I've seen quite a few posts about Christmas lists recently and was wondering what people got (magic related) for Christmas. If you care to share, please jump in.

I got some incredible Lassen coins that were delivered on the 24th. The guy is amazing!

Hi,
I didn't have anything magic-related on my list, but I did pick up several decks of cards while shopping. None of the books that have been mentioned on this board were found, so I still have a little more shopping to do. I did manage to order a
"pen-thru-dollar" trick, and a few other things.

Hi William,

I followed your advice (thank you ) in giving Frank from pastamagic a shout and, as a result, Santa is on his way with the Bill Malone DVD-set...

Well, I didn't have anything magic on my list either, but my wife purchased for me...
Impossible Matrix, Healed and Sealed, The Raven, and Scotch and Soda. These are a little gimmick heavy, but oh well. She liked the descriptions of these tricks she read on the internet! I'm certainly not complaining.

Hope you've all had a safe and happy holiday.

I got Art of Astonishment 2 and 3. I guess I'll have to track down vol.1 myself. Oh, and my girlfriend gave me Goshman 3D sponge bunnies. The bunnies are her favorite trick that I do, but up till now I had used the 2D Adams version. It served me well for the past couple years, but I guess it was due for an upgrdade.

My wife gave me "The Magic of Michael Ammar" book and one of his "Classical Renditions" videos. They both look fantastic.

Enjoy!!

My lovely wife got me the new Robert Houdin biography from Todd Karr's Miracle Factory. It won't arrive from France until next month thus extending the Christmas festivites for a whole 'nother month.

I got Card College vol.3 and Close Up Card Magic by Harry Lorayne. Also some new sponge balls and a close up pad.

Justin

The videos I got are "Up In Smoke," "Dragon Thread," "Tim Wright's Zombie" and "Patrick Page's Sponge Balls."

For a very early Christmas present, I got Peter Marucci's lecture notes, Real-Life Table Hopping and Wild West Wonders.
And for a late present, I will be ordering Scott Guinn's sponge routine, Peanut Butter and Jelly, and 3D Rabbits.

Steve

I got the Art of Astonishment volume 3 and a deck of black bikes! (woohoo)

I got 'Try The Impossible' by Simon Aronson. It's a great, easy to perform card tricks that plays big. I also got 2 copies of David Blaine's new book, (keep your eyes peeled on ebay). I haven't yet finished it but so far it's quite good.

Santa was mighty good to me!!
He delivered...
Knuckle Busters 1, 2, 3, plus the notes and Three Fly - Awesome
McClintock Twist
Ivory Connection
Street Shells
Palms of Steel 2 - WOW!!!
Mahogany Wand with brass tips - Girlfriend

Non-magic stuff worth mentioning -

I consider myself very lucky this Christmas. I scored big time, way beyond what I expected. This was the best Christmas haul I’ve had as an adult. All these gifts felt like toys from my youth and made me forget about the world’s troubles for awhile.

Anyway here is what I got...

Books:
Scams & Fantasies by Darwin Ortiz
The Annotated Erdnase also by Darwin Ortiz

DVD’s
Max Maven’s Video Mind Volume (or phase) 2
Sankey’s Secret Files Volumes 1 & 2

Tricks:
Blizzard Dean Dill
Deep Astonishment by Paul Harris
Daryl’s Ultimate Ambition by Daryl Martinez of course! My girlfriend went to the local magic store and bought this for me after seeing Daryl’s Ambitious Card routine on his DVD. It floored her. I was floored on Christmas day to peel back the gift wrap to reveal this trick!

I’m still very pleased with these gifts!

I'm going to treat myself to Small But Deadly in the next few weeks I hope!!!
