All Things Magic Edit-a-thon for MagicPedia
On September 14th, 2013, MagicPedia will be hosting an event called 'All Things Magic' Edit-A-Thon 2013. It's basically a one day event where people from all over the globe can get together 'virtually' and help to update, add and edit content for the MagicPedia Wiki page.
A little known fact is that yours truly, the Magic Detective, quietly has added content to MagicPedia. And I'm not the only one by any stretch. If you are interested in helping, all you need is a computer of some kind and an internet connection. Some areas are having actual events at specified locations so you can check the link below for more information.

News on Magic Detective Youtube Show Return
Sorry if it appears that I've been absent from the blog. I assure you, it's been on my mind even though I've not been able to attend to it as I would have liked this summer. It's been an extremely busy summer with shows, so I've been traveling and performing a lot.
But there is news. I'm working on new episodes of The Magic Detective Youtube Show and I'm very excited about some of the things in store. One of the new features I'm working on right now, is combing through old magic books and finding rarely seen magic routines, basically things that have been forgotten by our modern generation and then actually performing them.
The first routine will be from the book, The Modern Conjurer by C.Lang Neil and it's really unusual and rather brilliant. I'm not going to say WHAT routine it is, you'll have to wait till the episode appears.
I'm also hoping to visit some magicians graves in upcoming episodes and also stop by and see some magic collections! But I've got to finish my Summer run first and I still have 40+ shows yet before the month is over. Rest assured it will be returning!!!

Magic Mob at Denny's Magic July 28th
This will surely be a history making event. A 'Magic Mob' is being planned for both locations of Denny's Magic Shop (Vegas and Baltimore) for July 28th. The idea is the swarm the shops with customers and help keep these shops alive by spending money and supporting the shops. It's a win win all the way around. In the current economy magic shops across the country are closing. They seem to be going the way of the dinosaur. There are multiple reasons of course, the economy being #1, the internet being #2. So this 'magic mob' idea though not a perfect solution, it will certainly help. If you can't attend, you can still shop via phone or the internet on the day of the event. Go to www.dennymagic.com

BUT WAIT, THERE's MORE!!!
If you're in the area on Saturday July 27th, you could stop by the Comedy and Magic Society for their Saturday Night Show. The CMS is produced by Bob Sheets, Mark Phillips, Brian Curry and Barry Wood. Their show is in Gaithersburg MD. Check them out here: http://comedymagicsociety.com/services-view/july-27-2013/
