" says the wife. "But... I don't understand. Yesterday the doctor said she only had a few days to live!"

And the husband says, "Well, I don't know about yesterday, but today the doctor told me to prepare for the worst."

MJM MAGIC SERVER WENT DOWN

The bad news: Earlier this morning, we awoke to our worst nightmare: the entire MJM Magic web server was non-responsive.

The good news: Our website and services are fully restored.

Our hosting provider experienced a severe data center cooling malfunction, which triggered an automatic safety shutdown to protect server data. This caused a downtime of many, many HOURS. Yikes!

The facility has resolved the issue, and our team has verified that all systems are stable and running normally. Thank you so much for your patience!

NOTE: In case you don't already, if you have a Facebook account, be sure to follow MJM Magic here!  That was the only way we were able to communicate with our customers, since Facebook wasn't affected by this data center issue.

Leave the Audience Wanting More with this Effect!

 

'One more trick' you say? 

Every magician knows how a great performance ends: with someone asking, "Just one more."

Fiedler's Flier is built for exactly that moment. It's quick, direct, and practically effortless to perform, while leaving audiences with an unforgettable finale.

Spread the cards and invite a spectator to place a joker anywhere in the fan. They simply remember the card sitting next to it. That's all there is to it.

With a snap, their card has vanished from the deck. The card box, which has been sitting in full view from the beginning, is opened to reveal that it now contains their selection.

WATCH IT PERFORMED ON THIS PAGE!!

Self-working and ready to go again in seconds, Fiedler's Flier is equally at home in professional performances, casual gatherings, or whenever your audience insists they need to see "just one more."

The Most Impossible Mentalism Tool

This looks too good to be true.

The ultimate mindreading tool is finally out: the PITATA Smart Chalkboard! 

This technological development represents the culmination of years of research and finetuning. This is tech that is indistinguishable from real magic. 

You hand out a normal-looking chalkboard, the spectator writes on it with real, ungimmicked chalk. No matter what they write or draw, whether it be a poem, a birthday, a clown, you will know exactly what they've put on the board. 

In real time, you will see what they write, right on your phone. 

As far as mentalism tools go, this is a must-have. You always end clean, and you will blow any spectator's minds.

JUST FOR LAUGHS:

An evangalist is visiting a town. He speaks to a small crowd for fifteen minutes and then says, "Is there anyone here who wishes to be healed?"

An old man on crutches hobbles up to the front of the room. "What is your name and what do you want?" asks the evangalist.

"My name is Fred, and I would like to be able to walk again," says Fred.

"Bless you, Fred," says the evangalist. "Please wait behind that curtain. Is there anyone else who wishes to be healed?"

Another man comes up to the front of the room. "What is your name and what do you want?" asks the evangalist.

"M-m-my n-n-name is P-p-patrick, and I w-w-would like to l-l-lose m-m-my s-s-stutter," says Patrick.

"Bless you, Patrick," says the evangalist. "Please wait behind that curtain."

"Now," says the evangalist, "I would like everyone here to silently pray for those two believers behind the curtain."

After ten minutes of silent prayer the evangalist calls out, "Fred! Please throw your crutches over the curtain!"

A pair of crutches come flying over the curtain.

"Praise the Lord!" says the evangalist, "Patrick, please say something!"

And Patrick says, "F-f-fred f-f-fell down."

Stunning. Simply Stunning. 

You've Never Seen a Magic Trick This Beautiful

Everything about Kirin Dice 2.0 has us flabbergasted. From the refined design of the wooden box, to the devastatingly fooling performance, this is the kind of trick that keeps you up at night. 

Two spectators freely select numbers from one to six. Then you show a set of 6 vibrant dice. Three of them are red, the other three are blue. Those dice are loaded into a beautiful wooden drawer.   

You close the door and snap your fingers. When you open the drawer, the red dice are all now showing your first spectator's number. Repeat the process and now the blue dice show the second spectator's number.

WATCH THE DEMO VIDEO ON THIS PAGE! 

​The locking mechanism of Kirin Dice 2.0 has evolved into a more elegant, ritualistic drawer-style wooden box. When handed to spectators, they cannot alter any numbers no matter how they shake the box.

JUST FOR LAUGHS:

At breakfast, a woman said to her husband, "Honey, I had the wildest dream last night. I dreamt that I saw a diamond necklace! What do you think it means?"

The husband thought about it for a moment, and answered, "Well, you know sweetie, maybe you'll find out what that dream means on your birthday."

Some time later, they were having breakfast again, and the wife said, "Honey, just I had another dream. I was wearing diamond earrings! What do you think it means?"

The husband answered, "Your birthday is even closer now sweetie, so I bet you're going to find out what that dream means!"

The day before the wife's birthday, she says to her husband, "Honey, I dreamt last night that you gave me a diamond ring! Do you know what that dream means?"

The husband answered, "Sweetie, I love you so much, and all I can say is there's only one more day until you find out what all these dreams mean."

The next morning at breakfast, the husband gave his wife her birthday present. It was a book: "How to Interpret your Dreams".

Defacing currency with THIS killer close-up effect!

 

DID YOU KNOW? There are 41 presidents who could have their face featured on legal tender along with countless other historical figures. So, why is it then that we make George Washington do double duty on the $1 bill and the quarter? 

Like everything else in life, it's so that we could do a cool magic trick. 

This is Arraignment. You show both a quarter and dollar bill, George barely able to contain his wooden smile on either. You place the bill in the spectator's hand as you make Washington's visage vanish from the coin. 

When your spectator unfolds the bill, they see that the portrait has been duplicated. Where once there was just one George Washington, now there are two "standing" back to back. 

WATCH THREE VIDEOS OF IT HERE!

You can work with pure sleight of hand, gimmick-assisted handling, or a handling built for maximum visual impact and absolute cleanliness. The methods are modular, so you can separate and recombine them for different conditions: standing, surrounded, or performing for the camera. Each performance can take on a fresh shape.

Perform This Act Fool Us Today

Coincidence at your command

Can you believe it's been almost 4 years since Javier Natera's Fool Us performance debuted? His routine, playing with the theme of coincidence, was equal parts controlled and manic. We watched in awe as he threaded that impossible balance with one thought on our minds: I can't wait to perform that.

Today, Javier's routine is finally available in the form of Synchronous.

WATCH THE TWO VIDEOS HERE!

You cut the deck, handing about half to your spectator. Both of you put your packets under the table and select a card, turn it face up, and slide it into the middle.

The spectator then spreads their cards on the table. The 9 of Clubs is face up. You spread your packet to reveal that you have selected the matching card, the 9 of Spades. 

You then instruct your spectator to bring their packet under the table again and select a new card, while you square your cards and leave them on the table. 

Once again, your spectator spreads the cards, revealing the 4 of hearts face up.

Now, without having ever touched your cards, you spread them again to reveal suddenly the 4 of diamonds is face up! 

Whether you want to portray this as a genuine miracle or an impressive feat of persuasion is up to you, but either way, you'll have

JUST FOR LAUGHS:

A Russian and an American arrive in Hell.

The Devil greets them and asks, “So, which Hell do you want: the American one or the Russian one?”

“What’s the difference?” they ask.

“In American Hell, you have to eat one bucket of feces every day. In Russian Hell, it’s two buckets.”

The American says, “Well… American Hell, obviously.”

The Russian thinks for a moment and says, “Eh, I’ve spent my whole life in Russia. No point changing now.”

A month later, they run into each other again.

The Russian asks, “So, how’s it going over there?”

The American replies, “Not bad. Every morning I eat my bucket of feces, then I’m free for the rest of the day. What about you?”

The Russian shrugs.

“Same as always. Either the feces never gets delivered, or there aren’t enough buckets for everyone.”
