Vampire Hunters! Magnetized Holy Water!
In case the alarmists about the Zombie Apocalypse are dead wrong, and instead of Zombies, we have to fight for the survival of the human species against Vampires, you may need “Pop Haydn’s Magnetized Holy Water for Vampire Hunters”
This is water from a pure source that has been spiritually blessed by an ordained minister of an actual faith for a nominal charge and magnetized in Pop Haydn’s powerful electrical devices. It is much more powerful than ordinary Holy Water.
Less than one teaspoon needed per vampire.
Guaranteed effective or money back.

Pop Haydn and Chef Anton will be teaching their eight-hour course on street scams at the Magic Castle again this November. This course has been taught every year at the Magic Castle since 1996.
The course covers the history, psychology, moves, ruses and application to magic of the three major street scams–Fast and Loose, Three-Card Monte, and the Shell Game–hands on instruction from two experts.
This class is open to anyone over 21, whether they are members of the Magic Castle or not.
We have had historians, magicians, police officers, lawyers and many others take the course over these many years.
It is a great class for steampunk writers and characters, as these games are easy ways to make local money when in a different culture or time period.
No prior knowledge or skill is required. All necessary props will be available for the students during class, and can be purchased from School for Scoundrels.
We have complete notes available in print and DVD.
The course is taught on four consecutive Sunday nights, and a second class is offered on Monday nights, beginning on Sunday, Nov 3rd, and Monday, Nov 4th. The course is taught at the Magic Castle in Hollywood in the Classroom which is next to our library.
It is $160 per person for the class, to be paid at the first class.
We accept up to fifteen people in each class.
