I will be returning to the Beverly Wilshire hotel to present a limited run of "Chamber Magic: A Demonstration of Modern Conjuring." For the past seven years in New York, I've presented this salon-style magic show in the tradition of Hofzinser and Robert-Houdin. It is held high above Manhat...

There is one more Tenyo item (4 in total) that mentalists will enjoy.

Sorry gentlemen, but I don't have (and have never owned) any props built by Tommy Wonder. I've never performed any version of the Nest of Boxes. Not sure how I got mixed up in this? Thank you, Dick, for your kind words about my show Chamber Magic. As we've discussed privately, Mark Levy and I came u...

Here's a quick translation of the Japanese map directions: Take the Hibiya line or Tozai line to Kayabacho station. Use exit 1 or 2, which are located at the end of the Hibiya line platform. At street level, walk 30 meters to the traffic light, and turn right. Magic Land is in the third building fro...

I haven't seen it yet, any comments from those who have?

I haven't seen his show, but I've definitely seen the text from his homepage before. Most of it is directly copied (without permission) from the homepage of my website chambermagic.com

The pronunciation of David Devant's last name rhymes with "can't" (American usage). I always assumed it would be pronounced De-vahnt, but was proved wrong at The Magic Circle in London. They have a room on the second floor devoted to David Devant, and all of the Circle's top officers and m...

If you've been thinking about buying Chamber Magic tickets for Chicago, LA, San Francisco or Houston, this may be your last chance! My national tour starts this week. Bring a layman with you and enjoy an exquisite evening of parlor magic and mentalism. Tickets to all shows are available on my websit...

According to Keiichi Yamamoto's 1986 Tenkai Prize book concerned with the history of Japanese magic, the first recorded magic performance in Japan was held in April 1680, by the magician Miyako Ukin in front of the shogun Ietsuna. In his program, Miyako Ukin performed the following tricks: the produ...

This summer, I'll be going on a national tour with my show Chamber Magic. The tour will be in conjunction with the release of my new book, Win The Crowd, which will be released by HarperCollins on June 14. In each city, I'll perform Chamber Magic at a five-star hotel and a booksigning at a local boo...

We are looking for someone in New York City to usher my show Chamber Magic at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Dates are December 3, 10, and 24. You will be able to watch the show (for details, click <a class="postlink" href="http://www.chambermagic.com">http://www.chambermagic.com</a>...

I also received Genii without a DVD packed inside. The plastic wrapper was intact - no tears. Maybe there are more subscribers who experienced this problem?

To make more space for baby #2, I'm letting go of dozens of Tenyo items. Auction price begins at $9.99 each, which is half of retail for most items, and less than half for others! All are new, and sealed in original packaging. Some of these Tenyo items are direct from Japan (with Japanese packaging ...

Dr. Sidney Ross used to be the house magician at the Waldorf-Astoria over 50 years ago. He was probably the magician described in the NY Times article. Harry Lorayne told me stories about watching Dr Ross perform in Peacock Alley restaurant close to 60 years ago - you can read about it in Apocalypse...

Just a last-minute reminder that "Chamber Magic" will be opening this week at the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco. I hope to meet some of you there. It's a great date night, even if your significant other thinks she's seen enough magic!

In addition to Jim Maloney's excellent NYC magic lists, my show Chamber Magic runs every Friday night at the Waldorf Towers hotel. Last month marked the 3 year anniversary of this show. We don't advertise it, but reservations are required. For details, please visit my website: <a class="po...

I use the Earick one-handed bottom palm all the time in my work. The nice think about it is that your right hand can be reaching for something else while your left hand is palming the card. (I try to avoid bringing my hands together if the only reason is to perform a move.) You can also drop your le...

Hi, Mark. One way to reduce the number of children in the audience is to charge a higher ticket price. Parents won't think that your show is a babysitting alternative when the ticket price is significantly more expensive. Also, I've found that enforcing a dress code helps to suggest that the show is...

If you visit Magic Land, ask Mama-san if the show "Let's Magic" will be playing during your stay. When I lived in Tokyo, the show ran once every 6 or 8 months at the Ginza Shogekijo. I understand that they still produce this show at least once per year. Past performers have included The Na...

Yes, Dubai is an amazing city. I have been invited to perform my Chamber Magic show there. It is certainly one of the most lavish locations in the world. Burj al Arab is the world's only 7-star hotel - every room has a private butler, and every room is a duplex suite. Anything that looks gold is act...

I leave for SF tomorrow morning, and hope to meet some of you who live in the Bay Area this week. "Chamber Magic" runs from Wednesday through Saturday at the Ritz-Carlton. Since the shows are in the evenings, I will have time (on certain days) to meet up and talk magic during the daytime. ...

Steve Cohen

Chris, I'm delighted that you enjoyed Chamber Magic. The show may have one new routine included by the time I get to San Francisco. Otherwise the content will be the same as last time. Of course since it is a live show, *every* show is different because of the interaction with the audience! I honest...

Please note that there are seven (!) not four items released by Tenyo this year. Three of them are items that have been created by American inventors (Steve Dusheck, Doug Edwards, Dan Harlan). Tenyo fans... rejoice! There are some very nice items this year.

Robert,
The San Francisco dates are available, but tickets must be purchased by telephone - directly through the Ritz-Carlton. My website only allows you to buy tickets for the NYC shows. Thanks for pointing that out, and hope to see you there!

I'll be returning to San Francisco to present "Chamber Magic" from November 19 through November 22 If you are in the Bay Area, I hope that you are able to come in to the Ritz-Carlton for a fun and uplifting evening of sophisticated parlor magic. Thank you to some of the Genii Forum members...

I'd like to offer a reminder that "Chamber Magic" will be running at the San Francisco Ritz-Carlton for only 2 weeks, starting this Thursday. I hope you can come -- we still have some seats left. After the late show, I'm happy to meet up at the bar to talk shop. (Gerry McCambridge and Bana...

Thank you for your warm reception! Yes, the Chamber Magic show does have a dress code. Most guests wear cocktail attire, but dressy casual is okay too. Here are some guidelines: "Cocktail Attire means short, elegant dresses for her and dark suits for him." "Dressy Casual usually means...

I am constantly chided by my Orthodox friends for holding "Chamber Magic" in NYC only on Friday nights. And my being a "Cohen," no less! On a different note, when I appeared on Martha Stewart's television program, she asked me (off-camera) why so many magicians were Jewish. Then ...

I have completed writing the instructions for the four Tenyo items that Richard referred to in his post. You may find it interesting, however, that there are actually five Tenyo items in the 2003 line. The fifth item is delayed in production, and I have not yet received it from Japan. It will probab...
