Hot New Preorder Items, + Free Bonus With Orders!

This is hot off the press......literally. I just burned myself on this piece of information.....THAT is how hot it is! We want to briefly tell you about a couple new items coming soon, and a free trick that we're giving away with all qualifying orders. Keep reading!

We just got word that a LIMITED SUPPLY of new items will be coming in, and we wanted our MJM customers to have first crack it it! Check out these two new preorder items.


THE VORTEX PRINCIPLE - DVD

Demo Video: http://bit.ly/hebbKL

The Vortex Principle is based around a cunning and versatile device which is as useful as a Topit but you don’t have to wear a jacket, a tie, or a sleeved shirt. It will give you the edge you need with coins, finger rings, poker chips, keys, etc.

This is a TWO DVD SET with Gimmick Included that will teach you everything you need to know about the Vortex Principle, as well as demonstrating killer routines and effects to use with the gimmick.

LIMITED SUPPLY - We are only getting a small handful of these, so please act fast if you want one. You can pick it up here: http://bit.ly/hebbKL



THE ULTRA VISION PRINCIPLE - TRICK

Product Info: http://bit.ly/hzLnEh

This is the ultimate item for mentalists. In the words of Martin Breese, "it is a gimmick or a device that enables you to perform true miracles. It is probably easiest of all to take a typical effect for which it can be used."

It is a special system for marking things, and the possibilities are endless with what you can do with the Ultra Vision Principle. From psychometry effects to ESP effects, you have a full arsenal of things you could do with the Ultra Vision Principle, whether you're performing on stage or right under their noses!

ALSO LIMITED! This one is even more limited than the Vortex Principle, and should sell out faster. You can pick it up here: http://bit.ly/hzLnEh



FREE ITEM - AGE CARDS WITH ORDERS OVER $30.00

It's official - the holiday season is upon us! We love this time of year, because it's the season of giving, and we end up giving a lot away!

While supplies last, the next qualifying orders over $30.00 will get a FREE AGE CARDS effect! This is something that you can carry with you, in your pocket, and bust out at a moments notice. Or you can give them away as a free gift yourself during this holiday season.

EFFECT: It's based on an old principle, but it never ceases to amaze anyone you perform this on! You place 6 cards with different numbers on them in front of a spectator. The spectator merely points to the cards which show his age, and you can immediately reveal the spectator's age. Or hand spectator the cards, and have him hide the cards that display a freely selected number and discard the others, and you can still reveal the number. No sleight of hand, or difficult memorization! Works every time with any number!

If you go to the front of our website, you will see a counter showing how many are left. Don't let the number fool you. If you see that there are still a lot of these left, and think to yourself, "Ahhhh no worries, I have time to place my order," be forewarned. A lot of people seem to scoop up our promotions quickly and one minute, there will be 10 left, and within 30 minutes, they could be gone.

So here's what you need to do:

1. Place an order with us through our website: http://www.mjmmagic.com
2. If you put $30.00 or more into your shopping cart, we will automatically include the free Age Cards trick!

That's it! There are only a few rules and regulations.

Promotion Rules:

  1. This doesn't apply to any orders placed prior to 11/30/10 at 10:00am, nor can we extend this after we have given away all of our units. Sorry, no exceptions. Thank you for understanding.
  2. The promotion only applies to SINGLE orders. You cannot place two separate orders of $15.00 and then get the $30.00 freebie.
  3. The $30 spent cannot include shipping, tax, or discounts. An order of $25.00 with a $5.00 shipping charge doesn't qualify because you are only spending $25.00 in merchandise. Likewise, an order of $30.00 prior to using a 10% discount coupon will not apply because you are not spending the full $30.00 in our store.
  4. If this item is added to your shopping cart automatically, but then you fail to meet any of the above rules, we will manually remove it from the final order if you don't spend the minimum $30.00 after shipping or discounts are factored in.
  5. Once all supplies are gone, the promotion will abruptly end.

As usual, if you have ANY other questions about this, please contact us by using THIS FORM

If you can't read this email, or it's incorrectly formatted in your email program, you can read the full promotion online right here:

MJM Thanks the Veterans


Today is Veteran's Day in the USA, and I just want to thank each and every person who has put their life on the line to protect our country and the freedoms that we have.

I'd like to share an article published this week in a large newspaper here in the Bay Area, which features a write up on my uncle Frank Lopez. He was a marine in the Vietnam war, and he is working hard to get a memorial erected in San Jose to honor all the local boys who lost their lives in that war.

I thought the piece was very well written, and I got to see some old photos of my uncle that I've never seen before:

http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_16578057?nclick_check=1

So thank you, Uncle Frank and the rest of the men and women around the world, who have served this country and many who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Using Wish Lists for the Christmas Holiday!

Now that the holiday season is upon us, we want you to take full advantage of one of the greatest features of our website: your MJM Magic WISHLIST!

What is a Wish List? It's a way for you to tell others what items you want. This is especially important when holiday gift-giving is about to happen. Imagine that instead of telling someone what you want, you can email them a quick and simple link which shows all the items you'd like to get, and what priority you want them in!

So how does it work?

STEP 1 - Log into your MJM Magic account. If you don't have an account, you can create one by filling out the New Customer form right here.

STEP 2 - Browse through our website. When you see an item that you want, simply click the "Add to Wishlist" link.

When adding an item to your wishlist, you can assign a PRIORITY to the item. So if it's something you really want above anything else, you can let your friends and family know by changing the priority setting. This will inform them of items that you want more than others.

STEP 3 - Telling your friends and family about your Wish List! Now that you have items in your wishlist, you want others to know about it. You can share your wish list with everyone by doing one of two things:

1. You can email them one at a time using the Tell A Friend link. When you click that link, you can enter their email address and have it send them the link to your wish list. The advantage to doing it this way is that it's all done through our website, and you don't have to do anything but type in their email address. The disadvantage is that it only emails one person at a time. So if you want to send it to multiple people, you need to enter in each email address by itself and submit the form once per email address.

2. If you want to email a BUNCH of people at one time, you will need to email all your friends and family on your own, but you can give them a direct link to your wish list. Your unique wish list ID will look like this format: http://www.mjmmagic.com/store/un_wishlist_find.html?wid=XXXX

You simply would replace the XXXX with your four digit wish list ID. To find out what your wish list ID is, simply hover over the Tell A Friend link and you will see your ID at the bottom of the screen.


Now you can email that link to people in a mass email. Your friends and family can go to that link, see all the items you want for the holidays, and purchase it directly from us by adding it to their shopping cart and proceeding to our secure checkout area!

If you have any further questions about how to use our Wish Lists, please let us know. I may film a live demonstration and post it in a future post to further show you how easy (and time saving) this feature is.

Happy holidays!

Free Masuda DVD Catalog for Qualifying Orders - Limited Time!

It's no secret that some of the most visual magic is coming from Japanese magicians, and top on the list (in my opinion) is Katsuya Masuda. If any of you have purchased his best selling WOW effect, you will know exactly what I'm talking about.

With the release of two new Masuda Magic items last week, we want to do something special for our customers. So starting right now, the next 100 orders over $30.00 will get a free Masuda DVD catalog which we will ship out to you. This DVD catalog features all of the greatest Masuda Magic items, and it's amazing to watch how innovative and visual their magic really is.

If you go to the front of our website, you will see a counter showing how many are left. Don't let the number fool you. If you see that there are still a lot of these left, and think to yourself, "Ahhhh no worries, I have time to place my order," be forewarned. A lot of people seem to scoop up our promotions quickly and one minute, there will be 50 left, and within hours, they could be gone.

So here's what you need to do:

1. Place an order with us through our website: http://www.mjmmagic.com
2. If you put $30.00 or more into your shopping cart, we will automatically include the free Masuda DVD catalog!

That's it! There are only a few rules and regulations.

Promotion Rules:

  1. This doesn't apply to any orders placed prior to 11/7/10, nor can we extend this after we
    have given away all of our units. Sorry, no exceptions. Thank you for understanding.
  2. The promotion only applies to SINGLE orders. You cannot place two separate orders of $15.00 and then get the $30.00 freebie.
  3. The $30 spent cannot include shipping, tax, or discounts. An order of $25.00 with a $5.00 shipping charge doesn't qualify because you are only spending $25.00 in merchandise. Likewise, an order of $30.00 prior to using a 10% discount coupon will not apply because you are not spending the full $30.00 in our store.
  4. If this item is added to your shopping cart automatically, but then you fail to meet any of the above rules, we will manually remove it from the final order if you don't spend the minimum $30.00 after shipping or discounts are factored in.

Prepare Now for your Holiday Gifts!


The holiday season is fast approaching. Folks are already making plans for their Thanksgiving feast. Retailers around the country are decorating for the holidays. Okay, maybe it’s a bit early. However, it is not too early to start stocking up for the holiday sales rush.

Most of us, if not all of us who are in magic started out with a magic set that we found under the Christmas tree or as one of the gifts we received during Chanukah. The point here is, that we were introduced to MAGIC at a very magical time of the year!

We learned cups and balls, ring on string, card effects and in some cases if you were lucky enough to get one of the bigger sets, a mirror box. We would spend hours entertaining our aunts, uncles, grandparents and siblings. As the months would pass and the weather warmed up, we would create magic shows in basements or backyards and treat the neighborhood kids to all the tricks we now had perfected.

Those early shows, performed with a towel wrapped around our necks as a cape and our grandfather’s hat to serve as a top hat, introduced us to the one thing that we loved to do... Perform magic.

As the holiday season approaches, wouldn’t it be a good thing to pass those wonderful feeling of being able to amaze and fool family and friends with magic on to the next generation?
MJM Magic has a TON of magic sets to choose from. From Pocket Magic Sets to the Ultimate Magic set with over 300 magic tricks. Check out the selection and get them onto your List for the holidays!
