2. "Nocturnal Trio" Gets Great Reviews
----------------------------------
Message from George Schindler- Public Relations - S.A.M.

Combine beautiful harp music, a beautiful woman and two of the most
revered performers in magic and you have a winning evening with the
"Nocturnal Trio" made up of Tina Lenert, Eugene Burger and Max Maven.
Their initial debut at the Magic Castle received nothing but "rave"
reviews. When you combine heavenly music (Tina Lenert) and a range of
magical emotions plus smart, mysterious, funny, sexy, performances
brought forth by the commanding presence of Max Maven (mentalism &
audience participation) all carefully blended with the joy of Eugene
Burger's warm magic you have a winner. And they're coming to New York-
The "Nocturnal Trio" is one of the featured evening presentations at
the Society of American Magicians Centennial- July 3-4-5-6

4. Carter Beats The Devil
----------------------------------
Message from Paul Romhany (NZ)

I have just returned from Mexico and while there read a fantastic
novel by Glen David Gold that I highly recommend to all magicians and
thEIR partners or anybody who just enjoys a good read. The book is
called Carter Beats the Devil and is about Charles Carter aka Carter
the Great, set in America in the 1920s.

It is a thrilling story filled with historical references that evoke
the excesses and exuberance of roaring twenties, pre-Depression
America and is a complex and illuminating story of one man's journey
through a magical - and sometimes dangerous - world, where illusion is
everything. Mike Caveney had this to say about the book, "His
historically based novel, Carter Beats the Devil, is layered with
accurate descriptions of strange-looking apparatuses, the distinct
language used by magicians, and with eccentric personalities that
existed only during the heyday of vaudeville." If you want to read an
excellent novel then I suggest you go to your local bookstore and see
if they have it. ISBN 0-7868-6734-5

Just a reminder that I will be in Auckland for 2 weeks over Easter
work before getting back to the cruise ships.

5. Wayne Dobson Publishes New Booklet For Magicians
----------------------------------
Message from Chris Banks (UK)

Wayne Dobson, Britain's top TV comedy magician, has just launched a
brand new booklet 'Dobson's Choice' featuring 13 easy-to-master close
up routines ideal for the professional and amateur alike.

Published by DTrick A5, Soft-back, 20 pages, Reviewed by Roy Johnson
for Goodliffe's Abracadabra. Let there be no mistake - this book is
brilliant! Its appearance and production is quite staggering for such
a slim book. Its multi-colour cover exudes quality and the inclusive
photograph of Wayne's smiling face and twinkling eyes create an
excitement of expectancy even before the book Is opened! When you do
manage to tear yourself away from the cover (back & front!) your
expectations will be surpassed because the material detailed inside is
superb.

You may now be thinking that Roy Johnson is going 'over the top', but
I genuinely believe that to any performer, professional or amateur,
this book is (as Ken Brooke would have said) Gold Dust. The 13 tricks
are superbly created and honed to perfection by Wayne himself during
countless performances; on stage, cabaret, his TV series, TV guest
appearances, close-up, lectures and social events. Wayne's choice of
Stephen Tucker to put his thoughts and actions onto paper was truly
inspired because each and every one of the 13 items is written with
great clarity. Thanks in part to the two-column layout and intriguing
balance between black, white and grey printing. The remarkable thing
to me is the total elimination of sleights to achieve the effects,
without any loss of effect or entertainment.

Of the 13 Items there are 10 card tricks of Infinite variety,
including one feature 'stand up' as used by Wayne over many years at
top venues around the world. The three remaining items feature coins,
'objects' and borrowed ring. One small 'carp' could be the lack of
Illustrations, but Stephen's concise and well written explanations
leave nothing to the imagination.

To order your copy of Dobson's Choice send a blank email to
booklet@waynedobson.co.uk for details.

6. Tour In And Around Waikato/Rotorua
-------------------------------------------------------
Message from Ray Cooper (NZ)

I have just finished a successful tour in and around Waikato/Rotorua.
I performed in 19 schools over 5 days for World Vision promoting the
20 hour famine. I knew most schools expected a speaker. It was great
to present the message using magic, ventriloquism and sound effects.

The response was great. Very tiring, but VERY rewarding!

7. Next www.martinka.com Auction
----------------------------------
Message from Ted

is planned for March 18th-24th, 2002. This auction will have a great

10. The Magic Circle Collectors' Day
----------------------------------
Message from Edwin A Dawes (UK)

25 MAY 2002
The programme for this year's Magic Circle Collectors' Day, to be held
at the Centre for the Magic Arts, Euston, on 25 May, is now finalised
and promises to offer another splendid occasion for collectors,
historians, and all magic enthusiasts. It is an open event and
non-members of The Magic Circle are welcome to attend.

From the U.S.A. Tad Ware makes a welcome return and will be presenting
a superbly illustrated talk on "The Scrapbooks of Carl Hertz," in
which he will present convincing evidence that Hertz was a much better
conjurer than he is currently given credit for. Tad is the owner of
Hertz's scrapbooks, which cover the performer's career and provide the
basis for the presentation.

Dr Philip Butterworth, Reader in Medieval Theatre at the University of
Leeds and author of Theatre of Fire, will be delving back into the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with his talk on "Brandon, Feats
and Hocus Pocus: Jugglers Three." It promises to uncover new
information on these early English performers.

Dr Roger Woods will relate a curious and amusing story relating to the
misadventure that befell one of Scotland's most colourful performers
when he played Blackburn with "Dr Walford Bodie and the Case of the
Strange Electrical Suit."

To enlighten everyone on a medium that is not usually associated with
the performance of magic, one of its seasoned practitioners, John
Wade, will take as his topic "Radio Magic."

Finally, attention will be focused on another great Scottish conjurer
when the Chairman of Collectors' Day, Eddie Dawes, in association with
Bobby Bernard and John Derris, provide their "Tribute to John Ramsay,"
whose legendary sleight-of-hand and incredible misdirection dazzled
the world of magic.

Tickets for Collectors' Day, including lunch, are available from The
Magic Circle, 12 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HD. Price £22.50. Box
Office Telephone: 020 7388 6480 Fax 020 7387 5114. Payment may be made
by cheque (payable to 'The Magic Circle') or by Visa / Mastercard.

12. The Orchante Saga #67, 68 & 69
----------------------------------
Message from Tommy Orchard (The Amazing Orchante)(UK ex-pat Kiwi

On tour with the .Spectacular '74. Fun and tribulations!

Twenty City and town centres, from Motueka at the top end of the South
Island of New Zealand to Invercargill, the most Southerly city - it
was quite a run. The tour ran, with other 'ports of call' in-between -
up the East coast from Timaru, Christchurch, Blenheim etc., across to
Nelson, Motueka and then down the West coast from Westport, Greymouth,
Queenstown, Invercargill and worked our way back up the East coast -
Dunedin, Alexandra, Omarama etc.

The Travelling arrangements were; 'Prentice' (the band) travelled in
their own van, which carried all their instruments and sound
equipment, the promotions manager Bxxx - who worked for Eddie Brooks,
had his own car and we had ours - a Humber Hawk. To make things
interesting and to prevent boredom whilst travelling, the artists/band
members would switch cars in which to travel. One day we would have
Craig Scott and Angela Ayers with us the next it could be Brendan
Dugan and a couple of the band members - it was a good arrangement and
worked well until we got to Greymouth, when the oil rings blew in our
'trusty' Humber Hawk (Bloody 'Murphy' strikes again). We left the car
in Greymouth -to sort out at the end of the tour.

Jumping into Bxxx's car was not the most pleasant of experiences. He
was the most personable and likeable of chaps but unfortunately he
suffered from a medical condition that tended, through no fault of his
own, to insult one's olfactory senses somewhat - it was in fact, way
beyond the bounds of etiquette! Even within minutes of having had a
bath/shower his odoriferous 'fragrance' - in simple language, his
potent body odour, could - ''KNOCK A BUZZARD OFF A 'SHIT' WAGON''
(American slang for old fashioned sewage collection, by horse and
cart)! In N.Z. it was more politely called - THE 'HONEY' WAGON. Aw c'
mon, it's history!

To gain some sort of relief from the unpleasant stench that emanated
from the poor fellow's body, it was wise to have two windows partly
wound down to create fresh airflow through the car. It was therefore
somewhat of a mixed blessing when, on our way to Queenstown (for a
Sunday night show) - somewhere south of the Haast Pass, on a freezing
cold day, a passing car threw up a stone that totally shattered the
window screen. The glacial temperature that came off the Southern Alps
and later, the 'REMARKABLES' (The mountain range that surrounds
Queenstown), together with the wind that howled through the car, even
at low-speed, chilled us right through to the bone marrow! We stopped
at a store on the side of the road and bought every newspaper that
they had, stuffing them underneath shirts, trousers, tops and
dresses - protection from those freezing conditions, they didn't help
much. FOUR HOURS LATER, when we finally arrive at him Queenstown, we
must have resembled 'ice statues' we sure felt like it. It took some
thawing out before we were ready for the show that night, and
everybody except Angela Ayers and myself wound up with colds, bad
chests and sore throats, after that Antarctic like experience!

Brendan Dugan, apart from singing, was also the Compere for the show
and for some reason on this particular night, decided to appoint
himself as -"Me 'BIG CHIEF' - Sound Technician"! Now there is one
thing I just cannot stand, and that is someone, ANYONE - MEDDLING OR
PLAYING AROUND WITH MY SOUND SETTINGS, ON MY OWN SOUND SYSTEM -
ESPECIALLY DURING MY PERFORMANCE! I have NEVER stumped off stage
during my show in the middle of such a calamity, I was far too
professional for that, but afterwards? Woe-betide all concerned - I
have been known to cause minor riots! Sound and lighting men
throughout 'Club Land' in Sydney Australia, in fact all of New South
Wales, Qeensland etc., during the Seventies and Eighties - when we
were living there, quickly learnt to -'Leave Things Alone, where 'The
Amazing Orchanté' was concerned'! Here in Great Britain, I was
especially 'feared' by D. J 's in Disco Clubs from one end of the
country to the other, including North and Southern Ireland, and the
Continent, from the top of Norway to the Island of Crete! They all
quickly learnt that you "DON'T mess with 'ORCHANTÉ'S' sound"! (I've
digressed)!

Nothing is more off-putting when performing to split timed music, for
the volume to be suddenly turned down to the point of inaudibility -
then gradually turned up again so that you can only JUST hear the
music. Instantly, everything goes flat and the excitement that has
been generated by your music as well as your performance has gone -
not just for you but more importantly, your audience.

Page 68
The impact could be likened to watching say -'The Lord of the Rings'
at the movies when, right in the middle of a most dramatic scene, with
all the ensuing bangs and crashes etc. the sound suddenly goes off! I
can guarantee that YOU would be left feeling - irritated, aggrieved
and 'out of it'!

During the interval, by which time my fury had increased tenfold, I
had Brendan bailed up in a corner - threatening to remove certain
parts of his anatomy that would have a dramatic effect on his ability
to impregnate - from then on! My Maori blood was on the boil, as was
my temper, I was seething. He was so terrified, as well he should have
been, that he started crying but what really galled me was when he
screamed for Veronica, who came up and put her arms around him -
protecting him from me with a "There, There, the 'Bad Man' will go
away soon"! I did, in disgust! HE NEVER TOUCHED MY SOUND SYSTEM AGAIN.
Looking back now, I may have been a bit rough with him but I do like
to think that it was a lesson well learnt that perhaps, may have stood
him in good steed in latter years.

Veronica and I were only 31 years of age when we did this tour - my
God, that's almost 28 years ago, it sounds worse when you say 'over a
quarter of a century' - everybody else was in their twenties - except
Angela who was 18/19yrs.old. The cheeky 'bitch' called us 'Mum and Dad
'! We have fond memories of 'Tangles' and Angela Ayers sitting on the
end of our bed in various hotels, after shows - listening to ghost
stories that they insisted Veronica relate to them (she probably got
them from her Scottish mother), for the life of me I can't remember
why, now. Perhaps it was because Tangles told Angela about the strange
'goings-on', in the house in Timaru. One night while she was relating
some story to them, she noticed that the bedroom door was swinging
slightly in a draft. Veronica asked Tangles if he had closed the door
when he and Angela had came in. When he replied, "Yes", Veronica said,
"Strange, it's open now", both he and Angela went white - she was
almost as skittish as he was.

Poor Tangles - in almost every hotel that we stayed, somebody would
find some reason to convince him that 'bizarre things' happened there.
I remember one hotel that had a trap door right in the middle of the
narrow foyer. The trap was full of sand so one of the band members
(who were all Tangles mates) stuck a couple of boots into it and then
told Tangles that a skeleton was buried underneath them - HE BELIEVED
IT. Another time, we made sure that Tangles was kept it in the bar
while I, using a bit of magical ingenuity, tied one end of black
thread onto a coat hanger in his wardrobe - in such a way that when it
was pulled, all the other coat hangers would fall off as well. The
thread ran from his wardrobe out the door and along the corridor to
the next bedroom. Later that night, after everyone had gone to bed, we
waited for an hour then pulled the thread. The resultant clanging and
clashing as the coat hangers hit the bottom of the wardrobe and
Tangles terrified screams was music to our ears! Entertainers and
musicians can be such 'Evil Bastards' at times - THATS SHOWBIZ!

There was only in one 'BAD THING' during the whole tour, apart from
the Dugan/sound episode; it was a review of the show in Nelson. I will
repeat here word-for-word. It was headed: -

UNSPECTACULAR 'SPECTACULAR'
Sunday evening's family variety spectacular '74 failed to come up to
the standard now expected of professional New Zealand entertainers.
With the one exception the standard of presentation was
disappointingly amateurish.

THE ONLY ACT, WHICH MANAGED TO SALVAGE THE SHOW, WAS THAT OF 'ORCHANTÉ
', HYPNOTIST, SWORD SWALLOWER, MAGICIAN AND A CLEVER MIMIC. He was the
sole performer to hold an otherwise restless crowd quiet while he
digested swords up to their hilts and swallowed flaming torches only
to relight them with regurgitated flame seconds later. In the second
half he mimed songs like "My boomerang won't come back" and "Well
Goodness Gracious Me!" to the obvious delight of the 600 audience.

Others who appeared were Craig Scott, the Reflections, Angela Ayers,
Prentice and Brendan Dugan, who compered the show.

Page 69
Craig Scott sang most of his more popular hits but Michael Jackson's
"Ben" got him the most applause. He sang that well.

Angela Ayers pranced and cavorted her way across a stage. The days of
kicking off the shoes and donning a straw hat belonged to the Maria
Dallas era of six or seven years ago and it is a pity Miss Ayers is
not confident enough in her own ability to entertain without this.

Prentice, the backing group really showed how far they have to go
before they become professionals in the true sense of the word. No
matter how many times they have seen the act or how bored they are
with Miss Ayers' back, there is no excuse for bad manners on stage. If
they wanted to hold private conversations or if they found the roof of
the stage more interesting than the music they were playing, this
should not become obvious to the audience.

Comparisons are odious, true, but it is difficult not to compare the
supposed professionalism of the show with the Val Doonican show, which
was here last week. Doonican is an international star with years of
experience but if New Zealand entertainers want a good national
following, they will have to take a look at the image they are
presenting.

Angela Ayers said after the show they were tired and the audience last
night just didn't want to know. Good audience response evoked a
similar response from the stage, she said.
But that was not entirely true. Professionals create an empathy with
the audience. Last night's show barely got off the ground. -S.C.
-POSTSCRIPT-

Personally, I think that the critic was who did this review was being
grossly unfair. Yes, a band should always look interested, whether
they are or not but apart from that, I KNOW that it was a great show,
with some very talented New Zealand performers, who were right at the
'top of the tree' or were heading that way, at the time. Bloody
critics! They're all ..s out there!

My mate Martin, who comes and stays with us on a regular basis, told
me the other day that when reading the saga's, he has great fun
looking at the various posters that are displayed around the walls
here in the spare bedroom (see page 64 - last paragraph), picking out
the names that he's reading about. He is sure going to have a field
day with this one, as all their photographs are on display as well!
