0 Comments

 
The Parent Assembly of the Society of American Magicians is holding its annual auction Thursday, February 1. The event was rescheduled after it previously was postponed due to weather.

The auction provides a great opportunity to purchase hard-to-find and rare items as well as to uncover magic bargains as Parent Assembly members send their cherished tricks, videos, books, posters, memorabilia and more to new homes.

This year we have noteworthy special donations of tricks, cards, and books from organizations and individuals including Tannen's Magic, Steve Cohen, David Kaye/Silly Billy, Doug Edwards, George Schindler's Showbiz Services and herbsmagic.com. These include some unique decks of special edition playing cards from Steve Cohen, a "Mysterious" contribution from Tannen's that will be of interest, as well as tricks, books and more.

Aside from the possibility of finding unusual or bargain items, the auction often provides exciting moments of dramatic bidding action! Doors open at 7:45, auction starts promptly at 8 p.m.

The auction will be held at:
Fantasma Magic (their new location)
213 West 35th Street (b/t 7th & 8th Aves.)

Herb's Magic Included in Genii Forum's "2017 in Review" for David Williamson Interview

1/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Dustin Stinett, an Associate Editor of Genii magazine, has crafted an extensive "2017 in Review" post on the Genii Forum, which includes a mention of and link to the Herb's Magic interview with David Williamson, which ran here in April. Stinett's review highlights a wide range of magic news and items, both mainstream and offbeat, that may have been overlooked by magicians and magic-lovers during the year. For example, there are links to interviews with David Blaine, David Copperfield, and Derek DelGaudio, a Fred Kaps lecture on using the Topit, and evidence that Batman knows coin flourishes. Stinett's review is definitely worth reading and, of course, we here at Herb's Magic are very pleased to be included.

As undoubtedly most readers here would know, Genii Magazine is the leading periodical devoted to magic and the Genii Forum is a related online message board that features an active ongoing conversation about magic.

Our interview with David Williamson ran at the time he appeared in New York at Madison Square Garden as the ringmaster in Circus 1903. It covered his involvement in that show but also delved into numerous other aspects of his career and his views on magic.
