The Magic area is down for a little while until I code a new login/authentication system, as it says at the magic page this won’t require any magic know-how etc. its just so I can keep a track on who views the page, registration will be free and easy!

magician.org.uk magic: I have opened a magic section on the blog, at the moment it contains just one effect, but I will be adding to it sporadically, I am not the most creative magician when it comes to devising new tricks, I much prefer to take tricks already in print and add a creative touch to it through presentation.
This is just my small way of saying thank-you to those select few who actually read this blog.
Anyway the first effect is a small packet brainwave effect I devised a couple of years back, probably the first card effect I came up with, its not brilliant more of a solution to a problem, that of finding an ungaffed way to do B’Wave. Lookout for more effects coming soon, including a slant on the Fusion plot, a close-up drawing duplication idea and a way to do Daryl’s Ambitious Card ending that is cheap and easy to make!
