2. Jay Scott Berry NZ Lecture Tour
----------------------------------
Auckland 9th October 2001
Wellington 10th October
Christchurch 11th October

Message from Jay Frasier - President, IBM Ring 319
One of the world's finest magicians, Jay has been called a modern Merlin and
renaissance man. He is a unique and dynamic performer who is also an
accomplished composer, with 3 CD's to his credit. A producer and creator of
original effects, Jay is known as a visionary Artist whose shows and
lectures have helped shape the current State-of-the-Art.

In New York, Hollywood or Chicago, London, Paris, Rome or Monte Carlo, Jay
Scott Berry can be found weaving magic, music and imagination for theatrical
productions, private shows and corporate events.

In the last few years...England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden,
Finland, Denmark, Luxembourg, China, the U.S. and Canada...the Journeys
continue

I just wanted to let anyone who might have seen Jay Scott Berry lecture who
might be wondering if his stuff plays for lay people that the answer is a
resounding YES! I recently had the opportunity to see Jay perform for a room
full of lay people in rural Oregon. That's right, lay people from the
country in Oregon.

I believe it was the best magic show I've ever seen. The audience seemed to
thoroughly enjoy the performance. His stuff "went over" extremely well.
People laughed with wonder throughout the show. Several times I turned
around and looked at the audience's faces. Everyone had huge smiles on their
faces.

Jay's performance was not challenging and it had no "look at how good I am"
feel to it. Jay took us all on a journey of wonder and astonishment. At the
end the tremendous applause was genuine and well-deserved. Much of the
material he performed is in his current lecture and workshop. If you have
the opportunity to catch this modern-day wizard, I'd highly recommend it!

The New Lecture-
Jay, I saw you in San Francisco, CA yesterday (Feb 3,2000) You were
fantastic....unbelievable....best I've ever seen.. Never seen a professional
close-up like that. I've seen lots of shows, but never a lecture like
that...I saw Doug Henning in 1982, and got picked to go up on stage for his
needle through mirror trick and also his walking through the plate glass
mirror illusion, but seeing your lecture was the highlight of my magic
appreciation. Even knowing your methods, your sheer skill and artistic
expression were beyond words...Again, thanks for the show, and much
congratulations to you...

3. MAGIC.....Live!
----------------------------------
Message from Bernard Reid (NZ)

Sadly, personal commitments precluded my attending the full four days of the
convention but I did manage to attend the last two full days and a few other
activities.

The most impressive thing about the convention, I felt, was that without
exception, everyone I spoke to concurred that it was the BEST convention
they had ever attended. The next question was obvious, and so I asked it
......."Why? Even though everyone agreed it was the best convention, their
answers varied as to reasons. A sampling: It has been structured in such a
way that there are a maximum of activities and yet there is plenty of time
for individual socializing........ At long last someone has had the
foresight to not overload a convention with lectures but has interspersed
other events that are more interesting. (I agree as I'll explain
later)...........There is no structured, pre-printed program. The program of
each day's events is posted on the bulletin boards first thing in the
morning, so everything is a surprise...yes...but also, everything was top
shelf. There was eager anticipation about the public shows, as noone knew in
advance who was appearing on the bill and with no printed program for the
show you were in for a big surprise. It was a great idea that worked.

Never in 35 years in professional magic have I seen so many "names" in one
location at one time. Everyone that is anyone in magic was there. As one
attendee joked "I think Stan Allen has called in every single outstanding
favour". I was also surprised how many overseas attendees there were. It was
good to see Ton Onosaka again as well as Vanni Pule from Malta. The
Australian contingent numbered eight, including Steve Walker, Kent Blackmore
and yes Bill Walsh - he made it.

Registration was limited to 800 which is the seating capacity of the theater
and strict fire regulations in Las Vegas do not permit standees in a
showroom. Needless to say, it was a sell-out.

Not only myself, but many others concurred that two outstanding events were
the interviews (that replaced some lectures). The first was a brilliant
interview by Lance Burton of Channing Pollock. Not only was it fascinating,
in depth and extremely entertaining, but it showed another side of Lance
Burton. That of a skilled interviewer. The other which was also very
interesting was the interview by Max Maven (Phil Goldstein) of David Blaine.
David comes across as a very complex and fascinating character that as one
attendee commented, "looks like he's heading to start a religion"

The mini museum set up was interesting, well laid out and spacious. The
dealer's room had at least 20 dealers with everything from illusions to
close-up on display and sale. As the entire convention revolved around
"Magic" magazine, obviously the dealers were limited to advertisers in the
magazine but that is more than a fair representation of the market.

The farewell show on the Wednesday night was a great bill and a fitting
closing to a wonderful convention. It was effectively MC'ed by Mike Cavaney.
In sequence it featured Topaz from Germany with his trademark sunglasses
manipulative act. Jeff Hobson followed with his riotous brand of comedy and
his miraculous handling of the Malini egg bag. Mike Michaels was up next
with his Robot act. Truly fine dove work with multi-colored doves followed
with the very professional Ceilin from Canada. He was followed by a
show-stopping, standing ovation, juggler whose name unfortunately I missed.
With his own unique brand of comedy magic, Mike Finney followed to a
wonderful reception and the show closed with the very stylish, and uniquely
different illusions of Nicholas Knight and Kinga. A very powerful and
entertaining two hours with just the right blend of manipulations, comedy,
illusions and novelty. All in all an outstanding convention, well organized
with innovative concepts. Let's see if Stan waits for the end of the 20th
volume for the next one?

5. Illusions For Sale
----------------------------------
Message from Tony Wilson (NZ) twilson@xtra.co.nz

I have decided to sell two illusions at the Auckland Convention (or earlier)
One is my Doll's House Illusion built by the late Harold Chandler in 1966
from English plans I purchased from Brian Nye.

I can send any interested buyers an illustration of the house and answer any
queries if they are interested.

The second Illusion is Boy (or girl) to Rabbit (or any other small animal)
featured in David Ginn's book Professional Magic for Children Pages 205 to
212.

Once again I can forward further details to interested parties. The illusion
was made by Ron Mogridge in 1974.

My reason for giving early notice to sell these two illusions is so that any
interested buyer can make early contact and, if they are successful
purchasers pick up the Illusion(s)in Auckland at the end of December and
take them home with them after the Convention.

If not sold prior to the Convention I will have both on display (with all
the extra covers, rabbit box, dolls etc at the Convention) and sell during
the trading table time on the last day.

10. Show Biz Alive And Well, Florida To Nova Scotia
----------------------------------
Message from Bev Bergeron (US)

Just returned to Orlando, Florida where we started a month long tour
crisscrossing Highway #95 all the way to Nova Scotia.

Orlando has a new dinner show on International Drive the heart of the
tourist trade. Masters of Magic Show starring Typhoon Lou Marin opened in
the middle of July and has survived a month of hot weather and decreased
crowds in the area. Disney has cried in the press of the lost of attendance
for the summer. This cry was repeated by all the central Florida theme parks
and attractions.

Our first stop on the road was Greensboro, N.C. where I was to lecture and
perform my acts for the South Eastern Alliance of Magicians. Then a jump
over to Virginia Beach where a similar event was being prepared with me
closing a public show on Saturday night. The standing ovation was warming in
a even hotter weather then we left in Florida. Next stop was Boston where we
got to watch several Buskers working the streets in the Union Street
historic area - all doing good business.

We had planned on visiting with Anthony Liebel who was working the York Wild
Kingdom in York Beach, Maine, but because of the distant and the heavy
traffic had to cancel. The jump to Bar Harbor, Maine to catch a fast CAT
ferryboat to Nova Scotia where we were to join up with a week of the Halifax
Busker Festival was longer then we had anticipated. All the many performers
at the festival impressed us but one that stood out the most was Andrew
Elliott from Australia. We met with several of the Halifax I.B.M. Ring
members and gave a mini-lecture. The weather was hot there for the
performers too. A return trip via the CAT brought us to Mystic, Ct., which
was having a beautiful portside village art festival - big crowds there too.

The next day was a Monday and the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport is normally
closed except for special tours. I felt privileged by having Lawrence
Fisher, Executive Director give us a personal tour. This is a must on every
circus fans list. My first visit to the Bridgeport museum, but I've spent
months in the tribute to Barnum and the circus in San Antonio, Texas. Fisher
told us what we are now seeing will be quadrupled in the next four years
with a new museum being reconstructed within the walls of the beautiful old
original science and history building that Barnum gave to the city plus
additional space from adjoining structures. There will be a hands-on circus
room with daily busloads of school children to learn about the circus and
the life of Barnum.

We left Barnumvile to head to the big Apple in a thunderstorm that would
match anything Florida has thrown at us. The rest of the week was pleasant
Sunny days that were a bit too hot for the locals - cool to us Floridians.
It was a pleasure to see a magic variety show working the theatre on the
dark night of the production of the "Fantasticks." Since I attended the U.
of Texas with Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, the two who wrote the longest
running show in the world, it was nice to see variety acts working their
theatre. We also got to see "Fosse" with Ben Vereen and a sixteen-piece
orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra, play at Birdland. Cabaret has
always been one of my weakness and visiting the Oak Room at the Algonquin,
home of the famous literary round table that housed Dorothy Parker, Robert
Benchley, etc. was icing for the trip. What a surprise that I got when I
found that the star of the evening Carol Sloane's husband/manager knew me by
name and asked me to perform for a small group.

My funny bone was tickled by watching the ticket hawkers for Broadway shows
(the big hits of the year) push ticket sales on the streets at Time Square.
Barnum and all who has followed would be proud of them. Yes, the biggest
shows still have to promote to get the tickets out. We all wish for the
attraction that will just bring in the bucks, but that is dreaming - isn't
it.

A short visit to Morehead, N.C. for a show and then a quick stop to just see
the advertising, not the shows, in Myrtle Beach, S.C. All seemed to be doing
business and all promoting with large outside poster boards and plenty of
tourist rack give away flyers. Magician Allen Valentine seemed to surpass
most of the other shows with his outdoors advertising; class material.

Our return home was met with piles of unanswered mail and hundreds of phone
messages plus the modern email screaming to be answered. Yes, show biz is
alive and well up and down #95. The food is high line and the motel/hotel
rooms are out of sight. The economy may be dropping off a bit, but the flags
are flying.

12.. The Orchante Saga #42
----------------------------------
Message from Tommy Orchard (Orchante)(UK ex-pat Kiwi)

"buried alive- the coffin of death"

Some time in October /November of 1971 I was contacted by Noel Oliver and
Pat Whelan of BARB FILM PRODUCTIONS who represented a James Bond-style Stunt
Show which involved around 20 stuntmen who, between them, leaped off 40 ft
cranes, were knocked over by speeding cars, staged fight scenes, chariot
races, raced through a Tunnel fire and got blown up with dynamite while
inside a coffin etc. They wanted to know if I could come up with something
different and - or spectacular, that could be seen in the middle of large
stadiums and speedways for their forthcoming tour of New Zealand, starting
in December.

 After some thought I said " how about I get buried alive in a coffin, for
the duration of your show" (Around two/3 hours) This appealed to them,
especially from a publicity point -of-view, as the air in a sealed coffin
would only last around 10minutes or so, at the most. If I could perform this
rather dangerous yogi feat, I would be required to sign a waiver that would
let them off the hook in case anything went wrong. Confident that I could,
with controlled breathing, and for the right sort of money, perform this
Hindu type mystery, I would be most happy to sign their waiver!

My next step was to visit the local undertaker in Whakatane. When I told him
I'd like to look at some coffins for myself you could just about read his
mind -'he's a sensible bloke, looking ahead to the future, I'll show him the
most expensive ones and explain that in 50 or 60 years' time they will be
worth 10 times that much' - and when I said that I like to see the biggest
ones available the cash register in his brain started 'smoking' as the
dollar reel spun frantically around, clocking up astronomical amounts! The
words have yet to be invented to describe the expression on his face when I
told him that I was going to be buried alive and not only that, I didn't
intend stay buried. This apparently 'sensible chap' had, in just a few
moments, turned into a raving, totally insane, maniac! After explaining to
him than I was a professional entertainer/Fakir/magician (which didn't help
the insane factor too much) my request became a little bit more plausible -
just a little.

He took me out to a back room and pointing up at a top-shelf where several
coffins were stacked, and said, "I have a rather large one up there - it's
what we call a family coffin - it is a type that is used when several
members of one family are to be buried together when there's not much left
of the remains, after a fire, for instance. Do you think that would do the
job?" It was perfect. He was so intrigued with my intentions he let me have
it cheap, for 'A Fistful of Dollars' and for just 'A Few Dollars More',
threw in the handles and the wheat sheaf for the lid as well.

Having procured my coffin I carted it off to my in-laws home, which caused
some consternation - it wasn't 'seemingly ' to have a coffin hanging around
the place. I painted it jet-black, screwed on the handles and wheat sheaf
then had my stage name emblazoned on each side. You sure knew that we had
hit town with The Amazing 'ORCHANTE' in huge, bright fluorescent orange
lettering, screaming out to the world! It was a sight to behold as we roared
down the highways and byways of New Zealand with this 'thing' perched on the
roof rack of the station wagon; all in the name of the publicity, you
understand.

I found that the easiest way to present the 'buried alive' without having a
dig 6 ft holes in the middle of stadiums was to arrange to have a truck load
of sand tipped over the coffin once I was sealed inside. It was a good
choice, the coffin and its contents, namely me, were well and truly buried,
and the sand sure prevented any air from escaping or entering the coffin!
The first show was in Whangamata - it nearly was my last! There I was, lying
in the coffin in a self-imposed trance, when suddenly the ground, the coffin
and myself shook violently - the first thing that ran through a mind was,
'Earthquake!'

The shock of it snapped me out of my trance and I started to breathe heavily
(very dangerous). I had to conserve oxygen, so settled down into 'trance'
again, knowing that if anything was desperately wrong, Veronica, or
somebody, would be digging the coffin, and myself, out from under. It turned
out that the 'boys' who set up the stunt where they would blow somebody up
inside a coffin with dynamite, were far too close to where I was buried. It
was the shock wave that was generated when the dynamite charge was set off.
It travelled through the ground, throwing me, the coffin and all, for a
'six'.

Later, after having a conversation with the crew involved, on the subject of
intelligence and stupidity, they decided it would be wiser to do their
dynamite 'bit' well away from me. Even then, when the dynamite exploded I
could still feel the 'WHOOOMPH' but at least I knew what it was and was
ready for it. While I'm on the subject of intelligence, stupidity and
dynamite - here's a beaut!

Although we did most of the travelling in our station wagon, (we were
working hotel shows in between the stunt shows) - occasionally we would
travel in one of the stunt cars, when they had a run of shows on. One day as
we were going from one town to another we, Veronica and I, sitting in the
back seat, became aware of an annoying rattling sound coming from the back
shelf under the window. It was late December, which is high summer in New
Zealand, and the sun was blazing straight in the back window - it was bloody
hot.

The rattling was driving us crackers so finally I turned around and pick up
a large cardboard box that was sitting on the window shelf. I nearly died on
the spot - inside were several detonators along with some sticks of
dynamite - bloody hell - here's these things rolling around loose, cooking
under a red hot sun, just waiting to explode! There is no doubt that there
would have been one hell of a violent bang if we had chosen to ignore the
rattling and rolling, in the 'thunder-box' behind our heads, and we sure
wouldn't be here today!

January 8th, 1972 - the local Radio station in Whakatane has recently
opened, and to celebrate were having an opening ceremony, and carnival. They
had asked me to do my 'buried alive' as part of the afternoon's
entertainment. As arranged, the tip-truck arrived with the sand, but whoever
filled it must have been blind - it was damn near empty. Oh, well, the show
must go on.

It was a glorious summer's day as I lay down in the coffin; the lid was
screwed down, and the truck tipped what sand he had over the coffin. I
suddenly realised that I hadn't taken into consideration the heat of the
sun - my ten minutes of air/oxygen had been reduced to less than 2 or 3
minutes. The heat building up inside the coffin was tremendous, and I knew
that I wasn't going to make it. By now I was gasping for air, and began
thumping on the lid of the coffin. With the little air that I had, I
screamed Veronica's name, over and over. I could hear the sand being scraped
from the top of the coffin, but by the time they had unscrewed the lid, the
build-up of heat was so tremendous, that the lid exploded into the air, as
would a pressure-cooker. It was only was a very close call - I was fortunate
that the truck didn't have a full load of sand, (I discovered later, there
was just enough to lightly cover the coffin) because if it did, as it should
have had, nobody would have heard me.

After the nearly disastrous incident in Whakatane, I was under contract to
do 4 more shows with the stunt team - 2 in Gisborne, followed by 2 in
Napier. Two funny incidents happened while we were there. The first was,
when we were driving back from Hastings to Napier - the cities are only 12
miles apart - a policeman waved us down (I was going a bit fast). As we
slowed down and stopped, he shone his torch up at the coffin, stared at it
for a few seconds, then without a word, frantically waved us on. WE WENT!
Loved to have known what was going on in his mind. It's a mystery!

The other - we had been invited to a party after the show, somewhere between
Napier and Hastings. As we drove along the main road, we noticed that a long
queue of cars had formed behind us, and nobody was overtaking us. Finally,
we turned off the main road, to get to the party, and many cars followed us.
Turns out, they were going to the party as well, but because of the coffin
on the roof rack, nobody would pass us - either through respect, or
superstition!

Napier was the last time I performed the 'buried alive' act, and the last I
heard of the coffin, Veronica's father had taken it to pieces, and faced the
cupboards of his Ferro cement motor yacht, which he built in his back yard,
with it, so my coffin is now sailing somewhere on the high seas. Bon Voyage!
