Wanted: Mad Hatter Magic

I've always been a big fan of magic, as in conjuring.  As a kid, I actually performed as a magician at other kids' parties.

What?  Oh God, you seriously want to see a photo of me doing that?

Oh, you bastard.  Go on, then.

Well now, that's embarrassing.

Why yes, that is a Starsky & Hutch T-shirt.  What of it?

Ahem.

And back then, I loved this range of pocket-sized tricks called Mad Hatter Magic, released in the UK by the company Inzani-Henley.  They came in small bags, but also in small boxes.  There was a Mad Hatter Magic Club, which I joined.

Nowadays, I still have plenty of that stuff, but I'd like to find more.  Especially those Mad Hatter Magic tricks (or jokes, come to think of it) still in their sealed bags as sold in shops.  So if you have any and would like to off-load them to a nostalgia-gripped buffoon, drop me a line!

Here are some pics, which may jog your brain cells...

I'm a pretty good 'palmer' of stuff. I can vanish and re-appear stuff like coins such that people's eyes widen in surprise. I do it a lot, to cashiers and barmen and such.

Yes. I'm that pain-in-the-ass. :)

Nice post.
