It is my absolute pleasure to announce that this February I will be hitting the road with one of magic’s true rising stars- Caleb Wiles- on a Canadian/United States tour. Caleb’s lecture is full of incredible close-up routines that are practical, entertaining, and downright awesome. Drawing from his highly acclaimed book “High Spots”, as well as brand new material, Caleb will be teaching a version of Re-set that even Paul Harris says is the best ever, a self-working miracle that DESTROYS magicians, practical birthday-themed card effect for the working pro… and so much more.
I could go on and on about how much I like Caleb’s work. Years ago, before he was publishing material, I discovered one of his effects on Youtube. I was so taken with it that I contacted him to ask his permission to use it (he graciously said yes). A year later I was in NY with Joshua Jay and he handed me a new book he had just finished working on- he asked me to read it and tell him what I thought. I was excited when I saw it was Caleb’s book, and read it cover to cover (I later voted for it as book of the year in a Café thread). Finally, while in Oklahoma for an amazing convention several months ago Caleb was on the line-up along with some other heavy hitters- Paul Gertner, Paul Cummins, and I’m guessing a whole bunch of other guys named Paul. One of the highlights for me was Caleb’s lecture (as it was for many people), and that was the final straw. I knew I needed to get him on tour. Again, I could go on and on about him, but why take my word for it? "Caleb Wiles is the real deal. His methods are devious, his presentations are clever and fun, and he's got loads of natural ability." – David Williamson “I unreservedly urge any group out there to book him. You will be very happy.” – Steve Bryant "Caleb Wiles is a clever, logical creator of magic effects. His approach is fresh yet practical, and I'm a huge fan!" – Joshua Jay “Be sure your audiences tighten their belts, because you're going to fool the pants off of them with this stuff.” – Rich Aviles “I added myself to this list just to feel like a big shot!” – Ben Train “High Spots is a refreshing book on card magic that everyone should have.” – Bill Malone Below are the list of cities and dates Caleb will be appearing. These dates are locked in but check back soon because we may be adding one or two more to the list! Wednesday Feb. 16: Toronto, 7:30pm.

I'd love to do the Southern West Coast. You guys rock so hard and so do the cities.
I'm planning something interesting for the future, and it'll involve the west coast. We'll see if it ever comes to fruition (still working on my Erdnase-related project as well!!!). Ben

Ben,
Is his version of "Re-set" in print?

Hey Panlives,
it is. It appeared in the True Astonishment DVD set, and a more refined version appeared in his book "High Spots" under the title "Reswinddled". You should totally come to the lecture brother- it's interesting, commercial magic that ranges in difficulty from intermediate to self-working. Plus Caleb is awesome. Ben

It was Ben's initial recommendation to "High Spots" that got me hooked on Caleb's work!
"Reswindled" gets a lot of good press (as it should) but take a look at Caleb's handling of the Harry Lorayne's "Big Fella, Little Fella"! Tis one of my personal all time faves! And YES Ben, some of would love to see ya on the West Coast again! MMc |
