Thank you for your enthusiasm. This project has kept me sane (relatively) and connected to people, which is important. Much appreciated. Here is the new ad, now with quotes: https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/136730190_3577581689023449_5469966447524822946_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=2&_...

I'm sorry to report that Robin Robertson - author and co-author of several books of card magic - has died of COVID. I wanted to let the magic community know.

RIP, Robin.

It's been a tough time for many people this year. It's hard for me to believe, but in just one week I have earned back my investment in my color-changing knife sets. And the reaction by those that have received them has been extraordinary. As a "thank you," and to make this year a little b...

Wow. That worked. And here's a link for those of you who want to see videos and/or purchase:

From Richard Méndez: I've been watching David Regal's product reviews on Reel Magic Quarterly for years so I feel it's time I do a quick one for him myself. These just arrived in today's post and are so f'n nice but precisely what I've been conditioned to expect from a professional who creates for f...

A year ago, I decided to invest time and resources into manufacturing some items for magicians that would be, to my mind, a cut above. I did not set out to create “collector pieces” that would sit on a shelf. My goal was the opposite – to make available some items of uniquely high quality that perfo...

I've been busy. So has Danny Weiser, and we have something to show you. We've collaborated on a new precision-made utility device and the video - along with the opportunity to get your mitts on the thing - is only going out to my mailing list, for now, sometime in the next few days. It's a pretty ni...

Four people have come forward, so the books are spoken for. Stay well! xo

ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to travel plans changing in relation to current events, some new First Printing copies of Interpreting Magic have made their way to Europe without me. For this reason I will give a discount on the book to FOUR EUROPEANS, and send the book postpaid anywhere in Europe for 50 euros. I...

PLEASE SHARE To lessen the horrors of this time for some magicians, I'm giving away six copies of my book "Interpreting Magic." One needs to enter the drawing on Facebook - here's a link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2804773912970901&set=a.106334676148185&type=3&thea...

Thanks for this. A great trick indeed. And yes, the ring vanish that Copperfield did was the Ringo vanish.

David Regal

The Walt Rollins Ringo has a different plot than the Bruno Ringo.

David Regal

Hi All - When I was a kid there was a trick marketed called Ringo - the Tannen's catalog credits "Bruno" with the effect. Well, it was one of my favorite tricks back then, and now, as an "adult," I realize that it truly is a fantastic effect that combines an unsuspected physical ...

David Regal

Many, many, MANY people have written to me saying "When will the book be in magic shops?" For now, I am the only one selling Interpreting Magic , and for a good reason: I paid for the printing costs personally, and those costs were high - I spared no expense. When I die they'll say: "...

David Regal

Some things came out of the interviews that I'm very glad I was able to record.

David Regal

From the review of Interpreting Magic in today's Magicseen Magazine:

"If the book consisted of only the tricks, it would already be a "Must Buy," but that is only one third of the book's content."
Mark Leveridge

I admit I've been clicking on the Genii website for a few days now, waiting for the November issue and the review of Interpreting Magic . The review, by Francis Menotti, has been published, and here is the first paragraph: "David Regal is not human. Over the hours, no-days-of thoroughly digesti...

From an interview subject in the book, who just received his copy of Interpreting Magic : "Congratulations on a beautiful and fascinating book! There are so many interesting ideas here, and every one has a great premise and script. I can't imagine anyone not being inspired by your explorations....

David Regal

Shipping internationally has become very expensive. It has essentially doubled since my last book came out. Interpreting Magic is large, about 6 pounds, and that $45 overseas shipping charge is actually a greatly discounted rate. For me to ship the book internationally, personally, I would have to p...

David Regal

You are very kind - they are both heroes of mine. I'm glad you are enjoying the book.

David Regal

Yes, it's the same gathering of assets during the "Whispering Queens" portion of the effect - the assets are then put to work differently. An effect occurs at the end that pushes things in an interesting way. By that I mean it is an escalation, the climax, and I wasn't even sure an audienc...

David Regal

Thank you for the kind comments. I am finishing up an order of The Carbonaro Effect in Chicago, so, unfortunately, I can't attend the Genii convention. For now, the only way to get the book is to place an order through my website, where it is instantly routed to a company handling fulfillment (and t...

"I gained knowledge and joy from every page of this book."
Norman Beck - M.U.M. Magazine

The shipping company is now sending out confirmations to purchasers including shipping/tracking numbers. They are doing an amazing, precise job and books are being shipped same-day.

Thank you all.

My new book Interpreting Magic will be available in two weeks. Here is an advance review: INTERPRETING MAGIC Review by Michael Close It has been ten years since David Regal has gifted us with a big book of magic; that book was the wonderful Approaching Magic .

David Regal

And news are getting worse: David graciously cut out some time from his busy schedule to answer my questions on inspiration, creating magic, and his new book. (That's the good news.) Now get this: Interpreting Magic may well be his last book! And David does not feel too young to retire from magic.....

David Regal

Hi All - I am in Chicago shooting the current (and final) order of The Carbonaro Effect . It's a crazy sort of schedule and, somehow, my book is coming out at the same time. The order window was made live briefly so that the fulfillment company I'm using could check things out to make sure informati...

Hi All -

There was an archived file on my site causing some false positives from Norton Utilities. I spent some bucks to clear up the problem, and it should be fine for everyone now. I spoke to my web host and their technicians went over it as well. The site is absolutely safe.

Hi All - My mailing list company threw out my mailing list and my back-up doesn't exist (long story). No worries - it only took 10 years to build. My son has set up a form to subscribe. I only send out about 3 mails a year, and it's always a good deal. Please add yourself - I'm starting over! http:/...

David Regal

I have been busy, but I've planted my ass back in town and will be offering an insane Xmas magic deal to those on my mailing list. To be added to the list, send the message "ADD" to regalmailinglist@gmail.com NOTE: Do this soon.

David Regal

Very few things make me happier than when someone adds his or her touch/creativity/interpretation to something I've put out there, and Ron Timmer's clever sequence will certainly be adopted by many. Nice, Ron.

I don't know if you noticed, but it has been impossible to buy Clarity Boxes on my site for a few weeks now. That is because I sold out. So, for a while I had to watch retailers sell the Clarity Box while I had zero. Ouch. BUT I HAVE MORE NOW. AND THERE'S A PRETTY GREAT COMBO DEAL ON MY SITE. Short ...
