Last week I was a book dealer at Magifest 2025, an amazing magic conference put together by Andi Gladwin and Joshua Jay. 900 magicians from all around the world gathered to see and share some good magic.
The highlight for me was opening night, featuring David Kaplan, a modern day Charlie Chaplin-esque entertainer, where things just happen to him, all while he manages to perform some great magic. Amazing performer!
We had a lot of great performers stop by Don's Magic & Books, many of which you can see below.
Group 1:
Group 2:
Group 3:
How many of them can you identify? I think I can still identify most of them.
Thanks to all of you that stopped by and introduced yourself to Greg, Bruce & I. I really do have some of the best customers, and I appreciate all of the the goodwill you share.
While attending Magifest, I purchased 3 more small collections, all of which will eventually show up on my site. Sales were great also. It is encouraging to know that there is still value in books to many magicians.
INVENTORY DAYS
We are in the middle of doing inventory. That means that some titles will not currently appear on my site, but as we get time to check stock numbers, everything will again reappear, so that all 3800 items are available for purchase once again.
Stay tuned, because once inventory is done, there will be another sale, hopefully by the 2nd week of February.
OTHER CONVENTIONS
In 2025, Don's Magic & Books will be displaying and selling at Gateway Close-Up Convention, AbraCORNdabra, TRICS, and then the Winter Carnival of Magic, of which I will be also be performing my comedy juggling/unicycle routine. Will you be there?
Until we meet again, keep on reading those magic books.
