My Magic Art-Print Site is On Hiatus

 

For the moment, I’ve temporarily suspended my Magic Art Print site while I reconfigure several things behind the scenes. The current integration between the website, social media, and the printer simply wasn’t working the way I wanted it to. Rather than keep patching it together, I decided to pause it and rebuild it properly.

That said, I am still offering select limited-edition prints.

Some prints have already been retired because they simply weren’t moving, so a few pieces may never be offered again. However, all of the Houdini prints will be returning shortly, along with several brand-new Houdini-inspired works that I’m excited to release.

I know a number of people had expressed interest in different pieces over the past several months. If there’s a particular print you were hoping to get, email me at info@carnegiemagic.com   and put “ARTWORK” in the subject line. I’ll personally let you know what is currently available, pricing, and how to order while the new system is being built.

Now for the good news.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll also be releasing several original paintings from my private collection — pieces I’ve rarely shown publicly, and in some cases, never offered for sale. Among them are a Kellar-inspired piece, a highly abstract work of magic art, and possibly one of the Criss Angel paintings as well.

None of these works will be reproduced as prints. These are true one-of-a-kind originals.

In addition, I am officially opening the door for a very limited number of commissioned works.

At this stage, I’ll probably only accept two or three commissions total. These will be entirely hand-painted original works created by me personally — no AI-generated shortcuts, no mass production, just authentic artwork crafted over time and with intention.

I’ve been painting for more than 20 years, and recently I’ve seen my artwork begin achieving strong prices at auction. Whether you acquire an existing original or commission a custom piece, this is an opportunity to own something genuinely unique.

If you’re interested in available artwork, upcoming originals, or commissioning a custom piece, contact me directly at  with “ARTWORK” in the subject line.

The next phase of the collection is going to be much more exclusive — and once these originals are gone, they’re gone.

Carnegie Now Taking Commissions for Artwork in May

 

I don't do this often, but I am now accepting commissions for artwork this month. If you are interested in having a painting created of your favorite magician or perhaps yourself, then contact me. This is for my abstract portrait design only. There are various canvas sizes and styles to choose from. 

I have been commissioned in the past to do special works. I've done Cardini, Denny Haney of Denny and Lee Magic Studio, Ricky Jay, and others. Besides those, there are 70 or so others, many in private collections. Some were recently released as limited edition prints. 

For this commission, you are getting a hand painted canvas, there is NO Ai involved. This is old school artwork that you can proudly hang on your wall. Once you contact me and we agree on moving forward, there is a 50% non refundable deposit required. The remainder, plus shipping is due upon completion. Splitting the cost seems to help those who are a bit budget oriented. 

This is a first come first serve basis. I have very limited availability this month, so if you want a painting, please contact me ASAP.  You can reach me at info@Carnegiemagic.com and put the world ART or ARTWORK in the subject heading. 

Lost ART Has Been Found

 

I've been painting for more than 25 years now. In that time, a number of paintings have been acquired by collectors. I know where most of the artwork resides and with whom. But, there are pieces that I've sorta lost track of. Case in point, the Ricky Jay painting. This was purchased by a friend and collector in Virginia. I was aware that this person had gotten out of magic at one point and perhaps might have passed the painting on to someone else. I had an idea who that other person might be, the only problem was, that person had since died and their collection was scattered to the winds.

Denny-FOUND

Imagine my surprise when this painting turned back up a few days ago. Indeed, the original owner had either gifted or sold the painting to Denny Haney of Denny and Lee's Magic Studio. But as I said, Denny had died. Now, back in the day, I was commissioned to paint Denny himself, and that painting showed up in an auction a year or so ago. That was another painting I never expected to see. It has a good home today.

The Ricky Jay is going to another collector and I'm very happy as this person seems quite thrilled to be receiving it.

LOST

Are there other paintings? Yes. There are two David Bull paintings, he is the guy from the Le Grand David Magic Show (see left). There are two Cesareo Pelaez paintings, again, he is from le Grand David. There is a Houdini that I sold but lost the information of who bought it when my computer crashed. There is a Slydini painting which went to a collector who has since died. There is a Blackstone Sr painting that also went to a collector who has since passed away. Ken Klosterman owned a Thurston, which has never appeared in any of the auctions, that I know of, so it's lost. There might be more that I don't recall at the moment.

Then there are the ones in private collections. One collector owns: A Doug Henning, a Copperfield, the Dante w/Cigar, a Herrmann the Great, and the first Kellar painting I did. Another collector owns: the yellow Lance Burton, a Doug Henning w/Rainbow, and a Thurston Sawing in Half painting, oh and this guy also owns the Denny painting I mentioned above. There is a collector who owns my first Penn and Teller, another who owns a huge commissioned work of Cardini. There is a Thurston painting owned by a collector in Rhode Island. There are maybe a dozen more that are out there, and I know where they are. In fact, with most of them, I know the walls they hang on, lol. 

All of these I mentioned are originals. The prints are a whole different story. I will say, as an artist, it's rewarding to know that my artwork brings joy to people. Nothing worse than artwork that isn't displayed for everyone to see. Trust me, I have tons of that! There but so many walls in my home. I think this is every artist's curse. Even with selling a bunch of the artwork, I still have a ton here. But the good news, if you are interested, you can own a print, and possibly an original on the rare occasion that I let them go.
