Juan Luis Rubiales, who has been mentioned on this blog before as a fine caricaturist, is now turning his drafts into small busts to decorate your magic den or bookshelf. Some of the busts, like Juan Tamaríz, Eugene Burger or Harry Houdini look very adorable to me. Some may even have a little magic trick up their sleeves.
Check out this project on Kickstarter here!

Sadly, 2019 saw the passing of quite a few magic heavyweights, among them
Simon Aronson
John Cornelius
Piet Forton
Anthony Owen
Eddy Taytelbaum
Johnny Thompson
Don Wayne
And let’s not forget our past masters Eugene Burger († 2017) and Ricky Jay († 2018).
Thank you for your wonderful magic, your creative talent, your generosity in teaching, helping and sharing, and for lifting and advancing the adorable art of magic!
May you all rest in eternal peace.
As the magicians’ philosopher, the soft-spoken but hard-hitting Eugene Burger once observed:
“The house of magic has many rooms (…).”
…and a darn big shabby basement, one might add.
