The new year has waved its magic wand and catapulted us all into the next round. I hope you all had a magical end to the holidays and are ready for what’s to come.
Well, my own end of the year was rather … let’s call it “adventurous”. Just before the big celebration, SOLIDMAGIC was visited by a digital prankster driver – no, not Santa Claus, nor one of his reindeer, but a hacker who probably thought to himself: “Let’s end the year with a bang!” And so my beloved database was sent to the digital afterlife.
But don’t worry, like any good magician I of course have an out – or in this case a backup in the cloud. So I spent the festive period leading up to the New Year doing nothing less than a major rebuilding project. It was a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle, but sadly not the puzzle of a lifetime.
Now that the smoke has cleared and all the bunnies (and data) are safely back in the hat, it’s time to bring you back what you love so much: new editions of tried and tested tricks and gimmicks. So you can wave your wands, get your capes out of the closet and get ready for a season of amazement and “how did he/she do that?” moments.
Each month I’ll be highlighting one effect in particular. We start the year with the CALENDARIUM effect, which I have “tweaked” a little and should be a treat for lovers of commercial and, above all, easy-to-perform magic.
We are looking forward to the Zauberbörse in Sindelfingen, which will finally take place again on January 6, 2024 in the Stadthalle Sindelfingen. SOLIDMAGIC will be represented with a dealer stand and of course I would be delighted to welcome you there in person.
Magical greetings and here’s to a sparkling new year,
Alexander
