Inspired by Strobist.com article, but after the first attempts everyone told me: "Nice Photoshop work".
So, this was made to prove that the photo was made in one take. Carefull its 220v in the socket!
The photo was taken with the socket facing downwards. Two SB800 from either sides illuminates the socket, a third one illuminates the blue background. The light in the bulb is real. A 220v line is soldered to the socket and goes through a hole in the background.
Magic Wallets are part of an old Victorian magic trick, and a beautiful way of presenting a money gift or gift coupon: Present the open wallet, place the gift coupon between the parallel strips, close the wallet and open it again (after turning it around while distracting the recipient) and magically the coupon or bank note has moved to the other side where the ribbons are crossed.
I guess I do not have to say that the money is not included in the Etsy-listing?

Magic Island was a restaurant in Houston, Texas that featured a magic show and dinner at a high price. It closed after Hurricane Katrina and has never reopened since. Locked up pretty well, it has suffered ok against time, looters, and the elements. It has some holes in the roof, there has been a fire, and it has no electricity. With the permission of the people in charge of the property I was allowed to go through and photograph it before it is lost for all time. Most of these photos are either close up with a flash or I painted with my flashlight while the camera was on a tripod. There are disco balls, sarcophagi, a theater and a steam punk elevator. I had never been there before and it was interesting to go from room to room and have no idea what I would see next.

This Magic Carpet Monday I have a shot using some of the new techniques the people here on flickr have taught me. Thanks to all of you who offered tips, and tricks as to how to get some better shots from the show :)

I'm new to photography, so constructive criticism is always appreciated :)

Labor Day weekend we attended the Texas Association of Magician's convention at the Hilton Hotel in Houston. Our convention was on the 4th floor and it just so happened that the Miss Texas and Miss Texas Teen pagents were being held on the 2nd floor. During the course of the evening we were strolling through the lobby and these lovely young ladies asked my husband to see some magic....he was more than happy to oblige:) Oh yes and the somewhat strange attire he is wearing is one of his Steampunk costumes.
