To all British dealers,
Are you ready and do you have the necessary documents to send goods to customers who live in EU countries after the 29th of March? (Brexit . )

To all magicians living in an EU country,
Maybe it is wise to order NOW what you need. The chance that it will become chaotic one week before the Brexit and a while after is still very real. ( + import taxes ! )
Eventually one will come to a trade agreement (the current situation is disadvantageous for BOTH parties), but knowing the "administrations", it can be chaos with long waiting times around that period.

So Brexit is happening [?]

I would have thought if it was - there would have been some mention of it in the news somewhere.

I have a Stock Pile of 250 TT just in case !

The probability is 50/50 that the British parliament will postpone the case (out of fear of total chaos in the country), but then the EU still has to agree with the postponement.
So: play for sure and order a few more TT. 250 in reserve is a bit on the low side

I have a weird question

As this is a weird thread - where better to ask it

Whenever I look on Pengiun I see this below every item:

FREE SHIPPING TO ROMANIA

Have I at some point told the website I'm in Romania [?]

Does everyone see that [?] and why [?] Do they want everyone to see this offer as they have a lot of vampire customers [?]

Just seems so random and strange

I have never bought anything that needs to be sent, just a few of their Live Lectures. but it's good to know that if I ever move to Romania, I can get free shipping

Every device in internet has address called IP address , it is something like 192.168.1.1 . Every country in the world has ranges of IP addresses reserved to its users, whenever you connect to internet you get IP within your country range, most times these ranges are not sequential . Usually websites use database of countries and IPs to know your location, if these databases are not updated then the website will not identify some countries correctly. This is how Google display your local version of Google (for German Google.de, for British google.co.uk,for Spanish www.google.es. . ) by matching your IP with the country in their database. IF you use VPN service you can get IP from another different country.
See here for example:
https://www.ip2location.com/demo

It will be very easy to ship to and from the EU after brexit regardless of whether there is a deal or no deal. Goods are shipped to and from the EU every single day from every single country, most of whom have no deal with the EU. For a UK dealer sending to the EU may be no different to sending to any non-eu country currently. Worse case scenario a few seconds filling out a customs form may be required as is already required for the rest of the world.

Duster - sounds like your computer has been hijacked by some guy in Romania. May be time to do a virus/Trojan sweep.

I have webroot running always

It must be that Pengiun is reading my IP wrong

As a note - I've never used VPN or tried to change/hide my address

Well. maybe I should learn Romanian

Does this mean they delivery for free to the UK too [?]

Anyone use Pengiun in the UK - do you get hit for customs/duty [?]

I have never had a customs charge when ordering from Penguin.

It's fairly random, I've had a hit when I've ordered from penguin, that was years ago though. Promystic, I've been caught three times. Nothing on a ceseral bell though.

I agree with Mark Chandaue it makes no difference deal or no deal unless your Noel Edmonds,
I personally want Brexit with no deal and the biggest democratic vote in UK history to be honoured otherwise what’s the point of ever voting in any election again.
The UK are massive players for a tiny island on the world stage and they need us far more than we need them and just want their 39 billion pounds each year.
I guarantee you if we leave loads of other EU countries will want to leave too and this should have been solely left to hard line Brexiteers to sort after article 50 was sanctioned not a load of numptys going round in circles because they lost the public vote and are remoaners.
Disrespected the result and there will major anochy all over the UK. Olly

Well if there is another vote

And leave wins again

That would be interesting.

What if leave doesn’t win another vote but remain does? Do we get the right to throw the toys out the pram and demand another vote until we get the result we want ie leave?
Can you imagine if this would ever have been allowed if the remainers had won the first vote? I don’t think so, democracy is finished in the UK imo. Olly

Democracy is and always has been an illusion. Democracy allows people who don’t know what’s best for them to vote for people that neither know nor care what’s best for everyone else. Current British politics is a case of the bland leading the blind.

Brexit won't happen now.

I wrote a lengthy post explaining why.

The fact that parliament voted against no deal is partly academic, the current situation is that brexit happens on the 29th regardless of whether a deal is in place or not. The EU could grant us an extension but if they choose not to then we leave on 29th March under WTO rules whether we like it or not. I suspect the EU will allow us an extension because a WTO exit benefits the UK more than it does the EU.

Personally regardless of my own views on brexit I hope they don’t allow an extension as this will at least be one in the eye for the UK politicians who tried to hijack the process to push their own agenda and the EU officials who tried to hold us to ransom. We also save 39 billion in the process.

I usually get my stuff from Alakazam. I'll be ordering elsewhere if I have to pay customs duties in the event of no deal. Can anyone recommend a good Magic shop in the EU? One that carries all the newest releases?

Magnets/string/glue/black art. Don't care as long as it looks this good in daylight and can be handed out as in the trailer. I doubt it looks this clean in person, we will see. Who is going to be the guinea pig?

This looks almost idential to a Paul Harris (I think?) method for linking Cards. I think it is called cardboard connection (different from immaculate connection which uses three cards). What is different here? The basic method for showing the cards linked seems identical to me.

I found a video of Paul Harris himself presenting this effect:

As far as I see, it seems to be the same method and the same effect? Perhaps the handling is slightly different, but I am wondering if this is a case of accidentally coming up with a new effect without knowing that it has already been done and published before?

The Paul Harris effect is in art of astonishment book 2. Along with over 100 hundred other entries according to conjuring archieve for about 40 dollars for the book on penguin. The linkcard by Mickael is about thirty dollars. Unless the method has truly been altered in a significant way to make the handling and the effect different from the Paul Harris trick, I would go with art of astonishment 2. Its hard to say from the trailer if this is the case however, so we need to hear from Mickael.

Having watched the trailer again, there are some handling differenes, I think the method is essentially the same (I think Mickaels version is more gimmicked) but Mickael's version allows for a bit cleaner handling of the cards. In this case I guess it is a matter of do you want to have a bit cleaner handling but switch that for a more time consuming setup or do you want a setup that is quick to do but the handling is not as clean.

About the examinability, if this is similar to the Paul Harris effect, as you hand the cards out, they are completely examinable. I guess you could even have the cards signed.

Hi there. I´m from Argentina and here we have very few magic shops which are very expensive and don´t have a lot of products. And in addition, because of our import laws it´s very difficult to buy magic from other countries. The issue is as follows: I´m travelling to Europe and I want to visit magic shops there and buy products cheaper than my country and which aren´t available here. I´m travelling for a month between january and february to the next places: Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Roma, Venice, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Madrid. I´d be very thankful if you can recommend me magic stores in those cities and give me recommendations on the products, prices, services, varities, etc. of the shops.
Thank you very much
Regards from Argentina
Tomas

In Paris there are 4 or 5 magic shops and a magic museum (Musee de la Magie). For more information about these, I recommend to give it a search in google.

Hope I helped you already with the location in Brussels.

Here in Venice you can actually find one shop called "Mistero e Magia" which is a magic shop right behind St.Mark square.

I personally feel that the products are a little more aimed to kids and newcomers than to serious amateurs or professionals but you will for sure find some good products. The owners are very friendly and magicians themselves; I actually help them out from time to time in the periods where there are most tourists so I'm risking to be a little partial
I link you the facebook page (which I think is the best way to contact them): https://www.facebook.com/Mistero-e-Magia-731404073624721/
and the site: http://www.misteroemagia.eu/
By the way I'm sure you will fall in love with the city.

Regarding Rome, I don't actually know the city, but I found this one http://pianetamagia.it/
and this one http://www.trapalcoerealta.net/
In italian you can consult the "dove siamo" section to find the adresses

Regards from Italy,
Francesco

I went to a shop in Barcelona several years ago, unfortunately I don't recall the name.

If you get magic magazine they list some european shops toward the back of the magazine.

Was just in Europe and visited the very special Double Fond in Paris. Call ahead to see what is happening there: http://www.doublefond.com/presentation/english-speaking/

Shops there are 2: Magic Dream and Modern Magic

I am living in the EU and in the recent decade I made almost all my magic-related purchases online from UK shops. Unfortunately at the start of the New Year, the prices will skyrocket, as we will have to pay VAT and import taxes to ship items into EU member states. I am almost 100 % sure that no-deal BREXIT will happen (well it may be postponed a little bit, but it is inevitable). So I feel sorry for these UK shops as they will lose a lot of customers. Anyway, there is also a really good opportunity for other non-UK magic shops to shine, but I am almost not aware of them. Most are local online shops with a very limited and specialized product range.

I would like to ask you for some recommendations: is there any big online magic shop from an EU country that worth checking?

What language? The largest online magic shop in Germany that I know of is http://www.tesmarzauberartikel.de/

Great onlineshop in Denmark.

These guys are really good in The Netherlands:

My apologies by the way, for the utter madness that has been demonstrated by some of my fellow Countrymen; not to mention our Government of pathetic liars and charlatans.

Over 14 years have passed - and still missing Abra Magazine arriving every Saturday morning.

I would like to extend the exact same apology from here in the USA. Hopefully in 3 more days we can pretend the last 4 years was just a bad dream.

Ha ha yes indeed.I think what mercman meant that brexit was an act of self harm by the English on their own trading.It does affect small and medium business in a big way with extra vat and paperwork. It amazes me that the Scottish or Northern Irish people did'nt seem to matter much in the 'United' kingdom. a crack at the mick! perhaps. Then again if there is a united Ireland and an Independent Scotland because of brexit that could be a good thing.

Neither would survive, and Scotland only recently voted to remain part of the United Kingdom anyhow.

Of course they would survive and flourish! Scotland voted to stay in the 'United' kingdom when it was in the E.U. Now that its fishermen have been thrown to the wolves it deserves another vote so it can re-join the E.U if it wants to.
The south of Ireland has many large American companies such as Facebook,Google,Apple. If a couple of them moved North in a United Ireland that would be a lot of corporate tax the Irish government would recieve. Then the province of Ulster would not need the hand out from the English it currently receives.

So, do you believe that Scotland would get more handouts via the EU than the U.K. Government? No, of course not, that’s why the vote will always fail. Scotland would be on its knees within weeks if it gained independence. And believe me, the majority of Ireland do not want to see it united with the North.

I believe if Scotland was back in the E.U. it could trade properly and would'nt need any handouts. We would need a vote to see if the majority
of Irish people [north and south] want their country united again. Maybe if the people of the north find themselves worse off in the coming years they will opt to be part of a one island economy.My dad [who was from the north]used to say ''it's not the crown. but the half crown''!
that is really important to ordinary people. The 'crown' of course being the House of Windsor which are a makey up name for the German house of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Spoken with true English man's arrogance about other UK's nations. As for Scotland's vote to stay in the UK, it was under the promise that they'd remain in the EU!

I lived and worked in London for 20 years and left when the UK voted "leave".

If Scotland voted to leave the UK it is not certain how it would be allowed to join the EU. The problem is that the EU have changed their rules and NO country can join unless it also joins the Euro, but to join the Euro a country has to comply with stringent rules in relation to its fiscal viability. At present Scotland could not meet these requirements, it could be years before it could achieve that goal and what would it do in the meantime? It couldn't retain the Pound as and independent nation so it would have to create its own currency which would leave it in deep do-da!

A real difficulty would be that Scotland's main source of revenue comes from Service Industries, it does not manufacture enough to trade effectively in goods and it would always be in deficit. Scotland survives at present due to heavy subsidies received from the rest of the UK, if it joined the EU they would be responsible for subsidising it and the chances are that they would not want to. The EU has enough problems dealing with other insolvent states at present without allowing more trouble that could potentially drag the Euro down in the way Greece and Italy etc have done in recent years.

Then of course there is Spain who would quite possibly block a Scottish application to join as it wants to prevent its own Basque Region from attempting the same thing.

Anyway, why would a Nation that says it wants interdependence want to join the EU which involves giving up its Sovereignty to foreign powers?

You should’ve moved to Scotland, seeing as everyone there is pro EU, apparently.

Most serious and neutral economists do not paint a rosy picture for an independent Scotland. But some, a few really, do believe it’s doable in a post-Brexit area, though they predict tough times ahead. For instance, the respected Oxford's economist Simon Wren-Lewis thinks that it’ll be OK.

On the other hand, for Scotland, it’s much more than just an economic ambition. Like Brexit has been much more than just an economic goal for the UK. Many economists have predicted tough post-Brexit times for the UK outsides the EU, but it did not stop the country from coming out as the Leave movement was not about the economics reality: UK was doing very well in the EU.

What the real goals are/were depend on which side of the fence you sit. Personally, I think that the Brits are deluded in thinking they can be a strong independent country as it’s just obvious how dependant they are from a strong US deal for example. I’m old enough to remember how France was considered to be Germany’s French poodle in EU, and I believe that similarly the UK are US’s lapdog.

And to answer the OP: I don't recommend any French magic shop as they are generally expensive.

Totally agree with Claudio about french shops, living in Belgium I moved to Tesmar in Berlin, I was in touch with them last week and they look remarkably professionnal!

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. (A. Einstein)

I apprieciate your advice, but being pro EU does not mean being in the EU.

And sincere apology for tarring all Englishmen with the same brush. When I left London, predominantly pro EU, I also left behind lots of British, many English, friends. All very decent people.

Reviews for "Caffeine and Conjuring: The Magic Cafe Scene in Europe"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with my experience at Magic Cafe EU. The service was slow and the staff seemed uninterested in helping customers. The food was average at best and definitely not worth the price. I also found the atmosphere to be dull and lacking in any sort of magic or excitement. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a magical dining experience.

2. Sarah - 1 star - Magic Cafe EU was a complete letdown. The "magic" aspect of the cafe was practically non-existent. The waiters were unfriendly and seemed annoyed when we asked for any kind of assistance. The menu options were limited and the food itself was tasteless and overpriced. I had high hopes for this place, but it fell far short of my expectations. Save your money and go elsewhere.

3. Alex - 2 stars - I was really hoping for a unique and magical experience at Magic Cafe EU, but unfortunately, it was anything but magical. The staff seemed disorganized and overwhelmed, leading to long wait times and frustration. The food was mediocre and lacked any special flair or creativity. The interior decor was also lacking in magic-themed elements. Overall, I would not recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a truly magical and memorable dining experience.

4. Emily - 1 star - Magic Cafe EU was highly disappointing. The service was incredibly slow, and my order was incorrect when it finally arrived. The atmosphere was lackluster and none of the staff seemed enthusiastic or interested in making the experience enjoyable. The food itself was average and not worth the high prices. I do not plan on visiting this cafe again in the future.
