Success In Circuit Lies
John Bannon Magic: 
It's finally here, I predict that this will be (for me at least) the release of the year, and its only May! Safe to say I have pre-ordered my copy. After seeing some of the material when I saw John lecture at TSD I can tell you sight-unseen, just buy it! The Bullet Train Assembly will fast become the ultimate ace assembly, and I have already been doing Last Man Standing for a few years now, which is an outstanding triumph routine... and John's take on Shuffle-Bored again for me is the last word on the subject... and Dave's Game which is Dave Solomon's take on John's version of a Jack Carpenter trick, with a Dean Dill idea thrown in (phew!) is also worth the price of the book. As you can tell I'm excited about this!

Extreme Unicycling
Crazy Unicycling: a windows media video clip of some extreme unicycling. Another thing on my to-do list is to learn to Unicycle which I have mentioned before on the blog but just never got round to purchasing one, maybe this summer...
Me and my Shadow
Apparently Edward Victor of EYE and Rope trick fame was also a master at Hand Shadows, whilst not totally related to magic, like all allied arts I find it fascinating. I remember seeing Raymond Crowe at FISM get a standing ovation for his shadow act. Check out some of these links: Bill Douglas Hand Shadows, Hand Shadow Illusions, Ashley's Shadows, Performing with Hand Shadows.
