Spooky magic trick. Try this at home.

Shrunken head magic

If you're looking to add a magical touch to your Halloween festivities, check this out. It's a virtually self-working magic trick that uses vintage postcards featuring images of shrunken heads. What could be more Halloween-appropriate than that?

Closet of death

Ah yes, the delicious intersection of my two favorite things... magic and creepy stuff.
This terrific closet is by designer Rafael Morgan.

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.)

Zorran's Horror Finger

If you really want to freak out the trick-or-treaters this year, go out and buy yourself this simple magic trick. The effect looks like you're using a box cutter to cut halfway through your own finger. They'll definitely scream as blood seeps out of the wound. Very realistic looking and easy to do. Check out this video demonstration.
