Our goal was always to create the best content in magic. Here are some of our products thus far...
The Skyscraper Method

Our magnum opus. Perform the greatest possible card magic, in a way you've never seen before.
"It's simple. If you want to take your magic to the next level you have to learn this principal." - Jim T
138 Classic Effects

We spent hundreds of hours reading old magic books so you don't have to. These are the 138 best effects we found.
"You guys did the magic world a serious service" - Cristopher Barker
Magic Mastery

We wanted to create a place where anyone could start from nothing, and master magic. This is that place.
"Do yourself a big favor and join as soon as possible!" - Ezra Norris
Fragment

An ancient principle reimagined for the modern magician. One of the best card selection and revelation plots we know.
“Fragment is a powerful exploration into an almost deserted technique. The technique creates incredible magic and the best bit, it’s practically self-working. Highly recommended.” - Joel Dickinson
Ice Cold Book Test

A book test you can perform anywhere, anytime...without a book. No apps required.
"The Ice Cold Book Test is the only book test I'll be doing from now on." - Owen Staton
Card Magic Mastery

A four-hour masterclass with one of the world's greatest card magicians. Created by Andrew Frost.

Classic Magic Books

Our most popular product. An entire library of classic magic books complete with an index and reading guide.
“Best bargain in all of magic retailing.” - Richard
The Silk Switch

Four nearly invisible switches. Secretly change cards while tossing, flipping, and dropping them from the deck.
"It is clear by now that I really like the guys over at The Daily Magician. Yet again, they have nailed it. " - Andrew Frost
Master Any Stack

Make learning a stack as easy as playing a game on your phone.
"If I had used this method when I purchased Mnemonica, I may have never left magic." - Charles Gillan
Shaken, Not Stirred

An idea we found in an old Howard Thurston book. This fools magicians.
“This is what The Daily Magician does best. They take an old principle that, let's be honest, I don't have the time to discover. Then they...craft an AMAZING routine and release it for a super reasonable price.” - Jim Taone
Matchmaker

A two-deck coincidence effect that's so clever it fooled its creator.
"Highly recommend this to anyone looking to do a deck matching routine." - Nate Heather
Base

8 incredibly easy and impromptu effects by Ollie Mealing, along with our thoughts and handling.
"Straightforward, easy and stunningly impactful." - David Noshay
Forcing By Telepathy

The single easiest trick we know. This is what we perform when we're feeling lazy but want something good.
“I really enjoyed this effect. It was fairly easy to perform as well and since I am a beginner magician that was great. I would highly recommend. "- Stephen Zimmerman
You Find Your Card

A timeless plot reimagined. One of the most fun things we can do with a deck of cards.
"Probably paid too much being honest." - Mike
The Kaleidoscope Project

You always know the colors of the cards. Not for the faint of heart.
“A truly excellent project with some really interesting principles that I have never come across before.” - Tom Winder
The Dolphin Shuffle

The most natural looking false shuffle we know.
“This thing is virtually invisible. Very slick and the built-in distraction move is clever." - Greg Zloch
Witch Hand Project

We spent a week studying the 'Which Hand' plot and this is the result.
"I love a good "which hand" plot, and this one is great!" - Christopher

"The Daily Magician is one of the few emails I always read when they come. The effects I've bought from them are top-tier, and the free information is worth a lot. Recommended." - Arlen Card
“Whether you’re a complete beginner or a well seasoned performer, The Daily Magician has something for you. They have a wealth of information, amazing magical effects, and solid training material. Not only that, but also a wonderful community to share it with." - Danny Goldsmith
“There’s a reason that some of the top magicians in the world reach out to The Daily Magician for help. They. Know. Their. Stuff! When I get an email from them, I stop what I’m doing and read it immediately! They’re THAT good.” - Steven Bridges
"The Daily Magician Newsletter is a must-read any time it hits my inbox. Benji and Jacob really know how to get the wheels turning, asking the questions that don't always get asked. What I love about the Daily Magician newsletter is it challenges the status quo. What can we be doing better as performers? How can we continue to grow? What will keep us questioning what we're doing, why, and how it is received by the people we're performing for." - Jim
"The General attitude of these two young men has always made an impression on me.
They are both genuinely interested in the welfare of Magic and the ongoing teaching of this amazing and interesting topic.
I appreciate their effort in passing this on to others." - Alan Blair
"One of my two favorite email magic newsletters, and this is my #1 for many reasons. First, because I am disabled and until my disability is finally approved, I have a limited income and don't purchase much. I did finally have some to spend on magic, and my first purchase was the classic books. I can't remember the name of the other effect I purchased recently, but it was a lot of "bang for the buck!
Also, every time I send an email regarding something I the newsletter, they respond very quickly and are interested in whatever other magician's have done, are doing, and will do. They truly love magic and magician's!" - JB Preston
"This is a very well written newsletter. While it includes pitches for paid products, even those are well incorporated and interesting to read." - Joyce Benjamin
"I think the newsletter is excellent. Firstly, it is far less 'commercial' in tone compared with communications from other well-known magic retailers. Secondly, it provides more substantive learning than is the norm. I like your overall approach genuinely." - Ieuan Mapperson
"I love following up with the newsletters while waiting for my school to open, thank you for making me enjoy going to school early." - Bru
"Love your insane devotion to finding and providing so much great content. No misleading hype. No marketing misdirection. No disingenuous tricks up your sleeves.
Keep up the fully-appreciated, magical work!" - Neal Gomberg
"The amount of work and attention to detail that goes into this company's products is staggering. Always quality with relevant and interesting information. Keep up the good work!" - Will Mack
"When I decided a certain trick was not really for me, I was immediately offered a refund with no questions asked. So ordering is risk free, which gives clients absolute confidence when ordering." - Trevor

"Look forward to "The Daily Magician" newsletter every time it arrives to my Inbox. Always a fresh and intriguing insight that is shared, that keeps the magic mind fresh!" - Craig Schweiger
"I look forward to each and every edition of this newsletter — it’s a “must read” for magicians from beginners to experts." - Gary
"Hands down you two are two of the hardest working contributors to the magic community! You obviously care about every aspect of the art and practice of magic. Bravo to you for your generosity on behalf of your fellow magicians!" - Michael Grant
"Great insights, great links to relevant sites and podcast, all around awesome stuff. A little heavy on the promotional stuff these days, but you guys have got to make a living... Video content may be a bit scrappy--no evenly lighted room, no well apportioned set, no slick, Hollywood production values, no high octatne trailers---but the video content is always extremely well thought out and what you learn is priceless. High value for the money." - Jonathan Lebowitz
"I almost never leave reviews, something has to be exceptional to get me to do so. Just the newsletters I've received alone are full of quality material. A lot of times when magic dealers give away freebies they're usually rudimentary at best, but Benji and Jacob offer quality effects that I guarantee you will use. I don't say that lightly; I'm picky about the things I choose to invest my precious time learning. Life is short and I know we all can't find enough hours in the day to do everything we would like. If you're like me and you live in that kind of world, then The Daily Magician is definitely for you." - Earl Curry
"I fairly new to the game here, but was introduced to this company via a respected magician. I can say that I’m not disappointed by the informative and helpful newsletters and am impressed with the money back guarantee on purchases that may not be the right fit. The only question now is which product do I buy next?" - Ben
"The Daily Magician has lots of amazing resources that are free or at incredibly low prices! These are invaluable resources to any aspiring magician!" - Elijah
"I always look forward to the philosophical approach you bring to magic in your discussions. They have made me rethink how I present many of my standard effects. I now spend more time working on the story and find it really does make my audience seem to enjoy the show more. Thanks for teaching this old dog "new tricks." - Pedro
"When each email appears i instantly click and read! Those emails are the highlight of most of my days." - Henry Ferris
"Great material and you get the feeling it’s not Take, Take, Take. They are incredibly generous and regularly share free content." - Gerard Marsh
"An incredibly hard working company, always looking forward to the next email, and read it thoroughly." - Jack
"This newsletter is always on top of the latest magic trends and never send emails that are uninteresting. Highly recommend signing up." - Jason

"Jacob & Benji are two of my favorite creators. Their passion for their craft and their customers is evident in everything that they do. They and others like them are the reason magic keeps moving forward in today's communication age."
- Dick
"The Daily Magician is an incredible resource for magicians of all levels!! I have already learned so much that I'm incorporating into my effects!! As a student of the Academy of Magical Arts, I feel like this should be a staple for every magician!!"
- James Gobee
"I haven't enjoyed magic this much since I went to the Magic Castle in the 70s."
- Wes Bucey
"I'm a huge fan of "The Daily Magician" because of the variety of content they provide to the community, most of it even for free! By giving new inspirations and shedding light on new creators like Ollie Mealing (sometimes even with generous offers!) they support young/new magicians as well as professionals. I'm looking forward to the upcoming content of the newsletter and more releases. I wish those will be a bit more affordable but luckily they got this Money Back Guarantee if you really don"t like the product (which isn't likely to happen;) )
So keep up the good work!"
- Magnus
"You guys have truly mastered the magic of "making me want stuff." Which is kind of incredible, because I have only an abiding interest in, fascination with, and desire to practice magic. I've performed only a little over the years, but I'm mostly a musician. But your attention to craft and to, most importantly, big and interesting ideas, keeps me going. You've got me back to thumbing through my magic book collection, debating whether to practice magic or music. I'm too old and undisciplined to do more than learn a few new, good effects at this point, but you've done a fantastic job of keeping interest alive and being inspiring."
- Led Heflin
"Hey Benji and Jacob, I've been subscribed to your newsletter for a while now and found it to be one of the most useful resources out there. I've learnt so much from your daily emails, honestly, it's more helpful than most paid resources. You guys have helped me, and probably heaps more aspirating magicians to become more confident, improve our presentation and just become a better magician in general. Thank you guys."
- Ethan
"You guys are great, seriously! I don't know of any other magicians that put in as much time and effort into their newsletter and just overall their free content as much as you guys do."
- Josh
"I really enjoy your emails. A couple months ago I started loosing my affinity in performing. Your stories, recommendations and tricks helped me get back to where I was years ago. To fall in love with magic again. Keep up the good work!"
- Dara Daniel
"The content is always original, engaging and intriguing! I must get hundreds of emails a day, but I always look out for theirs. Fragment video production was so authentic and cool."
- Gideon Wilkins
"These two have given back more to magic than the majority of magicians do in their lifetime!"
- Mike Giusti
"The Daily Magician is an fantastic site and great way to spread magical knowledge amongst the community. The daily updates are always fascinating and their free offers show that their hearts really lie with the community of professional and hobbiest magicians around the globe."
- James C
"The best collection of magic on the internet."
- Zee J. Yan
"Some of the trailers could be re-worked to show how the effects can yield amazing reactions, but overall, the effects are terrific. Additionally, Benji & Jacob are incredibly generous -- they offer a TON of material for a very modest cost. Especially for those new to magic or who are hobbyists, the material is plentiful, practical, and hard-hitting."
"Benji & Jacob (the core of the team at The Daily Magician as I understand it) are truly unique in their approach to creating and presenting magic to us, their consumers. What causes them to stand out from all the rest is the very thoughtful, actually intellectual, approach they take to magic ... it's creation, it's marketing, it's teaching. They are deep thinkers and it shows. They also radiate a brand of simple good-hearted honesty that is rare in the sea of barracudas and sharks found at many other purveyors of magic we all frequent. They are worthy and deserve to succeed. They put their hearts on their sleeve, not up their sleeve. And that is quite rare these days, and it shows."
"Benji and Jacob at the Daily Magician are two underground magicians that keep coming back with magic gold. They may be two young magicians, but they research old magic books and journals and find hidden gems. They are equally adept at helping you identify cutting edge magic. Best of all, they combine the old and the new to bring out magic that is bold, new, and different."
"Benji and Jacob of The Daily Magician are two of the good guys in magic. Not only do they provide insightful commentary, but they also provide some good magic with a money back guarantee! They are the only ones doing that! I highly recommend them and their products!"
"These guys work hard to give you the most important thing a magician should have: knowledge. Anybody can sell gimmicks, and too many do, but not everybody dedicates their time to deep-diving for the sole purpose of sharing what they find. If you want something more important than the latest fire watch, you can be sure you'll get the good stuff from the Daily Magician. They are consistent both in terms of quality and quantity. I have had fun looking back at the bare-bones, beginner, must-learn principles that have long been forgotten, dug up by the Daily Magician. You will, too."
"The Daily Magician is a great resource. Benji and Jacob produce quality reviews, material, new material, and practical advice for magicians of all skill levels. Their news letter, offerings and membership provide ample education and insights to improve your magic quickly. I have found much of their efforts helps clarify many "knacky" type moves and processes. Great program."
