Ok guys, its the 1st of may, time for a contest.

Heres the deal. What Me and Blink would like you all to do is to make a video. Not just any video, a video showing us your style.

Your style of Magic Or Flourishing.

Here are the rules:

• The video theme must be about "Your Style"
• The video must be no longer than 3 minutes long.
• The video title must be just one word describing "Your Style"
• The video can include both Magic and Flourishing
• The video must be family friendly.

(Failure to follow the rules will result in a disqualification)

Once you have made your video, upload it to a video site. Eg. http://www.youtube.com/ ,

Then either email me, Twozwozer@hotmail.com , with your Name, Email and video link, with the subject titled, "Video Contest Entry".

Or submit through the Magic Review contact page. With your Name, Email and video link and with the subject "Video Contest Entry"

There will be prizes for the best video/s.

(Prizes will be confirmed during this week. )

If you have any questions feel free to email me or contact Blink (through the Magic Review.com) and we will answer them ASAP.

Happy Video Making.

Cheers, Tom

ENTRY DATE CLOSES MAY 31st 11.59pm EST

Righto. Ive been talking to a certain Mr Matt Tarrant, aka 'Blink'. (Matt is the founder/creator of TheMagicReview.com) And we've decided to join together for this contest.

The contest we had in mind is a video contest. A video contst where anyone can enter. (Magicians and Flourishers). Now this won't be random video contest, there will be a theme that everyone will have to follow by.

And yes, there will be prizes.

The release date for all the information you will need (Rules, Theme, all that jazz) Will be (hopefully) 1/5/08, or for all the US readers, 5/1/08.

So stay tuned.

Cheers, Tom

Hey Everyone. I have a spare copy of Theory 11's Control By Wayne Houchin (and maybe some Brown Wynns and other stuff) to give away. So I thought, why not have a contest. The only problem is though I have no idea what to do for a contest.

Im going to have a think over this week or so and Ill probably have an idea for a contest by then. So if you would like to win some free stuff post your comments here and stay tuned for contest.

Cheers, Tom

So far, it been quiet a busy april.
We've had the lanch of Ultra Gaff, which made the Ellusionist servers crash after 15 mins.

The final sale of Brown Wynns on Theory 11 is over.

Ellusionist have put a release date up for the Black Ghost (2nd Ed.) Which is the 22nd of April.

Theory 11 have also released a limited supply of David Blaine's Split Spade : Lions Playing Cards. ($6.95 a deck, with discount as you buy more). Also they come in Red, Blue or Black.

We have also been given a released date for Flow, which should be out on the 12th of May, if I remember rightly. If you havent seen the trailer, check it out now on www.papercraneproductions.com. This will only be released at Ellusionist, Paper Crane and Paul Harris's Site.

My favourite video for this month would have to be, "The Magic of The Rings" by Jay Sankey. A brilliant video, couldnt stop watching it. Check it here.....

For those who have been waiting, Justin Miller has finally released his All Access Backstage DVD. "With 10 full routines and for the first time ever Justin is tipping his underground packet switch-Four On The Floor!". And the price is only $20 including shipping. Get this while you can.

And finally, to any one who wants to know, the free products you get from Penguin Magic for voting for Austin are ; "Magic Square with Luke Jermay" and "Go Pro with Tom Krzystof: Tables, Cases and Gear (Volumes 1 and 2)"

Cheers, Tom

Heres a qucik overview of March (stuff that interested me).

Over at Theory 11 we had the release of Tom Isaacson's "Prophet" Which is a very visual, gimmicked bill change. We also had 4 1on1 released, the best one IMO was Shifty, Chris Kenner's Gimmick-less rising card, which is like Danny Garcia's Fallen.

Speaking of Danny.G, he new effect, Torn Too was releasing on Penguin Magic.com avaible now as Download, there are preorders for the DVD which will release April 21st. If you order the DVD now, you get the Download for free.

Also this month, Daniel Madison released his new PDF; Identity. "A COLLECTION OF DANIEL MADISONS' CREATIONS, PROPS, GIMMICKS, GAFFS AND EFFECTS THAT YOU CAN MAKE AND DEVELOP WITHIN MINUTES" These effects include effect that were orginally on his site but were taken off, llike Devil's Touch, Breach, EightTwo, Memento, CUT and RIP. Check out D+M's site for more. Also, check out his site for his new competition.

CANYOUCHANGE.

This is going to be one of the most antiscipated months for some people. This month Ellusionist are releasing the UltraGaff Deck with the 3 DVD Disc set, plus the Black Ghost Deck (2nd Edition) Check out www.ellusionist.com or come check back here where Ill have all the news I can get my hands on for Ultra Gaff.
