Hi. New member - just joined.

I've been intrigued by black art, and have recently begun researching this form of magic.
At first it was something I played with in my haunted garage on Halloween (severed head through a hole in a table with the body walking around - a person with a black hood on). Click on 2007 party on my page: http://go.to/yensid

I see that Don Drake does a lot. http://www.blackartsecrets.com/
Does anyone here perform anything like this?

First off Welcome to the Café. Personally I don't perform very much with any black art, but there's a fellow by the name of Ralph Adams that use to perform a lot of black art effects that were really nice. If you look around there's a book and video about his career as well as describing several of his effects. These are kind of tough to come by, ( I have a set, but I don't want to sell it ). After he retired his son Ralph Adam's jr. use to perform. I'm not sure if he's still around or not.
Good luck.
Bob.

Hi.Well I think I can help you about the black art stuff.If you didn't know,DONDRAKE made a video that teaches this art for the members of the International Magicians Society.He is on the Magic Academy 50-Volume DVD Set Volume 43.If you know any member of the IMS who has this volume ask him to borrow it.Because only members can buy it.Hope that I helped a little.

Thanks guys! Yes, I'm familiar with Don Drake, and will probably buy his books shortly. I'm in SAM 47 and will see what our book/video library holds.
