Columnist: Mike Rogers by Mike Rogers illustrations by Dave Goodsell This article is an annotation of an item I published in the June 1986 issue of MUM. There are several adjustments adding more historical information. The excellent illustrations were drawn by MUM editor Dave Goodsell, he of West Coast Wizards Magic Camp fame. Incidentally, the […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers Out Of This (Joker) World by Mike Rogers This handling of Out Of This World was shown to me by Harry Reed and Ed Turner (Arlane) in Philadelphia back in 1959. Both had collected several jokers as a result of removing them from new decks. What follows can be used for Out […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers For Those Who Don’t I have never met anyone in card magic that could do it all. I know several who come close, but everyone, including me, hangs up at some point. I’m talking about sleights, not effects. I have friends who are excellent card magicians, yet for whatever reason, simply can […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers by Mike Rogers I’m often asked about the peculiar back design on the cards I use in my professional career. They are BULLDOG SQUEEZERS, a deck sold almost exclusively in the Cajun country of Louisiana. Much of what I’m about to relate has been gleaned from various sources, including tid-bits of information […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers Opinions by Mike Rogers Several years ago I wrote and published a small nine page manuscript called Opinions, A Lecture On the Art of Magic.

I’m talking about the patter lines we magicians use when performing card magic, or what we call in the trade show business “the pitch.” First, let’s admit […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers ONLY TWICE by Mike Rogers I only saw him twice, both times occurred in the same day, but how different each time was. It happened during a combined IBM-SAM convention in New York City. I believe the year was 1964. New York City also hosted a WorldÃs Fair during that year. I […]
Columnist: Mike Rogers EDI BULL by Mike Rogers Here’s a trick. I can call Magic, Inc. from any location in the country and I’ve never known their phone number. Curious? Read on ……. My last offering in this series of columns for GMN discussed a cell telephone effect called High Tech Wizard. The idea came […]
