Magic Ian

Magic Ian may not have invented the professor's nightmare, but the effect he started his lecture with could have fooled people into thinking he had. Ian's re-use of existing props makes his lectures extremely valuable for anyone with a junk drawer full of "magical" items. Ians lecture demonstrated new purposes for such props as rope, sponge balls, ring and spring, and even the crystal ball tube. The majority of his effects were practical and easy to perform. Ian took the time to explain how each effect was accomplished and allowed for questions and a hands on approach for learning. The material he had for sale was nicely packaged and offered at more than fair prices. Additionally, Ian joined ring members before and after the lecture for food and fellowship.

Another nice e-mail

I just called to stroke your ego :)  I  saw your post on facebook the other day about how a guy said an international  local entertainer .... :)...however, I was at blackpool at the dealers room  and just realized that people like you who create "magic" and not just tricks  are a thing of the past!  You really have a mind of genius for  magic!

Cheers,

Nice comment

Dear Magic Ian,
I was a child at the Tannen's Camp (Now i am an instructor there) and still have many of your lecture notes that you had printed up especially for us, from back in the day.
I also attended many Jubilees and of course Mario & Steve's "Magic in The Mountains"
My favorite routine of yours, still, is the linking ropes, your handling of the change bag with the effect still makes me grin even to this day.
I was at my friends house and he had one of your ORIGINAL cutting an arm in 2 (I forgot the official name)I remember seeing the effect on the shelves of Mario's shop and of course Tannen's.
It triggered my pleasant past memories of the good 'ol days, and ****ed me off that you have been ripped off many times, which is why in my posts on here I defend me & my partners products the best I can.

Thank you for helping shape me into a positive magic thinker who likes to share his work with the magic campers and other honest and positive magi.

Sincerely,
Vinny
