Some of our friends.

Hello friends,

We really like it when we get to know a little bit about you. It’s very easy when you visit us face to face in our show room. It’s not so easy in cyber space. But every now and again, it does happen. And when it happens, we feel fortunate.

Our two new internet friends are Jim & Gabe. I just want to say hello to them.

Jim Spinnato has been shopping with us since we started our website. He is a comedy magician/mentalist and hypnotist from Connecticut. http://www.jimspinnato.com/

While I haven’t seen Jim perform, I hear through the grapevine that his act is very good.

Jim was recently at Foxwoods playing poker and he started chatting with one of the players at the table. Jim told this guy what he did for a living and it didn’t take long for Ronjo to come up. It turns out the other guy is one of our local clients (I do wish I knew who he was). Of course Jim sent me an email about his visit to the casino.

There is another connection here. I find myself at the tables at Foxwoods on a regular basis. One day soon Jim & I will be competing against each other (if we haven't already) at the table. This really shouldn’t be a surprise, doesn’t everyone play cards on the side? So I say to Jim, You had better protect your chips. I want them in my stack! Or maybe I should let you keep some of them so you can continue to shop on our site?

Another one of our new friends is Gabe Abelson. Gabe is a subscriber to our e-newsletter http://www.ronjo.com/magic/subscribe.html. Gabe was one of the few to really get involved in our last promotion. He has taken the time to write about 3 dozen reviews for mentalism products that he is passionate about. Gabe takes mentalism very seriously but his true love
is writing. He loves to write reviews, and, in fact, used to be a movie reviewer. Not familiar with Gabe’s work? Yes you are! Movie reviews are only a small part of Gabe's impressive writing resume. Check out IMDb http://imdb.com/name/nm0008589/

Gabe Abelson is a four time Emmy-nominated writer for "The Late Show with David Letterman." Gabe has also served as staff writer for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher", and "The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn", in addition to having served as Producer of "The New Tom Green Show". Gabe has also written for numerous award shows, and produced pilots for MTV.

Gabe it was nice talking with you. And thanks for all the reviews. Now if we could just get a few of our other friends to do the same. Because we get so few reviews, I tend to think that many of the ones on other websites, magic or otherwise are bogus?! I wonder.

Jim & Gabe, thanks for allowing me to tell the rest of the world a little bit about you guys!

Until next time,

Pete

Black Tiger Gaff Deck Only $30.00
This deck must be used in conjution with either of the following decks Black Tiger , Black Tiger Deck - Red Pips
It's the ultimate resource for Black Tiger Deck owners — the pinnacle of innovative routines for using the Black Deck. The Black Tiger Gaff Deck features an entire deck of specially designed cards custom-made for use in routines and effects. Each card was designed with a specific use in mind, but the possibilities are undeniably endless.

The Bicycle® Black Tiger Deck has become the choice for many magicians who want to make sure that people stand up and take notice of the magic they perform. For 4 months the Ellusionist team has worked on creating cards that could ENHANCE the usefulness of your Black Tiger Deck —they have created much more.

The Black Tiger Gaff Deck contains 56 unique cards that have the same high quality look and feel as the original deck, including the new UV500 finish that makes the deck feel so good in your hands. The Gaff cards are made from the same stock and finish as the original deck so that these cards will fit seamlessly in with your regular Black Deck.

Here is a small list of just some of the cards available:

• Double-Faces
• Double-Backs
• Different color backs
• Artistic concept cards
• Blank Faces and Blank Backs
• and much much more...

The possibilities are absolutely endless — each of the 56 cards possesses an eerie feeling that will immediately activate your creativity.

While some of the cards were intended for specific uses in magic effects (such as A Dream of Aces by Gary Ouellet), others are just objects to inspire innovation.

There are also artistic cards that have been designed for effects that are only limited by your imagination. For instance, during the Vietnam War, the USPCC (United States Playing Card Company) sent decks of cards to the soldiers that ONLY had the Ace of Spades in it, because the residents of Vietnam considered this card superstitious. Now, you can tell the story, and actually SHOW your spectators why it's called the Death Card.

Using the two Gaffed Jokers that we've supplied you can now set a card aside and have your spectator select a card, and then show that the card that you set aside is indeed a prediction. A quick sleight and all of a sudden you can show that your Joker's prediction is now face up, showing that the two selections match. This is just ONE of the uses of these cards!

Using our incredible voodoo card, you can create an aura of incredible wonder. Start with Burned (from Street Magic) to set the mood, and then show them your Voodoo Card. Get them to select a card and then sprinkle some needles on the card. After a wave or two, the needles have vanished, and now appear to have penetrated the Voodoo Doll, and upon closer inspection, their selected card is tattoed to the chest of the doll!

There are so many possibilities with these cards that we would need a lifetime to describe them all.

Interested in creating your own magic? Have a look at Jay Sankey's Create Your Own Magic! Mr. Sankey will share with you some of his secrets for coming up with original material.

Whether you perform close-up, stage, mentalism or children's magic, on this innovative DVD Jay teaches you how to bring more of your SELF in your magic while discussing 28 key creative principles behind unlocking your own unique "magic imagination." As an added bonus, Jay has also included four outstanding new routines!

SYKYS - Holy Moly!

Hello friends,

Wow SYKYS by Bazar De Magia is by far the greatest "Watch Prediction" effect there is.

Of the oh so many watch tricks we've seen, SYKYS leaves them all in the dust.

SYKYS is a cool innovation and actually keeps time. Yes, it is a real watch! We worked over 3 years designing SYKYS, and the outcome is breathtaking. This is a truly diabolic magic weapon.

You can predict four different pre-defined times (not a sequence). You perform the illusion while the spectator holds the watch with his own fingers. The watch can be examined before and after the performance. SYKYS is self contained, nothing else is needed to perform with it. No magnets are used. Perform 17 routines by Max Maven, Trevor Lewis, Rick Bloch, Fantasio, Tony Binarelli, Anthony Blake and others.

Since it’s a real watch you can wear it as your regular watch. The perfect impromptu-"show-me-a-trick" kind of trick.

One year warranty SYKYS is build upon a fine-quality and fashionable watch.

Yes at $295.00 it is a little on the expensive side, but if you look at the price of a real "nice" watch 'um, excuse me time piece, this is a freakin' bargain.

After all a normal watch ONLY tells time.
SYKYS - STOPS - TIME !

You've got to see the demo video. It will knock you flat!

Just imagine taking it off of your wrist and doing this to a group of your friends. Think about how badly their heads will spinning when you are done. Think about if were really possible to do this, it would look exactly the same. SYKYS provides you with the ultimate power.

Take care,
Pete

Why you need a quality close up mat.

Hello friends,

For those of you that have never used a close-up before, I know you feel there is no need for one. And for the many of you who do use one, I know you think that all mats or even a carpet sample are created equal. I'd like to share my wisdom with you.

Even if you don't do anything that warrants the use of a mat in the traditional sense, the presence of a mat on your table serves alternative purposes. It becomes a focal point, a mini stage if you will. Rather than the whole table, this is your personal space.

Believe it or not it also subconsciously, deters " The Grabbers." These are the folks who want to grab the props right out of your hands before during or after your perform an effect. When a prop is on your mat, they know not to touch. Move it past the edges and it becomes fair game for "The Grabbers." Perfect if you want them to examine something and they may even think you didn't offer it to them! If they are thinking of anything other than figuring out what ever it is that you just did.

Why else do you need a mat? They make it easy to pick up cards (ex: the method in which you must pick up the gimmicks for Michael Skinner's Ultimate 3 Card Monte. To silently drop a palmed coin or to load a coin into an Okito Box without talking. To dislodge effortlessly a Chop Cup load. To hide a prediction or duplicate card or coin under the mat for a later reveal. Even to just do a simple card spread. Try this stuff on a wooden table and you know it can't be done.

The importance of a quality mat. Our mat surface is a soft nylon. The very same surface used on many casino quality poker tables. The surface will not wear out like many other mats on the market and they won't get the colored flocking material on your hands and under your nails like some other brands. The thick rubber backing grips what ever surface you are working on. Some cheap mats either do not have a rubber back or the texture of it causes slippage. We offer a far wider range of colors, sizes and shapes than any other maker and can make custom sizes for you. Our mats are hand washable and guaranteed for life never to separate.

In no particular order, here is a short list of some of the pros that use our mats. I bet you have heard of most of them. Darwin Ortiz, Steve Wyrick, James Swain, Doc Eason, Criss Angel, , David Roth, Eric DeCamps, Lennart Green, Bob Fitch, Johnny Thompson, Dan Fleshman, Stephane Bourgoin, Simon Lovell, Terry Lunceford, Bill Malone and Steve Dacri.It's no wonder why we call them the Magician's Choice TM Performance Mat.

So now you know. Get one today! Just click the link below to see all the styles.

All over the world...

Hello friends,

We don't mind tooting our own horn once in a blue moon.

Back in late 1999, Ronjo showed me an unusual device. It was telescopic rod (closed about the size of a pen) with a hinged, pivoting mirror on it. He was trying to create a new type of card revelation with it. He had the perfect prop and a killer concept, but the idea was incomplete and it needed quite a bit of rethinking.

After playing around with it for a while, I came up with some funny things to do with it.

We put our heads together and a new trick was born. PEEK A BOO!

Peek-A-Boo by Ronjo
Have them rolling in the aisles! A spectator selects a card and is asked to stare at it while you attempt to "read their mind". In the meantime, you take out your Y2K magic wand (actually a telescoping silver wand with a mirror on it). Tell them to concentrate while you try to get good reception. You extend the wand, turning it into an "antenna". Now you place it behind their head and draw them in close for a better transmission. For the first time everyone but your spectator can see the attached mirror.

You try to get a clear view of the card. Everyone is laughing hysterically except for your spectator. Your spectator will be curious as to why they are laughing. Your volunteer will try to turn around and see what you are doing but you will always be one step ahead of them. After the laughter subsides, you show that the back of the mirror has a label printed with the chosen card! This is a very funny bit that is a sure fire hit!

Peekaboo Includes 10 assorted card stickers with a hysterical routine.

Over the next few years, we quietly sold them here and there in our showroom and a handful by mail order. It is not the prime in store "demo" item because the routine plays best for a larger group and it is a time consuming effect. Getting a group together for a five minute demo between phone calls, deliveries and other customers all for an $8.00 trick, just doesn't happen too often.

Anyway, those who have purchased this effect get a lot of mileage out of it. I used this at a High School Prom I was working at and this effect was well received by the entire student body. And I loved doing it!

This little prop really does get a lot of mileage if you are into comedy.

Anyway 6 months ago, one of our distributors picked up our little gem of an item. It has since become a staple in the magic industry and can now be found in almost every magic shop and magic website on the net.

Would you believe I found one online dealer in Australia selling our product for $35.00 in Australian funds? That's about $27.00 in US$! More than 3 times our price. Wow.

yesterday I found 3 blogs from magicians about Pee A Boo. Two were from Japan and the other one from Australia.

For $8.00, you have a full 5 minute (or less) sucker routine that uses audience participation. It plays well to any size audience, from 2 people to a full theater. It can even be done one on one but you will loose some of the comedy and the sucker effect will not be the same. Its great for restaurant magic, kid's shows or adults. And it fits in your pocket. What could be better?
So if you didn't get your yet. What are you waiting for? The entire hysterical script even comes with it.

Thanks for reading!

Kate & Edith is back and better than ever

Hello friends,

Some years back Kerry Pollock released a jumbo card effect called Kate And Edith.
For $30.00 you got four custom printed 3" x 6" plastic cards and a routine.

For the few who actually took the time to learn the included elaborate patter were rewarded with 5 minutes of non stop laughter, a thunderous applause and the magician gets a prized adult routine to cherish for ever.

For the many who did purchase the original version, I believe that the adult story line proved to be too difficult to remember in accordance with the handling of the cards and many folk thought that the routine itself would not been worth learning as the target audience for the effect would be far & few in between to warrant the work involved.

JUST MY OPINION!

Well friends Doc Eason has revamped the effect for the very reasons I listed above. The new plastic cards will last a lifetime are even bigger this time, 5" x 7". The cards have the character names printed right on them, so you can't confuse, Kate the Queen of Clubs with Edith the Queen of Spades and Stanley is printed on the King of Hearts just for cosmetic reasons.

No printed instruction either. Now you can remember what to say, what to do and how to do it, they way you want to present it with the supplied DVD is a comprehensive tutorial.

See below for all the details with live performances, teach-ins, PDF files & I-pod audio files.

It features rhymed patter, which will have the audience rolling on the floor. The routine has been thoroughly audience tested in comedy and magic clubs all over the United States.

During the routine the King of Hearts is removed from between the Queen of Spades and the Queen of Clubs three times. Each time he manages to reappear. Finally, he* vanishes* in a cloud of laughter!

You receive most complete tutorial possible. Scripts from Dan Garrett, Doug Slater, RJ Owens and Doc Eason are included in pdf form so that, once you have chosen the version you want to use, you can download and print it.
Doc talks about several different methods to memorize the script.

In addition, they have included an audio file of Doc’s script which you can download to your iPod to learn it that way.

They have also included four live performances: one from Kerry, one from RJ Owens and two from Doc. These views give you a chance to see how the routine plays in front of real audiences.

The DVD covers the handling, care and feeding of the props, and cautionary notes about when not to do this routine, as well as additional tips from Bill Palmer, Bob Escher and a clever reworking of the script by Doug Slater and Paul Landry. Comes with four Jumbo Cards, including the special gimmick. The cards are made of sturdy plastic, so they should last a lifetime.

So even if you have the original version, you simply must get the new one. For under $50.00 you will get to use and learn an entertaining piece comedy of magic that you and your mature audience will fully enjoy.

This really is a show piece, get one. You will be glad you did.

Thanks for reading.
untill next time,

Pete

Shipping information and massive shipping discounts for our international clients

Hello friends,

I wanted to explain in detail how we here at Ronjo Magic work harder to try to save our international clients some money with expensive shipping fees.

Our automated system shows various shipping options and prices.
These options are Fed Ex International (various options), USPS Air Mail Parcel Post Insured, and USPS EMS Mail.

In many cases, when you order these options are the only options available.

And while many of you choose USPS Air Mail Parcel Post because it is the cheapest service, what you don't realize is that the major draw back is that there is no tracking available and from our experience, this service is the most likely to be held in customs for extended periods of time and no further information is available to us. We have to wait either 30, 45 or 60 days depending on your country before we can start the paperwork for a claim for a loss and on top of that, we will need you to submit to us via snail mail a signed and dated statement for the loss.
My advice to you is to avoid Air Mail unless yo do not mind waiting .

EMS mail does have tracking and is usually fast. The only draw back is that the tracking number is not in real time. In many cases you can try to track your package and get no current information. 99 times out of 100, your package will be in your hands before the online tracking us updated by the US Post Office.

While Fed Ex is pricey, but they have instant tracking and they have their own customs house, so packages clear fast (in most cases) and they have door to door service.

So now you know the services we offer you, I'll tell you about Global Priority Mail. This is a great inexpensive service with tracking. There are many reasons we can not offer this great option to you at checkout, but if we are able to send this package to you with this method, we will and in the end this service will save you money!

Global Priority Mail is not available in all countries.
We are limited to send a package that is a maximum of four pounds.
We are limited to send this package in 1 of 4 pre approved USPS packages. (each package has different rates, but all less than any other shipping method).
If indeed we can send your package out via Global Priority Mail, we will ship it and capture the lesser amount to your credit card. Typically the entire cost will be between $5.00-$15.00. We purchase insurance separately through our postage provider, about $1.00-$4.00.

For example, if you lived in the UK and ordered one $35.00 DVD, EMS Mail insured would be about $22.00 and Air Mail insured would be about $19.35. We would would verify if we can use Global Priority Mail severs to your address and make sure it could fit in on of the pre approved USPS packages without going over the 4 lb maximum. In this case, we are able to. The costs are $10.50, $9.50 & $5.25. We would put it in the smallest possible Global Package. In this case the cost is $5.25 plus $1.60 insurance for a grand total of $6.85 in shipping. For faster service with tracking. We just saved you $15.15! And we are glad to do it. We want you to keep coming back to us.

We send all international packages out marked as gifts, so this may help you with other import fess, duties, taxes, etc. As we do not charge or collect any additional fees, we can not be sure how much if any your government may or may not charge you. Your best bet would be to ask your local customs agents if you have any questions on other potential fess.

Thanks for reading.

Until next time,

Pete

The thumb tip pocket is also designed to carry a standard sized invisible thread reel, complete with a reinforced eyelet secretly positioned at the back of the pouch!

The Assassin's Pouch even includes one of the cleanest coin vanishes in all of magic. Just drop a magnet in the bottom of the pouch and (thanks to the out-of-sight shelf at the base of the pouch) you're all set to make any steel shim coin vanish without a trace. A complete vanish that's also completely angle-proof!

The Assassin's Pouch. Don't leave home without it!

Note: Marker, magnet, shim coin and thread reel not included.

So load up and get out there, make some money and put smiles on their faces!

Until next time.

The Great Flood

Hello friends,

On Valentine's Day, we got a nasty ice storm around here. When it all melted much of the water found its way in though the side of our building through an old electrical conduit pipe. It flooded part of the Ronjo Magic warhouse, which in turn damaged some merchandise.

We thought we found all the damaged products which thankfully was only a few hundred dollars worth of things. Silks (bleeding colors), Card Tricks (badly warped) and some other minor props.

A couple of days ago however, we found that the leak spread over to the next isle and doused a few dozen books. Some very expensive, so not so much. But it still stings.

Several titles were brand new titles (titles by Patrick G. Redford), others were items we recently got in that we have been out of stock for some time ( from Mark Strivings, Paul Osborne, Terry Nosek).

A good chunk of these titles are "hard to come by", we have to place larger minimum orders, we have to pre pay and or the distributors are hard to reach. Some titles we import from other countries.

We have already placed reorders for some of these, for some others we have to wait on.

If we decide to go to our insurance for this, it should cover these losses. If not, we may have a special sale on all of these books. Many of them did not get completely soaked. The covers only or the first front and or back few pages may be warped a bit. But a good many of them are readable without too much damage, we just can't sell them as new.

We'll let you know soon if we decide to have a sale on salvageable items.

Thanks for reading.
Pete
