There are men…so godlike, so exceptional, that they naturally, by right of their extraordinary gifts, transcend all moral judgment or constitutional control: There is no law which embraces men of that calibre: they are themselves law. Aristotle
No art, however minor, demands less than total dedication if you want to excel in it. Leon Battista Alberti

Welcome to The Metaphysical Magic Store!
This is my on-line store for a series of publications on the theory and performance of mystery entertainment.
I have been studying and performing magic and mentalism for over 35 years now and my style of performance has evolved into 'theatrical mentalism' which combines magic and mentalism with philosophy, history, science, and the unseen world in ways that have proved 'enthralling, charming, and highly enjoyable.'
Press stories and audience feedback have claimed
'...to call him a conjuror is to liken Barack Obama to a Parish Councillor!' '...the future of magic...' '...a warm and friendly package...' '...he has the hardest sceptics in the palm of his hand.'
Metaphysical Magic draws on the parallel worlds of scientific and esoteric metaphysics and combines them with the theory and methods of magic and mentalism to produce a special blend of mystery entertainment that any discerning performer will find scintillating, imaginative, and captivating for a variety of performance settings.
The serialised material contained here includes:
(1) essays on my philosophy of performing and how it relates to bigger questions in life;
(2) routines that show how I combine different principles in ways that address a bigger issue but remain entertaining and moving at the same time;
(3) guides on the design and performance of scripted shows that use music, props, visual aids, and audience participation. The shows outlined in these books are: An Evening of Metaphysical Magic (also available on DVD from www.metaphysical-magician.com) and An Evening of Enchantment.
The books can be purchased in hardcopy only. Other products are available from my website (please see below).
‘I initially settled down to read this thinking I'd be finished in a single sitting. Not so. This book, whilst small, is packed full of thoughts, insights and ideas. The kind of thoughts, insights and ideas that prompt you to look up every few minutes, stare into space and contemplate the new directions and possibilities in which you might take your mentalism...the entire book has the feel of a meticulously thought out labour of love; one that only a seasoned mentalism practitioner could produce. In a market that’s saturated with overpriced manuscripts of regurgitated effects and methods, this little book comes as a real breath of fresh air.’ - - Harrison Richards
'It is an Aladin's Cave of our Beloved Art!' - - Roni Shachnaey
'Fantastic...best book I have read in a while...' - - Bill Montana
