Intro
These posts are from my personal journal—a collection of brainstorming sessions and magical ideas I’ve gathered over time. The same material was compiled into a physical book, which has a fun little surprise: a flipbook-style animation (a cardtoon effect) when you flip through the pages!
While this wasn’t the original intention, I thought, Why not? A magician’s book should have a bit of magic built into it! To keep it affordable, I made the book black and white and lowered the price to just $15. Soon, I’ll share a video example of the flipbook animation, inspired by a classic Mickey Mouse clip.
If you’re interested in the physical book (with the bonus animation), you can find it here:

The rest of these posts are material from the book; a mix of thoughts, lecture notes, and discoveries about creating magic tricks. The writing is casual—just reminders and musings for myself.
Enjoy the magic! I hope it inspires, motivates, and gives you space to sketch out your own magical ideas too.
Exercise Challenge
Is it possible to perform the classic linking rings trick by using examinable rings?
In a Genii magazine dated August 1941, there is an advertisement by Winston Frier for his trick titled "The Maxam Ring Illusion," in which he claims to use three solid, examinable rings, solid steel, with no threads no adhesive, and no magnet!!
As you read through these blogs, attempt to discover a solution for how you can do this? Keep in mind that Frier has a way and a solution. So, maintain a positive attitude while considering potential method. Try to figure it out.
