Every Magician .Com & Melanie Kerr – New & Old Interests

We were just reading this month’s Magic Magazine and saw two adverts of import.

The first is one we’ve watched for the last four years without fail, Melanie Kerr’s attractive and intriguing banner for her site, MK Magic.  More about that in a second.  We also noticed an advertisement for Every Magician .Com. 

Not more than a few minutes after completing our perusal of Stan Allen’s great periodical, we received an email from the man behind Every Magician .Com, Bram Charles. 

What are the odds? Don’t know, no clue, couldn’t tell you.  Interestingly, we asked a consultant for one of the big casinos about this and he said, "fifty-fifty, either it would happen or it wouldn’t."  

We don’t put much stock in this type of analysis. Plus, almost none of the modern-day casinos will take our action on this type of "prop bet."

Vegas has changed so much from the days when we actually lost a month’s pay on what now seems to be a bad bet: we wagered that the casino wouldn’t take our action on a bet whether it would take our action.

They took the bet and we lost.  We should have seen it coming.

Here’s what we heard from Every Magician .Com.  Check out the site and consider whether you could benefit from the services they offer.

Dan Sperry in the Headlines

Dan Sperry

This morning’s edition of The Chicago Tribune covered Dan Sperry’s recent announcement that he will be appearing in Las Vegas. As we first-reported last week here at Today’s Magic News.

SCHAUMBURG — A Schaumburg sleight-of-hand man is taking his show to an oasis of illusion.

Dan Sperry, 21, a magician and illusionist, will perform in Las
Vegas next week in “The World’s Greatest Magic Show,” a monthlong revue
at the Greek Isles Hotel and Casino. Sperry is a budding magician and
off-and-on-again student at the Art Institute of Illinois in Schaumburg.

His illusions focus on sleight-of-hand tricks, and his most popular
act involves a boomerang that turns into a bird. As an opening act in
the Vegas show, Sperry said he is planning to disappear.

“I change color, you know, disappear, all that stuff,” Sperry said.

But don’t ask how it’s done.

“It’s a secret,” he said. “Everybody knows you can’t share magic tricks.”

Sperry, a native of St. Cloud, Minn., moved to Schaumburg three
years ago to attend school. He got into magic at age 10, after
attending a David Copperfield show.”
