More iCandy – Try it out with a Free Trial

by Merchant of Magic Leave a Comment

More iCandy has been released and we are really excited about it. RSVP magic has produced an excellent 2 DVD set that is full of close-up magic that could have been released as individual tricks. What makes it of special interest to us, is the inclusion of some excellent tuition sections on sleights every magician should know, but many don’t.

We had a good feeling about the set while when we heard it was in production earlier this year. The original iCandy won a place in the Best Magic Trick Awards in 2012, so we knew RSVP would need to pull something special out of the bag to follow the original iCandy DVD.

RSVP has kindly allowed us to give you a free trial of more icandy.

We would love to know what you think in the comments section below:

Dynamo Magician Impossible Series 3

Dymano Magician Impossible Series 3 Filming Now

Dynamo (Steven Frayne) is currently in South Africa filming the third series of Dynamo: Magician Impossible.

The third series is due to air in the second half of 2013.

Dynamo made an announcement to journalists that he will be staying in South Africa for a while to film a special episode.

Dynamo: “It was decided a while ago that there will be a third series. We’re a couple of weeks in – and I’ve decided to stay to do an episode of series three! I’ll visit Johannesburg, Soweto and Cape Town. I’ll bring some magic to South Africa!”

“I want to go into some of the deprived areas; I want to go into some of the richest areas and just show a cross-section of what South Africa is all about in the world. I’ve got a few ideas of things I want to do, but I think I need to meet some of the people of South Africa first to get a feeling of this place.”

Lee Hobbs ( Discovery Networks): “We are incredibly excited to announce that Dynamo will be filming an episode of series 3 of Dynamo: Magician Impossible in Cape Town and Johannesburg,” said Lee Hobbs from Discovery Networks.

“The series is one of the most successful shows we’ve ever aired on Discovery Channel in South Africa and a special episode filmed in its two biggest cities is sure to be a big hit with our DStv viewers.

“We can’t tell you anything that he will be doing, obviously, that would be ruining the magic, but I’m very excited,”

The Dynamo’s South African episode is due to be the first episode of the third series when it airs.

Dynamo continues to be a hit with UK viewers, achieving record ratings for the UK channel Watch. His magic is inspiring thousands of young people to think of magic in a new and refreshing way and to pick up a deck of playing cards and start practicing.

Magicians can learn many lessons from the way Dynamo performs, and we recommend that everyone learning to become a magician should make a point of watching the new series.

With many of the recent magic TV shows failing to be recommissioned this year (Penn and Teller Fool Us, The Real Hustle and Magicians) It’s great to see the series continue to excite the public.
