Official Derren Brown Site

November 29, 2006

www.derrenbrown.co.uk is the official site of Derren Brown. It’s one of those slightly annoying flash sites where you don’t quite know where to click, and when you do, you don’t know what’s going to happen.

Still, it looks great and certainly has an eerie, mysterious feel to it. Of course, Mr Brown doesn’t have to explain to people that he performs at weddings, parties and barmitsvahs.

Has an interesting links page. See if you can find it.

Magician-Entertainer.co.uk

November 26, 2006

Magician-Entertainer.co.uk is another site of mine.

I created as a place where I could put more detailed information about magic and having magicians at events, info that doesn’t really fit on my main site. I’ve recently added a page about wedding entertainers.

It also has info about other magicians so I send people to this site if I am already booked up.

Magic Videos Galore

November 24, 2006

Magic Videos Galore is another new blog I’ve created.

There are loads of magic videos on the web and I’m always finding really good or funny videos that I don’t post about on my main blog. So, Magic Videos Galore is where I’ll be telling the world about them.

All Magic – Magic Show

November 22, 2006

allmagic.com is a well designed and well established site with a lot of good content.

There’s usually some good effect ideas, although often old techniques you’ve heard of but never used, but also good articles, video and podcasts about other areas of magic such as routining and marketing.
Maybe I’m just getting old and cynical but the product reviews are a little odd – they all seem to be very positive….

Maybe they only bother to review the good stuff?

The Phantom Notebooks

November 19, 2006

Now, there are quite a few magic and magician’s blogs out there, but one of the most entertaining is The Phantom Notebooks by the Smiling Mule.

It’s supposed to be ‘Personal notes on magic and sleight of hand’ and there are a lot of interesting posts about sleights and magic philosophy, but the best entries concern Bish the Magish – Glen Bishop. They have something of a fued going.

Although Mr Bishop appears to have removed his half of the vitriol from his main blog, there is still plenty at his blog number 3.
