Legends never die. They just grow more fabulous with each retelling. Denny Haney is just such a legend (December 26, 1945 – January 23, 2019).

This site is dedicated to his legend and its roots…performance magic!

If you are a practicing magician, wish to learn the art, or are just consumed with wonder and delight when watching a magician ply their craft, this is the place for you!

Originally built by Denny Haney himself, we endeavor to honor him and his craft by making this site everything he dreamed it could be…a place for magicians, aspirants, and fans to come, learn, laugh, and be amazed…just as Denny did for audiences for four decades.

I was sad to hear so, so late about the passing of Peter White late last year. I was shocked I was not aware earlier…

Peter was a legend in the dove and silk magic world. I remember seeing his lecture for the first time as a teenager at a Florida State Magic Convention. And he was so kind to spend an additional hour or so privately with me (from a mutual friend’s introduction) and shared even more inside knowledge. WOW!!! How was I to know at that time the effect it would have on my act and how many of his dove & silk gimmicks work become standard in the magic world today. (With no credit to him I might add!)

Nobody took more pride in his teaching and products than he did. As the owner of P&A Silks, he filled a niche that is not easy to find. (Where in the world can I get the white streamers for my act now???) His old lecture notes called “Pete White Dove and Silk Lecture” are available from time to time on Denny & Lee’s Magic Studio website. Believe me, you will not regret the purchase!

For the time being, you can see full details on Peter, his life and his passing on his P&A SILKS webpage.
