Re: Castle Friday Luncheon or Saturday Brunch
Hey pal! Friday Lunch and Saturday Brunch are two completely different animals. Both require dressing up, a little. We did recently completely necessarily tighten up our dress code requirements, which now prevents guys in T-shirts and flip flops from strolling in with their kids still wet from the M...

Re: FS: Kevin James Instant Magician
To answer some questions - Yes, it's new. It's made of a material similar to that used in high end Halloween costumes. It folds very small. Ken Scott's version is made from a real tux, and folds as small as a real tux. As the ad says, it starts out looking like a little black bag. You put a deck of ...

FS: Kevin James Instant Magician
Hey, gang! I have a brand new, unused Kevin James version of Instant Magician. It's the version that packs very, very small. Like all versions, it plays very big. It comes with 30 minutes of tips, gags, and routine ideas. It's 6-10 minutes of comedy gold and is most often done to music. How often do...

Re: Zombie Gripe
If we're bitching about Zombie moves, let's also include the one where you set the ball on the crook of your elbow, and it magically stays in place. Possibly because most magicians appear to be screwing it on.

I Need a Duck Bucket
Gang -
The title says it all.
I need a duck bucket for the week of November 17th. I can have it back to you on the 21st. If you have one, or know of anyone who does, I'm looking to beg, borrow, buy, or rent one for a few days.
Cheers,

Re: ”used” illusions
I have acquired a mildly Western themed illusion show, and have several illusions for rent (or, possibly, sale). Most of them were built by high end builders, are in good shape, and John Gaughan has kindly offered to look over and refurbish anything as needed, and, if you want to rent one of them, I...

WMS Room Needed! Are you cancelling? I'LL TAKE YOUR ROOM!
Gang - Dave Cox, here. To spark a memory, I'm the guy who usually demonstrates the swell stuff at the Magic Castle Juniors benefit auction at the WMS. Also, I have an Evil Hypnotist Monkey. My lodgings fell through for this year's WMS, and I'm looking for a room. If you're backing out, have more roo...

Re: Illusions for Lease (or sale)
Hey, gang -
Thanks for all the inquiries. I should have some pictures of the illusions available shortly. We just hit the rainy season here in LA, which, as you can imagine, shouldn't last long.

Re: Best chop cup?

The magnetic features in the balls and the cups are, without exagerating, revolutionary; the way the magnets aren't harmed by warm liquids (...

What's it called? Belly Servante/In your pocket thing...
A few years ago I was delighted and chagrined to see that someone had put out something I had "invented" as a youth - I also "invented" the Mirage Deck, and, I thought, using toilet paper for comedy effect, but those were heady days, my friends, heady days. I can't seem to recall...
