Magic to the People
The first time I cast a money spell I was disappointed with the results. I thought I would win the lottery. No sooner had I cast it and left the apartment than I found some change on the sidewalk. Less than a dollar. I laughed: is that it? No, it wasn’t. Over the rest of [...]
Custom Enchanted Art: Refuge
One of the best part of being a magician is the chance to help people realize their dreams. I recently completed the piece above, called “Refuge.” The client initially wrote to me: My husband and I are looking for a home to buy. We live outside of the DC area, and as you can imagine [...]
How To Change Their Life at Christmas
What do your relatives really need this Christmas? A sense of safety. More income. Some peace in their lives. But you can’t give these things as gifts—can you? To an extent, I believe you can. Magic is the art of ritual. True magic is not flashy. It’s subtle. It claims to adjust the odds, and [...]
How Do You Make a Custom Magic Spell?
Custom orders are my favorite. When you order a magic spell I can tailor the magic specifically to your need. This can make it incredibly direct and meaningful for you, and gives me a chance to help solve a problem—which is what magicians do. But where do we start? Your Personal Mage When you order [...]
Samhain Special: Discount on Custom Spells
It’s been a busy month. I just dropped down in New Orleans. The city burns with magic. This is where the enchanted atelier will be at least till spring. Then the road calls again. But for now the chanting will resume. This week is intense. I’m unpacking art supplies from my travels and attending a lot [...]
Who Took Their Hand Off the Wall?
In earliest days people made art in caves. At first they traced their hands on the wall. This was communal, fun. Anyone can enjoy tracing their hand. Who was it that wanted more? Did one man paint a hand without putting his on the wall? Did he just copy the shape of the hand-prints? The [...]
Burning Magic Scrolls
The time has come. Tonight at midnight I’ll spread the coals in the stove. Feed them my magic scrolls one by one. The spirits will be delighted. If you want to rescue a scroll from this fate you have 16 hours to do it. It’s the last day of the 101 sale, so you’ll get [...]
How To Make Spell Cards
It feels good, putting so much power in such a little item. Cards are special. It’s no coincidence that tarot became the predominant system of Western fortunetelling (or that Pokémon took off). I only make something if it can be high quality. The original plan was to get some card stock and cut it to shape. [...]
The Escape Spell
Have you ever just wanted a way out? This is a spell I always knew I would make. I have a feeling there’s s someone out there who’s just waiting for it… maybe a woman in an unhappy relationship. Maybe someone trapped in a dead end career. They’d like to jump to a better situation, [...]
Magic Spell Scrolls and the $101 Sale
I took my magic scrolls off the market. It was when I started to travel. I can’t carry them with me [and have no assistant back at the atelier], so the logistics would have been too much. There were some disappointed folks, but I promised that whenever I got back I’d have a sale to [...]
