IT'S MAGIC!
November 1 - 4

A great show starring The Hamners, Rich Block, Dale Salwak, Tony Clark,
Derek Scott and Brett Daniels at the ALEX Theater in Glendale. (Guest star
emcee Nov. 1st only - Nick Lewin).

----------------------------------
Greg Hudson (Aust) reports:
I'd let the NZ readers know that Siegfried & Roy's Imax movie is playing at
the Imax theatre in Auckland NZ.

It tells the story of two boys who followed their dreams. It's in 3D so you
get to wear the Imax goggles. Some great effects in the movie with tigers
appearing to jump over your head. If you've ever wanted to stand on a Las
Vegas stage this movie will get you pretty close. There are moments in the
movie where you feel you're standing on the stage with Siegfried and Roy.
There are bits from their show as well as glimpses of their home.

The cost is $14.95 but it is only shown once or twice a day usually about
10am or 11am.

3. Mark Wilson TV Shows On Website - Streaming Video
----------------------------------
Message from Mark Wilson (US)

Remember when you used to have to wait and wait to see a Mark Wilson
illusion performance on TV? Now, streaming video of a different Mark Wilson
illusion is available each week on his website, www.markwilsonmagic.com

This is the first weekly streaming video of illusion performances, an
innovation likely be welcomed by magicians around the world. The first
illusion on the website is THE WALL OF GLASS, invented by Alan Wakeling, and
introduced by Mark on a Magic Circus TV Special in the early 1970s.

Next up is Wilson's famous DOLL TO LIFE, which debuted on the Magic Land of
Allakazam in 1961. The website shows an updated, color presentation with an
excellent performance by Bev Bergeron, as Rebo the Clown.

Then comes THE MOTLEY MAN, followed by Wilson's version of the Dante
masterpiece BACKSTAGE WITH THE MAGICIAN.

The performance segments come from Wilsons' vast video library of The Magic
Land of Allakazam network TV series, the Magic Circus network TV specials,
the Magic of Mark Wilson syndicated TV series and many other television and
theatrical productions produced around the world. Some of these illusions
are original, others are classic, and many haven't been seen in years.

Greg Mulvey of Presto Productions is handling the streaming video duties.

The first two volumes of the new Mark Wilson on Illusions video course, the
first-ever series of videos teaching the performance of illusions, have been
well-received. A third volume, Levitations, is now in production.

Mark Wilson also now has a free Email newsletter for which you can sign up
on his website.

6. Florida Magicians Association October Auction In Orlando
-------------------------------------
Message from Maria Ibanez, President Florida Magicians Association

Traditionally the mid-year meeting of the Florida Magicians Association has
been held during the October auction in Orlando. This year, however, the
Orlando group has decided to hold the auction possibly in January, which of
course would be too late for our mid-year meeting.

Both the Board of the Florida Magicians Association and the Convention
Committee has put their heads together and it has been decided that the
closest to October that we could hold the mid-year meeting will be the first
weekend in November at Magic On The Beach. Rick Del Vecchio, Chairman, has
graciously agreed to allow entrance on Sunday morning to those who wish to
attend the meeting without their need to register for the convention.

The meeting will take place Sunday, November 4th at 9:30 a.m. at:
Ramada Plaza Marco Polo Beach Resort
19201 Collins Ave.

9. 1989 "TIMS Showcase" By Late Member Ken Ward
----------------------------------
Message from Andy Fairbairn

LOOKING BACK HISTORY OF TIMS
Below is a brief article published in Magigram Vol.21 No.9 May 1989 "TIMS
Showcase" fourth in the series is late member Ken Ward

Born and raised in Dunedin, New Zealand. Ken had a very early exposure to
both the theatre and to magic. Having parents who were interested in Opera
and Operetta, he was taught singing from an early age, making his first
appearance on stage in an operetta when he was only 6 years old. Somewhere,
those early days, he was either taught, or picked up, some simple card
tricks.

Around 1950 he saw "The Great Benyon" performing with his large show that
had been so successful in Ireland. After this, the 'magic bug hit hard and
has never let go. Benyon is responsible for a lot of the interest in magic
in New Zealand, along with Sorcar (Snr.), who spent many months touring New
Zealand in the 1950's.

Ken joined his first magic society, The Otago Magic Circle, on his 15th
birthday, 15 being the minimum age to get in, combining talents on the stage
with singing and dancing. In 1958 he taught himself to juggle in order to
add interest to the overture of the 'musical "Carousel" and it wasn't until
the show moved into theatre that he realised that with the spotlights on
him, he was blind and couldn't see the balls. He had been experimenting with
a fire eating act and it was this act that hurriedly went into the Carousel
overture.

His work as a Telecommunications Engineer was calling him, away from his
native land and 1968 saw him leave for the Pacific Islands. The local
natives thought that this strange person who could eat fire was something of
a God.

During this time he experimented with Ventriloquism but had to give it up
when his audience fled in panic the first time he tried it, because they
thought the doll was a Ju-iu (Spirit doll).

In 1978 Ken shifted to England and became a regular Monday nighter at the
Magic Circle, which he had joined in 1970. Upon his shift to the Hornchurch
area in the middle of that year, he joined the llford Magical Society, where
he became a founder member of the group, "The Magician's Entertain"

He is a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, an Associate
of the Inner Magic Circle and is proud to belong to the Ilford Magical
Society.

His travels overseas bring him into contact with many magicians in all parts
of the world.

10. How About A Drink - A Card Trick By Ken Ward
----------------------------------
Message from Message from Andy Fairbairn

A card trick by Ken Ward
I do not know how I came to get this card trick. I do not remember being
shown it by any one. I just know that I have been doing it for the past 30
or so years. (Yes, I really am that old. It is just that good clean healthy
living keeps me looking young.) I have never seen it in print. I have never
seen it sold. I do however; reserve the commercial rights to it.

This trick has bought me countless drinks over the years. My first sets of
cards were simply hand-painted onto blank face playing card stock.

Effect
Four cards are laid before a spectator who is asked to touch any one of the
Four cards. The three cards that are left are turned over, one at a time.
The magician says, "We are going past a pub," (turn over first card which
reads "How about a drink"). When I say, "How about a drink," you say (turn
over the second card which reads "Not a bad idea") "not a bad idea".

Then we come to the question (turn over the third card which roads "Who
pays?") "who pays? Please turn over the card that you chose. (The spectator
turns over his card, which reads "I do"). Make mine a whisky please."

Operation
Place the cards, face down, in order, from the spectator's left to right.
Ask the spectator to touch any card.

It is a little known fact, but a normal, right-handed person, will usually
go to the third card from the left. His other choice will be the second from
the left. If he goes for the second from the left and is subsequently asked
to choose two more he will not choose the third from the left.

A normal left-handed person does the reverse.

If the person takes the card, second from the left, ask him to push towards
you and then choose another, again pushing it towards you, then a third
towards you. He has now left behind the card you want him to have. Tell him
he has made a perfectly free choice of a Card, which he will keep and has
chosen three cards for you to use.

If the spectator in effect has magician's Choice.
If the spectator should foul up the works and leave the wrong card simply
pick up all the cards and say "Bother it, I will show you something else".
This perplexes the spectator who doesn't know what you were trying to do
anyway and he will think that you are a little mad. (If you weren't you
wouldn't be doing these crazy things.)

Patter
'I'd like to show you an experiment with four cards. Now, 'sir, you don't
mind me calling you ''sir', do you? It's only in fun. Just touch one of the
cards, any card quickly now, we haven't got all day. Okay, thank you. (If he
has chosen the correct card.) Just keep your finger on it, will you, so I
can't cheat and change it on you.

(if he hasn't chosen the right card.) ''Okay, thank you, Just push the card
towards me and then touch any other card, OK, push that one towards me and
touch a third, push it to me. OK, (assuming he has left behind the good
card), "you have chosen three cards for me. I could not have known which
cards you were going to choose. Place your finger on the one you have left
for yourself so that I can't cheat and change it on you.

"We are going past a pub when I say, 'how about a drink' You say, 'not a bad
idea', then we come to the question of "who pays?" Please turn over the card
that you freely chose and read out loud and clear what (He says 'I do'.)
Thanks a lot mine's a pint.

(Maginote: This effect originally sold by Davenports after the war. Ed.)

Ken Died at 17:15 Hrs on Monday 28th September 1998 at the age of 56. After
complications for a minor operation

11. History Of The FMA
----------------------------------
Message from Maria Ibanez - Merlina17@aol.com

OK everyone - time again for me to pick the channels of your memory....still
trying to put together a history of the FMA and PLEASE I NEED EVERYONE'S
HELP.

I've done my best to sort through and digest the records, such as they are,
available to present. I've been able to trace the year elected, President,
Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer from the present all the way back to
1974. Before that all I know is that Tim Arango was the First President of
the FMA way back in 1966.

Unfortunately many of the early records were either destroyed or lost when
we lost Nevin Hoefert.

Can anyone help through researching your past copies of convention programs,
mailings, old letters, signed membership cards or other such memorabilia?
How about your own memories, does anyone remember that far back? I'm
counting on all you guys.....

Thanks in advance for your help, here is the list so far, such as it is at
this point...

13. The Orchante Saga #48
----------------------------------
Message from Tommy Orchard (The Amazing Orchante)(UK ex-pat Kiwi)

Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening!

I couldn't believe it! Never in all the years, before or since, during the
untold thousands of times in which I have produced my thimble, have I
received such a 'violent' reaction - I was, gobsmacked - well, quite
literally, I was! Muttering apologies for what, I really didn't know, I
snuck off to my room and waited for the management, police, fire brigade,
SAS, riot squad, army and ambulance to come hammering on my door. They
didn't, of course!

The hotel lounge room was packed for the first night show; it went down a
storm! Assisting me was my girl - friend, Sally Phillips (now Metzger).
Please note the hyphen. Perhaps I had better explain. Sally is my friend -
my buddy, has been for the best part of 30 years - she is also most
definitely a lady, all woman, and a beautiful one at that! I trust that
clears the air, we don't want any nasty rumours starting up now, do we! In
actual fact, back in the Sixties, Sally occasionally worked as an
'emergency' assistant for one or two other artists/magicians when the need
arose and, she kept each one's trade secrets - a lady to be trusted and very
professional to boot! Luv ya Sal!

After the stage show I cleaned up - showered, then headed for the private
bar where I spent the rest of the evening, performing - 'the show after the
show' - close-up magic at the bar, until two or three in the morning. This
was my custom, night after night and word soon got around. Unofficial guests
starting to find their way in and the hotel staff were also there for the
fun, except a certain redhead (with a great right hand) - who would perch
herself on a bar-stool, with a girlfriend beside her, at the other end of
the bar, as far away from me as she possibly could, while I was, 'creating
magical miracles' - oh, the insult!!! Every time I caught her eye, 'icy
daggers' flew in my direction. Once, I went up to her to try and clear the
air but to no avail - I was told, in no uncertain terms that I was, has far
she was concerned, "rude, crude and totally unattractive".

One night, about 20 or 30 businessmen, who were staying in the hotel, had
crammed themselves into the private bar (they were from all over New
Zealand, and were in Auckland for some sort of convention.) They had seen
the show in the main lounge and somebody had told them about my 'magic
session' that followed later. Somehow, the subject of hypnotism came up and
before you knew it, I was presenting a fully-fledged hypnotic 'stage show'
in the bar!!!

With several of the businessmen as my willing subjects, I set up a gangster
scenario, convinced one that he was - Al Capone and that the rest were all
members of his gang. From there on I didn't have to do much, they all
interacted with each other with ' Al Capone' setting up a plan to rob a bank
and giving various members of his 'gang' jobs to do - in between grabbing
some body by the front of their shirt and demanding that they clean his
spats! It was a hoot! Turns out that my 'Al Capone' was actually a jeweller
who came from a small town - Morrinsville or Te Aroha- somewhere like that.
(There's a follow- up about him - I'll tell you later) Eventually, at 2 am,
the bar manager had to close the bar.

One of the businessmen suggested that we transfer the entire 'party' to his
suite and carry on, which we did. At this juncture I must explain that where
hypnotism shows are concerned, I am dead against using blue or filthy
material - public shows should be clean wholesome fun for the whole family,
end of story! Sure, I like my dirty jokes and blue movies as much as the
next guy, but that is private, not public. Yes, it's OK to have a bit of fun
with a close personal friend whom you have 'put under' hypnosis, but never
at their personal expense, monetary or otherwise! (I've wanted to say that
for some months now, after certain untrue comments were made about me, see
page 9 of SAGA)

Anyhow, the suite was packed with very happy and very inebriated, myself
included - males, and only males. The hypnotic Show continued. Now, it was
private. I've suggested to one of the subjects that the most beautiful
blonde in the world was lying naked on the bed and as far as she was
concerned, he was the only man on the world, for her. I'll leave the rest to
your imagination. Suddenly, I became aware that the redhead, who didn't like
thimbles, who thought I was rude crude and totally unattractive, had entered
the room. I was so embarrassed - I put an immediate halt to the proceedings,
went up to her and, practically on bended knees, begged her forgiveness -
explaining that I had no idea there was a woman in the room, that what she
had just witnessed, was the result of a bunch of very happily inebriated
men, at an apparently all-male party, having an over-the-top good time - as
we often do!

You wouldn't believe it, but whatever, however I said it, from out the blue
all was forgiven - this red-headed 'iceberg' had melted somewhat, deciding
that I wasn't, after all, quite so rude, crude and totally unattractive as
she first thought! Miracles will never cease! She was going to the staff
room for a coffee so I invited myself to join her, made my excuses to the
Business lads, and left the party. We had a good old chat where I discovered
that not only was she the chief cashier for the hotel but also the head
receptionist as well! I headed off to bed and collapsed. What a night!

The shows at the 'Marina' had been so successful I was rebooked for the
following week and as the heading of Page 47 states, "things" happened! To
everybody's astonishment, and particularly to the chagrin of most of the
Milford Marina's male staff, this magician/fire-eater had turned on the
heat, somehow managing to melt the 'untouchable' redheads heart - and to add
insult to injury, " THE BASTARD WAS A MARRIED MAN"! Whispers and theories
abounded - "he's hypnotised her, he's a real magician" etc. etc.

One night, the proverbial hit the fan. There are three accounts of what
happened - Sharon's, (my ex-wife) Sally's and mine. According to Sharon, and
she has more reason than anybody else to remember, I was sitting in the
private bar having a quick drink with the 'redhead ' before the show when
Sharon walked in, tapped me on the shoulder, and asked me for some drinking
money. She says that I nearly 'died' on the spot! The 'redhead', quite
sensibly, made herself scarce.

What happened next is how Sally, a 'walking encyclopaedia', who is also
endowed with a great memory, remembers it. Sally was unaware of the incident
in the bar before the show consequently, well, I'll let Sally tell it in her
own words, quote "I'm assisting you on stage and you were just about to do
the sword swallowing when I saw Sharon walk in.. not good.. so, you
swallowed the first short sword then, as you swallowed the big one, you
quickly pulled the thing out and collapsed on the stage floor - much to the
consternation of both the audience and your assistant - me!!! I bent over
and said "Tom, are you o. k." to which you replied, "yeah, just get an
ambulance".

A couple of burly security chaps came and carried you off the stage too many
ooh's and aah's from the astonished audience who thought they had just
witnessed you practically killing yourself. Anyway, we got you into the
manager's office and an ambulance was duly called and away you went, to the
hospital. The rest of the story of course you know yourself." Unquote.

Sally faxed me the above some time ago, and added "when I got off the phone
last night I was killing myself laughing at the recollection of that night.
It really was funny. I think you are right, it would make a good mention in
the - SAGA". It sure as hell wasn't funny at the time!
