Magic Drawing Board

Just wanted to let you know that the 'Axtell Drawing Board' has been in my act for over five years and I must admit that it is SOOOO STRONG that anything you perform after should be nothing less than a miracle.

When I perform the 'board', I usually ask the audience to help me draw a picture, asking them if they want big ears, what kind of a nose, and I always forget to draw in the mouth. As I say the magic words the eyes alone start to move. The audience goes wild and of course, I never catch the eyes moving when I look. After a couple of funny moments with this I realize that the cartoon is trying to say something and cannot because I have forgotten to draw in the mouth. Well, you can see what fun this is to perform and all I can say is: you better have a really strong finish because anything you perform after the Axtell board is almost always forgotten. This effect is the closest thing to real magic.

Steve Axtell has out done himself and I thank him at every show I perform. Get one, it will force you to improve your whole act, believe me. My entire act had to be improved just to keep up with the magic that is created with this wonderful prop. During the past five years of performing magic as a full time professional, I can assure anyone that takes the time to work in this prop that it will improve their act a thousand fold!

P.S. I am not an employee of Steve Axtell. I am a professional that wants to give credit where credit is due. [Okay but, are you his brother-in-law? How about his fraternity brother? Maybe you're really his accountant? I know. You're his publicist.-MM]
