Please back Hidden Leaves!

By Jim Krenz Leave a Comment

My friend Mahdi The Magician has a dream of producing a custom deck of playing cards that are beautiful—they have a historical flair, but will be printed using all of the modern skill of the US Playing Card Company.

Help Madhi's dream come true by backing Hidden Leaves on Kickstarter!

Juan of a kind

By Jim Krenz Leave a Comment

I just saw 
a energetic Spaniard 
(small in stature, 
yet huge in heart) 
instill joy and laughter 
and pure wonderment 
in an audience 
of nine hundred 
with a deck of cards.

A review of reviews

By Jim Krenz Leave a Comment

What is most important to you when it comes to reading a magic review?

Questions that I believe need to be asked of each product:

  • Can this fool my audiences?
  • Can this entertain my audiences?
  • Is it practical/will it go into my act?

The following are secondary concerns, but should be considered:

  • The quality of the props
  • The quality of the instructions
  • The overall satisfaction with the product

Finally:

  • How accurate are the advertising claims and trailer?
  • How original is the effect?
  • How original is the method?

What is most meaningful for you?
