I’ve done crayon magic for my old children show I used to so. Over the years, I’ve done “cig” magic with restaurant crayons for my friends, family, waitresses and others. Suddenly, I could show my daughter some cool effects when she was old enough to appreciate them. ![]() One day, it occurred to me that I could actually apply these moves to the crayons themselves not as a means to practice for cig magic, but as a means to practice crayon magic. ![]() Then when hanging with my friends, I would apply the moves to their cigs. So I started practicing cig moves at home with Crayons. And it just so happens that they’re about the exact same size as cigarettes. What I did have in the home that I didn’t before having children was crayons. No longer do I wish to have cigarettes in the home. Then int 1995, along comes my beautiful baby girl Courtney. I had a lot of fun messing with my friends and doing some pretty cool cig magic. I don’t smoke so a lot of the effects were ones I couldn’t do because they required lighting and smoking cigarettes, but there were still tons of moves and vanishes and effects that could be done with unlit cigarettes. I had a lot of friends who smoked, so I bought what turned out to be one of my favorite magic books, The Encyclopedia of Cigarette Tricks By Keith Clark. ![]() Back in the day before I had children (nearly 20 years ago), I used to keep a pack of cigarettes in the house to practice cigarette magic.
