A few words from Jon

Hi, my name is Jon Jensen. I have been a professional magician on and off for the last 25 years. I currently do about 250 kid's shows a year as well as performing bar magic four nights a week. At the bar I try to do one new trick every week for the regulars, and as you may have guessed, some of the tricks are winners, while others not so much.

I am a big fan of magic review shows, most notably the two (now interchangeable) guys in England, as well as Jamie Grant's now defunct Magic Fridays. I also enjoy David Regal`s reviews on Reel Magic. I don`t always agree with the reviews, but for the most part they are educational and entertaining.

Talking with some of my magic buddies over the last couple of months I have mentioned that there should be a magic review forum for professional magicians on products that have been tested in front of real spectators, not a couple of times, but at least a hundred times. I feel it is hard to accurately review a product after only opening up the package a half hour earlier.

In the next couple of months I, with the help of Howard at The Magic Warehouse, will be putting out a weekly review on magic products I have tested in the real world. We encourage feedback and ideas which can be sent to Jon Jensen
