Message from Noblezada

Dear Penguin Customer,

About a month ago I received a phone call that I will never forget:

"Hi, This is Jay..."

"Jay! I love your trick! It's beautiful!"

"Who is this?"

"This is David Blaine."

"... "

Jump to today:

In two short days ABC will be airing "Drowned Alive" starring David Blaine. David is currently (as you read this!) living in a sphere of water. He's on life support with no food... only water! David has already been in the tank for five days. On the 7th day the oxygen will be cut off and David will attempt to surpass the world record and hold his breath for over nine minutes. The cameras will be rolling!

During the show, footage of David performing magic will be shown. He will be showcasing some brand new magic that I am very proud of... my brand new Self Tying Shoelace!

David Blaine hand picks the magic he performs and works with a team of some of the most creative minds in the world. So you can imagine my smile when he called me that day! The special is built around a live event, so nothing is guaranteed, but David Blaine is expected to perform my Self Tying Shoelace at least once in the special.

ABC has posted some video so you can see a sneak peek of David Blaine performing Self Tying Shoelace here: http://www.tv.com/david-blaine-drowned-alive/show/58647/videos.html

I invite you to celebrate this event with me by gathering up your family and friends, and watching this show on May 8th, this Monday, on ABC. Be with your loved ones and spend this magical time together.

It's a 2 hour special, so get ready for one intense evening! Monday Night at 8:00pm on ABC. And after the special check out http://www.penguinmagic.com/noblezada.php for a video of me performing the effect!

Best,

Jay Noblezada
