Michele and I thoroughly enjoyed attending the Geniicon Convention in Sydney, Australia. This was extremely well run, and we want to acknowledge that this was organised by Sean Taylor (President of Geniis Magical Society), Peter Rodgers (Treasurer), Kent Blackmore (Secretary) with assistance from committee members Dale Sadler and Richard Lee. Tech support by Dave Everett and Dennis Norman, and website/photography/programme by Pat Taylor. A special mention to Bill Walsh and Peter Wood for their great work with Museum exhibits.

Fantastic headliners all involved in lectures/stand up galas: Christian Schenk (The Card Shark) from Germany, Paul Richards from USA (flawless close-up and standup lectures and workshop - who also successfully lectured through New Zealand). Popular Nick Kay from Melbourne Australia (sleight of hand skills); very fast paced lecture and comedy from Levent; wonderful surprise to us and one to definitely watch out for Joseph Barry (card whizz) from the UK; and Silly Billy who is played by David Kaye top New York children's entertainer. David's thought process and why and how he does his shows is top notch and we highly recommend him as a convention lecturer. He is right now successfully touring through New Zealand with his excellent lecture. Also family magic super sessions by Matt Falloon, Greg Britt and talks by Adam Mada, Sean Taylor and Beverly Unit.

A diverse plethora of talent … thanks Geniis Magical Society!

Can I say a big thanks to you and MagicNZ for the regular promotions and support for the GeniiCon weekend just finished in Sydney. We rely on people spreading the word, and in the case of GeniiCon your personal encouragement helped us reach well over our target attendance goal.

Episode 1
Last week David talked about a1952 British Ring Convention in Hastings and how a chance meeting with a writer for the popular magazine Picture Post, led to the most impossible challenge - which David accepted.

In Episode 2 he explains, with photos and video clips, the details of the challenge and how it achieved the most incredible publicity. This certainly helped to launch his 60-year career.

Episode 3, this week he recalls a life-changing event that happened on a ship to South Africa.

and

Episode 4, he talks about the first few months in Cape Town and how he had to 'persuade' an editor to allow him to place an ad for a demonstration of hypnotism.

8. S.A.M. Elects New President, Featured In July M-U-M
--------------------------------------------
Message by Lindsay Smith (US)

Aloha! That familiar greeting is from Ronald Ishimaru, the incoming president of The Society of American Magicians who takes over on July 23 at the organization's national convention in Orlando. Ronald's photo appears on the cover of the July issue of M-U-M and a feature article covering his diverse interests and activities titled "The Life and Inspirations of a Hawaiian Magician," co-authored by Kai Lee Away and Estelle Ishimaru-Wong, appears inside.

SAM membership cards issued during Ron Ishimaru's tenure as president will include a photo on the back of his mentor, Jimmy Yoshida, along with a trick based on one of his favorite phrases. Curtis Kam offers several of Jimmy's presentations in a humorous article that explains what "The Last One" really means.

Ron follows his life story with an illustrated article, "Tips of the Trade," where he offers an excellent solution to this challenge: With no table, where do you place the scissors after cutting the rope in a Cut and Restored Rope routine? He also tackles his first "From the President's Desk" column. Deadlines come quickly Ron. Just eleven more to go!

If you're going to be a first-time performer or visitor to The Magic Castle, you'll want to read "The Dean's Diary" by SAM Dean George Schindler. This month he talks about Hollywood accommodations near the Castle. It's great advice from a regular Castle performer. And every column has a story you probably haven't heard before. This month is no exception.

You're ready to perform magic for kids on TV. Everything is set, right? Wrong. As Cinde and Dal Sanders explain in their "TV or Not TV" column, "Nothing is going to work the way you think it will." They use multiple examples to support their position. You can learn this the easy way (by reading their column) or the hard way (when you show up at the TV studio).

Aspiring illusionists and those already there always look forward to David Seebach's column, "Illusions of Grandeur," for his take on the world of illusions, both classic and contemporary. This month David examines the classic Abbott's Chests of Mystery illusion. It's the Square Circle principle expanded to an illusion-proportioned "Square." He explains why you might want to take a serious look at this effective mystery and why its unique paint job is a plus.

In his "No Smoke, No Mirrors" column, David Corsaro writes about adapting to challenges that may affect your marketing plans. Your well-designed plan could be derailed by any one of a thousand reasons. David explains how to deal with various scenarios by preparing and adjusting. Loads of good advice here.

Those of you who use various gambling demonstrations to establish your "card cheating" credentials will find Antonio M. Cabral's Dealer's Choice routine in his "Cheats and Deceptions" column of considerable interest. It's not for beginners since it requires experience with riffle stacking and a decent second deal.

Performance Investment is the theme of this month's "Taking the Stage" column by Brian Lees. He opens with, "When you perform, those who hire you are making an investment." Brian asks you to look at charges from the buyer's side, adding value to your performance, connecting with the audience and more. He notes that good magicians follow a basic set of goals. He outlines these five and asks, "Would you be a good investment?"

Kien Meng Wee, a.k.a. Mr. Bottle, understands that lots of kids know how many standard tricks work these days. In this month's "Magic in a Bottle" column, he explains how he uses a subtlety in his birthday party shows to throw children off even if they know how a Dove Pan works. Here's his Magic Recipe for Candy.

"Medallion Meets Tidal Wave" by John Hostler is a cross-pollination of Al Koran's Gold Medallion and Harry Lorayne and Ken Krenzel's Tidal Wave. The card trick lovers out there seeking something different will find this of more than passing interest.

Paul Draper's "On Second Thought…" column focuses on the many variables in a mentalism act, and notes that many successful performers are elaborating on a common theme: Specificity and Intention. Paul goes on to explain one of the single most powerful premises in the mentalist's arsenal: predictions, and how to incorporate them to spice up your show.

In March, Lance Burton, Fielding West, Jim Steinmeyer, Keith West and members of Assembly 215 in Louisville, gathered for the "Thomas W. Tobin Monument Unveiling." Tobin was a brother magician who passed away in 1883 and was buried, penniless, in a pauper's grave in Louisville. It's a heart-warming tribute.

David Oliver, writing in "Life is Good," steps into the tricky (no pun intended) and sometimes show-stopping world of hecklers. If you haven't dealt with hecklers in your audience before, David assures us that eventually you will. He explains various types: The Instigator, the Fixers, the Invisibles and the Prodigy. Then there's an entirely different animal: Kid hecklers. In each case, there are things to say and things to avoid saying in these thoughts from an experienced performer who has dealt with his share of hecklers . . . and lived to write this column.

This month's "Shop Talk" reviews one important book, a five-volume DVD set, three tricks, and a Podcast with 52 episodes on a flash drive. They're all carefully evaluated by four well-posted and knowledgeable magicians to help you invest your magical dollars wisely.

Bruce Kalver returns with a trio of gadgets in his "Tech Tricks" column. Check out the DJI Osmo 2 for help with recording your own promotional videos, magical applications for your 3-D printer, and a flexible aluminum straw that makes the perfect portable appearing wand. It's the Final Straw.

David Goodsell continues to seek tidbits and treasures for his work on "The S.A.M. History Project." This month, his research includes information on "Dante, the Magician." No, it's not the Dante that first comes to mind. This Dante pre-dates Harry Jansen by 25 years.

In "Thoughts on Thinking," Norman Beck asserts that, "The only way to be a good magician . . . is to go out and do it. Thinking that getting together with your buddies every week will make you a good magician is like thinking you will be great with women when you have never talked to one." He has some other observations that you won't want to miss.

But wait! There's more. In addition to these regular features and columnists, there's Editor Alan Howard's "Preshow" column, pages of informative and idea-filled Assembly Reports from around the world, "Broken Wands," New and Reinstated Members and Anniversaries, the eagerly anticipated "Basil the Baffling and Chloe" cartoon by Alan Wassilak, "Magic WORDoodles," and "Path Puzzles" under "Diversions." Of course, our all-important advertisers can help you with your magical needs and wants. Tell them you saw their ad in M-U-M.

9. The Magic Word Podcast - Gone In 60 Seconds
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

I was surprised at how many magicians have had their magic props stolen. When I mentioned in the Facebook Page for The Magi Word (which you should "Like", by the way), there were dozens of comments from those who have had their stuff stolen or they knew someone who has lost equipment. In many cases, the losses were avoidable, but in others, well…if the crooks want something, then they are going to get it.

In this week's podcast we hear from about 15 different magicians with their cautionary tales of woe. They tell us what happened, whether or not they recovered anything, and suggestions to the rest of us on how they would have better protected their stuff. Each of these brief chats takes about five minutes and although the bottom line was the same (magic stuff was stolen), their stories are all unique, interesting and might I say…entertaining, in a strange sort of way.

You can read the blog, see photos of the contributors, listen to the podcast online, download the MP2 file and even contribute to a crowd funding project raising money for one magician who lost everything at: https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/429-gone-in-60-seconds

Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

This past week we learned about the suicides of two celebrities, Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade. But lost in the obituaries that week was the suicidal death of magician, Leeman Parker. We open this week's episode talking with Christopher Hannibal, a friend of Leeman's, and giving you the suicide hotline number in case anyone is considering it.

We then launch into a lively discussion with Will Fern, a "40-miler" who lives in New Jersey but within 40 miles of New York City and Philadelphia which encompasses a huge population and nearly unlimited source of work for a magician. Will is my favorite strolling magician because he always "brings the fun". Whenever he performs, his infectious personality and charisma charms the room and you can always hear people laughing and enjoying themselves.

In this podcast, will talks about how he "brings it" and how you can incorporate his formula into your strolling performances. He is also involved in "Magical Healing" which is an organization that brings magic into the lives of those who most desperately need it. More information at http://magicalhealing.org We also have two product reviews this week: "Pierce" by Jibrizy Taylor and "Untouched" by Ryuhei Nakamura, both products of SansMinds and available from Murphy's Magic Supplies.

You can watch a trailer of Will's DVD, "Will Fern: Bring It", see some photos, read the blog, listen to the podcast online, and download the MP3 file at: https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/428-will-fern

Geoff Williams is a funny guy. If you follow him on Facebook or Twitter, then you read his daily puns. Over the years, he has penned well over 1,000 puns. In this week's podcast, Geoff talks about how his creative writing process and why and how he uses puns in his stage act to his advantage. This podcast is a fun ride, relatively short and also contains some great advice along with a couple product reviews.

It is unfortunate that we also have to report the passing of yet another iconic figure in magic, our good friend, magician and mentalist Arthur Emerson. Art was a magic dealer, demonstrate par excel lance and a fine gentleman whose resonant and mellifluous voice cannot be duplicated. Always the dapper dresser, I rarely saw him without a coat and tie. He will be missed. Aloha, my friend.

Message by John Carey (UK)

Signed card to impossible location always plays really well and strong for the public. As my magician friends will tell you though, I am not one for folding my cards!

Here's a very direct approach sans folds. Place a paperclip over the short edge of the two Jokers and place them in your pocket. When you want to go into this piece simply take out the clipped Jokers and place them face-up on the table or even ask a helper to hold them.
Have the deck shuffled and upon return have a card selected and signed. Control it efficiently to the bottom of the deck. I always use the Hofzinser spread cull here. As you square up secure a left little-finger break above the signed selection.

"Since childhood I have always been a fan of Star Trek. As a youngster the scenes where the officers teleported from one location to another always fascinated me.

Now we all know that it's not possible for people to teleport, but with cards anything is possible!"

Make a magical gesture over the deck and then the paperclipped packet and pause. Transfer the deck to right hand overhand grip, transferring the break to the right thumb. As an in-transit action the left hand picks up the paperclipped packet from the table at the left long edge, thumb on top, fingers underneath. Ask your helper to pull off the paperclip and to table it. As they table it the right hand approaches the packet and using the left long edge of the deck flips the face-up packet face down, secretly dropping off the card (signed selection) beneath the thumb break. Table the deck. The above sleight is Jack Merlin's tip over addition.

Pull out the bottom card of the packet smoothly and flip it face-up on top. Immediately pull out the new bottom card and flip that face-up and place beneath the packet and then spread all three cards exhibiting a sandwich of two face-up cards with a card trapped in between.
To conclude the mystery, ask for the name of the selection and slowly extract the face-down card and revolve it face-up to reveal a successful pasteboard teleportation!

Version 2.0:

Let's say you have a blue deck. You will also require two red backed Jokers and a red backed force card, say three of Diamonds. Place the force card on the bottom of the deck. Put a paperclip over the two Jokers and pocket them.

Bring out the paper-clipped packet and table it face-up. Pick up the deck, swing cut and complete the cut, securing a left little-finger break beneath your odd backed force card. The right hand removes a Sharpie and hands it to your helper. Execute a dribble force and raise the face of the right-hand packet towards the spectator. Ask her to reach over and sign the face of the three of Diamonds. Lower the right hand and bring both hands together and square up, keeping a little-finger break beneath your force card. The right hand takes back the Sharpie and pockets it.

Casually double undercut the signed selection to the bottom of the deck and secure a little-finger break above it. The handling is now exactly the same as the first version. In other words, transfer the deck to right hand overhand grip, the break being taken over by the right thumb. Pick up the face-up paperclipped packet at the left long edge and ask your helper to pull off the clip. Execute the tip over addition, secretly dropping off the signed card and table the deck.

Now state that earlier today you made a prediction. Pull out the bottom stranger card and flip it face-up on top. Immediately pull out the new bottom card, flip it face-up and place it back on the bottom. Spread the packet showing an odd backed card trapped in between the Jokers. "Jack, how impressed would you be if my prediction matched your card? Well actually the truth can sometimes be stranger than that..."

Slowly extract the face-down card and turn it face-up to reveal the signed card and finish the mystery.

13. Remove The Other Chair - #491 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)

KyleKellyMagic@gmail.com
http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com

We have been having a great discussion on one of the magic forums about the chair suspension illusion and other illusions that utilize a child helper. There were several questions that came up repeatedly and I felt they were if such importance, that I wanted to share my own ideas here with you all.

When performing the chair suspension several people asked, "How do you take the heat off of the other chair?" There seemed to be many folks not doing the illusion simply because they felt the other chair had to be removed or that kids would shout out for them to remove it.

When I perform the illusion I bring a child up on stage. The very first step is to get the child relaxed and trusting me. Throwing the kid right up on the chairs (or similar illusion like Flying Carpet) and doing the illusion is asking for trouble. So what I do is to make sure the child trusts me and I do that through laughter. I want them to laugh cause when they do they relax. Also, doing this takes the heat off of the prop and onto me and the child. It becomes changing the focus.

If I came out and immediately showed the illusion and took a child and placed them on it, then the heat and focus becomes too centered on the prop itself. I like to change the focus right from the start. I first get down on the child's level by sitting on the stool I use to assist them on getting onto the illusion. Towering over them can scare the kids. The story line I use is one kids can relate to. It is talking about super heroes as all kids can relate to them.

I get the kids saying what their favorite might be. I tell them that I will tell them my favorite but it is silly and they all must promise not to laugh. Of course doing so always gets them laughing... which is what I want them to do. I tell them mine was Superman because he could fly through the air. (the patter goes on but I do not want to reveal too much here). You can see by doing this the focus is nowhere near the chairs at all. the focus is on the child and myself and what we are going to do.

But I state clearly in the patter that I never got to learn how to make people fly and I never became Superman. However, I did become a magician and as a magician I have learned to do something that sort of looks like flying. I can make a person float on the edge of these chairs. In order to do this, I need 2 things. I need magic and I need imagination. The imagination is where the child comes in. It is his or her imagination that helps me make this work.

Now notice that this is all done before ever placing the child on the chairs. You may also be wondering how this has anything to do with them not wanting the other chair removed. Well to answer your question, I am entertaining them and engaging them from the start. I am taking heat off of the prop simply by not drawing attention immediately to it. The focus becomes on the child and on me. The audience becomes so entertained by the experience I am creating that there is no reason at all to even ask for them to remove the chair.

The buildup is all leading to the point of removing the final board. I even state in the routine (prior to removing the board) "They often say imagination is called magic and magic is often called the impossible and the impossible looks a lot like this...(pause)" That is when the last board is removed.

In this fashion my routine and patter is directing them to realize this is the ending of the illusion. This is the last part of it and the great "reveal". They are directly lead to understand that this is the ending. Because I am directing them in this fashion, no one has any reason to want the other chair removed. The routine is also structured in such a way that I am engaging them at all times through patter, movement and music.

If I stand there and just do the illusion and pause for a long time (after board is removed), I am not dictating the end of the illusion. The audience has no clue what is supposed to happen because I have not told them. If this is the case, then the logical reaction becomes wanting the last chair removed because they think that is the ending and the next logical step. See my point? My routine leads them down a certain course and through my patter and actions they KNOW ahead of time what the end of the trick is. Because they know, they have no reason to go any further.

What I am not doing is standing up there and going WATCH THIS!!! This is what too many folks do. This puts heat totally on the prop and the audience has no clue what is going to happen. You are not directing their focus at all. If you do it this way (and many do) then the audience is left with wanting to comment simply because you are allowing them to. My routine focuses them and points them all in a direction I want them to go in. It is in essence "audience manipulation". I am manipulating them without them knowing it.

It is a very hard concept to fully explain and I apologize if I am not doing a good job here with it. I will do my best (as always) to answer anyone's questions about this illusion or working with children on illusions. To fully explain it one would really have to see me perform it or work with me.

I also find that if you engage the audience through an effective routine of this illusion, they become so engaged with you and with the child, that there is no time or no reason to shout out anything but to applaud you for what you are doing.

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.
