From the Camirand Magic YouTube page (which showcases their products) comes this video of Gary Ouellet, the man who produced NBC’s World’s Greatest Magic specials. As you know, we have been showcasing some performances from these great Thanksgiving specials all week.

But this is a Buy It Now offering (and there are two posters) so $27 and it is yours (shipping included).
Check it out for yourself over on eBay.
Magic Island, according to this KPRC report featuring Scott Wells, will be opening in December or January. The Houston magic venue has been closed for years (since Hurricane Ike) but was recently renovated to restore it, giant sphinx and all, to its former glory!
