One of the busiest and most successful working magicians in the world is coming to Penguin for a special live event.
“Diamond Jim is a wonderful thinker who really understands the construction of powerful magic effects. I thoroughly enjoy his work because he fools me on a regular basis. He’s also got a super sharp wit that totally cracks me up. This guy’s lecture is a must-see event.”-Geoff Williams
"Jim Tyler is truly a Diamond in the magic world. Time and money spent to listen and learn from him is not an expense, it’s an investment in your future.”-Shawn Farquhar

Trapdoor Coins
Three coins penetrate a tabletop one at a time.
Birthday Bill
A hole-puncher is waved over a dollar bill causing holes to magically appear and reveal a surprise message.
Mental Monte
Someone thinks of one of three face-up cards. While the magician’s back is turned the cards are turned face down and mixed. The card is always found.
