Whispering imps on magic posters

Ever since this Harry Kellar image from 1894, magic posters and images of whispering imps have gone hand in hand. Here is a link to an amazing collection of 148 such posters featuring devils, skeletons, spirits and ghouls.

Halloween magic with Ed Alonzo

I've always wanted to perform a Halloween Eve magic act out in my yard. If I ever get a chance to do that, I want it to be just like my friend Ed Alonzo's annual "Howl-o-ween" show at the Great America amusement park in California. Check out this great burned alive trick that he calls the "Chamber of Boom". (If you want to skip the set-up, fast-forward to 1:30. That's where the actual trick begins.)
