Hi everyone,
Just saw this item at Hocus Pocus called "Animated Magic Book". Does anybody have this already? Can it be done surrounded? Thanks a lot. Sal Amangka |

Hi, It sounds like a cardtoon/colouring book principal and yes I would imagine it can be worked surrounded, but how many kids can undertand, know and remeber a playing card? Also Iwont use anything with the word 'MAGIC' on.

Then why is your aviator showing your use of the old Supreme trick book 'Magic Speccls"?
I don't think 'MAGIC' printed on the front cover deters from the trick at all...re: Magic Colouring Book?! |

Thanks for being on the same wavelength Mr. Scott. I'm also looking forward to receiving your DVD! I'm very interested in your use of magic in kidshows!

I'm still waiting for Matt to answer the question.
Yours Funfully

Hi guys,
Thanks for all you post regarding the "Animated Magic Book". I' about to order one right now. |

Maybe I put Magicmatt in an awkward position regarding my question to him about the use of Magic Spells book...If I inadvertedly did so, let me apologize. It just seemed a bit inconsistent with what he said in his post. Perhaps it was just for advertising and the prop wasn't actually used in his show.
I would like to thank magicmatt for his very informative and intuitive posts on this forum and hope he will continue to do so for the benifit of us all. Emazdad, I also thank you for all you have shared with us here! Perhaps as I'm not married and have no kids, I lack that particular insight in the world of kids that you do...but I do teach secondary school so perhaps I have an 'educational' perspective that comes in handy! |

Still in the dark as to what an "animated magic book" is. What is the effect to the viewer?
Also interested why Matt does not like the word Magic to be shown on props? We have the (not as old) Supreme Magic Spells book - you know, the one with the pop-ups/Goodbye/The End features. I find it highly visual and attention grabbing. Tony. |

I guess many of us are waiting with baited breath for magicmatt to solve the enigma that is his use(or non-use) of the Magic Spells book from the now defunct but invaluable Supreme magic. I also have used this book with great response and wish I still had it (but it was worn down to beyond repair...wonder if another company has been able to reproduce it?)
We're not putting magicmatt on the ropes, just curious as to why the word MAGIC on props causes such trepidation amongst kidshow magis?! |

Hi Folks
Glad to report that Top secret magic in the UK stock the BOOK OF SPELLS - Don't know if it's the same quality as Supreme but it looks pretty good on their web pages. Wacky |

BIG HELLO, since everybody is willing to here me LOL.
Thanks magicburn for the kind words! I have had both versions of the magic spells book and the new version is exactly the same as the old one, if not better. My mentor is a very good children's magician and he taught me never use anything that's says 'magic' except for magic spells as magic spells make the magic happen. If you have prop that says magic on it puts the kids of being entertained by the trick because they know its magic. If they see a magic colouring book even if the pictures are about magic they kids will think they cant be doing the magic you cant be doing but the magic the book is doing it because it say's 'Magic.' I cant really explain well (matt you should of kept your mouth shut- me thinks.) Basically because my mentor taught me and because of my psychology. sorry for the poor excuse, I tried my best. Magic burn this is the link your looking for http://www.topsecretmagic.co.uk/children......OfSpells Matt |
