In that time, Kip has helped Lee write and produce several magic tricks, including Three Stylin, Catch 33, and The Diving Board Double.

Kip has also helped Lee with several DVDs, including The Asher Twist and the soon-to-be-released Pulp Friction.

The two have also colaborated on almost a dozen articles for ezines and such prestigious magazines as Channel One and the Magic Circular. In fact, Lee and Kip now write articles for each issue of those two magazines.

Kip Pascal has recently started a new magic ezine, The Magic Mentor. Kip helps magicians improve their magic performance and their image as magicians with this new, Free newsletter.
