You too can become a magician!

David Blaine, Magician and Endurance Artist™, began his career performing street magic -- up close and personal card effects done to small groups of people on the streets.

Now, you can become a street magician with one of Blaine's favorite card effects from his groundbreaking TV special, Street Magic.

Magic is more than simply knowing a set of skills. It's about the connection and experience made between the performer and the spectator. "See A Card" is one of the most difficult card effects to perform in person, but with a little practice, the payoff is always amazing.

Using this application not only helps to simplify a classic magic technique, it also allows you to create a unique moment of wonder and delight with others that you'll want to achieve over and over again. This is the same ambition that drives David in his ongoing quest to astonish others.

With the precision of this iPhone App, step into David Blaine's world.

I head off to Blackpool for the Blackpool Magic Convention February 18, 2009.  This is a superb convention. I look forward to attending each year and seeing friends from around the world, all the while looking for the newest items to bring to Murphy's. My friend, Danny Garcia, will be lecturing and performing there. (I just spoke to Danny today. Murphy's will be distributing his new book that will be shown for the first time at Blackpool.) Watch for this and other new releases from Blackpool by the end of February.  One item I am particularly excited about is Coinvex 2.0.  If you purchased Coinvex and liked it you will love this.  It's quite good and a great way to bend a borrowed, signed coin openly.  In my opinion, Coinvex 2.0 and Quantum Bender 2.0 are the best ways to openly bend a borrowed, signed coin.  This effect is VERY strong.  My friend, David Blaine, has been using this effect with much success in his daily performances. 

Speaking of David, Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc. was honored to work with David and his crew (Dan White, Doug McKenzie, Danny Garcia, etc.) on the last special.  It was loaded with great magic.  We will soon be starting work on the next special so if you have material that should be considered please contact me in complete confidence as we are always looking for new ideas, effects, etc.
