It's Magical in the Magic Warehouse
Every time I go out to my magic warehouse, I get lost in the magical atmosphere. There are thousands of antique magical treasures...not just equipment, but all kinds of paraphernalia. Posters, displays, books, costumes, etc., all having at one time belonged to magicians of the past. I get so inspired.
My friend Steve Dooley loves for me to do the "Card in the Orange" trick. It is pretty neat. An orange is sitting on the table. A card is freely chosen by an audience member. The card is torn into pieces and burned with the spectator keeping a piece of the card. The orange is cut in half. Inside is a rolled up card... the same card the spectator chose... but with a piece missing. The piece the spectator kept fits perfectly the card from the orange!
Some of the things I find so interesting in my antique magic collection are the old flag tricks... all the flags have 48 stars!
I've been very inspired lately. I've been adding the doves back into the act more.
