We had the honor and privilege of having Cyril visit Murphy’s today.

Cyril hung out with us for a while, talked a bit of magic and posed for some photo ops. He was impressed with the warehouse full of magic, he has never seen so many magic props in one location.

He did say there was a secret but of course couldn’t tell us yet.  So stay tune for more information. I think we will all be in for a treat from Cyril sometime in the near future.

Cyril was here with his friend Enrico Dela Vega from Los Angeles.  Enrico Co Produced the TV show called T.H.E.M (Totally Hidden Extreme Magic) There were 6 episodes that aired and I personally loved the show.  It showed real reactions to magical moments. Cyril was on this show as well as other great magicians.  Here are links to the episodes, check them out.

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.

We had the honor and pleasure of having Mark Mason from JB Magic visit us at Murphy’s this week.

Murphy’s did something we have never done before with Mark and it was a hit.  We hosted our very first Webinar!  What is a Webinar?  It is a mini Seminar that we broadcasted live over the web.  We had a few test Dealers from all over the world participate in this event.  Mark showed us some of his greatest magic as well as his newest trick called Metamorphosis by Wayne Dobson. The dealers were able to ask question to Mark and we all had a great time. 

Mark highlighted the following tricks: Metamorphosis by Wayne Dobson, Blindspot (Gimmick and DVD) by Bob Swadling and JB Magic – DVD, Shoet (Red) by Mark Southworth and Mark Mason and JB Magic – Trick, Hole Sensation by Iain Moran and JB Magic – DVD, No Tear by Mark Mason and JB Magic – DVD, Slither by Rob Bromley and Mark Mason and JB Magic – DVD, Coin Flux by Wayne Dobson and JB Magic – DVD, Solo by Mark Mason and JB Magic – DVD, Word In Million by Nicholas Einhorn and JB Magic- DVD.

There are so many great tricks in the JB Magic line.  I encourage you all to check them out.  They are simple to do but very powerful tricks!  You will find the price is right too. Click here to check out the whole line JB Magic. 

If you are keeping up with America’s Got Talent you know that sometimes they will showcase Magicians.  Some are pretty good and move on to the next round, and then there are some that are not so good and have to go home.  Either way it is great to see magic and magicians on TV showing their stuff. 

Well, the show just kicked off and now it has aired two episodes.  These are the try out episodes to find acts that will go on to compete in Las Vegas.

Tom Durnin, Retired Firefighter surprises the judges and goes on to Vegas.

Illusionists Drew Thomas and Rebecca did a great stage illusion that blew the judges away. They said it was the best illusionist they have seen on the show so far. Drew’s Website 

You can find the full episodes of America’s got talent here so check it out.

We just got in some great and exciting products! Check them out.

Comet by Edo – Trick  I’ve been looking forward to getting this trick in.  Imagine being able to make a light bulb turn on and off with your mind, making a flashlight turn on and off on its own to help you choose a card, add a surprise element to your d’lite routine that no one would expect to see. You can do this and much more with Comet and it is only $75 retail.

 

Metamorphosis (With Gimmicks) by Wayne Dobson and Mark Mason – DVD

Before you hand your sharpie to your spectator to sign their name on the card or coin you show them that you can rub the writing off your sharpie pen. First it is one side, then the other and then with a snap the writing is back.  Very visual, easy to do and great for close up and walk around magic. Comes with the props you need and a detailed DVD instructions.

Other tricks that go great with this: (Ungimmicked) Fine-Tip Sharpie (Black) box of 12 by Murphy's Magic Supplies – Trick, anything using a sharpie to sign a card or coin.

I wanted to announce a few changes to our blog section. 

First, for Dealers, we will be placing the links to the Behind the curtain videos here on this blog section.  The link on our home page will no longer be there.  So, pay attention to these blogs for a behind the scenes look at some of our best products.  You must be logged in as a dealer to view these videos. 

We will be working on getting some other exciting Magic news as well as information about our newest magic products and up coming new releases.

Captivated by Alex Lourido just came in. This item is HOT. It allows you to do many various effects with bottle caps. My favorite is just borrowing two different beer bottle caps and doing a very clean copper/silver type of routine and then handing the caps out for them to keep at the end. The gimmicks allow you to use many different bottle caps and the gimmicks easily fit in your wallet so you are always ready. This is highly recommended and a real worker. It is PERFCECT for the bar magician, magician performing at bars/restaurants, performing at house parties, performing at cocktail parties, etc. You will USE this.

This week we received in the 3 volume DVD set by Steve Forte titled, Gambling Protection Series. Two of the DVDs had been previously released as video and the third DVD of the set is new, never before released footage. If you have never seen Steve Forte you are in for a real treat. If you are familiar with Steve these DVDs will blow your mind. All of the inner circle guys have been raving about this. Steve is the real thing. If you have ANY interest in gambling techniques and just superb card handling you will want these. Guaranteed you will be fooled over and over again.

Exciting news also that the Intercessor (blue/red) by Gaetan Bloom and Kevin James is once again available. The possibilities with this superb utility device are endless.

Other hot releases I've had a chance to look at this week and strongly recommend are Bare Hands Bill Production and Other Bill Effects by Juan Pablo (check out the multiple bill production in the bonus section- superb), Reel Magic Episode 11 (Chris Kenner), and Illusion EFX by Andrew Mayne.
