News from the dealer's room at Magi-Fest included the launch of Lost Art Magic a new, New York-based company headed by Xavier Spade and Eric Jones. Lost Art was showcasing their DVD Misbehavin, which teaches a core routine from the repertoire of Kainoa Harbottle. The company is also selling Si-Fi Project. a floating ring effect by Xiang Liu which was originally issued by Spade's now defunct company The Daily Deception.

In an interview during Magi-Fest Spade offered few details about the company's upcoming products, although he did acknowledge that they would be releasing material by Eric Jones and have other products in the pipeline. "Our idea was 'we're sick of the way magic companies treat the artists.'" Spade commented. "They don't give them the respect or the care for the things that they offer. We 'decided to sit down with the artist and put the artist as the star of the product rather than the company."

Although Harbottle released an earlier version of this routine in a self-produced book, it has never been explained on video. In the course of teaching two versions of the routine the video provides clearly shot, thoroughly explained, and unrushed descriptions of the trick's moves, including an in-depth look at Edge Grip and related techniques. Spade explained that Lost Art's videos include ratings to indicate their difficulty and the audience for whom they are best-suited. Misbehavin is rated at four out of five stars for difficulty and described as appropriate for the Worker/Professional. The disks can be ordered through lostartmagic.com, and a downloadable version can be purchased at ellusionist.com.

Other New York-based companies that had a presence at Magi-Fest included Tannen's Magic shop, which had a large sales booth, and Vanishing Inc, the company run by Joshua Jay and Andi Gladwin who are also the convention's producers. Magi-Fest was presented January 29 through February 1 in Columbus, Ohio.
