More Celebracadabra News!

So last week Mr. Hal Sparks performed my Booger Restoration trick from Geek Magic.
I wrote an email to Hal and he responded! He wrote back, saying."I credited you when we were taping but I don't know if they aired that part. Did they? I dig your DVD, brother. Nice work." My trick didn't air, but was available only on the VH1 website as a deleted scene. Still, I'm flattered he chose to watch my DVD.

Then, Lisa Ann Walter performed another trick from Geek Magic on this week's episode - the balloon swallow! The trick isn't original with me, but still... you can learn it off the DVD. She did a great job!

Celebracadabra has been fun to watch, and especially fun to see which tricks the coaches pick. Many of them can be purchased at any magic shop. For example:

• C Thomas Howell did the Floating Bill
• Lisa Ann Walter did the Hydrostatic Glass
• Christopher Reid did a Cut and Restored Rope
• Hal Sparks did 20th Century Shorts

Television magic specials are great for shops and magic in general. Hopefully this series will encourage viewers to visit their local shop!

FUN Inc. on Celebracadabra

As I was viewing the online extras for Celebracadabra (I get to call it research...for work), I came upon Hal Sparks, dressed as a wizard, performing for a group of school children. Imagine my surprise when he mentioned a trick he saw a "Chicago magician" do called the Booger Restoration.

Well, wonder no more! That Chicago magician is FUN's very own Tomas Medina, and you can find the Booger Restoration on Tomas' Geek Magic DVD. If it's good enough for Hal and his coach, Rocco, it's good enough for you!
