Madness (Is All In The Mind)

Hi Guys,

Now that the Bank Holiday is over, there are a lot of exciting things happening at Alakazam this week. No rest for the wicked, huh?

The excitement surrounding both the Heirloom Bonus Pack, Spirit by Mozique and effects by David Blaine and Paul Harris has reached fever pitch, it just does not get any better than this!!! My personal favourites from the new releases are the Self Tying Shoelaces, Puncture and our very own Spirit, the most diabolical, cleanest and spooky Haunted Deck effect since Spooked! Also, for those of you that like a good read Power Plays by Mike Powers contains some first class material for the working close-up performer including effects using cards, coins and rubber - bands. To check out all of the above, why not visit one of the biggest magic sites on the Internet, www.alakazam.co.uk


Stop the press!!!


I think Peter’s gone mad!!!

For this week only we are offering all of our customers 25% discount on any DVD’s from our huge range. This offer applies for one week only, so get in quick as stocks are limited and there are some great bargains to be had.

Finally Alakazam will be attending Gary Young’s 10th Top Secret Magic Day in Milton Keynes on Sunday 4th June. Look out for our stand and some great deals for the day, along with some of the exciting new releases.



Cheers!

Bank Holiday - Rain - Surely Not!

Hi Guys,

The awful weather shows no signs of stopping and whilst we sip our hot chocolates between packing orders, I am looking at all of the good effects we have ready to be released.

Amongst the outstanding items ready to grace our shelves are ‘Spirit’ by Mozique a superb Haunted deck effect that uses no thread and requires no sleight of hand and can even be done on the spectators hand and ‘The Heirloom Bonus Pack’ a unique addition for those who already own the legendary ‘Heirloom’or even for those that are looking for that something special to add to their repertoire.

We are fast selling out of the new releases by David Blaine and Paul Harris such as ‘Puncture’, ‘Self Tying Shoelaces’ and ‘Strange Traveller’. These phenomenal effects are so popular that stocks are going the day they arrive!!! Get in quick or be sorely disappointed!!

Finally could I remind customers that we are closed on Monday 29th May, as it is a Bank Holiday. Normal business will resume on Tuesday 30th May. Any customers placing an order over the Bank Holiday weekend will have their orders shipped on the Tuesday.

Have a great weekend and remember all of the above items and other great products can be found by checking out our website www.alakazam.co.uk


Cheers!

Bristol One Day Convention and the Ipswich Magical Society

Hi Guys,

Well although the good weather is still with us, it looks like the best of it has disappeared from our sites here in Kent. I was looking forward to catching a few rays between my daily duties, still I can always save that for Summer!

You may have noticed that the James Brown DVD has been removed from pre-order on our website. Unfortunately it was brought to our attention that some of the material contained on the DVD was similar to material as featured in another performers working repertoire and so it was decided that for ethical and moral issues the DVD would not be produced. May we offer our most sincere apologies to those customers that had pre-ordered the DVD and those that had intended to do so.

On another note we have some fantastic new items from David Blaine, Paul Harris, Andrew Mayne and others now in stock. These include Gut Buster, The Self Tying Shoelaces, Puncture and Strange Traveller, the effect David Blaine uses to clinch business deals. These new items and more can be found at our website http://www.alakazam.co.uk/

Finally I would like to extend my thanks to those people that visited our stand at Bristol One Day Convention on Sunday and the Ipswich Magical Society for their hospitality at a dealer dem we did for them on Monday. I have included a picture of yours truly on Monday night, so now you can put a name to the face!!!

Regards
