This Is What Magic Is All About…

I just read an article in About Magic that I have to pass along to you…

http://magic.about.com/b/2009/11/18/magicians-help-a-boy-who-was-hit-by-a-car.htm

In my mind, this is what the spirit of magic is all about and these two magicians “get it”.

Learn from their example and find creative ways to use your magic to give back to those around you.

Go spread some REAL wonder!

P.S. Why do YOU think my new DVD is pre-selling like crazy? Is it because…

• All the tricks can be done impromptu
• All the tricks can be done standing
• All the tricks are “high-impact” and get amazing reactions
• “Unmake” and “Symbiotic” are included!
• All the tricks are done with coins, a commonplace object that is the easiest to borrow
• The DVD is 20% cheaper when you pre-order
• There’s a hot girl on the cover
• Everyone who pre-orders gets insane discounts off my other DVDs
• All of the above!

How Magic Can Help You “Beat The Reaper”…

Randy Pausch is a legend.

He was given 3-6 months to live.

Nine months later, he gave this brief, but very powerful speech:

I love this line:

“It is not the things we do in life that we regret, it is the things we do not do.”

So…

If you want to be a magician…DO IT!

If you want to make the jump from part-time to full-time…DO IT!

If you want to use your magic to make the world better…DO IT!

I assure you, you won’t regret it.

However, if you never turn your dreams into reality, then when your time comes, you WILL look back and regret *NOT* doing it.

I’ve seen too many magicians live their lives DREAMING about performing magic, without actually DOING it.

Don’t let this be you.

Take some action today towards reaching your dreams, whatever they are, and when you do, you’ll take a step towards truly “beating the reaper”.

P.S. Here we go again…

3 months ago, I took 10 magicians on an amazing ride.

Now, their magic careers are in full-swing and I’m ready to take on another group of 10.

We’re beginning in early July, so you’d better hurry. (The first 4 spots are already filled.)

Mother’s Day Magic

Yesterday was Mother’s Day here in the States.

One of the lessons my mom taught me was never to put money in my mouth.

“It’s dirty and you don’t know where it’s been”, she would say.

Let’s just say that this magician didn’t listen very well to that one.

Check out this trick from my S.O.S. DVD…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e6cEwtSSXw

But seriously, give your mom a hug or give her a call to say thanks. “Magic moms” are the best and we owe them a ton.

Thanks mom…

…For being our first and best spectator.

…For picking a card whenever we ask you to.

…For being our biggest cheerleader.

…For all the times you pretended to be fooled.

…For giving honest critiques.

…For handing out our business cards.

…For sewing our props and costumes.

…For driving us to our shows.

…For not freaking out when we told you we wanted to be a magician!

…For everything.

As a special treat for Mother’s Day, I’m taking 35% off of my S.O.S. DVD for the rest of the week.

Thanks mom…for helping us all to go spread some wonder!

Magic For Valentine’s Day

Most guys would agree that Valentine’s Day has a special “magic” all its own.

Yeah…

It makes your money disappear!

The people who make candy, chocolates, flowers, gifts, and cards are all raking in the dough right now.

Many people believe that Valentine’s Day is just a made-up holiday so that greeting card companies can make a few bucks.

Whatever your own opinion is, I encourage you to bring a little magic into the life of that special someone today.

Magic can be a great way to say “I love you”.

Make a special message appear on a playing card, turn a paper rose into a real rose, or write a simple poem about how she (or he) brings magic into your life.

As for me….

Valentine’s Day is a perfect time for me to say “I love you” to….

YOU!

I honestly love my customers and my subscribers.

Without you, I wouldn’t be able to do what I love day in and day out.

For that, I LOVE my customers.

Now, for those of you who think that Valentine’s Day is all about making your money “disappear”, then I’ve got just the thing for you…

My “Unmake” coin vanish REALLY makes money disappear.

And for the next 24 hours only, you can get the Unmake download for 40% off. (That’s just $8.98!)

Watch the Unmake video and get the download here:

It’s my Valentine’s Day gift to you.

P.S. There are still a few spots open for those who want to get started doing family magic shows…

Don’t wait on this, it’s starting soon.

Martin Luther King Jr. and REAL Magic

Hope your weekend was fun.

We got buried in almost 2 feet of snow over the course of the last few days. It seemed like the snow would never end.

It is beautiful to look at though.

Today we’re celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It’s amazing to think of where our
country was in his day, versus where our country is now.

I’m proud to be an American and regardless of my political views, I can’t respect enough what President-elect Obama has accomplished and what the American people have accomplished.

You can bet that when Obama becomes the 1st African-American President, I’ll be thinking of Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1000s of others who would not stand for the social injustice, prejudice, and racism.

They DID something about it.

They didn’t sit home and complain about it.

They didn’t look to others to take the lead.

They didn’t wait for the “time to be right”.

They didn’t become violent or revenge-seeking.

They saw something that wasn’t right…And they fixed it. Peacefully and powerfully.

It is my hope that all the injustices in this world (and in your life) will be eradicated in the same way.

Peacefully and powerfully.

Now that’s how you make real magic happen.

Looking back on magic in 2008

As we move into the new year, I look back on how 2008 has been for the magic world.

A lot has happened in 2008. Some good for magic, some not so good.

I remember the NBC reality show about mentalism called “Phenomenon” (and the Criss Angel fight).
- GOOD for magic

Criss Angel’s Cirque du Soleil act.
- NOT good for magic

A TON of new tricks were released to the magic fraternity
- GOOD for magic

A TON of new tricks were released to the magic fraternity
- NOT good for magic

Here at TheMagicTeacher.com, I’ve been busy, busy, busy…

- I released a few tricks and DVDs:

(Unmake, Shelled, the Numismatic DVD, and the S.O.S. DVD)

- I’ve developed a web site community for serious card magicians:
(www.CardTrickInsider.com)

- I’ve written a book for beginning card magicians: (http://www.HighImpactCardTricks.com)

- I’ve maintained my professional performing schedule.

- I’ve had a ton of FUN with magic.

For 2009, I’ve got some pretty big dreams – Including becoming THE BEST and MOST POPULAR magic teacher on the Internet.

Can we do it America? YES WE CAN! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!)

I want to inspire others to make great magic and spread wonder the way that Mark Wilson’s Complete Course In Magic inspired me.

I want the next Criss Angel, David Blaine, Doug Henning, or David Copperfield to be a student of me, Tim David.

Hey, maybe it will be you?

I hope so, because I’m going to do whatever I can in 2009 to help you achieve your dreams in magic.

Deal?

Go spread some wonder!

P.S. Did you check out Steve Fearson’s new trick that came out yesterday? It’s pretty good mentalism:

Happy holidays everyone!

Take some time today to be thankful for the truly important things in life.
