Still haven’t found a website for the House Of Cards, the new magic venue in Nashville scheduled to open next month. We did find this WTVF report, though. They also have a second report which you can see on WTVF’s YouTube page.
A second edit of the very cool video celebrating Wayne Shifflett (now owner of the Mingus Magic Shop) performing cups and balls, as taught by Leroy Mingus, for exactly 50 years!
Wayne Shifflett first purchased a cups and balls set on January 8, 1968 at the Mingus Magic Shop in Reading, PA. The owner Leroy Mingus taught the young man the routine personally. 50 years later Wayne still performs the cups and balls but now he owns the Mingus Magic Shop! This video commemorating the anniversary was released yesterday features Wayne performing the routine Leroy Mingus taught him… with a store full of magicians who learned from Wayne backing him up.

This morning we told you the Mingus Magic Shop (along with their local IBM and SAM groups) were hosting a one day magic convention in Kutztown, Philadelphia on November 11. We dug around and found this clip introducing their shop… you can find out more about them and the convention at their official website.
KHOU coverage of the final Halloween for Frankel’s Costumes in Houston, which started out as Morty’s Magic Mart and still sells some magic. Always sad to see the brick and mortars go, but at least this one didn’t fail… it had a long and successful run.
