HIGH SPOTS BY CALEB WILES Description: A small volume of creative new card magic by previously unknown magician Caleb Wiles. Review: After hearing so many appraisals for the new book by Caleb Wiles, my interest was peaked. Eventually, I bought the book and eageryl awaited its arrival. It...

Okay, so it's been a while since I posted my last True Astonishments review... I had to do a lot of school stuff and exams... but I'm back, and to make it up to you for the long wait I'm throwing two reviews out today. Here we go with Discs Seven and Eight! Disc 7...

I perform a classic effect... known for its extreme difficulty. This was mainly to test out a new video camera but I figured I'd post it. Enjoy! By the way, for best quality, please view the video in HD. I didn't buy an HD camera for nothing...

I've been messing around a little bit with coins recently... this is my handling of the classic Hanging Coins plot. This offers nothing new in way of method... like I said, it's a handling. You may notice the absence of my usually ever-present patter and presentations... well, I filmed this...

Before anyone thinks that I'm in any way involved in this project with Fearson, I will say that I know no more about this product than you do. Anways, I found this on eMagic Supply... it sounds quite incredible, if the effect looks like the ad copy reads. It's some sort of new...

Okay, so every year, in Dundas, Ontario, Buskerfest is held. Jugglers, sword swallowers, acrobats, contortionists, break dancers, comic acts, magicians, we've got it all. I never miss a year... However, this year, I only had one goal... to meet the legendary GAZZO! I heard he was performing...

I want to hear the best magic-themed jokes you've got! They can be your own original joke, or something you heard that made you crack up. Stuff like "How do you get a magician to show you 100 card tricks? Ask him to show you one!"... that's what I want to see (only not so cliche and obvious)...

Hello All! Now, I am by no means a coin worker... I dabble, I use no more than 3 or 4 coin tricks, but that's all. However, I sometimes play with coins with hopes of stumbling across something worthwhile. This, I feel, is one of those pieces... it's my take on the Copper/Silver plot, with...

We at Westmount Magic are not perfect... this is a collection of outtakes and bloopers from the passing Westmount Magic season. Effect failures, candid moments, and even the most epic That's What She Said joke of all time. Check it out, enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_AvJK_nTKo...

Alright guys, here's the deal... a la Morgician, I will be posting a series of 9 reviews over the course of a few days, each one reviewing a seperate disc. Each video will hopefulyl be thorough enough. This first video is almost ten minutes long and, if the other 8 are anything like it, the...

I've been reviewing some of my old posts, and some posts directed at me... it's something I do from time to time. I notice, recently, I've been acting very immaturely, acting like my opinion always the right one. I feel like I've been flaunting some sort of delusional, false superiority around...

Another story, borderline horror but primarily a dark dramatic piece. Enjoy. COUNTING TILES By Michael Kras “So, if x+y= 28, and x=12, what does y equal?” The teacher awaits her answer. There is a moment of pure silence… you could damn near hear a pin drop. I tap my pockets to look for...

Hey again! Some of you asked to see some of horror shorts. Here's one of them... not my best work but I hope you enjoy regardless. I also would love to hear your comments! Knock On Wood By Michael Kras “Identity theft.” Sue had a knack for that. Every time she watched Wheel of...

OKAY, this is not magic-related in any way, shape, or form, but it's an exhibition of my other passion for writing. After all, this is yet another way of channeling creativity. Typically, I write horror shorts, or something revolving around a morbidly disturbing topic. This one isn't horror at...
