2. The April Issue Of Genii Is Out!
--------------------------------------------
Message by Richard Kaufman (US)

You can subscribe to Genii for as little as $35 for a digital subscription and access all 80 years of Genii, over 800 issues, and shortly all 25 years of MAGIC magazine as well.
Mike Pisciotta graces the cover of Genii in April. For almost six years, Mike has been both the mixmaster and close-up magician from Thursday through Sunday at the Hat and Hare Pub in The Magic Castle, building a reputation for his smooth intelligent magic and customer-pleasing demeanor.

Martin Eisele has developed a fascinating product called Vision. It's an app for your cellphone that's a tool. It "sees" a shuffled deck which has been spread face up on the table and can deduce all sorts of interesting information, including whether any cards have been removed and exactly which cards they are. You can read all about it in Genii's April issue.
April also welcomes Alexander de Cova to Genii, joining our many fine contributors with his bi-monthly column "Notizen." Alexander is extremely well-known throughout Europe and the U.K., but less so in the U.S. We're going to change that, starting with this month's effect. It's creative in the extreme and devilish because the cards are freely chosen.

* There's a dandy effect by Jeff Prace in his column "Left-Handed," where a bit of origami is performed with a piece of paper wrapped inside a dollar bill, and then …

* Bob Read gets stuck in the roundabout of airport hell while trying to visit Ken Klosterman in Cincinnati in "Hidden Treasures".

* A set of props I've never seen before appears this month in John Gaughan's "Chamber of Secrets"-a century-old set of nesting candle-lit lanterns.

* Have you always wanted to perform that miracle of mentalism, the Chair Test? A row of chairs are onstage and a spectator freely sits in one of them, and that chair has a sign on the back saying "You will sit in this chair". It was a staple of David Berglas's show. This month in "Conjuring" Jim Steinmeyer explains his own clever version.

* David Kaye knows more about the brains of kids than adults, which is just right considering his status as a children's entertainer. This month in "The Expert at the Kids' Table", he delves into exactly what children know and precisely when - something parents should know as well!

* Jonathan Pendragon delves into the harmony between magician and assistant in "Panmagium".

* Todd Karr dishes up the latest bits o' news in "The Eye"; Jon Racherbaumer dishes on some interesting books in "On the Slant"; and Brad Henderson takes his first turn at tricks, David Britland reviews books, and Ryan Matney views videos, all in "Light from the Lamp".

3. The Genii Convention
--------------------------------------------
Message by Richard Kaufman (US)

I have been receiving inquiries from many people confused by notices of a "GeniiCon" convention listed in the Magic New Zealand newsletter. Genii magazine, and The Genii Convention, are in no way connected with any convention calling itself "GeniiCon."

Note from Magic New Zealand Editor:
GeniiCon is a convention to be held in Sydney, Australia in June 2018.

4. The Magic Word Podcast - Dr. Tim Moore, Magic Collector
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

While in Columbus, Ohio for the recent MagiFest, I had the opportunity to spend time talking with Dr. Tim Moore, one of the foremost authorities on the Herrmann family. He is a noted collector of magic and lives in Columbus, not too far from another noted collector, Ken Klosterman. In this week's podcast, Tim chats about collecting, how he got into it, suggestions for those who want to collect, his personal collection and what he plans to do with it when he leaves this planet. Later that evening following our chat, I had a chance to visit his home and collection and take a few photographs.

You can read the blog, see some photos of his collection, listen to the podcast and download the MP3 file at:

6. Emotional Response - #480 - Kyle Peron

There is something I talk often about in magic when it comes to creativity in the magic that we do. I call it emotional response. It is a "layer" that can be used in any magic act or show to really connect with your audience on a totally different level and helps to bring the audience closer to you and you to them.

Emotional Response: This is a HUGE one and can work so wonderful if done well. If done right it can make your audience connect with you long after you have left the stage. It is causing an emotional response in your audiences by allowing them to connect and relate to your character and the predicament presented on the stage. It can also work closely in with the theme you are presenting.

Every person in your audience has experienced something in common. What is common to us all is emotions. We have all felt fear, love, confusion and happiness. These are common to every person no matter who you are performing for. So, if you can connect with them on one or more of these emotions, you can get that audience member to really relate to you because they are remembering a similar situation when they too had that exact same emotion or situation happen to them. They can relate.

For example, your act could be all about this guy at night who is just trying to reach a bus to get home. It is late and he misses his bus and the entire world seems to be passing him buy. He sits on a bench to wait for the next bus and turns on his radio. He drifts off to sleep only to awake moments later. He realizes that magic starts happening to him even though he does not know exactly why it is. Throughout the act the magic that happens to him causes him to smile and to realize that life is full of wonder even if we may not always see it.

Now this is just a very vague example but you can see how the entire act could be a routine but now you are relating to them a story of a very well-defined character with a well-defined theme. You give them an emotional response to the act because most can relate to being in a similar situation in their own life. They can relate to being alone, being scared or not knowing what to do in their lives. They start to relate to the character you are presenting. In this way they relate better to what you are doing on stage.

Now sometimes emotional response can also be called a "personality piece" as they are both very similar in structure and purpose. Both are pieces of magic that are performed for your audience that really plays upon an emotional response from them. This is done so that it really allows the audience to see that you are human and you share the same things they share, have the same desires, the same worries and experiences. This personality piece can be a very strong piece in your show because it really gets the audience on your side and if there still is any barrier between you and them, this is sure to knock it down.

The personality piece can be anything, but it usually stems from something that the audience can relate to. It usually is something that everyone in your audience may have experienced at some point in their own life. Because of this, they can relate to you and to your magic that you are sharing with them. I have several personality pieces that I have created over the years and use in various shows that I do.

However, be cautious of just when in your show you use a personality piece or emotional response. You must not do it too early in the show. The audience is not ready for it yet. You must first establish your skills, let them see who you are, welcome them, build that trust and only when that has happened should you place in your personality piece.

This subject of emotional response and personality pieces is something I have been studying and applying with my magic for a few years now. It really has helped me connect with my audience on a new level and to really bring them in closer to the entire experience of the magic I present.

Also, part of it derived from a simple happy accident. See as a child I learned I was losing my hearing and by age 14 or so I realized I would never hear normal ever again. By the time I was in my 20's I was over 60% deaf in both ears. I now wear hearing aids and even though it does help me a great deal, I will never ever hear 100% again.

Many people so long ago never ever thought I would be able to do magic. Many times, I heard that you will not be able to do it the way you want to do it because you will never hear the sounds you need to hear or your audience helpers. I never gave up though. Even though I was told this many times I was determined to be a magician. It was not something I wanted to do it was something I HAD to do.

Well now that I have reached my dreams, I felt that I needed to share part of this story... MY STORY... with the audiences I perform for. With this in mind about 5 years ago I developed a personality piece that deals with this on a magical and emotional level. It is in a sense a routine that I perform at every show I do and even though it is simplistic in nature, the story I openly share with my audiences and the magic that follows with it, opens so many eyes and hearts in a way that is very hard to describe.

I did it one show on a whim. I just felt that I needed to share a bit more of who I was and what I have been through. And ever since that first personality piece (or emotional response piece) there have been some amazing stories that people tell me after the shows about that very routine I perform in my show. I have memories of just how it has touched certain people and how to some of them, it had directly changed their lives as well. In a way a personality piece or emotional response can really work to not only add to the magical experience but to really allow your audiences to know who you are. When you do this, you can see the audience drawn more to you and the wall that stands between you and the audience does indeed crumble away.

I am not saying all emotional response acts or personality pieces need to be this way. However, I felt it important for my audience to really know who I am. I connect with the audience and through the emotions I openly share with them, they connect with me. I connect with them and the show just seems to mend.

Now emotional response does not always have to be a sad thing. Do not get me wrong. Emotional response simply means that you are conveying something on stage that through your actions and presentation conveys an emotional reaction from the audience watching. In many ways, this can indeed be joy or happiness. It can even be magic relating to something in your life that everyone else can possibly relate to.

When you sit down and think about it emotional response is nothing new at all. It is done all the time in movies and plays that you watch or go see. Why is it that you feel a certain way after a movie or after a part in a play? It is directly related to what you are seeing on stage or on the screen. Even though a trick may not be performed, magic is happening because it is affecting the way you are thinking. That is a pretty strong piece of magic if you can grab a hold of it and apply it to your magic acts or show.

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 KyleKellyMagic@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.
