How many times can I blog about Andrew Mayne?

Hello friends,
How many times can I blog about Andrew Mayne?
I guess as many times as I please.
His releases are so creative I just can't help myself.
Ghost Vision is his latest and it can be utterly disturbing if presented in the proper context.
He explains a few variations for magicians or mentalists where the image of a selected card or word appears on a photo of a spectator's hand or elsewhere. The image only appears in the photo and not actually on their hand.
But the real work of taking a photo or moving video of an entity is sick and twisted. This would scare the daylights out of everyone.

But you can't have an audience know you are a magician or the effect will be weekend, so this is sort of a catch 22.

But if you do a seance and using your or borrowing someone's camera or people will freak.

The DVD comes with complete explanations and a gimmick. Also explained is a bonus effect using a borrowed key chain.

Take care,
Pete

Davinci - Zone

Hello Friends,
Boy if every I wanted to break the rules and start tipping the method on something. The Davinci Zone is it. But I won't do it.
The method is so extraordinary, that I want to tell you all about it. But I can't.
Be assured the description as listed for the item is NOT at all exaggerated. Everything is plain, simple and accurate. It is so impossible looking, it will all seem real. But real it is not, in fact it is so tricky, that one would expect the boys at Tenyo to come up with the device that lets you derive the information. But the quality of the devices and the effect itself are way out of Tenyo's league. Not to mention that the device is not drawn attention to in anyway. To the point where there is no device. This is a mentalist's dream and a gadget guys prize.
It is worth every cent and then some.
Until next time,
Pete

A visit from Candice Night

Hello friends,

Singer, song writer & friend Candice Night of Blackmore's Night stopped in for a visit.

If you don't know Candice, you will surely know her better half, British rock legend Ritchie Blackmore. Creator, song writer and lead guitar player of Deep Purple & Rainbow.

Last time we saw Ritchie was over the summer.

For more than the past decade the very original rock/renaissance music of Blackmore's Night has been continuously in the studio & touring the world.

Though one of Europe's most popular bands, and while they reside on Long Island NY, they are not widely recognized in the USA. That's a shame because they really are outstanding. In my opinion, Blackmore is at the pinnacle of his legendary musical career. But I must admit, I was not a fan right away. Their music is so different than any other style you have ever heard and letting go of the Blackmore that I grew up with was difficult. You just can't compare a song like Death Alley Driver or My Woman From Tokyo to Way To Mandalay or Under A Violet Moon. That said, the newer tamer material is edger, with more of a hook and more enjoyable to me now than my favorites as a teen.

If you are not familiar with their music, I highly recommend you pick up at least one of their CD's. Ghost of A Rose is amongst my favorties.

Keeping some of his past band members and friends close, such as Ronnie James Dio, Ian Anderson & Ian Gillan, they frequently write music and or lyrics and appear as guest musicians on some songs.

Ritchie Blackmore is also an amateur Mentalist and a huge fan of Bizarre Magik.

Ritchie's favorite magic device is the Standard Size I.T.R.. He carries this on him more often than a guitar pick.

Candice Night some years back was to do some modeling and for us for our Genii & Magic Magazine ads but her music carrer put her modeling on the back burner.

Until next time.

Thanks for reading.

Things are looking up for Jonathan Pendragon

Hello Friends,

Apparently Jonathan Pendragon is doing much better. He was transferred to a private room in the hospital and recuperating well.

He's got staples from his sternum to his navel left from the operations for the puncture wounds.

He is reported to be feeling much better than he has in the past few days and he is now breathing on his own.

He expects they will release him in just a few days.

True to show business, the show must go on and he does indeed to plan on performing on Oct. 12th in South Carolina.

Although he is forbidden to lift anything over 10 lbs and this will be channeling.

Anyway we are happy to hear the good news.

Until next time,

Pete
