And Now: Clowns [It Ain’t Magic, But…]

Posted by Michael on October 11th, 2019

One of BuzzFeed’s latest, and arguably creepiest, videos is this game of “Never Have I Ever…” with clowns.

Clowns. It seems you either love them or hate them. On the one hand, one of my best friends and one of the few people in the world I talk to almost every day, is a Ringling Brothers trained circus clown. On the other hand, something clowns makes me want to punch them…. it might be the shoes.

Posted by Michael on August 13th, 2019

WFIN has perhaps the shortest radio interview we have ever heard with “Excellent Elizabeth” Nauert (above), a seventh grader recognized last year by the Society of American Magicians as a Star of Tomorrow in Stage Magic, on what convinced her to take up magic.

Potter and Potter’s Summer Magic Auction is Saturday and they have added a few new lots, including a Lefty Puppet signed by Jay Marshall! It is an online auction (with absentee bids already being taken) and you can see the whole catalog and learn more about bidding on their website.

If you are already planning for 2020, Magifest registration is open. This year it will be held January 16th through 18th in, as always, Columbus, Ohio. Learn everything you need to know about this popular magic convention over at the Vanishing Inc site.
