Criss Angel in Vegas, NYC, Ace Cutting and All That Jazz!

So Criss has got a show. Hells Yes!

You can all see me down there in Summer ‘08, because I will.

In other news, the trip to NYC was great fun, we ate good food and saw some shows (Curtains and The Drowsy Chaperone) and all was fantastic. Before hopping on the acela express back to DC, I stopped by the fairly new Fantasma Magic shop and was pleasantly surprised. Though it is partially a toy store, Fantasma did a perfect job keeping the more pro magic stuff there as well, and the guy was nice, though he did make fun of my E bag.. (it happens…)

Anyways, I picked up a Blue Deck of Magic Castle Playing Cards, as well as a brand new Pocket Bible Edition of the “Expert at the Card Table” (Erdnase). I had seen these for a while, and had wanted to order one, so I was pleasantly surprised to see Fantasma carrying them. Turns out that Bill Kalush and the guys at the Conjuring Center for the Arts hand delivered them over there, and they are fantastic. Pick one up if you can, they retail for $15.00 dollars at your favorite dealer, or directly from the Center at www.erdnase.com (yeah they own the domain, it’s gonna turn out to be a sweet site).

Let’s see: in other news, the uber-talented Buck Twins have started pre-orders of there massive DVD set, The Trilogy, and it is very reasonably priced at $65.00. This really looks like its going to be levels above The System in style and teaching. www.dananddave.com

Anyways, I made a new little video, I really have no idea why, but it is a great little ace cutting routine that can play huge if you want it to, and uses a little known method that is just fantastic (the spectator can cut at any time instead of the magician)

So hopefully that gave you an idea on how clean I think magic should be.
