Scroll to the bottom of the post for a pro-tip from Loran, regarding the conference of Eberhard Riese, author of the book “Foundations - The Art of Stage Magic."
A great video to get you in the spirit of the 9th edition of the Festival de magie de Québec coming up May 2nd to 5th! It is full of reminders of some of the extraordinary promotions from previous years. (I don't remember seeing the gag at 1:06 before. What fun!)
If you're attending, please share the event's social media hashtag so that we can all follow along!

Montreal: David Stone Lecture
From the Montreal Magic Jam:
Monday April 22nd
[Note that this lecture will be in French, but David will do explanations in English as necessary]
After the amazing success of The Xperience Lecture tour in 2012 with over 183 lectures in 19 countries, the crazy David Stone is back!
This new lecture will provide exclusively strong magic tricks with cards, coins, and varied objects for close-up conditions just as pen, bottles, glasses…
For those who already know David, no need to say the lecture will be a real show with dozens of gags and ideas you will use for your own performances. Among the brand new tricks you will discover :
- Mirage : Learn how to Visually and slowly make a deck of cards vanish !
- Zenith : The « Card on the ceiling » effect completely revisited, safer and easier than the classic version. Finally you will get David secret version of this classic effect, a version he kept for his own performances for years. A masterpiece of close up magic !
- A new gimmick as powerful as «The Tool » that will allow you to perform dozen of tricks completely different. A new weapon for the close up magician who want to refresh his repertoire.
And much more ! Over 14 new effects and routines tested on real audience and ready to amaze your own spectators. David will also talk and explain how he performs in close up situation on stage for audience as large as 2.000 spectators and how to deal with this kind of situations.

From Webinar Jam:
Sunday, March 10, 2019
This sixty-minute webinar, with Michael Close, will provide strategies that will help you overcome your fear of palming.
Palming is one of the cornerstones of card magic. But many magicians, even experienced practitioners, shy away from tricks that require palming. As part of this training, you’ll learn FOUR commercial routines you can immediately add to your repertoire. And much, much, more!
This information will be useful to magicians of all skill levels, so we are offering it at a very low price. Our webinars require no special software; you participate through your browser, and you can ask questions during the presentation. Registrants will be able to replay this webinar as often as they want.
