Juan Tamariz DVD available

2010-05-07T12:40:00.000-07:00

We've just managed to get some copies of the Juan Tamariz DVD originally issued as part of Joe Steven's Greater Magic Library. These are superb films. Properly made in a TV studio in Kansas, they are packed full of magnificent tricks. If you like Juan Tamariz, then this is a must buy. If you've never seen Juan Tamariz before, then you're in for a real treat. Check out our store under Media.

As we don't have a clip of the DVD available to show you, we thought you might like to see a recording of Juan from Spanish TV (this trick is not explained on the DVD):

Lots of New Magic

We have lots of new magic in stock. Old favourites such a the Money Maker, and Glorpy, to new favourites such as the Boris Wild Marked Deck, Pat Page's Everlasting Rope and John Cornelius' Pen Through Anything. These are all great tricks, that can be performed anywhere, and are totally reliable.

There are many versions of Glorpy and Pen Through Anything available, but most are copies. We sell the original.

The same goes for the Boris Wild Marked Deck. There have been a variety of systems over the years, and until this deck came along, we used the late Ted Lesley's system. Boris Wild has taken Ted's idea, and brought it into the 21st Century. Here's a nice clip of Boris performing:

To celebrate, here's an interesting video clip of David Nixon:
