Dean Dill, Johnny Carson's Magic Teacher

Dean Dill is known for his magic creations, including the famous Dean's Box and a plethora of devastating close up routines with an emphasis on coin tricks. Many magicians will remember him from his appearance on the Tonight Show and his marvelous technical skill. Not as many know though that he was actually Johnny Carson's magic teacher during the 1980's.

Many others have fond memories of hanging out at his barber shop, Dean's Shoppe in Glendale. Not as many know that one of Dean's first customers was the man often referred to as the father of close-up magic, Dai Vernon.

Dean Dill led a remarkable life and was one of the greatest contributors to our art, honing his skills and sharing generously at every turn. He's left behind a real legacy of wonderful magic for future generations to enjoy and build upon. Dean's routines are flawless, thoughtful and often startlingly visual. If you're not familiar with his work you really need to check it out. It's truly exceptional.

Here are a couple routines to give you an idea what we're talking about... BUT DON'T PRESS THE BUY BUTTON UNTIL YOU READ THE REST OF THIS POST.

Daryl Easton, Daryl Martinez or D. Money as he's referred to on the streets has went by many names but magicians all around the world recognize him as simply Daryl, the Magician's Magician. He's earned his title as one of the most prolific and well-known teachers of magic. If you've ever seen him lecture you know you've seen the best and you probably walked away with several real-world routines and tricks that you actually USE in your act.

Dai Vernon Streaming is Sort of Wild

Think about this.  Magician Dai Vernon was born in 1894, about 120 years ago. He managed to live long enough to make it to VHS and his legacy continued on to DVD, which we should all be thankful for because his Revelations series is a treasure, a joy to watch through and through. You feel like your really met the master, spent time with him and learned not only his (still) flawless sleight of hand magic tricks but got a feel for what he was like as a person. For those of us who never had the chance to meet Mr Vernon, this series is an absolute must. There are few in magic as revered as Dai Vernon and only one referred to as the Father of modern Close-Up Magic.

Now the DVDs have made it to streaming video, instant delivery online by download. It's amazing when you think about it. It's been a long time since Dai Vernon began perfecting his art, and the techniques still hold up today. More than that, you will find some AWESOME tricks and routines in these volumes. His card to inner jacket pocket comes to mind as one of the most perfect magic tricks with a card possible.

There are 8 volumes in all but we must warn you... Once you see one you will want to download them all. Hosted by Michael Ammar and Gary Oulett, these volumes are not just recommended, in our opinion they are required viewing if you love the art of magic.  Happy downloading!

Stars of Magic Volumes

Early in my involvement in magic I was lucky enough to know someone who gifted me with a VHS library, a box full of magic videos. Among these was the Stars of Magic series, a BLOCKBUSTER set of videos featuring guys like Paul Harris, David Roth and Frank Garcia. True legends of magic.

This series and the performers in it were a HUGE inspiration to me with several routines becoming staples in my repertoire. I literally watched these videos until the tapes wore out. They’ve recently been made available as downloads and I’m thrilled to be able to offer you a FANTASTIC deal on the entire set, this weekend only.

>>   Stars of Magic Collection Volumes 1-9

We’re only authorized to offer this deal for about the next 48 hours, until the end of this month. On September 1st this deal will be history.

If you’ve never seen these videos I sincerely encourage you to take advantage of this offer.  I’m giving them my highest personal recommendation, I guarantee you won't regret it.

All the best!

Site Updates - How Magic Happens

I've made some major changes to the checkout process on Downloadmagic.com

Instead of the 3 to 5 steps we're down to a single page asking only for your name and billing address.

Step 2 is paypal where you can use any credit card, no paypal address is required. People are still sometimes confused by this or more exactly, turned off by paypal and don't realize they can pay without logging in.  But you can.  Unless Paypal decides to force a signup which apparently does happen.  Rarely, but it does.  If you ever find yourself on their page and can't locate the link or option to pay using a credit card without a paypal account, please let us know!

New Magic and Mentalism!

I make it a point not to post here unless there's something important going on in magic. And today there is!

I've launched a brand new magic website with a focus on mentalism. It's called eMagic Supply and we've been adding a new effect from a new magician just about every week since it launched a few weeks ago. I'm working with some great performers like Tim David, Paul Vigil, Luke Jermay, Aaron DeLong and David Bui.

This week we introduced Paul Vigil's ICON, an eMagic exclusive. Next week I'm introducing a new magical artist, Dustin Baker. He's got a great mental effect called Stop the Presses that's sure to amaze and astound. It's impromptu mentalism which is what we do best at eMagicSupply.com

The site has actually been running for almost 3 months and we've introduced more new magic and mentalism than any site out there.. bar NONE! I'm also proud to say that our customer service ROCKS! Our girl Janet really knows how to please. In the event that you have trouble with a download or just have a question about a new trick or routine, just drop us a line and she'll respond so fast it's freaky.

I've even moved a few of the effects from DownloadMagic.com over to the new site. Download Magic will continue to operate of course, but will carry only the Steve Fearson products it's known for. All new releases will appear on eMagic Supply.

If you're a mentalism buff, this new site is a must see.

Check it out when you get a chance!

Magic Tricks on Ellen

Mentalist Gerard Senehi performed some amazing mentalism and magic tricks on the Ellen Degeneres show today.

One of the magic tricks he performed was Steve Fearson's Original Floating Cigarette Routine!

Of course the floating cigarette has been performed on television countless times by dozens of magicians around the world. I think the last time it was on tv before this was in the magic special "T.H.E.M. - Totally Hidden Extreme Magic." A guy named De la Vega performed it that time. Just a couple years before that, David Blaine did the trick on one of his television specials. It wasn't Street Magic, it was one of the other ones. He floated a leaf for some natives in the jungle though instead of levitating a ciagrette.

You can levitate any small object with the trick, just visit the following link to see a demo video:

Magic Tricks - Levitating Cigarette

If you only learn one magic trick, make it this one. You don't have to know any other magic tricks or sleight of hand to learn to do this trick either. I'm not saying it's easy, it will take a bit of practice but it will be well worth it. You will not need any other magic tricks besides this.

Good Luck!
