Hi, this is Paul from Wunderground Magic, your intrepid investigative reporter with the latest hard hitting news scoops that the mainstream media just won't tell you.
ADULT WORKSHOP SCHEDULE CHANGE FOR JULY FOURTH
The adult magic workshop, regularly scheduled for July 1, will be held the following Tuesday, July 8. Go out and enjoy the fireworks, then come to class prepared to learn to perform magic with money. We'll teach you how to pull money out of the air, bend coins with your bare hands, and throw coins higher than a tall building in a single toss (but that's only because tall buildings can't throw coins.)
KIDS MAGIC CLASSES
If you're looking for a fun Saturday morning activity that improves dexterity, enhances creativity, enriches public speaking skills, and transforms you into an amazing person - come to magic classes at Wunderground Magic.
Classes are ongoing throughout the summer, and if you have to miss a class because of vacation or other activities, you'll have the option of making it up later or taking a different class.
WEBSITE
Those of you who, like me, read the entire web everyday will have already noticed that our new web site is up and running. We have stories and events and photos and props and products and the content keeps growing constantly. So link to the site and check it regularly. You never know what you may find.
One thing you will find on the website are links to magical people. If you have a website for magic or juggling or clowning or puzzles or anything that may be of interest to the Wunderful people (even if you're a competitor), send a brief description, a link, and an optional picture and help us help promote you.
PERFORMERS CLASS
It's always showtime for our performers' class. In July we'll be performing at a senior center and for a street festival.
The city of Clawson will be closing the streets the evening of July 12 just to allow us to perform. Then afterward maybe they'll show a movie or something. Come out and cheer for your favorite performer.
IT'S A GET TOGETHER
Abbott's Magic, in Colon, Michigan will be hosting its annual Magic Get-Together August sixth through the ninth. For those of you who haven't attended before, Colon is a city less than half the size of Clawson - about one mile square - that contains three magic shops. The city, summer home of famed magician Harry Blackstone, has been designated "the Magic Capital of the World." The school uses a rabbit for a mascot.
Every year in early August the town is overrun by magicians from all over the world. There is magic in the streets, at the restaurants, in the bars, throughout the schools, and gospel magic at the churches. In the evening the high school is filled with the greatest magicians in the world performing their acts. More details at http://www.magicgettogether.com
Berkley Tours and Travel has a special Magic Get Together package (details are available here at the store) or you could just drive out and experience the magic of Colon for yourself.

INTRODUCING A WUNDERGROUND EXCLUSIVE FROM OUR VERY OWN MIKE FERRARI
The Hide and Seek Deck-A card is selected and then lost into the middle of the deck. The magician explains how normally he is the one who finds the selected card, but he is tired of doing that so he is going to have his friend George do it for him. He pulls a quarter out of his pocket and lets everyone look at it. After examination he slams the quarter on top of the deck, and when he lifts his hand, the quarter is gone. Then taking a look at the cards there is a gap in them. Going through the cards where the gap is, its their card and the quarter is literally embedded in the card.
SEE HIM AT THE WUNDERGROUND THEN ENJOY HIM OVER DINNER
Vince will be performing at the Rainforest Cafe every Wednesday from 5:30 until 8:30. Come out and see magic and balloon animals, giant fish tanks and wildlife animatronics.
Every Tuesday from 6 until 8 PM he'll be doing walk-around magic at Famous Dave's. Enjoy world famous ribs and the Wilbur pig mascot.
EVENTS
There's lots of great magic coming up for the month of July. Check the calendar on our website for the latest.
NEW MAGIC
We have the Dan and Dave "Trilogy", and we also have "Dangerous", "Digital Dissolve", and "Panic" from Theory 11 magic. We also have "Silver Impression", an effect that's burning hot - so hot you'll melt your fingerprint right into a borrowed quarter. "Money" is Jay Noblezada's DVD that allows you to carry an entire act in your wallet.
Our sponge promotion was such a success that we've introduced a whole line of sponge items, including hot dogs, teeth, eggs, cookies, frogs, and rabbits. If you were getting bored with red sponge balls, we've got a whole rainbow of colors including blue, green, purple, and black. (Okay, so black's not a color nor is it in the rainbow, but work with me here.)
For jugglers, we just received new juggling clubs, diabolos, devil sticks, and more juggling balls than you can shake a devil stick at in an assorted variety of colors and sizes.
And tomorrow we'll be getting all new stuff yet again, so drop in and check us out.
