Master Payne Payne has been advising me for nearly a decade now. You can always trust that he will do his best to give your magic purpose. A logical reason for it's meaningless existence. Save it from it's inevitable demise due to a hastened thought process and mediocre compositional renderi....oh...I see that maybe some of you have met Payne :) All kidding aside, when Payne gives you advice, regarding your creation or routine, take a good listen and be honest with yourself. In the end, your prop or act will surely deliver if you heed his wisdom. His awards include the 2005 PCAM Pro Challenge Gold Medal Winner and First place in both the 2005 Close up and Stage contests at Kramien's Jamboree. Check out Payne's Lecture Notes. Be sure to visit his website and click on the YouTube video links to see his performances! www.masterpaynemagic.com     Oscar Munoz Oscar! What can I say about this guy that has not been said before? An award winning illusionist and humorist, has spell-bound audiences with his multifaceted talents and a true Gentleman in the world of egomaniac magicians. Simply put, a down right great guy who's Creativity is unsurpassed. Brian Cook was kind enough to introduce me to Oscar at an IBM Convention. Oscar and I hit it off immediately as we exchanged ideas and viewpoints about the magic business and creativity. We have been in constant communication developing new ideas and re-working old concepts. We hope to launch a new Signature line of magic that Oscar has been working on. Thanks so much Oscar for your help as you have taught me far more than you know. www.oscarmunoz.com

Brian Cook  I met Brian when we first started our new company. If you know Brian, then you know he will give you his opinion like it or not. This is a good character trait in the world of magic as there is just too much shmoozing in a field that needs honest criticism. That is just what I needed at the beginning as I was confident as a builder yet was not to hip to what was "hip" in the business. We were always short handed so Brian drove down on occasion helping sand, drink beer, solve problems, drink beer, give his advice and then...have another beer :) Brian is a very creative guy who shows it in his own Award Winning Act as he has created some very original, unique and entertaining magic. He has been a great friend and consultant over the years and I am sure he will be helping for years to come. www.briancookmagic.com

Arthur Atsma I have such a great respect for Arthur not only as a fantastic Family Magician but also as a person, Father and Friend.  I call on Arthur to assist in fleshing out basic concepts, writing routines and patter as well as get a better understanding of what actually works in the real world. His ability to communicate creative ideas is second to none due to his experience working as a full time entertainer working almost exclusively in family friendly shows. I cannot express enough my appreciation for Arthur over the years....plus he has one heck of a great routine with a Chicken :) www.atsmagic.com

Paul Gross Owner of Hocus-Pocus.com I like to consider Paul Gross as the Godfather of Magic. This man is more dedicated to the world of Magic and Sales than anyone I have ever met! Although Paul is not as active on my Creative Team, he has been a great Business Consultant and friend since the day we hit the Internet. I will always be thankful to Paul as he was the single person that gave us an HONEST FAIR deal in the Magic Business. We were just about ready to go out of business before we even started after coming out of a previous terrible business arrangement.  We were in high stress mode as we had invested everything we had into a small new Magic Company and nobody knew about us! Out of the blue, Paul Gross gave us a call asking if we would be interested in wholesaling any of our items. The business deal we arranged allowed us to get the exposure we needed, a financial solid footing and the rest is history. Thanks Paul! We truly appreciate what you have done for us. http://www.hocus-pocus.com/   Steve Brooks Creator/Owner theMagicCafe.com Last be certainly not least is Steve Brooks .I discovered Steve and The Magic Cafe very early in our days of business. I had immediately seen the marketing potential with Steve's fantastic website. A friendship was formed and Steve agreed to have us advertise on his forum. Needless to say, the response and effectiveness of this advertising format was far more successful than ANYTHING I had ever seen! Steve and I exchanged professional services over the years and I continue to promote his website, to other new Creators and Companies, as the most cost effective advertising form in magic bar NONE! We truly appreciate all the help that Steve has given us over the years. themagiccafe.com
