Wolf Magic’s Latest — Check It OutInside MagicMagic News Updated Daily for the Professional Magician

Chance and Shelley

Chance and Shelley Wolf have been supporters of Inside Magic so long they still have the old logo up on their site. It is the kind of support that humbles us. They believed in the site back when we were still a hybrid of Magic and a listing service for free-lance urologists and Filipino Psychic Surgeons.

But we made the move to the more legit forms of Internet marketing and one of the big supporters was Wolf Magic. They’re back with something more exciting thanfree-lance urological servicesand certainly more appropriate for kids’ shows than Filipino Psychic Surgery.

We made a ton of money off the Urology listings and Psychic Surgery links but our true love has always been magic. A magic website doesn?t pay as well as advertising for Dr. Marcos ?Surgery Wit Out Break Skin? or Dr. Rowina?s Urology and Stamina Clinic On-Line ?Now With Web Cams for Complete Diagnosis and Treatment.?

But I had principles, dang it. The free-lance urologists and Filipino Psychic Surgeons loved our domain name and some offered to buy it. But, as I said, at that time I had principles. Apparently one of those principles was to throw away a money making portal for illicit therapies and fake surgery with hits in the near 10,000 neighborhood per day for a Magic website that received approximately six hits every seven days ? and four of those were for people looking to get free-lance urology ?consultations? or Filipino Psychic Surgery to remove a mysterious mass.…

The other two hits were me trying to make sure the site was still up.

We were faced with a server large enough to handle air traffic control in most countries and six or seven hits per week (depending on how often I checked it).

Paw Lawton agreed to help out with articles, Missy Rochelle and Kathleen Lakeland were interns from the University of Michigan and agreed to do copy editing and then moved into article writing.

Still it was going no where. Themonthly charge for the GT-228 pipe into our servers was still there every month.We needed a miracle. Enter Chance and Shelley Wolf, Whit Haydn and Ed Majian.

These folks were kind enough to answer our emails asking for interviews. Whit did a tremendous job of working with us over a period of weeks and his interview is the number one hit on the website still. Ed Majian?s interview and his guest column ?WIM? gave us legitimacy we couldn?t otherwise get. And then there were the angels, Chance and Shelley Wolf. Read their interview here.

Like I said, we sent out requests for interviews to almost every major magician and dealer in the world and there were very few takers. After all, why take the time to do an interview with a webpage that had no cache in the Magic world and on most search engines still brought up Filipino Psychic Surgeons and ?Stamina Cures with Free-Lance Urologists.?

I think Lycos still has us in their ?Alternative Surgery Directory.?

Chance and Shelley were just starting out with their Wolf Magic and had announced they were moving from George Robinson and Viking Manufacturing to join Hocus-Pocus.com. They had innovative products but not a lot of them ? yet.

This trip down memory lane was spurred by news that Wolf Magic is releasing an incredible new effect that keeps with their well-established theme of innovative, crazy and new. Check out Arthur Atsma’s Chicken Sword by clicking here.

I could write about the effect but that wouldn?t do it justice. You need to go to Wolf Magic to see the images and read their description of a product in which they rightfully have great pride.

I can tell you that Chance and Shelley are quality people with a real love for the stuff we do and look constantly to push the envelope. Thanks to Wolf Magic, Inside Magic moved from a site often blocked by Net Nanny to one that is now well over 60,000 hits.

Check out their site, their newest effect and if you buy something from them, tell them the gang at Inside Magic says “hey.”
