Blackpool Magic Convention...Coming Soon

Hi Guys,

Blackpool will soon be upon us, and as ever we aim to bring you the best in what’s new and hot from the magic world at the world’s biggest magic convention. Not only the best from around the world, but also top Alakazam Exclusives.

‘The Unexpected’ is the first DVD from Marc Spelmann and Peter Nardi covering the genre of Improptu Mentalism. With the impromptu weapons on this DVD you will always be ready when the Unexpected happens! This DVD covers premonition, pre-cognition, metal bending and other fascinating subjects of the mentalism genre and comes highly recommended.

‘The World Renowned Magic of Paul Potassy’ is an insight in to one of the greatest magicians of all time. In this very special DVD set, you’re about to meet an extraordinary man and watch and learn the thoroughly entertaining and baffling material that came of his lifelong love affair with magic. Following each of the performance you’ll be taken backstage and shown the inner workings of these extremely strong performance pieces.

And finally…

Watch out for the following great new products, due out at Blackpool ‘Collared’, ‘Ice Coins’, ‘The Taylor Made Book Test’ and ‘Andy Nyman’s Dead Zone Pro’

Until next time...

Shhh...Come Close....

Hi Guys,

We are very enthusiastic about the new close-up releases we have planned for 2007. It’s a little early to discuss what we have in store for our customers, only to say that it is GOOD! In the meantime allow me to tell you about some of the other great things that have arrived in to our store.

‘It’s All Relative’ by Arthur Trace focuses on a card move called the Relativity Change. This versatile tool can be used to visually transform a playing card into another card, simulate the reversal of a stack of cards and secretly switch out one card for another. Enclosed in the booklet are three different adaptations of the change, as well as six routines featuring the change. In addition, there is an essay discussing how to effectively structure a magic presentation.

‘No Smoking’ by Jean-Luc Bertrand is now available on DVD. This close-up, quick fire routine is based entirely on the paddle move but with an amazing climax which builds to a crescendo. The routine has been especially designed for perfect interaction with your audience. Comes complete with the props you will need to perform what Gregory Wilson calls ‘a piece of mini-theatre’, this comes highly recommended.

And finally we have limited numbers of TV’s Alastair Cook’s lecture notes ‘Beginnings’, ‘The Lecture’ priced at £12.00 and his routine ‘The Postcard’ priced at £17.50. These really are limited stocks and contain some great material from one of the UK’s leading close-up magicians. Once these are gone, there gone! These can only be ordered by phoning our hotline number 01233 637888 and do not appear on our website.

Until next time...
