Kostya Kimlat products!

With all the hoopla surrounding the return of Fart-Toon, I nearly forgot to mention the addition of products from Kostya Kimlat!

Kostya is a triple-threat: he's young, talented, and good-looking, which just makes me hate him more (j/k KK!).

The truth is, despite his young age, he's widely recognized as a true authority on card magic. His magnum opus (thus far) is his Roadrunner Cull DVD. I first saw Kostya perform back in '04 at the Motor City Close-Up convention. He demonstrated his culling technique, and not a single person was unimpressed. At the time, his cull notes were only written up in lecture notes, and while they were well written, video is the perfect medium for learning such a complicated and versatile sleight.

We also have 2 of Kostya's works available on CD-ROM in e-book formats. Card Work, Card Play includes PDF files along with video files, so you'll be able to see the sleights and tricks described, and keep the PDF files to print or add to your mobile device for on-the-go learning. We also have a double-dose of Kostya with the No Card Tricks/Post-It Prestidigitation CD-ROM, combining two e-books onto one disc in PDF format. I love that Kostya is a diverse magical talent and branches away from cards to become an all-around magic entertainer.

For the time being, Kostya's not giving any of these products to any other distributor. The only place you can find them right now is at FUN Incorporated! Act fast - supplies are limited!

Fart-Toon Returns!

We've had a lot of requests about this trick - but decided to re-release it anyway!

Quite possibly the world's most offensive card trick, Fart-Toon is back! The hilarious sequel comes from the creator of the original Card-Toon, Dan Harlan, along with Scott Alexander.

Instead of finding a selected card by shooting out of a cannon or pulling it from his hat, the world's most famous stick-figure magician devours a taco supreme (with extra hot sauce!), then emits a gaseous cloud from his rear end, with the card revealed among the toxic fumes!

Rune Klan on Danish TV!


Rune Klan has been performing in his own television show broadcast on the Danish TV network Channel 5.

None of us here speak Danish, but it certainly was a surprise when we saw Rune using FUN Inc-made Super Signal on national television!

How do we know this? Because on the back, you can clearly see the logo from 2008's combined SAM/IBM Convention, and FUN was the exclusive manufacturer for the magic kits received by all the registrants, including...

NPR's Carl Kasell Does Magic

Roaming around the interwebs, I ran across a YouTube video of legendary NPR newsman Carl Kasell performing Scotch and Soda. Kasell has been the voice of NPR's morning newscasts for years, but most may know him as the announcer/scorekeeper for NPR's news quiz show, "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!" which is recorded weekly right here in Chicago.

I need to make it down to a taping one of these days...
