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...

WARNING will be available to dealers starting this Friday, September 18. Get your orders in fast, people - this one's going to go quick!


Here's the official scoop:

WARNING is an incredible new magic effect that is fast, visual, direct and amazing. Pick up a lighter, peel off the "warning" sticker, light it, and in a flash of fire the sticker has instantly returned to the lighter! WARNING is easy to learn, fun to practice, and addicting to perform. A completely organic magic trick that will get screams from your audience, WARNING "generates waves of excitement without you having to say a single word!"

It's the perfect ice breaker for any magician, a stunning close-up trick for the bar, street, banquet or corporate boardroom.
