Hello friends and magicians. I have been recovering from 4 days at the Columbus Magi Fest. I met some really cool people, saw some great magic and sold a ton of Universal Impressions. Hopefully I will be able to post some video of the convention soon but until then here are some highlights.

I finally got to meet God Handz AKA Eric Jones and saw his ridiculous coins across from his new DVD put out by Kozmo Magic. I met a few very funny magicians by the name of Geoff Williams, Jon Allen and of course Danny Garcia. I got to see Jeff Prace’s Gum effect in person which was really great but my favorite moment of the convention was a toss up between meeting Dan Harlan and seeing Alex Rangel’s awesome method for removing all the meat off of a chicken wing. I think it was the “move” of the convention. All in all it was a pretty laid back convention and Tony Miller was extremely well behaved. Oh did I mention that at the headliner show during a magician pulled a rabbit out of a hat and came dangerously close to murdering a rabbit in front of a crowd of over a thousand people.

Happy new year customers friends and everyone else. This is my first post to the blog at Paper Crane Magic. We have some plans to do a lot of really fun stuff and we hope to reach out to a lot of new magicians.

So far 2010 has been great we started out the year with 2 new and very hot products The Pandora System and Spin.

Speaking of reaching out to new magicians that reminds me about some exciting news for February. Magi Fest is today! This year I’m especially excited because Paper Crane will have a booth in the dealers room. Not only that but I will get the chance to see two magicians that my good friend Dan Hauss has told me wonderful things about. Danny Garcia and Arthur Trace not to mention someone who I have been following for a long time Eric Jones. I cant wait to see some of the material off his new 3 DVD set. Conventions are great because you really get a chance to appreciate what the magic “community” has to offer. Not only do you get to see great magic and meet new friends but you also get a chance to session with magician all over the world from every type of background and skill level. It’s a great chance for an old dog to learn a new trick and young pup to get some potty training. Well if you see any of the Paper Crane people walking feel free to say hi we would love the chance to get to meet you.
