Magic University Update
Magic University is rapidly filling up with founding members. This exciting venture with Mark and Nani Wilson is the first of its kind ever offered. Mark has generously offered the following free lesson for your viewing pleasure. This will give you an idea of the quality and the ease of instruction you can look forward to once you join Magic University! Remember, your chance to become a Founding Member and receive all the extra benefits of doing so is an offer available for a limited time. See our web site for details.
You are cordially invited to an Afternoon of Allakazam!
Last week, we told you about an exciting event happening here at Hocus Pocus on Saturday, April 4th. Mark and Nani Wilson will be here to host an Afternoon of Allakazam. From 1:00-4:00 PM, you'll be able to hear how it all began. Then Mark and Nani will teach you several effects that you can perform instantly and all the supplies necessary will be provided at the door. I personally can't think of two better people to teach magic than these two! Mark and Nani will be available for all questions and answers for what we guarantee will be an afternoon that you'll never forget. And, did we mention, this is a FREE event? That's right; it won't cost you a dime! I've been talking to Mark, almost daily, and he is very excited about coming here and has several special surprises for all in attendance. Seating for this special event is limited to only 100 people, and you must make reservations in advance. You can do so by phone at 800-407-4040 or 559-266-5150 or via email at sales@hocus-pocus.com. As of today's date, we are almost 50% full, so don't delay! We look forward to seeing you here for this very special and momentous occasion.
Until next time,
Paul
