Hello fellow magicians

Hi I'm Chris Curley amateur magician wishing all magicians good luck for the future. I wud like to request advice on all types of magic as I am undecided on which to focus on. As i mainly do card tricks which I would say was my speciality and of course coin tricks so I suppose mainly advice on Close-Up Magic.

Shopping on line

This might be a dumb question, with all the shops out there, but I am looking for a few magic stores online with good pricing. I want to put together a kit to teach children this summer and choose magic that they will use. I find most kids magic kits to have tricks they will never learn or use. They are financially challenged, if that is PC enough to say they are in low income families. If anyone wants to donate used stuff it is tax deductible. I have my non-profit status, and let me tell you, i… Continue

Jay Sankeys Posh.. my version

I first saw this effect in Jay's newsletter, I think it was the Aug. 2008 issue, and I've not forgot it. I am not a master of coins, so I am always looking for a coin routine I can do that makes it 'appear' as if I can perform a trick or two.. This effect, re-written in my own words, fits the bill perfectly...... (This effect was just published in the Magic Roadshow. http://streetmagic.info/eMagic98.html ) What you need.. Two quarters and a S… Continue

Liquid Magic

In April, I will be sending out a study guide to our SAM Assembly members on the topic of LIQUID MAGIC. I have pretty much collected the effects that are being sold by various dealers and addressed those used in standard texts like Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. Right now, I am doing extensive searches on Google and other Search Engines, looking for examples/links on line which will help to back up and supplement the printed material. Any links to liquid-magic bibliographies, individua… Continue

Introduction

I must, to begin, admit to being a semi-luddite. Blogging is new to me. In fact, this is my first attempt. I am a professional magician, IBM and SAM member, living and working in Ottumwa, Iowa.

I am also a published writer and playwright, martial arts instructor, certified locksmith, poet, and a lot of other stuff too boring to list here. Hello, I look forward to communicating with you all. Keep Believing! Bill Bowman (AKA: Willi… Continue

Library Shows 2009

Irwin, I checked with Lord Google and found the following interesting information: It would appear that the librarian's guide has a lot of suggested topics, by month, for the year. I have found a couple of webs where entertainers have used the guide to put together their promotional material to help them get library shows. Also, I found one web which looks like a librarian outline of suggestions. Here they are: http://www.thealmodarrs.com/magiclibraryshows.htm - Check out the "technical/co… Continue
