I know I can trust you and your magazine to point me in the right direction. Your boldness and sense of humor have caused my eyebrows to rise more than a few times. Love it!!
What I appreciate most about CLUB 793.8 is that it dives deep into topics other magazines ignore. It’s not just the surface-level stuff but real, behind-the-scenes discussions that elevate the art of magic.
I just had to share my excitement about CLUB 793.8 with you! Each issue has been like a little treasure chest, packed with insights from top magicians and reviews of the latest books and tricks. And the best part? The author has this hilarious style of writing that makes every page a blast to read! I’ve picked up so many great tips that have really leveled up my performances.

I am up to my ears in various magic magazines. If more hit the scene, I become immediately skeptical – why would we need another one? When I came across Charles Tant’s new Club 793.8 Magazine, it was easy to check out. He gives the first issue away for free, so why not?
I was amazed by what I discovered. Mr. Tant put together an incredible resource which he pens himself, from cover to cover. I had no idea who he was or why anything he would have to say should matter. But, I liked the first issue so much, I signed up.
What did I like? Charles is so thoroughly honest and does not pull his punches. You can be certain he means what he says. I love that. Then, the content is truly remarkable. In the very first issue he conveys information that could/should be a guide to anyone trying to make it as a pro. He reviews great acts we don’t necessarily know about. He reviews products in the most honest way I have yet to discover in a magazine. You might not agree with his opinion, but you can be sure that he means what he says.
There is so much more. His advice is not simply based on his vast experience as a magician and creator/consultant for the top names in the game. He actually runs surveys and does research that would be of value to all of us, if we have a mind toward a fruitful, life-long career in magic. But, who is this guy? Why won’t he toot his own horn? Why care about his opinion? Who the heck is he?!?
I asked him. When I heard what he had to say, I suggested that he should let the magic world know. Why? He is more than the real deal – he is one of the most knowledgeable magicians I have come across – and that is saying a lot. I didn’t just fall off the magic truck yesterday, so you can believe me when I tell you, after 60 years living with my own magic addiction, that it is not only a good idea, but it is truly important to listen to what Mr. Tant has to say. Mr. Tant’s experience in magic is life-long, and his clients are a veritable who’s who in the world of magic.
After reading the trick reviews in his very first issue, and being astounded by his gut-level evaluation of effects on the market, both old and new, I realized that he would give his honest critique, whether it is in the form of high praise, or if he thinks a product should be ripped to shreds. How refreshing! So, when I asked him to review my latest product (All Out Magic)for his Magazine, I was actually, for the first time in this business, scared! I knew that if he hated it, he would have no trouble yelling it from the rooftops. How could that be good for me, if I created a stinker?
I put my big-boy pants on and sent him a copy of my product for review. Did he give it an honest review? Heck yes! Was it good, or bad – will I need magic therapy to recover or will I have an extra smile on my face? I truly felt rather intimidated. Well, the review came out in issue number 2. Was it any good? Was it terrible? You will find out as soon as you read the second issue.
But, along with that, there was a great article about Steve Valentine – a highly accomplished magician and actor – someone who explores each of his effects the way we all ought to. A great read. And so very much more!
Look, it wouldn’t cost a dime to check out the first issue, and, as someone who took the leap, I can assure you it only gets better. Do you want to be a pro? Are you already in the professional magic world? Are you an amateur who wants to learn how to improve every presentation you do? Do yourself a huge favor. Subscribe to this magazine at once. I have never done an endorsement for a magazine before. Here I am, putting my own name on the line in favor of Club 793.8 Magazine, because I believe in great magic, I believe in YOU, and I believe that his new magazine will benefit our crazy magical world in ways that other rags do not.
If I were you, I would subscribe today. And… oh yeah… I have! And, listen to what Mr. Tant tells you – he knows how the magic machine works, from every conceivable angle.
In sincerity, I remain-
