Tricks R Us!

Hi Guys,

Whilst some of our customers are away on their holidays, or otherwise enjoying the glorious weather here in Blighty, we at Alakazam have been busy working on new effects due for release and making sure that you are brought the best in Magic from around the world.

‘Entourage’ is a superb new packet effect from Gordon Bean. This pocket miracle from one of magic’s most creative and fertile minds, is a must for all those magicians who want to fry their audiences with strong magic without all of the work. Stocks are going fast, so order yours today!

We have recently added a new addition to our PDF downloads. ‘Kennedy Killers’, by British mentalist Kennedy, features top mentalism from one of the UK’s rising stars of magic. This long sought after publication can now be yours by visiting our download section at www.alakazam.co.uk

STOP THE PRESS!!!

New to our bookshelves, three new publications from Jack Avis and Lewis Jones ‘Ahead of the Pack’, ‘Encyclopaedia of Impromptu Card Forces’ and ‘Seventh Heaven’. These three books contain superlative magic with playing cards of the highest order, for every skill level. These two gentlemen reveal the devilish thinking behind effects that have garnered them a reputation with such luminaries as John Ramsey, Al Koran, Alex Elmsley, Ed Marlo and Dai Vernon.


Remember if there is ever an effect that does not appear on our website, why not give us a call to see if we can get it for you. We can advise you of stock availability, delivery times, prices and even try to help you find those difficult to locate items. Give us a call today on 01233 637888 or e-mail sales@alakazam.co.uk

Scorchio!!

Hi Guys,

Well, even though the weather has been scorching, and at sometimes unbearable, this has been a great time for all of us here to take the time after work, have a drink and chat about all of the exciting things we have in store for all our valued customers.

Dai Vernon an autobiography by David Ben is one of the latest editions to the Alakazam stock range. A colourful, exciting and interesting story about one of magic’s greatest characters and whom many consider to be the father of modern close-up magic and theory, this is a must read for any magician. Vernon’s life story is told in parallel to what was happening in the world around him at the same time, as well as being littered with stories concerning other well known magicians of the time, including T. Nelson Downs, Houdini and Max Malini. This book is highly recommended.

As most of you are aware, Alakazam specialise in mostly close-up and mentalism effects, although our extensive stock range caters for all forms of magic, including children’s magic and cabaret. One of our newest editions is the Shoulder Dragon, a small life like puppet that fits on your shoulder and can be manipulated by the performer to move his head, open his mouth and swish his tail upon command. This puppet is extremely well made and would make a worthwhile edition to any children’s entertainers, ventriloquists, or comedy magician’s repertoire.

Finally, more and more PDF downloads are appearing on a weekly basis. These downloads feature material from Peter Nardi, Mark Elsdon, Richard Bellars and Luke Jermay, much of which has never appeared anywhere else. These downloads contain fantastic routines and effects suitable for anyone, whatever your skill level. Order yours today by visiting www.alakazam.co.uk

Even the Crickets Rubbish!

Hi Guys,

How sad it is that England is now out of the World Cup. A shadow was cast over the shop when the final result was in, and all seemed lost. Fortunately a ray of sunshine peered it’s way through in the way of Italy’s win over Germany last night (Tuesday), I’ve never seen Peter so happy, unless you count of course after Blackpool Convention!!!

Recently, whilst on an outing to the local Curry establishment with my fellow work mates, we got on to the subject of new releases and the amount of new magical talent coming on the scene. One such name that cropped up was that of Kevin Parker, the brilliant mind behind Passing Thru, Canz and Nexus. This gentleman has created three truly outstanding effects that require little effort to perform yet leave your audiences awestruck. There are other new releases due from Kevin, and these will appear in due course on our website www.alakazam.co.uk.

STOP THE PRESS!!!
