Ted Karmilovich was AWESOME!

The Ted Karmilovich lectures went absolutely great on Thursday and Friday! The first half of the lecture was full of Ted's working material from over two decades of performing mentalism. The material was VERY strong and is only available in his lecture notes.

The second half consisted entirely of Ted's different handlings and presentation points on the Mother of All Book Tests 2.0. This new and improved book test is an absolute fooler and is sure to leave your audience in disbelief with your psychic abilities. Literally any page, any word - instantly.

We have the Mother 2.0 in stock and are proud to be the only retailer to carry the original Mother and Mother 2.0 combo package, two great book tests for one low price. If you do mentalism, you will want this book.

Patrick Redford Lecture - March 10th, 2011!

Thursday, March 10th, 2011 at 7:00PM, $20.

Buy your tickets now before this amazing lecture sells out!

Metro Detroit entertainer, Patrick Redford has been entertaining audiences with his psychological magic for more than ten years. You may know him from his best-selling DVD Prevaricator. This BRAND NEW LECTURE focuses on Mentalism based magic.

"Patrick is a real worker; he makes a living at this. As a result he knows all the subtleties one says and does and how very important each piece of verbiage is. He understands that the wrong word can signal things we do not want a spectator to even think about." – Banacheck

"It (the lecture) is a journey from creation to performance - with several significant stops in between." - Rick Maue

"Fucking Impressive." -Bruce Bernstien

Bob Fitch stopped by Tannen's Yesterday!

The wonderfully talented Bob Fitch stopped in yesterday to say hello!

His magic workshops are a great way for performers to further improve their acts. Our very own Rich Kameda has worked with Bob for the past few years and strongly recommends the workshop.

Wayne Houchin killed last night!

Wayne Houchin was incredible at his sold-out lecture here last night! He performed and explained his more popular effects like Thread, Stigmata and Sinful and even showed us a few things that he hasn't published including a great broken and restored match.

One of the highlights of the lecture was his his finale. He showed us how he ends his stage show by performing a masterful rendition of the classic needle swallow.

All in all, Wayne was spot-on last night and we enjoyed having him very much!

Balloon Workshop a HUGE Success!

Tannen's was proud to host it's first event with Random Events NYC this past Tuesday. The event featured a balloon sculpting class taught by our very own Ben Nemzer. Random Events is a meet up group that focuses on bringing people together to do... well... random things! What's more random then learning to twist balloons at Tannen's Magic in the middle of a snowstorm?! We thought the idea was so cool, we were happy to donate our space for such a fun and successful event.
