2. No More Pirating Of DVDS Or Books!!!!!!!
---------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Romhany Editor Vanish Magazine
Here
is something that every person who has written a book or created
a DVD to sell to the magic community should read!!! It is
also something very special for every magician who wants instant
books and DVDs.
For
the past several years I have been asked if I would ever put
my books out as PDFs or e-books. The answer has always been
NO because they are too easy for people to share, copy and
STEAL!!!
For
years I have been waiting for software to become available
that answers ALL of my concerns. Would you believe it took
a magician to create the ultimate programme?
Nicholas
Night retired his act years ago, at the height of his career.
He had one of the most memorable acts I had ever seen. He
left magic to pursue his interest in animation which lead
to software development. Recently Nick contacted me through
VANISH magazine, to let me know about something incredibly
exciting. After spending days going over it with a fine tooth
comb I realised he had created EXACTLY what I had been looking
for. A secure place where people can download my books read
them offline but NOT copy them. You can't share passwords
and you can't even take a screen grab. If a screen grab is
taken I am notified and can then take the book back!
This
is like an e-reader. You buy the book or DVD and open up your
e-reader that Nick created, and can read and watch online
or offline anytime.
Here's
what makes it so incredible. I recently put up my Multiplying
Bottles book. It sells for $20 and the DVD with audio sell
for about $45. Now, I was able to offer BOTH to those who
want it instantly, and at a cheaper rate. I gave access for
people to download the audio track, but the DVD and book are
protected. You can watch and read when you like but you can't
record and share it. From a creators point of view this is
a major breakthrough in selling and buying magic books and
DVDs in the modern world.
UPDATES
- here's a feature I LOVE. I have also put up my CRUISE SHIP
book - and had a dozen purchases in the first few days. I
decided to add a video file to the product. Everybody who
had purchased it instantly got the update for FREE. So at
anytime when I update a product, the purchaser will get the
update.
It's
easy to use. You just download the e-reader and then purchase
the books you want. The e-reader is FREE so you only pay for
the products you want. Because Nick was a magician and knows
how people pirate books and DVDs, he thought magicians would
appreciate having something that protects their creations.
By
the end of next month Nick tells me he will have the App version
working so you can read and download on your Iproducts and
Androids. At the moment it is computer read and watch only.
I
will also end up putting VANISH magazine on there with a lot
of bonus features including Chat forum, links to interviews
etc. There is so much more to this than I can write about.
I suggest you check it out at:

3. What's Going On In Korea?
--------------------------------------------
Message by Stan Allen, Editor of MAGIC Magazine
Korean
magicians were certainly the buzz at the Blackpool FISM this
year. They walked off with 8 of the 32 trophies presented
(exactly 25%), prompting many of us to ask, "What's going
on in Korea?" In the November issue of MAGIC Magazine,
Gregory Bracco, who has been living and working in South Korea
for the past decade, answers that question and introduces
us to a new, exciting community of magic.
This
month also features stories on Las Vegas' newest magic headliner,
the return of the SAM Hall of Fame, David Blaine's Electrified,
Bruce Bernstein's mental miracles, and Steve Cohen's two-hour
special on the History Channel. Of course, all our regular
departments are included: Mark Kornhauser's "For What
It's Worth," Joshua Jay's "Talk About Tricks,"
Gregory Wilson's "The Almighty Buck," Joanie Spina's
"Directions," Ian Rowland "Loving Mentalism,"
Payne's "Paynefully Obvious," Mike Bent's "Bent
on Deception," and a filled-to-the-brim "Marketplace."
And
each month, all of the digital extras (exclusive videos, podcasts,
slideshows, and more) are waiting for readers at MAGIC Plus
on our website.

4. Burton Is Suing King And Voelkner
--------------------------------------------
Las Vegas Review-Journal
Norm Clarke
Prominent
lawyer pulled out of a hat
Comedy magician Mac King and his producer Bill Voelkner have
retained a Las Vegas attorney who is no stranger to defending
prominent entertainment figures.
Mark
Tratos confirmed Tuesday that he has been hired by King and
Voelkner to
represent them in their legal tiff with fellow comedy magician
Nathan Burton.

6. Remarkable Magic #55 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
A
few notes from the magic front!
I
have received some great feedback on my two columns on the
use of video in magic. I am always delighted to get your comments
and ideas for useful future columns.
One
topic that I didn't cover was the use of a pre-show video
presentation to set up the opening of a live show. These were
very popular for many years and indeed rather effective. They
were usually referred to as 'credibility builders' and contained
a bunch of short clips from ones various TV appearances.
I
certainly used one for many years and it was a rather fun
video that combined television footage with archival promotional
footage and clips of some of my friends/heroes/mentors. If
you would like to view it (it is actually rather fun for magicians!)
you can find it on my website at http://www.nicklewin.com/my-magical-mystery-tour.html
I
very seldom use this video now as things have got much tighter
in regard to copyright restrictions. Clients can be very nervous
about potential lawsuits due to infringements. They were always
fun though and I do miss the way they managed to let your
audience know about your credits without having an MC mangle
them!
More
to the point now is a brief Keynote/PowerPoint clip that can
run after your show to let audiences know about your website
information. I generally also have a very simple graphic with
my name and photo that is shown on any screens prior to the
show. These can both be burned onto CDs with a back up on
a thumb drive.
It
was a lovely surprise to have Harry Anderson performing at
the Magic Castle last week to celebrate his 60th birthday!
It was his first performance there in 20 years. I celebrated
my 60th birthday in a similar way earlier in the year. In
my case 28 years since my last engagement!
It
is rather a nice trend! However, it does remind me of how
many of us 'young' Castle performers aren't quite as young
as I remember! With the Castle celebrating its 50th birthday
this year, it is amazing the amount of us performers who grew
up perfecting our craft there.
I
really do miss the wonderful old cartoons by Ted Salter, which
used to adorn the walls of our clubhouse. They were a very
classy roll call of the performers associated with the Castle.
They were recently removed, for the most part, and I really
do regret their absence. Nowadays, if you get a fancy frame
of a colored photo and get it into someone's hands - then
it arrives on the wall maybe!
The
Castle is looking good though as it enters the second half
of its first century! While there are many changes being made
(and predictably, many are not popular) it seems to be gracefully
and profitably entering its middle age era! Having Jack Goldfinger
at the booking helm is a true blessing for the club.
On
one final note, I want to mention what fun I am having writing
my column every month for Paul Romhany's Vanish magazine.
I am really impressed by the ever improving quality, content
and style, in his free downloadable magazine. Not many things
in life are free anymore, Magic New Zealand and Vanish are
two wonderful additions to the magic world and I am proud
to be a part of them. I truly don't understand any magician
who doesn't subscribe to them both!
I
have some really great magical items in my online store and
more being released all the time! There is also some great
video there that is unavailable anywhere else!

7. Your Name or The Shows Name - #278 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
I
was talking with a friend the other day when this topic and
question came up. I felt it was a great discussion as I am
sure a lot of you may have faced this same problem before.
Question:
When you design or have designed a piece of marketing material
(such as a poster or biz card or other type of hand out) do
you put the name of your show or your stage name as the primary
focus of the piece?
Answer:
Unless you are Copperfield or David Blaine, chances are your
name does not carry with it much weight to lay people in the
community. I do not say this to folks to be mean but just
to be honest. Even if we have a strong following, most folks
have no idea who we are.
Now
I think it is important to brand YOU and who YOU are to the
markets you work. However, the most prominent part of the
poster or marketing material would be the name of the show.
The reason is usually that is descriptive enough to grab attention.
Folks simply want to know fast and easily, what it is you
are offering to them. They may look at it and go "What
is this? oh a magic show? cool."
In
all honesty the importance is getting folks to know what your
product or service is. THEN I brand my name so they know it
is ME that is offering said product or service. So if you
have a formula, it would have to be 1) what is the product
or service you offer and then who is offering this said product
or service and then follow that up with supporting information
that gives them more details.
Now
some may say they disagree with this statement. Usually they
state this disagreement because they know of someone that
is doing amazingly well and all they do is state their name
only with less importance on a show title.
This
is true and I have seen this as well. However, this usually
is the case when a certain performer has established his/her
brand so well in their local markets that they work, that
they can and should market their name first. Over many years,
a performer may have gotten their brand recognition so up
there that their brand name alone carries with it weight and
power.
However,
it takes time to do this effectively and it takes time to
get any brand recognized at a higher level. In most cases
most entertainers are not there yet. If a consumer sees a
name only, chances are they have no clue who you are or what
you do.
So
in this case you need to use a combination of show name and
then your stage name. You must use both because you want to
start growing brand recognition. However, first they need
to know what your product or service is and then associate
that product or service with the name they see. That is (in
part) how brand recognition is built up and created over time.
So
once again, you have to build brand recognition. That does
not happen overnight but comes with doing a great show and
great offerings and having your marketing slowly build it
to a successful level.
As
always, I encourage you the readers to let me know your thoughts.
So if you have any thoughts on my articles or suggestions
or comments, please feel free to e-mail me directly at magic4u02@aol.com.
I would love to hear from you.

8. In Conversation with Pat Fallon - #6
--------------------------------------------
Message by Anthony Darkstone Brook - Europe/USA
www.patfallonmagic.com
Part
6
AD:
Share with us a bit about your Bio.
PF:
Wow! That has put me on the spot . well, let me see I am,
in a nice way and as you know Tony, quite proud to state that
I am in the vanguard of Irish Magicians with an international
reputation. And may I add that I am Ireland's only resident
Gold Star member of the Inner Magic Circle and also a recipient
of The Merlin Award from the International Magicians Society.
I've won several awards and competitions including both the
Irish IBM close-up and stage competitions and in 1995, I was
the first non-British act ever to win at the British Magical
Championships.
I
am happy to say that I am booked regularly to appear at magic
conventions presenting my Close-up act, classical stage act
and also lecturing on my particular style of magic. In association
with Practical Magic I released my first DVD entitled, 'Magic
for Older Children' and I'm pleased that it has proved very
popular with children's entertainers.
AD:
As many who have followed my work over the last two decades
know, I am quite vocal on certain aspects of the Performance
and Presentation of Magic. Therefore, I must publicly state
that I am a great supporter of your views . care to share
some of them?
PF:
I would be delighted Tony. Thank you. As a person I am very
outspoken and have strong views about almost everything. It
was Quentin Reynolds when secretary of the Society of Irish
Magicians who coined the phrase "There is not much happening
at this meeting tonight so let's get Pat Fallon up on one
of his soap boxes". Never been one to resist a challenge
I would duly oblige, because I was sure to have something
bugging me that I needed to get off my chest.
Even
nowadays someone will say "What's that creaking sound,
oh it's Pat Fallon saddling up one of his hobby horses, so
look out everyone because someone is in for a verbal bashing?
So while we are on the subject here are just some of my dislikes
about magic in general.
Young
magicians who think they know everything and that practice
and rehearsal are dirty words.
Magicians
of any age who simply take the trick from the packet or DVD
and perform it as described without trying to add anything
of them self to it.
Magicians
who steal other performer's material or lines which really
should be on top of my list as I feel so strongly about this
problem.
Illusionists
who dance around too much, because they can't be bothered
to have the music edited to fit the presentation.
Magazine
reviewers who do not have the backbone to be honest about
the material they review, because the people in question are
friends.
Magicians
who have loads of excuses for why they will not perform in
front of other magicians, while ultimately the real reason
is the fear of discovering how bad they really are.
People
who only believe positive reviews or comments, but can't take
criticism, constructive or otherwise.
Magicians
who use false or misleading publicity material.
Magic
dealers who edit video footage to make tricks look brilliant
when in reality they are never going to work in the real world.
Most
modern Television magic programmes because of the use of stooges
and clever editing.
I
could go on, but I think I have said enough negative stuff
about our business and the people in it otherwise I will just
be seen as another grumpy old man, so I will follow this up
with things I do like and enjoy.
