2. Broken Wand - General Norman Schwarzkopf
--------------------------------------------
Message by Jamie (The Sandgroper)

OK ! - what's the death of America's General Norman Schwarzkopf got to do with a magic newsletter?

He was a brother magician and like all magicians he thinks/thought just that little different. Was that his secret/s on the battlefield?

None of the Obits in the media mention it - so thought that I should.

We had another famous one in World War Two - Jasper Maskelyn, Credited with all the fake tanks, guns, depots facing France for "D-Day", and also other large scale camouflages.

There was another in World War One. Graf Felix von Luckner, alias the 'feared' "'Seetuefel" (See Devil'). Bring him up on the net -but don't believe anything he says there. Do you do the Hindu Shuffle? He was doing it in Queensland as a mini-teener as the 19th Century closed. Queenslander, Jean Hugard [et al], saw a band of Hindu 'fakir's doing it, and then wrote it up in one of his "Card Manipulations". The young German Count was working his way around Australia with them. He came to New Zealand and Australia on a Nazi spy mission in 1938, and did some tricks for the media. Cinesound Newsreel has him doing the Tearing Telephone Book in half.

Jim McKeague might like to follow-up these Fakir's of the 1900 to see if they did anything like the alleged 'Indian Rope Trick'.

3. Broken Wand - Scotty York
--------------------------------------------
Message by Bill Wells (US)

Scotty York passed away unexpectedly on December 28, 2012 after a short illness. Scotty was 75. He was a legendary close up and bar magician in the Washington, D.C. area and the creator of a number of effects many of which have been featured in the repertoire of other famous magicians. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held on January 26th from 3 to 6 pm at the Old Hickory Golf Club in Woodbridge, Virginia, USA.

4. Broken Wand - Harry E. Colestock

Message by Ben Robinson (US)

Harry E. Colestock
(1923 - 2012)
By Ben Robinson

On December 28, 2012, a Renaissance spirit left Earth after dazzling its inhabitants much the same way Jacques Cousteau or Leonardo Da Vinci did. While Harry Colestock did not achieve the legendary status those icons did with their flying machines and underwater lungs, Mr. Colestock did something that surely no magician before has done: he designed a computer that is currently on the moon. That computer has been there since the Apollo mission of 1969, when Neil Armstrong uttered the famous words, "One small step for Man. One giant leap for Mankind." As of this writing, that computer is still transmitting data to Earth on solar and thermal patterns, his machines exceeding expectations by thirty years!

Harry Colestock's brochures depict his various talents: Magician, Clown, Santa Claus, and watercolorist. By trade he was an engineer. But, his visionary spirit and intelligence surely wrought other more elite titles.

After running his company Ann Arbor Instruments for many years, he moved north to Petoskey, MI. After 57 years of marriage to his wife Marian, she passed. But, not before, on her deathbed making Harry promise that he would not look away from love. One year later, he married Marilyn on June 16, 2001.

Harry was one of the select invitees to the exclusive invitation-only 1987 Oban Event produced at Niagara-on-the-Lake Canada by the irrepressible Bob Weill. Along with John Booth, Allan Slaight, Ken Klosterman, David Ben, Stewart James and Sid Lorraine (among 30 other impressive names) Harry was able to bring his very refined expertise as a electronics engineer to the wonders sought, and executed, by star magicians. For Billy McComb he created the deKolta card shower; and for David Copperfield a two-way microphone that let the magician communicate backstage without the audience being aware.

Harry Colestock was a poet who published a book titled What Really Matters. His voluminous output of watercolors wrought tears of joy in the eyes of the lucky owners. Ships sailed on lakes, baseballs pitchers unloaded fastballs and flowers burst into bright colors to the viewer. The judges who awarded him honors at many competitions, throughout the US - where he often took first place - were impressed he began painting in this medium well into his 70's. One New York magician made sure Harry was introduced to master Chinese watercolorist Charles Chu (who had educated the foremost Chinese scholars and Chinese calligraphers in the US over the last 50 years). Charles Chu and Harry Colestock made perfect compatriots given their mutual love and talent for poetry and an accompanying illustration.

As a gigging magician Harry performed at school shows, Kiwanis Club (where he was voted Kiwanian of the Year twice), and hospital shows with frequency over 60 years! Well into his 80's, he was toting his original magic bag to all sort of shows, one of the last being at a company party where he was not only engaged to do magic and make balloon animals, and Santa, but he also donated the watercolor painting he created for the company lobby.

His accomplishments, impressive and many, Harry designed the guidance computer for the Atlas missile that put astronaut John Glen into orbit in 1962. While less dramatic, hundreds of school children received his aid when his tutorial skills for math or science were sought. He was always willing to lend a hand. Today, some of those students are now designers of computer architecture and platforms for companies we all know: Google, Microsoft and Apple. Harry and Marian lived near Whitmore Lake in the upper reaches of Michigan. The Superintendent of Schools wrote, "Harry Colestock is one of the most unselfish people I have ever met." For the Red Cross, Harry Colestock personally gave 87 pints of blood, nearly ten gallons. He wrote that he had been given so much and it was the responsibility of such fortunate people to give back. He did what he said and said what he did.

Harry's last book Industrial Robots was published by McGraw-Hill and sold thousands in the industrial and educational market the first week of release in 2004. Harry Colestock was awarded 37 patents throughout his lifetime. Chances are, something in your home right now, no matter where you live on this planet, is under the rubric of a Colestock patent. The automaton he made in replica of the great ventriloquist-comedian-magician Jay Marshall rests in the forefront of the American Museum of Magic. Harry was one of the producers of the Michigan Magic Spectacular, and later ended up being interviewed on stage by superstar TV magician Paul Daniels. Of that meeting he was particularly proud, Harry being a huge Daniels fan.

Whether being Director of Engineering for the Burroughs Corp, or Bendix Aerospace, or General Electric (where he tested gun controls), Harry brought his quiet, supremely innovative mind to his work. One of his sons continues in his tradition being based at a Los Alamos lab. In line with his father's accomplishments, his team discovered a breakthrough Quark, which was noted as a breakthrough in physics. Another son became a colonel who marshalled troops in the Gulf War, called Desert Storm.

In 1993 Harry returned to New York City, after a 40-year absence. He had not been in Gotham since he returned from Europe as an enlisted man after WWII. He had been brought to assist a magician in designing a one-man show for the largest festival of street entertainers extant, the 1995 Buskers Festival. Over 18-months, a script was created out of several hundred hours discussion and then many letters were exchanged over 18-months. Due to Harry Colestock's guidance, that show went on to open for the acclaimed singing act Earth, Wind & Fire, and later enjoyed a 20-week development deal in Seattle. His gossamer touch was evident in the final production.

We will never see his kind again. Harry Colestock will be sorely missed.

Review for Linking Ring magazine

January 2013 issue of The Linking Ring magazine,Vol. 93, No. 1:

Editor: Samuel Patrick Smith
Reviewed by Paul A. Lelekis

The Linking Ring has the largest circulation of any magician's magazine. Members can access TLR at www.magician.org.

The January issue of TLR is customarily dedicated to the British Ring #25, the world's largest I.B.M. ring!

Our cover and inside story features the newest President of Ring 25, Mr. John "Sly" Smith which was written by past I.B.M. President, Vanni Pulé! Plus Geoffrey Newton reports on the Annual Convention by the I.B.M.'s British Ring 25 in Great Yarmouth!

In addition, this month's Hocus Pocus Parade was assembled by Ian Adair - as he has done for over three decades! He presents the magical contributions of some of the members of Ring 25! Year after year, the brethren of the I.B.M. are honored with the brilliant magic of this group of multi-talented magicians! I've said it before and I'll say it again - ".these British magicians have something special going on!" They are extremely talented and the rest of the magical world is very fortunate to be able to share their magic! Check This Parade Out!

Note Page Three of this month's TLR! Early registration for the I.B.M./S.A.M. 2014 Combined Convention in St. Louis will be for 28 days only (Feb. 1- 28) where members can receive a big discount! Those who take advantage of this offer will save $100!

Past I.B.M. President, Mike Stratman, continues to promote the 2013 I.B.M. Convention in Phoenix, Arizona, July 17-20. Early registration Before Feb. 1 will save you $25.00!

From The Editor of TLR, Sammy Smith puts a positive spin on a 100-year-old tome by Elbert Hubbard. The controversial Mr. Hubbard wrote, "To escape criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." Sammy Smith decided to put a "positive spin" on this apparently negative castigation with," .do something, say something, be something!" What a wonderfully positive outlook for coming New Year!

Celebrating The Linking Ring is an article by Ring 165, observing the ninetieth anniversary of TLR with this ring's namesake, William V. Rauscher and the wonderful assistant to the Great Blackstone, Adele Friel Rhindress!

Polishing The Rings by Skip Way discusses the "7 Rules For Successful
Magicians!" The Kid-Show Circuit by Marty Hahne presents some very good advice, "You Can Never Be Too Careful", addressing having at least ONE adult present in your Kid Shows! BUSINESS OF THE SHOW by Scott Humston discusses about getting publicity for yourself by "tooting your own horn"!

Cutting Up Jackpots by Bev Bergeron is always a treat! Bev presents an article this month on Professor Pearl Reynolds! This old-world magician would float in to his shows by parachute after having cut himself loose from a hot air balloon! Fascinating!

For those of you who love to learn new magic will be thrilled with the wonderful contributions of magic, fully explained, in the following articles:

Mike Power's Card Corner - All I will say about this month's Corner is that we are all very lucky to get a contribution by gambling expert and master card man, Darwin Ortiz!

Ways And Means by Joe M. Turner presents a very cool walk-around trick called, "Fortune Telling Prediction" by Henry Holava. This is a very sweet effect!

Peter Marucci's Showtime presents his very first marketed effect called "Assault & Battery" which is a clever effect with a clever "play on words"!

Storytelling Magic by Ed Solomon provides readers with "Ghosts, Goblins and Gully Gaggers"! A very colorful story and effect utilizing the popular, "Ghost Trap" otherwise known as "Glorpy" or "Hiram the Haunted Hank"! Dust off your old trick and use this patter!

Hocus in Focus has a team of experts who review many new items of magic so
that the magicians of the world may purchase wisely!

The Broken Wand pays a monthly tribute to fellow performers who have passed.

There are too many articles and too much magic in this issue of The Linking Ring for me to list, but everyone is world class!

Advertisers -- your products will enjoy unsurpassed worldwide promotion in The Linking Ring through the beautiful printed magazine, the dazzling digital edition, and links from the I.B.M. Web Portal. For details about advertising in The Linking Ring, contact BJ Hickman at advertising@magician.org.

6. Magic. Mayhem. Mystery. Murder?
--------------------------------------------
Message by Stan Allen, Editor of MAGIC Magazine

Well, maybe murder. Maybe not. One thing's for sure: somebody's dead, and the art of magic might have something to do with it.

The scene is the Trocadero Vaudevilles theater at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. has hired Harry Robenstein to perform his magic in a variety show, alongside a number of other acts. Things get hairy for Harry when another magician barges onstage and cuts the wire Harry uses to raise his Hindu Rope in the air. The interloper is the young Erik Weisz. He exposes Harry's method, claiming that he, Erik, will be the greatest magician in the world. Robenstein is enraged that this young man not only exposes his magic, but that Erik wants his spot in the show! And he gets it, replacing Harry with his own magic and escape act, and throwing the two magicians into a battle to make it in the world of showbiz. It's all part of "Harry the Great," an original theater production that recently debuted in Colorado, and the whole story is in the current issue of MAGIC Magazine.

This month, we also feature a profile of Alana from Germany, a look back at Houdini's movies, an update on Wayne Houchin, the shocking reappearance of Bob Markwood, and New Year's resolutions from 30 name magicians, plus columns by Joshua Jay, Mark Kornhauser, Ian Rowland, Joanie Spina, Mike Bent, Payne, Milt Larsen, Cory Haines, and Rick Lax.

On cover is Danny Cole, who started gaining attention as a teenage magician from Southern California, but today performs all over the world. And he has turned his talents toward creating unique magic effects for Internet viewers. To date, he's released ten of these short videos - and we've got 'em all on MAGIC Plus. Danny has also given us an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at his most recent head-scratcher!

7. Remarkable Magic #285 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)

50 years of Magic Castle and Counting. Part One.

January 2nd 2013 is a very special day in Los Angeles and for magic lovers around the world. There are birthday parties and there are birthday parties, but when the Magic Castle hits the half-century mark we really have something to celebrate about. While it is obviously inaccurate to describe the Castle as the Impossible Dream---it is only realistic to call it the Improbable Dream.

The Larsen family dream has become a glorious reality and only foolish money would bet on it not being around for another fifty years. Ever since I joined the Castle in 1974 there have been problems and potential disasters that threatened its future. Somehow this quirky clubhouse keeps right on ticking along. Viva La Castle!

I wonder how many magicians have enjoyed seven-day engagements at the Castle since its doors first opened? How many cards have been selected and found? How many visiting guest decided to dedicate their time and attention to become magicians themselves? There are many facts and figures that I would love to be able to quote in this column but I don't think you could even guess at the answers.

Let me give a personal testimony. When I arrived in Los Angeles in January 1974 as a full-time but rookie magician, it was the Castle that allowed me to become a fully-fledged and self-sufficient performer. I practiced and began to perfect my craft in its showrooms. There are two kinds of magicians in the world; those who have played the Castle and those who want to.

What a great party we will enjoy on the 2nd of January Founders Day Party, free booze, free food and a bunch of my favorite magicians all in one place! There is a cocktail party from 4:30 pm till 6:30 pm and then the Proclamation by the City and Presentation hosted by our very own Steve Valentine.

The turnout is anticipated to be large enough to extend these activities for two more days, with events on the 3rd and 4th of January. A special booking in the Palace of Mystery features Milt Larsen and his niece Liberty Larsen all week and an all too rare Palace booking on January 6th by Goldfinger and Dove. In fact we will be kicking of an entire years worth of celebrations at the Castle, and I will be keeping you up to date on the events as they are announced.

In perfect timing with the 50th year celebrations is the publishing of Milt Larsen's new book 'My Magical Journey: The First 30,000 Days.' It is a delightful account of the life of the Castle's co-founder and resident carpenter/creator. Next week I will be writing a full-scale review of this delightful book. I started reading it at 2:00am in morning after Milt gave me a copy during a Castle visit, and couldn't go to sleep until I had finished my first reading of it.

If you think the last paragraph constitutes a spoiler about what I thought of the book you would be absolutely right! It is a wonderful read that allows you to explore the life of one of the most influential men in magic. I have been proud to know Milt for 39 years and was very pleased to have a book that connected up so many dots in his extraordinary life.You can check out my product line, order items and check out cool videos on my website. I have been receiving rave reviews for my 'Ultimate Linking Finger Ring Routine' and 'Cruise Magic 101.'

11. Jay Scott Berry - The Terra Maya Tour 2013
--------------------------------------------
Message by Jay Scott Berry

10 countries in 10 weeks, 70 shows in 70 days - At the World's Premiere Magic Venues.

He is counted among the world's finest master magicians, equally adept, whether close-up or stage. This is no accident. As a young man, Jay Scott Berry made a commitment to excellence, to elegance, to originality and to artistry. For over 30 years, he has maintained an unwavering focus on those ideals. Along the way, he has performed thousands of shows, sharing joy and wonder with millions around the globe. In doing so, he has left an indelible impression upon the Art and upon his peers within the Art. He is an inspiration to many fellow magicians, who credit him with a whole new understanding of magic and it's potential. Original effects, gimmicks and ideas, that Jay pioneered, are now being used by magicians the world over.

"In my entire career, I have never seen anything as convincing. It was real magic, delivered with precision timing and consummate skill." - Mark Wilson, Grandmaster magician

And so, it comes as no surprise that Berry remains relentless in his pursuit of sheer excellence; As driven as ever, continuing to push the frontiers of the Art of Magic. With a style all his own, it is often said that his presentations are "As close to real magic as you will ever see." Still, Jay Scott Berry remains an enigma, as only a wizard should. Characteristically philosophical, he suggests that, "The Magic is Ancient, The Wonder is Timeless. We are the custodians of both. We are the weavers of the fabric of Imagination."
"You've got to see this guy, he's a Great Magician!" - Donald Trump

And so it is with genuine excitement that Berry will launch his 2013 world tour on January 21st at Hollywood's famed Magic Castle. It was within these hallowed halls, many years ago, that his professional career began as the youngest magician to ever perform at this most prestigious of venues. This set a precedent that remains to this day, with Berry having paved the way for countless other young magicians. The following year, he was selected to represent the Castle and the United States at the 1982 FISM World Magic Congress in Lausanne, Switzerland.
"What a perfect act!" - Milt Larsen, founder of The Magic Castle

From this auspicious start, the tour is packed with noteworthy national and international dates. These include: The California Magic Theater, The All American Magic Theater, The Redondo Beach Castle, The South Street Magic Theater, The Magic Jewell Theater, The Magic Art Centre in Holland and The Magic Circle in London. Jay will also give a command performance at the San Diego Marriot for the Spiritual Awakening Conference. His last appearance for this elite group received no less than three full standing ovations! As if that weren't enough, Berry will go on to star at the world's largest annual gathering of magicians, The Blackpool Convention in England. From there, he will fly on to Germany, Belgium and Scandinavia where he will headline the Swedish Magic Championships!
"Jay stands alongside the all-time greats; in the same league as Slydini" -
Ed Rosenthall

Although primarily a performance tour, Jay will also present his new lecture at a few select venues. This is the same presentation he delivered at last year's FISM World Congress in England, where he was the only starring act from the entire southern hemisphere. In this lecture, Jay will perform and teach many new effects including the mind-bending routine, "A Question of Destiny", the pure, sleight-of-hand coin routine, "Foiled Again", "Solo Silk and Rope", "Spec-ta-cular", The "Zip-it", his brand new Topit design and more!
"Impeccable magic, absolutely wondrous!" - Channing Pollock, Grandmaster
magician

Carefully tailored to appeal to beginner or expert alike, Jay will also feature many of his signature effects and gimmicks, including The Eclipse Tip, The Cloaking Device, The Ring and Ribbon and the FS/2 Gimmick, all with the most recent improvements and up-to-date methods."A true visionary. A man who has gone beyond the boundaries. There are only a handful of magicians who are masters of the art. This man is one of them. Do whatever you have to do to get to one of his lectures shows!" - Anthony Brook, International Deputy - The Society of American Magicians

And so the road goes every onwards and upwards. Berry is already booking the 2nd half of the Terra Maya tour, which begins in June. For more information, please visit:

Unexpectedly magician Rudy Coby has had to step back from our lineup, but he
will be replaced by another Superstar of Magic - Christopher Hart!

Christopher Hart, is known as "The man with the movie star hand", and for good reason. His right hand has been seen in numerous films, commercials, and television specials. Most notably in the cult horror movie Idol Hands and as the "Thing", the loveable disembodied hand in three Addams Family films. In the magic world Mr. Hart has traveled to almost every country making appearances on television specials, casino showrooms, European gala shows, and live touring shows.

He started in the Magic Castle junior program at the age of 16 and quickly moved to working for David Copperfield on the road. After his youth Mr. Hart became an advisor for Copperfield's television specials, live shows, and was a key creator for the Great Wall of China special. His sleight of hand and fast fingers have earned him the coveted "Silver Lions Head" award from Las Vegas stars Siegfried and Roy, top prize at the "Grand Prix Monique" held in Monte Carlo awarded by Princess Stephanie of Monaco, and is also the recipient of being honored twice with the Hollywood Magic Castle's 'Stage Magician of the Year' award.

He has been the cover story on Magic Magazine, a regular act for "Masters of Illusion LIVE", Murray Hatfield and Teresa's' Canadian tour, and now you will see him here - at Magic At the Beach. Christopher Hart will be closing the cabaret show and appearing in the Champions of Magic show.

16. Australian Ventriloquist Clifford Guest
--------------------------------------------
Message by Walter Blaney (US)

One of my best friends in show business over the years was Australian ventriloquist Clifford Guest. We did many a show together on bills all over the world. Cliff did some things quite different from most vents, which set him apart from others.

Our favorite engagement together was when we got to open for Bob Hope two nights at the huge Shriner Auditorium in Las Angeles (which seats 5000, where most Oscar Award Nights occur). It was a thrill for Cliff and me, both big fans of Bob Hope. Bob was as nice a man as one would ever hope to meet. We had a blast backstage, and on stage Bob Hope was the master.

I hope you enjoy seeing a bit of Clifford Guest's great talent. Cheers, Walter.

20. 12th Magical Convention of Saint-Vincent! - Italy
--------------------------------------------
Message by Marzia Giacoia (Italy)

Dear Friends,

The holidays are upon us and Masters of Magic wants to give its personal wishes for the best New Year. May 2013 be even stronger, warm and magical than past years! Survivors of the Mayan prophecy, we have the great honor to announce that from 11 to 14 April 2013 will be held the 12th edition of the Magical Convention of Saint-Vincent! We have waited until now to make the announcement to be sure that the Convention could come back home to the Grand Hotel Billia, now fully restored and even more beautiful and welcoming.

As soon as we have received the assurance, we started organizing a convention that promises already to be legendary with: Luis De Matos, Marko Karvo, Luke Jermay, Woody Aaragon, Jason England, Topas, Paul Wilson and many more artists that you will soon discover, with a major change from the previous edition:

In 2012, 1,500 delegates have witnessed the quality and excellence of Masters of Magic in the organization of unique and unforgettable Magical Conventions: at the end of this path, after having shown the magic community worldwide we can to create the best possible FISM, we have been awarded the organization of the World Championship of Magic to be held in Rimini in 2015.Now it's time to get back to basics. The Saint-Vincent Convention, regaining its original location, returns as a personal event, intimate and with more attention to You, the real protagonist of the Convention.

To achieve this, it is essential to make it exclusive. The number of participants will decrease from 1500 to 599: we have established a fixed number of places, beyond which we will no longer accept entries. 599 participants, each one with the best place, the most efficient services and the attention of the team dedicated to You. Each one of You special, each one satisfied. The restricted number of places is synonymous with quality also for magic dealers: we have, in fact, decided to impose selection rules for the dealers at Saint-Vincent, so that they can be varied in regards to the type of items sold and selected according to a strict anti-counterfeiting protocol.

And now let's find out in detail the four most exciting magical days the in the world, with the greatest names in the magical world and an AMAZING surprise coming!

1 - Luis De Matos, Woody Aragon, Luke Jermay, Jason England, Topas, Paul Wilson: in the firmament of Saint-Vincent, come the stars of the magic
world!

2 - The Magic Convention of Saint-Vincent returns to the Grand Hotel Billia: Back to Home!

3 - Rates: register by January 31 to take advantage of discounted Rates!

4 - Preview of Saint-Vincent's Program

1 - The Artists: We are ready to announce that in Saint-Vincent you will have the honour of meeting:

Luis De Matos - a genuine prodigy and a revolutionary of the magic world

Marko Karvo - the champion of magic FISM 2012
Luke Jermay - one of the most original, mysterious and fascinating mentalists in the world
Jason England - absolute genius of gambling, consultant to many of the greatest professional card players
Paul Wilson - the "magical face" of BBC, a consultant for The illusionists and one of the world's leading experts of card magic.
Ernesto Planas - back from his world tour will present his latest creation
Francesco Scimemi - showman and undisputed ruler of the crazy nights of Saint-Vincent
The Great Jabba - with a show that you will hardly forget

Back to Saint-Vincent by popular demand... Topas, who this year will showcase the original and unique illusions of his repertoire.

And this is only the aperitif! Soon we will announce other artists and other surprises.
