Thank you for visiting Phatus.comHere at phatus.com we are in search of the most recent and original magic/bar trick content and ideas.Here you will find up to date video blog postings of random magic related material such as card tricks, original street magic(both intra-phatus and extra-phatus) and our growing library of DIY magic gimmick projects to help save you some money if necessary. DO NOT get me wrong, although we make some free DIY videos for magic gaffs, this does not mean that we discourage anyone from buying a professional product from magic shop. It is however, always nice to have backups of things like magnetic quarters.Please feel free to send us your magic/bar trick videos but remember, THIS IS NOT AN EXPLOIT SITE!!! If you would like to submit a video, then we are looking for totally original content and/or new innovations to classic illusions. Please do not send in videos revealing secrets to currently marketed tricks, they will not be posted.

Our goal is to eventually establish an online community of innovative magicians that will make us the phatus corner of illusions on internet. We also hope to share ideas through the private forums in the hopes of improving our magic and those who collaborate. An “opensource” approach to things for lack of a better term.

Please enjoy your stay and check back often as we update as much as possible.

Thank you ,
