Kaufman Books - REPRINTED for Limited Time!

Hey everyone!  As usual, in between my daily chores of processing orders and answering emails, I like to pass on any magic related news to you guys.  And since I am a BOOK WORM, this was of particular interest to me!

Richard Kaufman has put out some of the BEST (and most popular) books in the magic industry.  The only problem is that they sell out so fast, and it takes a long time to reprint them.  We're talking YEARS in some cases.  Well, I'm pleased to announce that the following books are now REPRINTED and available for purchase!

This is "the" classic in the field of bizarre magick. As Mr. Burger shows us, magic can be more than trivial entertainment, and a temporary escape.

If you are thinking of performing at a seance or simply wish to take your magic to new  heights, Strange Ceremonies will help you find true north.

Price: $38.80 (+4 Reward Points Earned!)

Gary Kurtz was a creative force of the 1990s, and he pioneered many plots and techniques that had never before been explored. In this thin but dense volume, you will learn outrageously clever sleight-of-hand with coins, cards, and more.

Pay particular attention to "Name it" in which a spectator's name appears on her card, and "Attraction", which is a dazzling animated finger ring effect.

Deal of the Week: Monty the Spiv by Matthew Garrett - DVD

THIS DEAL EXPIRES THIS FRIDAY THE 24TH AT 11:59PM!

WAS: $30.00
NOW:  $24.95 + 2 Reward Points Earned!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  Today is always our BUSIEST day of the week, and that means I will be working my butt off, making sure we get all of our customer orders shipped out quickly!

Before I lock myself into "Work Beast Mode," I wanted to share with you a DEAL OF THE WEEK.  Every now and again, we work with our suppliers to offer you a greater discount on items which have been on the market for awhile.  These are BRAND NEW ITEMS, but for whatever reason, may have fallen off the radar or been completely missed by most people.

So this week, we are discounting MONTY THE SPIV by the ultra talented Matthew Garrett!  This is a 2 HOUR DVD focusing on card effects and manipulation.  It's also AUDIENCE TESTED, performed in a live parlor setting!

While the main effect on this DVD is suited for parlor settings, the actual flourishes that Matthew teaches is worth the price of the DVD alone.  Take a look at the demo video and you will see what I mean:

http://www.mjmmagic.com/store/monty-the-spiv-by-matthew-garrett-dvd-p-10958.html

In addition to our Deal of the Week PRICE CUT, you will also EARN +2 REWARD POINTS with this purchase!  As always, those can be used to discount money off your next order, simply for purchasing this item!

Hurry though!  This item will go back to normal price on Saturday, so make sure you add this to your shopping cart and purchase before 11:59PM on this Friday night!

THE EFFECT: The effect is you open a brand new deck of cards. You show the card in their new deck order. You shuffle and cut the pack and then tell a story using the cards. Despite the shuffles and repeated cutting of the cards throughout the routine all the cards turn up at the correct place in the story. Repeatedly as you tell the tale, you genuinely lose a card in the middle of the deck and find it again. You are able to include fancy cuts and flourishes during the course of the trick. Every card in the deck is used as you appear to show a mastery of the cards in a highly entertaining routine.

Suitable for beginners and experts. Includes Matthew's original "new deck order" gimmick cards.

You will be taught the 360 version allowing you to show the card back and front in most of the phases.

What is The Sting?
The Sting is a stage routine for the classic ring flight effect. What separates this from other ring flight routines, is Lou's work to make it play for audiences of thousands of people. Instead of a simple "here's your ring - now it's gone - now it's on my keycase" routine, Lou has weaved a believable story around the routine that is accessible to every audience.

Lou explains every tip and trick that he has gleaned over the thousands of paid performances to flatten out your learning curve and get you up and running asap. Everything from the right clip to use, the best ring flight device to choose, how to manage the audience volunteer on stage and how to get the most response from that volunteer and even more from the audience as a whole.

Price: $99.95 (+10 Reward Points Earned!)

MJM Magic: Official Authorized Dealer for Legacy Thread and Trinity System

I'm proud to announce that MJM Magic is an OFFICIAL Authorized Dealer for the Legacy Thread and the Trinity System.

If you perform with Loops or with Invisible Elastic Thread, then you know how important it is to have reliable bands and thread to use.

Well, Legacy Thread is outstanding, and it's highly recommended (and used) by top performing magicians who make a living doing this stuff.

The Trinity System is a tool which allows you to make your own Invisible Elastic Bands, which are essential to any IET performer.  If you want to make your own bands, get the Trinity System.  If you just want to have a spool of high quality invisible thread, then pick up a pack of our Legacy Thread.
