Guest Judge, Metalist Max Maven's Book: Prism

While a sizable literature devoted to mentalism was produced in the past hundred years, little has stood the test of time. Among the scant amount that has is that of MAX MAVEN.

Writing under the name of Phil Goldstein, MAVEN has created one of the largest, cleverest and most influential bodies of work in the field, stretching from the latter part of the twentieth century into the twenty-first. His star rose early, with the publication of five slim collections, each packed with innovative and performance-caliber mentalism. More on Max Maven

Bill Goldman Magic Lecture Coming to Wizards Apprentice!

Bill Goldman

For more than two decades Bill Goldman has been wowing crowds throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and the Far East. He has been a return performer for such companies as IBM, Unisys, 3Com, Motorola and Sun Microsystems.


In addition to performing his unique magic on American television and the BBC, Bill's magical creations are performed by many of the World's Greatest Magicians.

"Bill is a professional trade show magician, an
excellent performer, and a very very funny man. Bill
is the creator of Monkey In The Middle, which in my
opinion is probably the best, cleanest, and easiest
sandwich routine ever created. Bill also has many more creative and commercial items to show us. His lecture however is not based on the items he sells. His
lecture is funny, entertaining and can make you a
better performer. Don't miss his lecture May 21, 2008 at Wizard's!

Hello Super-Friends!

Please be our guest at The Wizard's Apprentice Magic Shop 7:00 PM, May 21st for a lesson in "Magic and Entertainment". An evening of education in the "Magic Arts" as taught by Mr. Bill Goldman. Mr. Goldman is in a class of his own. His ideas and approach to magic is second to none. On this very special night we will learn the effects that have supported a career in magic. I had the great pleasure to study under and work with Bill for a little over a year. During this time, I learned how to think "outside the box" and was passed down the little secrets that made my magic BIG! What I learned was a priceless addition to my magic repertoire. Do not miss this rare opportunity. Tickets are on sale right now. Pick yours up, before they vanish into thin air!
See you at the show,
Cheers,
Jack Maxwell

Billy Goldman''s best-selling sandwich effect!
A spectator freely selects a card from a completely normal (even borrowed) pack and signs their name across the face to eliminate the possibility of duplicates. The spectator''s selection is then returned to the pack. The magician sets the deck down and displays two cards from a different deck, which are freely shown then placed on top of the deck face-up.

He snaps his fingers and with absolutely no moves or funny business whatsoever, spreads the face-up cards. Sandwiched in between is one face-down card! When the spread is turned over, the sandwiched card is seen to be the spectator''s signed selection!

-Resets easily
-Straightforward, visual effect
-Ends with an ungimmicked deck ready for your next trick

The Idiot's Guide to Street Magic
Tom Ogden's The Complete Idiot's Guide to Street Magic
Word is that this book is flying off the shelves - get yours now!
Forget about David Copperfield, cruise ship illusionists, and birthday party magicians. They’re so twentieth century. Think cutting-edge magickers like David Blaine and Criss Angel. People starting out in magic today want something edgier, grittier, quick, visual, and maybe a little dangerous. This guide will teach you how to do it! What makes The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Street Magic different from other books is the type of tricks and the thematic presentations that readers will actually learn. Out of the literally thousands of tricks that could have been included, only those that have the greatest impact, both visually and psychologically, appear in this book. It includes:
75 to 100 tricks
200 illustrations, from how-to shots to photos of street magicians at work
Contains something for all levels, from easy-to-accomplish tricks for complete beginners to more challenging sleight-of-hand for those who seriously want to pursue the art of legerdemain
