Dirt, it's "Back to School" time already!

When I was in school there was nothing I hated more than "back to school" commercials. In the middle of August, the last thing I wanted to be reminded of was my steadily growing need for new pencils, folders, and clean clothes.

The worst part was that marketers started running "back to school" commercials when we still had a month of summer on the calendar... a month!

Penguin Magic hopes this year to be the LAST company on earth to remind you that attendance may very well be taken first thing in the morning for much of the next nine months. That said, now that September is undeniably upon us we think it's appropriate to point out that even spectators who are required to be in attendance by law deserve to see some new magic every once in awhile.

With you, our last great hope for an entertaining school experience in mind, we're proud to announce the Penguin Back to School Bonus.

Update on Penguin 2.0

Hey guys,

Just a quick update on the new site. We're making steady progress. We just finished the ListSurfer feature that will let you create and surf all kinds of different lists. This is a lot like Amazon's ListMania, but with more focus on making the lists fun to surf.

We're still about two weeks out from making the switch. I'll keep you posted as we get closer to golive.

The Dracula Book Test is HERE!

I'm extremely excited today because the Dracula Book Test is FINALLY HERE!

This is THE book test performed by Morgan in his Magic Castle act this July. The book is brilliantly put together by Alexander Black and Troy Cherry, and it's extremely fooling.

If you're looking to add an extremely strong piece of mentalism to your act, be sure to check this one out. In my opionion this is one of the very best items on the site.
