PDX Magicians UNITE

Hey there,

I'm not sure if you are aware but there is a collection of magicians in the PDX area and the "COUV" that meet regularly. We welcome all magicians in the area, and if you are not a magician but would like to see some live magic, I will be posting a calendar soon of the events in the area.


To name a few, The Vancouver Community Center (Marshall) will be offering magic classes in the winter.

Magician Brian Proctor is performing every Sunday at Twilight Pizza Bistro from 6-8. The address is 224 NE 4th Avenue Camas, WA

Can’t wait until Sunday? You can catch him Friday’s at 77 NE 4th Street, 4th Street Brewing. Located in Downtown Gresham on N.E. 4th & Roberts. Magic from 6:30-8:30!

You can also catch us at Saturday Market as well. If asked, please PICK A CARD!

If the rain has you stuck indoors, you can always see some interactive magic. Grab a deck of cards then click...



Until next time...be good!

Happy New month!

My goodness time is just flying! There has been an ongoing repeat of THEM (Totally Hidden Extreme Magic) over the past few weeks.

There is a new venue in Sunnyvale open to non magicians to see some high profile talent, called the Magic Garage....some info can be seen here...

Off to a show....I'll post more soon!

More Vids, and Upcoming Shows

Hey there world,

I know I'm all slack dackery when it comes to updates. For that I apologize. After many shows in the past few months, and with a lot of feedback, I have decided to remove my "Escape" routine, featuring the handcuffs, from my act. No no...you can't talk me out of it.

Instead, I have been dabbling with an even more dangerous effect. I can't go into it here, but here is a hint...


That's right, I'm gonna morph into a young British kid with a blueish face! Live!

OH..and DON'T try that at home. It is JUST an illusion, and I am doing a much "larger" and funnier version.

I will be performing my new stage show on 6/26-6/28 at the US Women's Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Check the monthly newsletter on the website for some free tricks to learn.

That's it for now. I'll check in with you next week!

Magic Lessons

Hey there,

I shouldn't have promised more frequent updates. I'll make a valiant effort to update this at least once a week. I was hoping to have new tricks for you to learn on here, or links to some cool magicians from youtube. In keeping in that vain, here's a video of one of my buddies and his great mind reading effect...



Also I have been dabbling with this one for a bit. Grab a deck of cards and then click on this here video...




Also, I have a lot of public shows at various fairs and festivals coming up and I'd love to see ya. I'll post those once I get the confirmed dates (most are mid summer).

If you are on a committee or are part of a group (Kiwanis, Rotary, Boy/Girl Scouts, School events) drop me a line and I can offer you a special deal.

Have you ever wanted to learn magic? I am currently developing a curriculum for some classes offered over the summer and hoping to turn it into a full blown instructional dvd. If you are interested in helping me workshop some ORIGINAL, MIND BLOWING MAGIC, drop me a line at pete@petegmagic.com and we'll talk.

Until next time, be good!

Radio Magic, and new clip

Hello World,

I know I made a promise to update here more often, but I've been developing a new effect where I can read your mind virtually. I tried the effect while I was on the radio a few weeks ago, and it went well. I'm on my way to film it and add it to my youtube videos. I'll post the link when it's ready.

There is a new newsletter on the webpage. As always it has a simple trick to do (trick of the month). Any feedback of these effects would be appreciated.

I performed at the Chili Cookoff for the San Jose Police Department last weekend and got some good footage on tape.

All in all, things are just chugging along. I will be performing closeup magic for patients at O Connor Hospital on Tuesday.

I'll post later in the week.

Until then, be good.

Pete

Magic on the Radio?

Hey all,

I just got back from a nice road trip to Southern California, and did some magic down there.

Just wanted to drop a quick note that I will be doing magic on the radio on Wednesday from 3/25 from 4-6 on 104.1 (San Jose), or you can stream the show at http://www.live365.com/stations/kjcc

Make sure you have some cards ready, as I'll be doing some mind reading with those.

Also, I've been selected to perform for the San Jose Police Department's Chili Cookoff. It's happening on 3/28 from 12:00-5:00 p.m. at Club Auto Sport, 521 Charcot Ave. in San Jose. Come say hi! Information can be found here...http://www.sjpoa.com/Events/Special.asp?i=3#Event3

Til next time... Be good!

Festival Season

Hey all,

As the weather starts warming up (which doesn't take much, as we had a nice winter), we find ourselves getting closer to festival season.

The great thing about this is that the Bay Area, and San Jose specifically has such individual (read: sometimes really weird) festivals and a bunch of Art and Wine Festivals.

Most of these festivals have rock bands and singers, etc. I have been discussing this appeal with some of them and they have been receptive to having some magic shows. The dates of these performances will be posted soon.

There is also a Chili Cookoff fundraiser for the San Jose Police Department that I will be performing at. Chili and Magic...does it get any better than that?

I also will be performing a few routines for a cabaret style show in Oakland. Oakland!!! If anyone would consider coming to this and wants to ride with me...there is safety in numbers. haha.

Other than that, I saw the Farewell Performance from Siegfried and Roy

And it is quite well done. Roy is still in pretty bad shape, but it was a good special, and the standing ovation at the end was great.

Until next time....

Be Good.
