Diamond Jim Tyler is performer, author, lecturer and inventor whose work is charaterised by cleanliness, entertainment value and full on commerciality. I see the word banded about here and there and most of the time its some kid who has no idea what it is to work for real people. Diamond Jim is a worker, plain and simple. He's been in restaurants, corporate events, on television and many places besides for many many years. Here is Jim at the Magic Castle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgZv35UCvaM&feature=channel

The Diamond Jim book Pocket full of Miracles was for many months our best selling item and it contained some of the most varied and interesting magic I had seen in a very long time. I still use one items from there and a variant on another. Bamboozlers and Pocket Full Of Miracles the 2 video set followed and Jims newest item DIAMONTE is tearing up trees now. You can see it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRoi-25QxYs

We often get people asking about the lectures we have coming up and they are saying. "Its not going to be all cards is it?" Answer in this case is NO - Jim is an expert on barbets and will share with us some certain ways to win a beer or 3. Check the book out here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ducMoexOC8&feature=related The lecture is some close-up, some parlour and some stand-up and features tricks with cards, coins, sugar packets, drink cans and much more besides. This is Jim's first trip to Australia, he is just back from a tour of Europe, today is heading to the famous Blackpool convention where he is a feature performer and then is a few days beyond that he gets on a plane to come to us. He is BUSY BUSY BUSY - remember you can only see him at our place. Night parking is free right at the end of Spring St and if you care to come early we always get some pizza at GPK and make a night of it.
