Fancy A Pot of Jam?

Hi Guys,

The James Brown DVD “Fancy a Pot of Jam?” is now available for pre-order on our website. This superb DVD features some of James’s powerful, real world material. A master of misdirection and audience management, James has covered every nuance and subtlety as applied to his working repertoire. Real world magic from a working performer’s perspective. Highly recommended.

Speaking of powerful magic check out these great new items, ‘Can-tastic’, ‘Calling Card’ ‘Break the Habit’, and the fantastic new range from David Regal. With so many new items arriving each week keep up-to-date by visiting us on www.alakazam.co.uk . Our Stealth Assassin is still selling extremely well. For a review of this product check out Duncan Trillo’s review on Magicweek.

Not only have we been busy with filming, but the shop has had a makeover too!! The paint has been flowing, the drill has been whirling and the whole shops looks superb. If your ever in Ashford pay us a visit, you’re always welcome.

Magic Magazines

Hi Guys,

The last week or so has been extremely busy for us here at the Alakazam. We have recently filmed one of the rising stars of British close-up magic James Brown whose unique and versatile performing style will be featured on a future DVD release, available from us. Those that witnessed the performances he gave to laypeople whilst filming can testify to the strength of the material performed and, as the DVD will show, how well it was received. Can flawless technique be presented in a charming and entertaining manner without any of the magic being lost? James Brown is proof that it can!

I have noticed recently how much fantastic material and ideas can be found in the magic magazines that are currently available. MAGIC, GENNI and more recently MAGICSEEN offer so much information to magicians of any level. It surprises me how many people that do not know of the wealth of material that is being left un-discovered within the pages of these magazines. I would recommend that anyone who is looking for that novel twist on an old routine, new sleight or just general updates on the world of magic will find it in those periodicals. They can be purchased from us here at Alakazam, and we also take subscriptions to all three details of which can be found by checking http://www.alakazam.co.uk/

After The Blackpool Magic Convention

Hi Guys,

Welcome to this weeks blog! This had started off as a weekly feature but the shop has been so busy the last couple of weeks it seems to be in fortnightly editions!

Blackpool was a resounding success as usual with many of our new releases Trilogy, Equinox, Jinx and the superb John Archer DVD’s going down a storm. May I take this opportunity to thank all those customers that crammed our stand for the three days, hope you enjoy the goodies you purchased!

For those customers that ordered from us on 13th March and didn’t receive their orders may I take this opportunity to apologise for the delays. The industrial estate that we occupy had to be evacuated on this date due to a fire hazard within the unit next to us hence no orders were shipped out to customers. Those customers that are waiting should only be delayed in receiving their parcels by a day.
