Are there any members of the International Magicians Society here? They have a magic course on DVD advertized in MAGIC magazine last month. Is the magic course good? What is its main focus?
Thanx

Is that U.K. or U.S. based

The IMS is U.S. based, and run by Tony Hassini.
It is a commercial enterprise and not like the IBM or SAM.
From those to whom I have talked too, who have been involved, it's aimed at newcomers to magic.

I joined this years ago and promptly forgot about it. I did however, get 2 excellent VHS tapes for joining. They are titled: Mental Magic & The Great Masters Of Magic.

The Masters tape has some exceptional footage of Houdini and other magicians, and the Mental Magic tape is also good, covering some fundamentals of the art, which I do not do.

I also got a nifty Tie-tack too!

Is there any web site? I live in Costa Rica and I'd like to see something I can join. If you know about it please send me a message!
Thanks.

Here's the link to the website:

Just remember, Google is your friend. Takes about 10 seconds to type in the name "International Magicians Society" and hit the enter key.

Hi Timothy.
Same here. The tie pin is neat too; what? ;-)

Hey Ricky! Google has been my friend too... for nearly four year now.

And dear "Mr What," I would suggest going for select DVDs... Some of them are very good. Rest are mainly targeted at Beginners, like Peter rightly said.

Hope this post does not come too late in the day ;-)
