Mr.
Jamy Ian Swiss review MonkeyShines Volumes 1 & 2 in
Genii Magazine, March 2010.
Here's
a portion of the review ...
"...
Doc Dixon is still, quite clearly, a full-time working pro
with an eye for practical, entertaining, and commercial
magic.
It's refreshing to read some pages that contain
material that can, will and should be used by working pros
... I've
selected a few entries from each volume to provide a
representative sampling of material that particularly
appealed to me, but I daresay everything here is of
potential value to someone. My advice in a pumpkin
shell:
When a real-life working pro -- one who thinks about
this magic, cares about originality, has some technical
chops, and has done a hell of a lot of shows -- tips his
mitt, it's time to forego the next dozen or so bloated
3-disk DVD sets and sit down with something you can
actually entertain a paying audience with and maybe even
make a living. Call me crazy."

Because
MonkeyShines Volume One is flying off the shelves, I'm busy
working on MonkeyShines Volume TWO.
One of the entries in the book is a little item I call the
Failure Deck. It's not a trick per se, but a concept that
virtually guarantees the standard "magician in trouble"
card trick plot will get the strongest reaction possible.
It's definitely a "worker" kind of idea that I've used for
about 20 years. I've put it in my latest email
e-newsletter, which will be sent out midnight Friday,
January 23.

Book
orders are rushing into DixonMagic Central!!
OK, book
orders are rushing into my den, but the whole "DixonMagic
Central" thing sounds cool. You can order your book
here! See a
"video excerpt" here.
I wanted to share a brief excerpt from the book about
legendary sleight of hand artist
Richard Turner.
Enjoy!
PS: The first orders should be shipped (after an unexpected
delay or two, on Wednesday, January 14)

BIG
NEWS! First,
despite my Amish level tech skills, I've put a video from
one of the routines in the book.

the envy of 90 year olds and bearded cow milkers
everywhere.
The video is here. The
contents of the book can be found here.
Second,
you can now order the book online. The
ordering page is here.

This
website will be fully operational (and with just few more
bells and whistles) in a few weeks.
Until then, please tolerate what I charitably call "The
Amish Version". I could have waited til the webdesigner was
ready, but sometimes I like to jump in headfirst and at
least get a start on things.
NEWSFLASH
In a few weeks my new book,
"Monkeyshines Volume One" will be
released. It's a collection of both close-up, mental magic
& platform conjuring effects.

Best,
