This will be our nineteenth year of teaching the Scoundrels Class at the Magic Castle!

We will meet in the Magic Castle’s Magic University classroom, Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd from 11:00 am until 1:00 am and then from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm each day.

Registration is $250.00 for the two days. The Castle Brunch for our students will be just $18.00 each day. There will be a special room rate for the Magic Hotel for our students. No more than 20 people will be accepted into class, on a first come, first served basis. You do not have to be a magician or a member of the Magic Castle to participate.

Pop Haydn’s “Chicago Surprise” now available as download!


This is ALL NEW–the first video description of this classic routine!

This video is more than an hour of detailed instruction from Pop Haydn on the handling and performance of this routine. It includes two live performances at the Magic Castle. The Chicago Surprise is one of the strongest card tricks you can perform.

“If I only get one shot at an important client, director or CEO, this is the trick I would do for them.”–Pop Haydn

This download includes the complete .pdf file of The Chicago Surprise, as well as this high quality .mp4 teaching video (589 megs).

This routine is one of the most powerful opening effects in close-up magic.

“The Chicago Surprise meets all my criteria for what a superior magic product should be: 1) an audience-tested, professional-caliber routine, 2) well written, 3) both handling and theoretical information (in other words, the how and the why) are included. Many professionals use Whit’s routine. I’m sure you’re going to want to as well.”–Michael Close, MAGIC Magazine

“This entire manuscript is a marvelous piece of work, and if it does not cause you much thought about magic, then something is terribly wrong.”–Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii Magazine

“Tricks and Traps” by Clifton Wooldridge

Aug 17

1-1-Tricks & Traps

In my private collection of books and pamphlets from around 1900 I have this interesting little pamphlet which has survived here into the 21st Century.

It is Clifton R. Woolridge’s Tricks and Traps. 

It contains “over 100 varieties of confidence games, fakir’s snares and swindles worked on the unwary” from the notebooks of “America’s Sherlock Holmes.” 

The stories are fascinating, and I learned a lot of valuable information from this book which has been very helpful along the way. 

It is out of copyright, so naturally I decided to scan it and sell it to my friends and fellow travelers…

This little stapled pamphlet went for only two bits when I bought it. But water was free then…

It’s FIFTY CENTS now. You can find it HERE

I hope you enjoy it!

~ Pop
