My Magic Art-Print Site is On Hiatus

 

For the moment, I’ve temporarily suspended my Magic Art Print site while I reconfigure several things behind the scenes. The current integration between the website, social media, and the printer simply wasn’t working the way I wanted it to. Rather than keep patching it together, I decided to pause it and rebuild it properly.

That said, I am still offering select limited-edition prints.

Some prints have already been retired because they simply weren’t moving, so a few pieces may never be offered again. However, all of the Houdini prints will be returning shortly, along with several brand-new Houdini-inspired works that I’m excited to release.

I know a number of people had expressed interest in different pieces over the past several months. If there’s a particular print you were hoping to get, email me at info@carnegiemagic.com   and put “ARTWORK” in the subject line. I’ll personally let you know what is currently available, pricing, and how to order while the new system is being built.

Now for the good news.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll also be releasing several original paintings from my private collection — pieces I’ve rarely shown publicly, and in some cases, never offered for sale. Among them are a Kellar-inspired piece, a highly abstract work of magic art, and possibly one of the Criss Angel paintings as well.

None of these works will be reproduced as prints. These are true one-of-a-kind originals.

In addition, I am officially opening the door for a very limited number of commissioned works.

At this stage, I’ll probably only accept two or three commissions total. These will be entirely hand-painted original works created by me personally — no AI-generated shortcuts, no mass production, just authentic artwork crafted over time and with intention.

I’ve been painting for more than 20 years, and recently I’ve seen my artwork begin achieving strong prices at auction. Whether you acquire an existing original or commission a custom piece, this is an opportunity to own something genuinely unique.

If you’re interested in available artwork, upcoming originals, or commissioning a custom piece, contact me directly at  with “ARTWORK” in the subject line.

The next phase of the collection is going to be much more exclusive — and once these originals are gone, they’re gone.

Carnegie Now Taking Commissions for Artwork in May

 

I don't do this often, but I am now accepting commissions for artwork this month. If you are interested in having a painting created of your favorite magician or perhaps yourself, then contact me. This is for my abstract portrait design only. There are various canvas sizes and styles to choose from. 

I have been commissioned in the past to do special works. I've done Cardini, Denny Haney of Denny and Lee Magic Studio, Ricky Jay, and others. Besides those, there are 70 or so others, many in private collections. Some were recently released as limited edition prints. 

For this commission, you are getting a hand painted canvas, there is NO Ai involved. This is old school artwork that you can proudly hang on your wall. Once you contact me and we agree on moving forward, there is a 50% non refundable deposit required. The remainder, plus shipping is due upon completion. Splitting the cost seems to help those who are a bit budget oriented. 

This is a first come first serve basis. I have very limited availability this month, so if you want a painting, please contact me ASAP.  You can reach me at info@Carnegiemagic.com and put the world ART or ARTWORK in the subject heading. 

David Copperfield : The End of An Era - Hardly

 

David Copperfield has finished his run at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. A 25 year run came to a close on April 29th, 2026. When he made his announcement several weeks ago, he also announced the final few weeks would be jammed with performances. One had to be cancelled due to technical difficulties. But beyond that it was a grueling schedule and...wait, it was the type of schedule that David and his crew have done his entire career.

From what I have heard, they actually added two new routines during this last bunch of shows. So, as I have said before, if you think David Copperfield is done or retiring, you've got another thing coming. I recent interview with Chris Kenner on The Magicians' Podcast Network,  revealed that David has had multiple offers for other things. Could it be a new tour? A new show in Vegas? A new show somewhere else? A show in some other country? I'd say all the above are possible. And rest assured you'll hear something fairly soon.

A friend of mine asked me if he thought this was it for David, as in retirement. I laughed. The guy has been doing 500+ shows his entire career. He isn't about to stop now. He will go out when people stop coming to his show, or when he drops dead. And apparently the shows have been selling out, so no worries there. 

The moment I hear anything about his next move, I will put it here on the Magic Detective Blog.
