"I can't believe I found this on Amazon.com! Years ago I bought this when it was an LP at Merlin's Magic Shop in Disneyland! I played it for background music for my magic act. It got misplaced and I could never find it again. Now all these years later it's back on CD! All the original compositions are here, composed & played by Mr. Verne ("Phantom Of The Organ") Langdon on a massive 4-manual, 34-ranks-of-pipes Wurlitzer/Robert Morton theatre organ - yep, the real thing, not a synthesized organ sound!). Music For Magicians was created primarily for people who perform mysterious, amazing feats of prestidigitation, but this CD is some pretty fine theatre organ work too. I belong to a theatre organ club, so I'm used to hearing the best. Verne Langdon masters the instrument splendidly, and the result is a unique concert of epic proportions! Thank You, Mr. Langdon, for keeping the magic alive! All your original compositions ("Dance Of The Skeletons", "Dante's Inferno", "Carnival Of Souls", "Opening Fanfare","Closing Fanfare", "Schwebethema Fur Princessin Irene", "Spirit Symphony", "Hypnotique", "Pandora's Music Box (Dream Theme"), and "Thurston's Marvels") are all just awesome! Whether you're into magic, or theatre organs, or just plain fun music, you'll enjoy "Music For Magicians". I recommend it highly!"
