2. After 60 Years Magicana" Magazine Comes To An End
--------------------------------------------
Message by Michael Woolf
Managing Editor, "Magicana" Magazine
"Magicana"
Magazine is in the mail to subscribers. Unfortunately this
issue (Volume 60 No. 361) is the last print copy of the
magazine.
"Magicana" has been published each two months
for sixty years, the last thirteen years under my stewardship.
Escalating costs and diminution of advertising have made
it impossible to continue in this format.
"Magicana"
has been running at a personal loss for several years and
unfortunately I can't afford to subsidise the costs any
longer. We hope for an Internet presence at a future date.
In
this last issue Bernard Reid continues his epic History
of Magic In New Zealand - (to be published in hardback book
form next year) we have news from Arun Bonerjee in Indi,a
an overview of ventriloquism by the Editor; David Ginn,
Roderick Mulgan, Richard Webster GMM and Ian Adair contribute
their regular columns.
There
are book reviews by Andrew Wilson and Joel Moscowitz, an
historical piece on Alchemy by Graham Martin; the Editor
reports on the lecture by Kevin James and Jeff Hobson; Roderick
Mulgan reviews "The Illusionists" and is joined
by Malcolm Silverman to look at Electronics in Magic; Andrew
Wilson and the Editor have a preview of the Palmerston North
October Mini-Convention; there's a Report from the latest
Meeting of IBM Ring 160; a Review of the televised promotional
show by "The Illusionists" and by way of farewell
this issue is dedicated to John Calvert.
I
want to thank all who have contributed to "Magicana"
over the years - a list of acknowledgements is printed in
the magazine but it is not possible to name everyone. I
will take this opportunity to thank Alan Watson for his
friendship and support, and I hope to be able to return
the proud name of "Magicana" in a different form
in the future.
With
thanks to all.

4. Blackstone Sr., CBS TV, 1956
---------------------------------------------
Message by Walter Blaney (US)
Today
I happily received from my friend David Charvet (author
of the biographies of Jack Gwynne, Virgil and Willard the
Wizard) this link to a 15 minute video of Harry Blackstone
Sr., on stage in his prime, in a big theater (later named
the Ed Sullivan Theater). It was a national CBS TV show
in 1956, with a live audience.
That
was very early TV..... Black and White, rather poor camera
work, poor sound, and filmed way before there was videotape.
Yet with so little good tape of Blackstone Sr., this is
still the best I have seen. What a thrill to see the master
at work, the way I remember him live on stage at the Majestic
Theater in Dallas, Texas in 1940 when I was just 12.
Blackstone
Sr. was my boyhood idol and the main inspiration to my becoming
a magician.
It
was dubbed for David by Bill Larsen Jr. 20 years ago from
The Magic Castle archives. As David wrote me, "Enjoy
the trip down memory lane"

Stuart
Edge isn't your average magician. Instead of death-defying
David Blaine antics, his magic tricks have much more heartwarming
results.
The
YouTube do-gooder and prankster sought out people in need
in Provo and Orem, Ut., taking $1000 out of his own savings
to make the days of 10 different people. For the video,
Edge performs a trick in which he switches a $100 bill in
his closed fist with a $1 bill in another person's closed

6. Remarkable Magic #305 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
If
it's summer then it it's 'Dry Heat' time in the desert!
Once
again it is nearly time for one of the years truly fun events-The
Dry Heat Classic. The 11th 12th and 13th of July are the
dates for 'The 17th Annual Dry Heat Classic Golf Tournament
and All-Star Comedy Review.' It will feature all the fun
and spectacular entertainment that makes it such a wildly
successful and enjoyable event each year.
The
event is brought to you by The Michael Finney Foundation,
and has resulted in nearly a million dollars being raised
for a variety of great causes over the years. The event
is planned, produced and hosted by one of the nicest teams
in magic Michael Finney and his wife Lori SooHoo Finney.
They do a truly amazing job of making it fun to be part
of such a worthwhile event.
Once
again the event will be held at the beautiful Wild Horse
Pass Hotel & Casino in Chandler, Arizona. The beautiful
showroom there will be the venue for the various shows associated
with the event. This year the 'Dry Heat' has a 60s theme
that warms the heart of an old hippie like me. Finally a
chance to wear one of my many headbands in public without
worrying that I might be considered to be doing an Amazing
Johnathan impression!
As
always the tournament will kick off with a Gala Celebrity
Chef's Dinner/Silent & Live Auction. I was there two
years ago and can still taste the cornucopia of exotic dishes
prepared by some of the finest restaurants and chefs in
the Phoenix area. There were great items in the auction
and we ended up the delighted owners of a beautifully framed
and signed David Copperfield photo for the wall of my magic
loft.
Friday
and Saturday the actual Golf Tournament takes place at the
Southern Dunes Golf Club and Whirlwind Golf Club. The evenings
are devoted to two great comedy and magic shows at the 'Ovations
Live' Showroom back at the Wild Horse Pass Resort. As always
the performers are a 'Who's Who' from the entertainment
world. These shows are also open to the public for the modest
ticket price of $25.
The
two headliners of these two comedy concerts are Ritch Shydner
and comedy legend Gary MuleDeer. I have worked with Ritch
in the past and on any given day he may well be one of the
funniest comics in America. As for MuleDeer -well, I may
be one of his biggest fans and in spite of having seen his
act numerous times I am already in overdrive about seeing
it again. If you have never seen Gary perform you are in
for a treat.
There
are numerous other performers slated to appear in these
two shows including, Larry Wilson, Rick Michel, Jim O'Brien,
Kenton Knepper, Jack Mayberry, Bruce Baum, Luna Shimada,
Fielding West, Kenny Bob Davis, Stephen Bargatze, Oscar
Munoz, Nate Bargatze, David Gee, Scott Henry, Tom Parks,
Denny Johnston, Greg Wilson and a host of others. Oh, and
I'll be up there onstage myself!
'The
17th Annual Dry Heat' takes place just a few days before
the kick off for the IBM Magic Convention in Phoenix and
is a special added bonus for convention goers who arrive
in town a little early. One of the many things that Michael
and Lori really 'do right,' is the fact that separate tickets
can be purchased for most of the separate functions and
events.
I
would draw your attention to Michael's website www.michaelfinney.com
which will give you details, times and prices for the various
events. The number of the Ticket Box Office is 1.800.946.4452
extension 7370.
Buy
that new tie-dye tee shirt you know you really want, put
on your headband and be a part of this groovy event that
has done so much for great causes in the last 16 years.
Be there or be square!

7. Festivals and Low Budgets - #301 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.kyleandkellymagic.com
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
So
what happens if you market to a festival and they are interested
but keep telling you that they have a "limited"
or a "low" budget? The first thing to realize
is that they may be telling you the truth. The best avenue
to take is to not assume that they are trying to get something
for nothing.
As
a professional, it is your job to work with them and engage
them in conversation. Ask them to tell you what their needs
are for the event and what they are looking for. By doing
this, you are getting them to start conversation so that
you can listen and lock in on those needs. It also begins
to show them your worth and the value you can add to their
event.
So
by doing this first I can weed out those who really may
not have a large budget or I can find out if by chance they
stated that because they were not sure who I am or why I
am different than anyone else. My goal is to show value
to them and get them to see me as someone who can offer
them something others simply cannot. This starts with great
customer service.
Another
thing you want to be aware of is if they state a low budget
before you get a chance to tell them what you offer. You
want to always offer festivals multiple packages that are
based upon a tiered system of pricing. I usually offer 3
package types for festivals and each one is structured in
such a way to allow any festival of any size to be able
to have me and still fit their budget needs.
So
if they mention low budget, start to let them know you understand
their needs and that is why you have developed different
packages to address the needs of festivals like theirs.
This gets their interest and they will like the fact that
you are willing to work with them.
If
they still have a budget issue after seeing your package
and price options, there may be ways that you can still
offer them a show at a reduced day rate. Instead of doing
2 shows you may decide to only do 1 show and reduce the
price. Instead of doing 2 hours of strolling magic, you
can suggest a single hour for a reduced fee.
I
also learn to listen well because I can often barter an
agreement for those festivals that may really want me but
may not have the funding or the sponsorships available.
For
example, I can often times get them to give me a large vendor
space and an awning, chairs and table for FREE.
This
way I can have a full day BOR table for the entire festival
and not have to pay for it. The idea is to never reduce
your fee unless you are getting something back from them.
They have to realize that you have value and your time is
money. By lowering a price but still giving them exactly
the same thing, you decrease your value.
However
if you do barter make sure that it goes both ways. This
means that if you offer a shorter show etc. then they should
give something back in return. To simply do a shorter show
without anything from them, is not bartering and does not
benefit you.
Some
of the ways you can work events like this are:
They
get a sponsor for you: This means that the sponsor pays
your fee to be there and not the festival. In return for
the sponsorship, you agree to mention their name throughout
the show, they get a booth or table near your show area
and the festival committee agrees to do advertising for
the sponsor at the festival in the way of banners, ads,
and flyers.
A
shorter show vs. free stuff from them: This means that you
offer a shorter show or a shorter number of shows in return
for a free booth space all day as well as free advertising
throughout the festival. I have done this before and it
can work. You just must get a contract out to make sure
that both parties agree upon the conditions and promise
to do what is agreed upon. If you are selling BOR, a short
20 minute show would be more than fair in return for a full
day's booth space. You will have to see what your show and
time is worth though.
Grants:
They get the funds through a grant they can obtain. There
are many grants available and open for communities. Some
forget that they are available. If you mention it to them,
it is another way in which they can look into it and a better
chance of them being able to receive the funds to pay for
your services.
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. Magic - Art, Craft or Neither - Part 15
--------------------------------------------
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 3 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 3rd 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
3 of 3 follows below:-
Art
is a powerful thing. It transcends time and culture. Today,
someone will visit the Louvre in Paris and weep in the presence
of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, even though five centuries
(and probably a language) separate the artist from the audience.
A
listener will have their mood altered by an opera performed
in a language they do not even understand. Dancers will
tell stories that completely enthrall their comprehending
audiences without even a single word and sometimes even
without music! Magic, on its own, does not have this power.
Magic
is a tool that a successful actor uses to complete a performance.
I am, of course, not the first person to suggest that the
performing magician is in actuality an actor. The phrase,
attributed to Robert-Houdin,"A magician is an actor
playing the part of a magician" may be the most oft-repeated
and oft-ignored statement on the theory of magic performance.
If we reduce magic to its purest form, removing the other
arts such as acting, dance and music what remains? The techniques
we use, the sleight of hand or mechanisms used to physically
create our effects. This is magic
it is not art, it
is artisan. It is a craft. Add that craft to the dramatic
arts of acting and then Art can be created (an, perhaps,
"real" magic of a sort).
Consider
for a moment the difference between dozens of technically
proficient but boring card or cigarette manipulation videos
on YouTube and Cardini. The artist Cardini tells a story
that is enhanced with magic. Take the magic away and Cardini
could still entertain with his pantomime alone, he can still
tell a story and create an emotional bond with his audience.
The reverse is not true. Magic on its own is perhaps surprising
or shocking at best and is probably merely a puzzle. It
is a skill that can make a magician seem to defy the laws
of science and nature.
However,
without that same magician performing something beyond that
skill, such as acting or singing, magic is a curiosity.
This is why there are not degrees in magic being offered
at the colleges and universities that train painters, musicians
and actors.
The
magician can be an artist and create Art. The magician can
create a bond with audiences and lead them to experience
a variety of emotions through his performance but only when
he uses the craft of magic to enhance the story being presented
through dance or song or drama. So I implore all magicians
reading this not to leave insulted that their beloved art
is merely a craft but instead embrace the fact that you
can indeed create Art. Use magic for what it is and grow
as a performer. Remember the most important words of Robert-Houdin:
"The magician is an actor
."

"Hi
Paul,
The magazine is terrific. Nani, Greg and I thank you so
much for publishing the article by Nick Lewin and Mike King.
They both wrote beautiful words. And of course, none of
this would have happened, including the magazine itself,
without the amazing and revolutionary efforts of Paul Romhany.
As
I said on the phone, your efforts are leading the international
world of magic into a new era, particularly when we realize
that none of this could have happened only a few years ago.
There have been many developments in the art of magic over
the succeeding centuries.... From witch doctors, to performances
in town squares, in theaters throughout the world and then,
as it became possible, on television.
In
recording the history of magic, it will be written that
this latest advance was led by Vanish magazine, leading
to the vast expansion and elevation of the art of magic,
which, thanks to you gentlemen, is definitely on the way.
Happy
Magic!
Mark Wilson"
