Hottest tricks of MAGIC Live!

We had an amazing time last week at MAGIC Live in Las Vegas! While showing in the dealers room we premiered several great effects to the magic community.

Without a doubt, L.I.F.T. by Jack Reimon set the convention abuzz. L.I.F.T. an acronym for Live Impromptu Floating Table, is a table levitation that can be done with any table at any time. Pictured above is Tannen's demonstrator, Jared Molten, demonstrating L.I.F.T. for the legendary Johnny Thompson!

Along with the Great Tomsoni we sat down and showed L.I.F.T. to Jeff McBride, Chris Kenner, Michael Weber, Barrie Richardson, Mathieu Bich, Garrett Thomas, Martin Lewis and even Losander bought a copy of the book!

The PLF Mentalism effects were also a HUGE convention hit! Magicians from all over the world couldn't wait to see the ParaPad, Depicting Thoughts Set and PLF Marked ESP Collection demonstrated.

All in all the convention was an absolute blast, we're looking forward to showing again at the next one!

Tannen's Magic Camp 2011 a HUGE Success!

This past week we enjoyed one of the most AMAZING Tannen's Magic Camps of all time!

The local CBS morning show came to visit us and see our magic. They wrote a story about the camp and even filmed several segments that aired live on TV!

That was only part of the fun! This year we had some extraordinarily special guests come to teach the campers. The legendary Johnny Thompson performed and lectured on the Malini Egg Bag. The Millionaire's Magician, Steve Cohen, visited us and performed his highly esteemed evening show for the campers. Eric DeCamps and Meir Yedid got the camp off to a rolling start performing their excellent close-up magic on the opening night of camp.

Alex Pandrea, Doug McKenzie, Ricky Smith and Dan Hauss joined our older campers for late-night close-up magic jam sessions.

We can't wait to see what will happen next summer...

Camp's around the corner...

We're getting ready for the best year of Tannen's Magic Camp ever!

This year some of the biggest names in magic will be joining us, both performing and lecturing for the campers. The legendary Johnny Thompson will be there. Steve Cohen will perform his evening show. Marc DeSouza, Eric DeCamps and Meir Yedid will all be making appearances to share their stories and knowledge.

Think that's cool? Dan White, who's starring in his own show on the Discovery Channel, The Supernaturalist, will be stopping by. Vanishing Inc., Blue Crown, and Theory 11 stars Ricky Smith, Tony Chang and Alex Pandrea will all be coming by for jam sessions with the campers.

And that's not all..

While at camp, campers will have exclusive access to the EMC 2011 Magic Conference!
