All Hits...No Filler

Hi Guys,

Whilst England’s footballers seem to be doing well (?), here at Alakazam we have some exciting new additions to our list of stock items, something for everyone!

“Iguana” by Bazar de Magia is far more than a trick, way beyond a gimmick and much more than you can imagine. This versatile prop is a worthwhile addition to any working repertoire and will make your performances look like real magic. Speaking of real world magic check out the new three volume set of DVD’s from L and L Publishing featuring the magic of Steve Dacri. “No Filler” contains material that has been shaped, honed and audience tested until every last bit of entertainment potential has been explored. Truly commercial magic that your audience would love to watch and that you’ll love to perform. Highly Recommended. These two new products and others can be found by visiting our website http://www.alakazam.co.uk/

Finally if you are ever about in the Ashford area, why not come and visit us in our showroom? We have a superb display of magical goodies, tricks and DVD’s all waiting to be perused and we can demonstrate almost any effect from our huge stock line. Whilst in the area you can also pay a visit to The Card Collection who have the largest collection of playing cards in the Europe as well as an assortment of other goodies.

Cheers!

We've got more new tricks than Ronaldinho!

Hi Guys,

As England makes steady head way(?) in the World Cup, we here at Alakazam have been slaving away through the heat to bring you the best in top quality, cutting edge magic.

We have some superb new items that are receiving some great reviews including the new Peter Eggink effect ‘Exit’, an ultra cool version of the increasingly popular effect where a borrowed key vanishes only to appear on a lace around the performer’s neck! The key is actually tied to the middle of the lace in a knot! Has to be seen to be believed! Also in the super new releases is ‘Passing Through’, coin in bottle just got 100% better (if that could happen, which it has!), and not only that it is easy to do! Could it get any better than this!?

The new Alexander DeCova DVD’s are on sale now featuring some superb material from one of the great masters of modern close-up magic. There is also one volume dedicated to work utilising a thumb tip, suitable for the beginner and experienced professional alike. These can be found along with other goodies in the Hot list Section of our website www.alakazam.co.uk

Finally for those of you that are interested in taking your magic and mentalism to the next level, check out the new releases ‘Geist’ and ‘Sleight of Mind’, books dedicated to elevating your performances and effects in to the realms of seemingly real magic. Highly recommended.

Cheers!

We've Not Mentioned the World Cup Once (oh...Damn!)

Hi Guys,

Wow! The weather is glorious here in Ashford, blue skies and not a cloud in sight! Lovely!!!

On of the best sellers this week has been the long awaited Heirloom Bonus Pack. Within the Heirloom Bonus Pack you will find new routines as well as the photos you can use to perform versions of Kollosal Killer and Heirloom. Some of the photos even contain the cards needed for John Kennedy’s Mindpower Deck and Bob Cassidy’s Chronologue. For those of you that already own, and know of, the strength of Heirloom this would make a worthwhile addition to your close up arsenal. Highly Recommended!

For those of you who like that something a little spookier, Spirit is this week’s runaway winner. This was one of the biggest sellers at Gary Young’s Top Secret Magic Day over the last weekend and quite frankly it is superb! Imagine all the power of the Haunted Deck but with no magnets, wires, threads or other extraneous gimmicks. Spirit can be added to any deck you use and is a killer!

Finally look out for the astonishing Dodeckadeal from John Archer, as featured on the Educating Archer DVD, which will be available shortly along with some other great releases from Alakazam. Remember all of the above items and many more can be found at our website www.alakazam.co.uk, or by calling us in the shop on 01233 637888, or e-mailing sales@alakazam.co.uk

Cheers!
