I would invite you to take a look at my new magic app for the IPhone here.

I will post a number of ideas to use with it on my blog!

A new era for Osterlind Mysteries

In an effort to further advance our hugely successful line of professional magic and mentalism products, starting this new decade, Osterlind Mysteries will sell all of its materials only through our official website.

This change will enable us to bring you the finest products at reasonable prices and have direct and intimate contact with all of our customers. Eliminating mass marketing will also reduce the continuing onslaught of illegal torrents and rip-offs of our products. We trust our valuable customers to maintain the secrecy of materials they purchase from us and this will stop that heinous process.

We also will be instituting an official newsletter to continually update our valuable clients as to what new products we will be introducing. The new Versatile Blindfold is only the first of a whole new series of exclusive products you can expect to see shortly. If you are an existing Osterlind Mysteries customer, you will be automatically placed on that list. Future customers will be able to sign up for the newsletter on our website.

Nothing in our product line is discontinued! All the fine products you have grown to rely on our still available. In addition, we are constantly improving existing items such as the Ultra Board, Stainless Steel Blindfold, Thoughtscan and others. In addition to introducing completely new props and books, we will also complete the Mind Mysteries Guidebook series and those 2 volumes will be available this year.

Finally, as you may have already read, we are now offering our customers a choice of using either First Class or Priority mail on their orders. Priority mail can be tracked, and is a bit quicker, but is much more expensive. First Class might be the way to go, especially on lower priced items.

Thank you all for your continuing support and I trust these changes will make doing business with us better than ever.

We are proud to announce our newest offering, The Osterlind Versatile Blindfold! You can check out all of the details by clicking here.

If you own my 13 Steps to Mentalism series, you will have seen this blindfold used 3 times. A 4th use is included in the booklet that accompanies the blindfold.

As I mentioned in the foreword of that booklet, “It seems like the more experienced I become in mentalism, the more I like simplicity and practicality,” this prop is a perfect example of that philosophy. It is so simple, but can do so much!

For the price, you will have a ton of effects at your disposal. I’m sure you will find your own personalized uses for it.

Order the Osterlind Versatile Blindfold today. When you get it, you can just fold it up, pop it into your case, or even your pocket, and be ready to go anytime … anywhere!

Also, starting now, Osterlind Mysteries now offers you a choice of choosing either Priority or First Class postage. With the recent rise in US Postal rates, First Class can offer you a huge savings, especially on International orders.

Jim and I have been hard at work with big plans for 2o1o. I won’t tip much just yet, but rest assured you will want to keep an eye open on this blog and on our website.

May you all have a wonderful New Year and great prosperity!

Leland Pennington, who goes by the stagename Pennington The Wizard , is not a name known to most magicians. He lives in Lynchburgh, Ohio and is not a full-time performer. He is unassuming and quiet and never speaks very highly of himself - but he is a magical GIANT!

He knows the classics, works real hard at his magic and has a deeper insight into our art than most “big names” the fraternity seems to worship. He creates new magic that is really that … MAGIC! I know, for sure, as I use some of his creations in my shows and I will never tell anyone what they are! Like the great magic of the past, Leland’s material is meant to be kept secret.

Leland represents what real magic is all about. He LOVES the art and treats it with dignity and respect and shares it freely. He CARES about his audiences and does everything possible to give them the best magic he can. He is to be admired and emulated.

I am truly honored to call Leland Pennington my friend and wish him A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I have just received one of the highest honors imaginable when I got the following letter from Tony Corinda:

Dear Richard,

Tony Corinda. England, 2009.

I just want to thank all my old and new found friends in Norway, Sweden and Denmark! We had a wonderful time and all the people there were wonderful!

We hope one day to return and spend a little more time in each country. Somewhere around six months in each ought to be about perfect!!

Thanks again!

Richard
