2010 is upon us and we feel like we’ve gone long enough without you. Yes, you. You reading this thinking that your favorite magic news site would never speak directly from your screen into your heart.
We are looking to fill the following roles:
• International Reporters that would post once a week about magic issues or acts that we silly Americans might not otherwise see. Specifically in Western Europe (preferably in France/Spain/Portugal etc.), South or Central America and Australia/New Zealand.
• iTricks.TV Researchers who would find us one magic video per week that we do not already have and upload it to the site. You also get to be featured on the front page of the site in our iTricks.TV Pick of the Week.
• Podcast/Livestream Assistant which would help coordinate guests and learn how to set-up and run all of our downloadable and interactive content. Interest in the technical backside of the operation is a major plus.
Please email us at iTricksStaff@Gmail with your interest and we hope to hear from you soon. Yes, still you.
It is with a heavy heart that we say good bye to Andrew Webb as the iTricks Weekend Editor. Our UK branch is taking a leave of absence to focus on personal matters. We wish him all the best and hope to see him involved in the site again at some point in the future.
We will debut our new Weekend Editor next week. But for now, we’d like to wish Andrew W the best of luck and a Happy Christmas.
We are going to start writing up the brackets for the tournament tomorrow but we still have time for your nominations today. Email JustinRobertYoung@Gmail with the subject line iTricks Nominations.
Don’t let your favorite effect get left in the cold.
It’s that time of year, we are looking for your nominees for the prestigious 2009 iTricks Trick of the Year championship. All you have to do is think long and hard about the best trick you purchased that was released in this calendar year we are going to assemble a panel of experts to whittle the choices down all this month until only one winner is standing.
So how do you nominate? Easy! Email JustinRobertYoung@Gmail with what you believe is the best. PLEASE make the subject line “iTricks Nominations,” anything without that subject line will not be counted. Nominations will run until Monday.
Hello there everyone! Farraday here. Justin called me a few days ago and asked me to take over iTricks for the weekend. So here I am. I’ll be writing the posts, finding the news, moderating the comments, and bringing the world of magic straight through the intertubes to your personal screen (I hand deliver each and every story to all of your computers. I’m a modern day magical Santa Claus).
To start us off, I thought I’d give you some idea of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes here at iTricks. So I got a transcript of JuRY’s phone call to me, and put it up after the break. I think it should let you see the kind of dedication we have to our mission. It should also give you a quick intro to who I am and what I do here, should you be blissfully unaware.
But for now, enjoy the site for the weekend! Here’s hoping I can fill Justin’s massive, hairy shoes.
Esteemed iTricks Editor Justin Robert Young has a new job! Weird Things.com. Of course, he will continue to bring the heat everyday with magic news right here but now you enjoy even more JRY.
