Max Maven kicks off Thinking in Person


Tannen's was thrilled to be part of Max Maven's opening for his off-Broadway mentalism show, Thinking in Person, which premiered last night to a sold-out crowd!

Producers say the show "sets out to take the audience on a journey to explore some of the mysteries of the human mind and aims to challenge our assumptions of what we think we know with the mystery of what we can't know. It's more than a ruse to amaze with trickery; it's a magic act woven into slivers of metaphysics."
  
Tannen's President and Owner, Adam Blumenthal, contributed to the production as an associate lighting designer working with Jules Fisher, the legendary Broadway designer and life-long magic fan. The show is directed by Sandy Marshall, son of the great Jay Marshall and owner of Magic Inc. in Chicago. 

Tannen's is very excited to bring Max in to lecture for NYC magicians and mentalists in two weeks on Monday, June 25th. Tickets are still available for Max's lecture here!

Mathieu Bich from Penn & Teller's Fool Us visits Tannen's


Mathieu Bich totally floored Penn & Teller on their hit UK based television show, Fool Us. How did he fool the greatest magic tandem around? Well, Mathieu shared with them the very trick that won him the Invention Award at FISM in 2006, Spreadwave 2.0.

Mathieu is one of the the most creative magicians in the world today. Along with the success of Spreadwave, his other published effects like Newsletter Tricks and Back Twist have been very well received. It was absolutely great to have him lecture for our NYC customers last month!

Check out this video of Mathieu saying "Bonjour," from our New York City showroom.

Magic Camp the Movie Premiering at the Newport Beach Film Festival!


Magic Camp the Movie, a documentary about Tannen's Magic Camp, is premiering at the Newport Beach Film Festival at the end of April.
To escape the pressures of growing up, magic-obsessed kids congregate at the one place they can be themselves. They want to prove their worth on the same stage where magic superstars like David Blaine and David Copperfield once performed. But to get there, they need to learn more than sleight-of-hand and tricks of the trade. They have to find the magic inside.
Get your tickets today and enjoy the movie! Stay updated by following the film on twitter and facebook.
