Hey guys! This is my first post on this blog, I’m very excited to be here, and I’m looking forward to seeing your comments/questions/genius etc.

This effect looks promising….
A Touch Of Glass by Master of Illusions
For $54.95, you receive a complete and clever wine bottle production system, that is simple, easy to use, easy to set up or reset, that allows you to perform an elegant and visual production of a REAL and OPEN bottle of wine (or other bottle varieties).

All you will need is some very basic practice and a jacket, vest or over shirt to conceal the special system. The system has built in safety features, and even has an ‘Anti-Flashing’ system so there there is no fear of the bottle making a pre-mature appearance before the magic is supposed to happen while you are performing other effects.

The system has the ability to deliver the bottle to you in several different ways that allow you to use this with many different types of productions, whether you are producing the bottle from an empty newspaper, silk or visually from a ball of fire. In addition the bottle can be produced lightning fast from the ball of fire, or by using Peter’s unique handling, you can make the bottle appear slowly as seen in the demo video starting form the neck down, materializing itself visually from top to bottom making it look like REAL MAGIC, or something you would see in a Harry Potter movie.

What does ExoMagic think?

Check out the Splash Bottle production. (Which is what this effect looks like it is based off.) If you want to see it in action and learn how to use it…check out David Stone’s AMAZING DVD set, The Real Secrets of Magic.

Nice Video of Blaine talking about his stunts, focusing on the record breath hold…

It explains a few things you may have wondered about during the under water stunt. Enjoy!

If you didn’t already know…

ExoMagic is trying to collectively raise $10,000 to provide supplies and assistance to areas that need it the most in Haiti. Along with the basic necessities that we must bring in order to help the area remain safe.

ExoMagic’s founder, Alex Hess, will be departing in the second week of March with a veteran surgeon and volunteer who within 72 hours of the quake had set up a make shift operating tent in Haiti. Alex will be in the front lines, volunteering to help Haiti and it’s many families that have been put out of their homes and left to the elements. He is headed down with “Boots On The Ground,” the international Emergency Assistance Group.

Alex will be making Blog posts, taking photos and telling us first hand accounts of what will be happening down there from day to day.

We are asking for our fellow Magicians to help us provide the much needed assistance that these people are in dyer need for. Any donation amount towards these objectives are appreciated and can be made here. Please take the time to check out the site and pass the link on to you family and friends.

This is a chance to donate money to the doctors who are in Haiti.

If you have any questions check the donation page or contact Alex Hess personally at Alex@ExoMagic.com

Interesting video with Teller, telling you how it happened…

Let us know what you think.

Hey ExoMagicians!
It’s getting close to that day. (Feb. 14th for those who are like me and always forget dates.)

So whether you have plans or not…like any “holiday” you should always take advantage or people’s mind sets to take your Magic to the next level!

So what effects do I recommend for you to use this Valentine’s Day and the days leading up to it?

Simple. Here is a list of great effects to help you out…(Puns free for you to use too.)

First! FireStarters. Sankey has AMAZING effects and this DVD is no exception to learn some amazing Magic that will put a SPARK between you and your spectator. (Don’t forget the Flash Paper to heat things up!) Or Mesika’s Electric Touch to show off the REAL SPARK between the two of you…

Another thing to keep in mind… girls love the cute things in life. Butterflies actually fall under that category. Check out Caterpillar Love. It’s a sweet twist on Jim Pace’s The Web. Also, check out the effect; Life by Daniel Garcia (found on the Guerilla Guide to LOOPS VOL. 2). It’s an amazing routine, and if you want to learn how to work it without buying the whole Loops DVD at Ellusionist. Check out the source that Garcia learned parts of it from and was part of his inspiration; Folding Money Fooling. (Don’t forget to buy the Loops needed to make that butterfly…FLY.)

Why not show that special someone how they make your pulse race…or even…stop it dead in its tracks when they stare into your eyes. They really can take your breath away and your heart beat skip ALL its beats with CONTROL 2.0.

Wanna get something into your spectators mouth? HAHAHA! Or maybe just a kiss? FRENCH KISS! An amazing IN THE MOUTH transpo that will get your spectator thinking about swapping spit next.

I know! You want to impress that special someone by showing off your money. Don’t you? Hand Out 500 will allow you to do just that!

And my personal favorite love story… This effect works all the time. Girls get all excited about this one. Twilight Angles by Paul Harris. You can get the cards HERE. For learning how to use the gimmick and the routine…two sources. The Art of Astonishment Books or the amazing True Astonishment Project.

If you have any more ideas or thoughts…HIT THE FORUMS and let us know!

Enjoy your Valentine’s Day!

Hey ExoMagicians,

I recently found a great app for my iPhone. I know many of you have one and you probably love your iPhone as much as I do.

For people who don’t have jailbroken 3G or 2G phones, video recording was just a dream. Then 3Gs came out with the feature. Now…there’s an App for that too!

This app, iVideo Camera is only .99 and makes your 3G and 2G iPhone record video and sound like a 3Gs. (Why upgrade now?)

I purchased the app, assuming the worst that could happen is that video quality would be crappy.

To my surprise, it’s a great app that has good sound and camera quality. It has a lower definition and a higher definition setting. A wifi enabled share feature and a supposed 1 min length in film. (I haven’t checked yet.)

According to the developers they are working on an update which will improve the video quality and also the frame rate.
Currently the application only captures about three frames per second.

So now you call can record yourself doing your amazing Street Magic! Or when you’re out to eat! So go record your life and post it up for ExoMagicians to see!

Check out the great, must have, .99 app HERE.
