Penguin Magic's "Sister Store"

I don't know what a "Sister Store" is exactly, but I have a sister and she has a store...

She's a designer who makes fancy collars and leashes for dogs and cats. I helped her make this video to promote her products. I think it turned out pretty fun. Check it out if you're in the mood for some cute puppies.



Here's a link to her site if you know anyone looking for some rhinestone dog collars :-)

Paul Harris interview with Alvo Stockman

Here's a quick interview I did with Paul Harris about Titan's finger, and his upcoming release, Little Man. A TON of hype around this trick, so I wanted to get the word from the source. Check it out here:

Oz Pearlman Interview

I sat down to do a video interview with Oz Pearlman the other day. Oz talked openly about his life and his magic. It was a great conversation and I think you'll enjoy it.

GUM Word Problem CONTEST

If John (who weighs 136 pounds) buys 144 GUM DVDs, and Sally (who weighs 121 pounds) buys 320 GUM DVDs and together they get on a camel with a useful load capacity of only 300 pounds, who would have to throw away more DVDs given that John and Sally decided that the fairest way to handle the situation is by bringing their individual weights down to 150 pounds each?

Note: Each GUM DVD was bought this week at Penguin Magic so it includes 2 packs of Orbitz gum. The weight of the Orbitz must be calculated in addition to the DVDs.

BE THE FIRST to show your work AND do it correctly by noon tomorrow (Sunday December 6th 2009) and win a free copy of GUM

Seating is extremely limited, and we've got a line up that's going to change your game completely! This year we're going to be focusing more on the MONEY side of things, with an entire course dedicated to Your Magic Business, creating a cashflow-magic show, and even how to create a residual income so you can play with magic at home while you rake it in, if that's what you're into...

Today only: Penguin Monte Party with EVERY order.

Dear Penguin,

Everyone loves a good solid card trick - but sometimes you just need to BLOW THE ROOF OFF. And we've got just the thing.

The Penguin Monte is a social jumper cable. It's not a STORY about gambling, it gets your WHOLE AUDIENCE in on the action.

The premise is simple. Three cards - and they've gotta find the ACE. But no matter how hard they try, under the most impossible conditions, the ace is always under your control. And the best part is - it's super EASY to learn.

Check out professional card magician Oz Pearlman performing The Penguin Monte here:
http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=923

It's no secret, The Penguin Monte is in the working repertoire of dozens of the top card men in the world, and has been one of our most popular tricks for a long time - and for good reason: it's an ABSOLUTE CROWD PLEASER. No matter if you're performing for your friends, at a Super Bowl party or for a holiday dinner at the Ritz-Carlton, you're going to get some HUGE reactions.

And to get you ready for party season, we wanted to put together a ridiculously special package. Check this out:

We're taking the regular Penguin Monte trick which ALREADY comes with 2 SETS of gimmicked Bicycle brand playing cards, advanced handling and a downloadable instructional video from world-renowned magic coach Oz Pearlman (normally $14.95), and we're throwing in a custom, totally vintage faded DECK of Bicycle 808s with a BONUS set of matching gimmicks! And on top of all of this, we're also including "More For Your Monte" an e-book by card expert Jeremy Luton that teaches THREE more killer card tricks you can do with the gimmicked Penguin Monte cards.

Oh sorry -- did I forget to mention we're giving you all of this cool stuff for FREE?

So what's the bad news? Supplies are limited so we're only doing it for ONE DAY - that's 24 HOURS ONLY!

We love the holiday season and we want you to be prepared before it starts. So place ANY order for physical goods before 1pm THURSDAY November 12th and we will make sure to include the Penguin Monte Party Pack for zip, zero, nada, nothing :)

We have some big plans for this holiday season, so we wanted to warm you up slowly.

Check out the Penguin Monte Party Pack trailer here:

You can also check out the Vintage 808s and the e-book here (you really gotta hold these to see how good they look -- I was surprised)

You don't even have to add the Penguin Monte Party Pack to your cart, it will automatically be added for you.

For Professionals:
Penguin Monte is angle-proof, instantly reset, a clever secret and it fits right in your regular card case. We're very proud to offer you pro-level magic tricks like The Penguin Monte, but we also know it's not right for everyone. If you have any questions about wether The Penguin Monte would be right for your next gig, just email us at magician@penguinmagic.com and you'll get a prompt reply from a professional magician.

Got your props? How about MAD props, high-fives and a chest bump! Get ready, they're coming.
