Michael Weber:

Ask yourself – Is there a Drawing Duplication so perfect that all you need is any four pieces of cardboard, any four markers and a room full of spectators you want to destroy?

No preshow, no glimpses, no nonsense. Get a sneak peek at a miracle.

Is it possible to learn a memorized deck in two minutes or less? Can you instantly, easily and permanently know every card in order, the card at every number from 1 to 52 and the numerical and relative location of every card using any deck and only your brain?

Yes, and Michael Weber will teach you.

Can you make a drawing of a spoon visibly, magically and permanently bend using a single business card and any pen or pencil?

Yes, and Michael Weber will show you how.

When was the last time someone fooled you, inspired you, made you laugh, made you think and most of all made you proud to call yourself a magician?

Michael Weber has performed his own brand of original, award-winning magic (IBM, SAM, FISM) for over three decades. You have seen his work in Hollywood blockbusters including Forrest Gump, Ocean’s 13, The Prestige and The Illusionist. Now you can meet the man behind the miracles.

Weber promises an amazing blend of original magic with cards, impromptu non-card magic and powerful mentalism.

Join Michael Weber and press the reset button on the way you think about magic.

   David Regal.  It's DAVID REGAL, do I really have to say anything else?  Unless you've been doing card magic under A ROCK you're already marking this date on your calendar.

  What, really?  A rock?  Well, ok then...

David Regal is quite easily the most prolific, brilliant magician currently walking the planet.  He can make miracles with most any objects and could not be defined as a "Card guy" or a "Coin worker" or even a "Close-Up" magician, no; David is far too diverse for such limiting monikers.

To top it off, he's probably the nicest guy in the craft.

You really, really don't want to miss this.
