Enter the strange and warped mind of Jeff Stone and attempt to view the world through his eyes... Good Luck, and Be Careful!
Synchronicity, Coincidence, Harmony and subconscious influence; fact or fiction? Real or myth? I say real. But I’m getting ahead of myself. I believe it all began roughly in 1993. I was just beginning to understand the value of studying sleight of hand and the works of other magicians, so I got my hands [...]
I’ve heard it said that pain is a good thing because it lets you know you’re alive. I’ve also heard it said that there’s no such thing as negative publicity. Well I’m starting to see the impact of the latter. With the release of Jay Sankey’s Underground Jam people are starting to post feedback on [...]
In the world of technology we live in today, it is pretty easy to get your hands on a video recorder. You may be asking yourself why is a video recorded important to you. Well why do football coaches watch recordings of their games? They watch the winning games and the loosing games. They want [...]
As magicians, we often want to be perfectionists. We may spend hours perfecting the skills or moves needed to pull off the effect. We even spend time creating scripts, and we know what we’ll say when. That works great when nobody’s watching you. Don’t get me wrong; there’s nothing wrong with scripts, but remember that [...]
Let me start by saying, I Love David Blaine. Is it because I think he’s the most amazing magician in the world? No. Not even close. Is it because I think he’s got a great performance style? No. Not even close. What about his character or patter? No, and No. So you may be thinking [...]

There I was relaxing in the royal court when I felt the deck shake. Suddenly the box opens up and I (along with the other 51) am tossed out into some magicians sweaty hands. I had mixed emotions; part of me was irritated because I was yanked from a wonderful dream of the Queen of [...]
Man I’m having serious women problems. I’ve tried, I don’t know how many times, to get the Queen of Spades to look my way, but she’s always so busy with her little Queens Soiree. Darn that Vernon. Anyway, I digress. My point is that it has been very difficult here in Bicycle Village to find [...]
That’s it. That was the straw that broke the angel’s blue back! I’m trying to be cool – After all, I AM the King of Spades, but even I have my limits. Last night I took a risk. I decided to sneak out and head of to evil Hoyletown – you know… sin city. Anyway, [...]
Talk about a bitter-sweet moment. Today I was finally chosen to participate in a card trick. It’s a good thing too, because it was getting pretty crowded in here with these 51 other posers. Anywho… the point is I was excited to be part of a trick, and even more exciting was the fact that [...]
