Al Cohen will be honored by the Society at this convention.
He sold magic tricks to both amateurs and professional performers
who made Washington DC a "Mecca" of magic. His
favorite customer was President George H.W. Bush who often
stopped in to visit and buy a few pranks. The "National
Gift Shop" on Pennsylvania Avenue changed its name
in the 1940's. Al often performed a spoof magic act as "Pernell
Zorch" and was a popular corporate performer in the
District which honored him in October of 1984 with "Al
Cohen Day."
Four of the convention shows will be open to the general
public. All will be held at the Marriott Hotel Crystal Gateway
grand ballroom.

5. Remarkable Magic #304 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
Some
shameless self-promotion.
I
decided to share a few items about my future goals this
week. Generally speaking I try to minimalize my self-promotion
but I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you a little
bit about the exciting things that are happening in my life.
I am happily entering a semi-retirement and somehow seem
just as busy as ever, just doing different things! Here
is what is happening
.
Just
over a year ago I set up a company (Lewin Enterprises) to
market a line of magical products. Like most other performers
who are starting to slow down their performance schedule,
I decided to market some of the knowledge and routines that
have served me well over the last 40 years. If a fully-fledged
Pro can't speed up your learning curve--- who can?
I
had some definite ideas about how I thought this business
should be conducted. I was determined only to market routines
that were tried and tested in the red-hot glow of actual
performance. No pipe dreams or half thought out ideas. I
wanted the items I sold to be practical and commercial and
everything manufactured and released in the highest quality
manner possible.
In
the past 12 months I have released two books, a DVD, lecture
notes and one trick. I am delighted to say that with NO
advertising and very little promotion, I am about 3 years
ahead of where I thought I would be. Not only have sales
been great but everyone who has purchased these items seem
to have been very pleased with them. Now I am going to take
it several steps further.
I
currently have 24 items ready to go into production and
an ambitious schedule to release 13 of these items in the
next 12 months. During this summer I will be unveiling three
new items; a genuinely show stopping mind reading routine
'Mental Trilogy,' and a great close-up routine that re-sets
itself for roving magicians called 'Ultimate Card In Envelope'
kick of the list. I am also extremely excited to say I am
releasing one of the most practical items you can imagine
'The Ultimate Microphone Holder.' If you perform in public
then you need this item.
Following
the arrival of these three items I will be releasing DVD's
of my handling for the 'Ultimate Slow Motion Newspaper Tear,'
and the 'Ultimate Half Gypsy Thread.' A strong Cards Across
routine and killer color change silk prop/handling will
follow. By the end of the year I will have released my signature
'Ultimate Borrowed Bill Routine,' which has more surprises
and twists than you can imagine. These are all tried and
tested routines that have been a huge part of my highly
successful show.
In
order to keep this schedule going and the quality of the
props as high as my personal goals require, Susan (Mrs.
Nick) and I are delighted to welcome a new team member to
work with us. His name is Rolando Medina and he is a master
craftsman and manufacturer. Along with our dear friend and
designer Steve Mitchell, this will be the core of our company.
It is a great group of people I am proud and excited to
be working with.
I
invite you, my readers, to join us on this new journey.
I pledge to keep very high standards and try and be a real
credit to some of the magic suppliers/teachers that have
helped inspire me to make this decision. Magic has been
very good to me and I have earned a great living since my
teenage years and I believe I will be able to add significantly
to the repertoire of magicians.
You
can keep track of new releases via my website www.nicklewin.com
and my blog www.remarkablemagic.com and of course my contributions
in this and other magic publications. You may also feel
free to contact me directly at nicklewin1@mac.com

6. A Thank You - #300 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.kyleandkellymagic.com
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
This article marks the 300th article I have written to date
since my start here as a columnist for the Magic NZ Ezine.
I just wanted to take this column as a chance to say thank
you to many and to share some insights with you all.
I
am still absolutely thrilled and humbled that I got a chance
to write even one article for Alan's ezine. When he asked
me, I honestly did not see any reason for him to run it.
I just wrote a response to a beginner magician. Alan felt
it was written well and really conveyed a lot of information
others might like to hear. I took his word for it and I
am glad I did.
I
seriously thought that would have been a one and done deal.
One article and move onward doing something else. I was
shocked when he asked me to write again
and again
and
again. 300 articles later, I am still at it.
It
is amazing to even myself that I seem to still have things
to talk about and ideas to share with you all. I cannot
thank you all enough for the countless emails, phone calls
and comments I have received over the years regarding things
I have written about. It does mean the world to me.
It
is always my goal to make a person think or to get them
thinking in new ways or spark an idea of their own. Everything
I write about is from my own personal experiences. Many
of them are even from my own mistakes of which I have learned
from. If I can perhaps prevent someone from making the same
mistakes, I will always try.
What
I am most proud of is the fact that I have been able to
do all of this as a deaf entertainer. Growing up with severe
hearing loss was not easy. School was most challenging and
English was next to impossible. I just never understood
it well and I certainly hated writing.
Each
time I get to write an article, it makes me smile and makes
me realize how far I have come and the magic I have been
able to make in myself.
Thank
you all so very much for the opportunity to write for you
and I look forward to many years ahead.
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.

7. Magic - Art, Craft or Neither - Part 14
--------------------------------------------
Message by Anthony Darkstone - USA/Europe
At
the beginning of this series, I mentioned that I would be
including thoughts & musings from various guests who
have kindly shared their perspectives. Last week we published
the first Part of Michael Lauck's article in: iTricks.com
. This week we publish Part 2 of Michael Lauck's article.
Michael Lauck is a freelance writer, illustrator and producer
who has been involved in magic since childhood. A former
semi-professional magician, he has discovered he prefers
behind the scenes over the spotlight. Michael writes material
for other performers and regularly for iTricks.com. His
recent article there made a number of salient points regarding
this topic. Both Michael and the folk at iTricks.com have
kindly given their permission to share his words. This is
the 2nd installment.
Michael
Lauck is a Professor and The Archivist for Camelard College.
I am honored to serve alongside him as a Faculty Member
and Full Professor. The Camelard College of Conjuring of
Chemmis, the world's only international Honor Society for
accomplished women and men magicians, as well as those in
the Allied Magical Arts.
Michael
Lauck www.horizonmonster.com
iTricks
writer Michael Lauck explains why there is a wealth of context
to the question, "is magic art?"
Part
2 follows below:-
Finally,
I submit to you a quote from famed novelist Leo Tolstoy
who wrote in his essay "What is Art?" that Art
"is a means of union among men, joining them together
in the same feelings, and indispensable for the life and
progress toward well-being of individuals and of humanity."
It seems that the commonality in these definitions is an
emotional aspect. I submit that Art is created when the
work has an ability to engender emotions in the audience.
It is not enough to be merely attractive, pleasant or entertaining;
Art does more.
Let
me be clear: not every piece of artwork that creates an
emotion is Art. Art must create the same or similar emotions
in the majority of audiences exposed to it. Therefore, a
crude painting from that third grade art class mentioned
earlier is not Art simply because it makes the artist's
mother cry! Neither is a photograph of long lost family
members Art simply because their descendants feel an emotional
connection. These instances are too specific, too personal
to be truly considered Art. Similarly, even an earnest attempt
to create Art fails if it does not stir emotion in an audience.
Much
more After The Jump!
If
we can accept this working definition for Art then we can
more easily understand what constitutes "the arts."
These are the pursuits that create Art, that engender emotion
in their audience. Is magic an art? No, I say, it is not.
I know that others will argue that a magic performance can
create emotion, they may even cite specific performers and
their routines. To confuse matters temporarily, I will agree
that magicians can be artists that their performances can
be Art without magic being an art.

2 of 3

11. Alan Shaxon's Outstanding 'Confabulation Deluxe'
--------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Stone (US)
I
have recently received several requests for Alan Shaxon's
outstanding 'Confabulation Deluxe', and I'm delighted to
say that we've just received a new batch of 24 of this wonderful
effect.
It
is without doubt one of the strongest and most commercial
Cabaret and stand up effects in magic. For a limited time
only, I will also include the Confabulation DVD which features
Alan explaining his set up and handling, and two 'live'
performances of his signature trick.
The
quality of the props is first class and both the wallet
and notepad are made in the highest quality leather. We
won't be making any more of these for a while, so I highly
recommend that if you are interested, you should order whilst
these are available.
