3. Broken Wand - Ricky Jay
--------------------------------------------
Message by Gary Meyer

One of the greats has passed on at only 72 years old. Ricky Jay was an amazing magician, scholar, writer and collector who I was lucky enough to have seen perform and lecture and spend some time talking with.

He consulted on films and TV shows and acted in them, most recently making an impression in Deadwood.

Early partial obits have started to appear and they will likely be lengthened by Sunday.

Variety

Ricky Jay, Master Magician and Actor in 'Deadwood,' 'Boogie Nights,' Dies at 72

Ricky Jay, a master magician who also acted in films and TV shows such as "Boogie Nights," "House of Games" and "Deadwood," died Saturday in Los Angeles. He was 72.

Jay's manager, Winston Simone, said he died of natural causes, adding, "He was one of a kind. We will never see the likes of him again."

His attorney Stan Coleman confirmed his death. His partner in the Deceptive Practices company, Michael Weber, tweeted, "I am sorry to share that my remarkable friend, teacher, collaborator and co-conspirator is gone."

A New Yorker profile called him "the most gifted sleight of hand artist alive," and Jay was also known for his card tricks and memory feats.

He appeared in several David Mamet movies, including "House of Games," "The Spanish Prisoner," "Things Change," "Redbelt" and "State and Main."

Steve Martin, with whom he appeared in "The Spanish Prisoner," described Jay in the New Yorker profile, "I sort of think of Ricky as the intellectual élite of magicians. He's expertly able to perform and yet he knows the theory, history, literature of the field."

In "Deadwood," he played card sharp Eddie Sawyer during the first season, and also wrote for the show.

In the 1997 James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies," Jay played a cyber-terrorist to Pierce Brosnan's Bond.

He also provided the narration for movies such as Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia." His one-man Broadway show directed by Mamet, "Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants," was recorded for an HBO special in 1996.

With Weber, he created the Deceptive Practices company, which provided solutions to movies and TV productions such as the wheelchair that hid Gary Sinise's legs in "Forrest Gump." They also worked on films including "The Prestige," "The Illusionist" and "Oceans Thirteen."

Jay, who was born Richard Jay Potash in Brooklyn, was introduced to magic by his grandfather. He began performing in New York, opening for rock bands. Jay first worked in film with on Caleb Deschanel's "The Escape Artist."

A documentary about his life, "Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay," was released in 2012.

A student of all facets of magic, prestidigitation and trickery, he maintained a large library of historic works and wrote two books, as well as numerous articles for the New Yorker; he also frequently lectured at museums and universities.

5. Whos Who In Magic - Ricky Jay
--------------------------------------------
Published with the permission of Chris Wasshuber from Who's Who in Magic

Jay, Ricky (Brooklyn, New York: 1948- ) Stage & pen name of R. J[ay] "Ricky" Potash. Inspired by and learned from grandfather Max Katz at age 4. TV debut at age 7. Pro originally as Ricky Potash, then as "Tricky Ricky" &, finally, "Ricky Jay". Won IBM junior competition c1960. Early pet effects: Dancing Cane & Card Throwing, now mainly card sleights. Set world record card throw of 135 feet on 4 Nov 1976 (Guinness Book of Records 1980 [London ed only]). This was beaten in 1977 by layman Tommy Jackson (166') & again in 1979 by magician Kevin St. Onge (185' 1"), the still (1990) current record.

Thus Jay's claim in 1986 to having thrown cards "higher, harder, faster, and further than anyone in history" was no longer true. Note also that T.A. Waters' claim (1988, p.61) that Jay's "current record distance throw is 190 feet, 6 inches" was withdrawn from the 1989 paperbound edition. 1984 Blackstone Jr Award. Curator of the Mulholland Collection of Conjuring and the Allied Arts in Los Angeles, 1985-1990, when the collection was seized by the U.S. Government.

Partner with Michael Weber in "Deceptive Practices" consulting firm 1993-present. Played his "Ricky Jay & His 52 Assistants" show in New York City in 1994, Chicago in 1995, & Hollywood in 1996. Technical adviser on several movies, including The Escape Artist (1982), Leap of Faith (1992), Wolf (1994), Forrest Gump (1994 for which he designed the gaffed wheelchair), & I Love Trouble1994; and supporting roles in David Mamet movies such as House of Games (1987, as a con artist).

Wrote Cards as Weapons (1977); Learned Pigs & Fireproof Women (1986, 343pp; repr London: 1987, 358pp) with German tr as Sauschlau & Feuerfest (1988); & Many Mysteries Unraveled; or Conjuring Literature in America, 1786-1874 (1990, 48pp).

6. S.A.M.'s M-U-M Preview For December
--------------------------------------------
Message by Lindsay Smith (US)

Billy Kidd peeks from the cover of the December M-U-M, hinting at more playfulness inside in her feature story, "From Actor to Street Performer, Magician, and Monkey Wrangler," craftily written by Chloe Olewitz. If you're looking for positive examples of ambition, commitment, creativity, and a passion for play, look no further than Billy Kidd's article. It's a key part of a wonderful wrap-up of Alan Howard's first year as editor of M-U-M.

"It's all about the gather." That's how Billy starts her own article "On Street Magic," a two-page treasure of tips and techniques on performing street magic based on years of experience and literally thousands of performances. She learned from one of the best: Gazzo.

In his "From the President's Desk" column, SAM National President Ron Ishimaru provides further insight into the Hawaiian language; introduces us to a new member benefit, the Video Instruction Program (VIP); highlights several deserving members; and recognizes those behind the curtain of the VIP.

Dean George Schindler treats us to a routine from his kid show from years ago in "The Dean's Diary." After his opening, he brings a kid onstage, gets his name, and asks "Where's your hat?" The fun escalates from there. More kids, more hats, more magic.

Most well-posted magicians know that Houdini launched a personal crusade against phony mediums and so-called psychics. Many may not know the name Rose Mackenberg. In his "Magical Masterpieces & More" column, David Haversat shares a letter from Rose to Houdini that's part of his collection, and explains how she became part of his advance team, gathering information on fraudulent spiritualists.

Once you have a great show and found the perfect venue, the question becomes: How do you get people in the seats? That's the theme of this month's real-world marketing advice in the "No Smoke, No Mirrors" column by David Corsaro. There are several approaches to the problem, and David takes you through them.

Before you take the stage with your show, it would be good to follow the advice from Brian Lees in his column, "Taking the Stage." Before he takes the stage, he's prepared with spare parts. When you think you don't need them is when you'll need them. Don't be caught unprepared in the middle of your show. Brian shows you how to avoid that embarrassing moment with a good supply of spare parts.

Speaking of taking advice, if you're going to perform on a convention show when David Seebach is in the audience - and even if he's not - take the advice he offers in "Illusions of Grandeur," based on his observations after attending Abbott's 81st annual Magic Get-Together. He offers excellent suggestions on what to do and what to avoid. The remainder of his column features his appraisal of Abbott's Chinese Idol illusion, based on his experience with using it in his shows. If your budget allows, check this out.

If you're going to be interviewed on television, congratulations. The experience will give your business great exposure, and help you visually connect with your audience. But take the advice (is there a pattern here?) of Cinde and Dal Sanders and know there's more to do than just showing up. This experienced team provides dozens of tips and techniques for this important interview in their "TV or Not TV" column.

Paul Draper's "On Second Thought" column focuses on psychometry and, in the spirit of the season, offers a fun mentalism effect that he's enjoyed using in his shows during this time of the year. Even better, he includes six great methods for accomplishing the effect.

Mentalism for children? A number of kid-show performers do it, and "Magic in a Bottle" columnist Kien Meng Wee has joined that group. Yes, it works. This month he offers his Christmas variation of Bank Night for children, a routine he calls Gifts for Everyone.

One book, five tricks, two DVDs, all reviewed by four knowledgeable magicians. That about sums up this month's "Shop Talk" column except for one important thing. You need to read their reviews to see if you agree with their evaluations before you make a buying decision.

Bruce Kalver, M-U-M's "Tech Tricks" columnist and SAM's website guru, devotes his column to one free downloadable app that lets you preview videos of 20 apps, available individually or as a package. He highlights two of the 20 this month, and promises three more favorites next month. You can tell Bruce likes this package.

Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do. In Norman Beck's "Thoughts on Thinking" column, he relates a story about a friend of a friend who illustrates his point about why you should write, or speak, to express rather than impress. Norman believes that simple words used to describe complex thoughts make the most sense. He's right. Read it and see if you agree.

In addition to these features and regular columnists, there's much more. Editor Alan Howard covers a lot of ground, sans segues, in his "Preshow" column. As Alan points out, there are 22 pages of "Assembly Reports" with dozens of ideas to perk up your next assembly meeting. You'll also find the "Good Cheer List," "Broken Wands," "Magic WORDoodles," a "Friendly Neighborhood" puzzle, and the longest running column in the magazine, the popular "Basil the Baffling and Chloe" cartoon strip by Alan Wassilak. Our advertisers would appreciate knowing that you saw their ad in M-U-M. Best wishes for a Happy Holiday season from the staff and columnists of M-U-M.

8. Homage To Vernon - John Carey #24
--------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
https://carey-scene.com/jc-main

Here is my handling of Dai Vernon's Two Thirteen trick from the Vernon Chronicles volume one. I wanted an approach with as little extraneous handling as possible.

Take out the Ace, two and three of Diamonds and deal them into a face-up row on the table, Ace on your left, two in the middle and three on your right. Have the deck shuffled and upon return have a card freely selected and when it is returned control it to the top via a favourite method. Have your helper turn the three tabled cards face down.

"Gary, life is all about decisions. One decision can affect another decision. You have a very simple decision today. Simply call out Ace, two or three."

Let's say your spectator says the three. Pick the three up and hold it face-down at the right fingertips. Use this card to flip the two of Diamonds face-up. Mention they could have said this card. Both hands approach each other and you execute a top change, secretly exchanging the card in hand for their selected card. With absolutely no hesitation the left hand moves towards the remaining Ace of Diamonds and turns it face-up. Drop the switched in selection face-down on top of this card and then pick up the two of Diamonds and drop it face-up on top of all, forming a sandwich. Casually set the deck aside.

Ask your helper to cover the sandwich with either hand. Make the moment and then have them lift their hand and turn over the face-down card in the sandwich, to reveal the transformation into their selection.

What's nice here is that the handling is the same, whichever of the three tabled cards is nominated.

9. The Magic Word Podcast - MagiCuba

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

Michael Kaminskas, MagiCuba and Michael Campion on The Magic Word Podcast

This has been a busy month of travel both nationally and internationally which has precluded me from updating you on the recent episode of The Magic Word. For those of you who subscribe to the podcast and/or newsletter (thank you), you have already listened to some of the recent episodes this month. But for those of you who haven't subscribed (and what's taking you so long?), then you should know about the recent episodes that will be of interest to you.

Earlier this month we released an episode with Michael Kaminskas, corporate magician, who recently completed a nationwide tour of the U.S. with some commercial magic. But more to the point, Michael is the King of Cups. He makes his own cup and ball sets and chop cups, too. In this podcast, Michael explains what goes into making cups and what separates one type of cup from another. This is an educational episode that I'm certain you'll learn from if stick all the way through. You can access this podcast through the website through this direct link:

https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/457-michael-kaminskas

I scheduled that episode to be broadcast while I was out of the country attending MagiCuba in Havana, Cuba. This mysterious country opened its doors to U.S. magicians as part of a cultural exchange with their county in an effort to display magic for the local citizens. We performed in theaters, nightclubs, on the street, in bars, and even in a brewery. We met with local Cuban magicians and personally I was impressed with the quality of magic and their skill sets given that they have little access to magic instruction due to the limited internet accessibility and their low annual income.

MagiCuba was not a convention in the "conventional" sense of the word. There were no dealers, no lecture sales, and no contests, but the meals and drinks were all included in the registration price. But there was plenty of magic and instruction from the likes of Mac King, Michael Caveney, Chris Korn, Eric Mead, Michael Goudeau, Asi Wind, Jade, Dave Cox, John Archer, Jorge Blass, Norbert Ferrer, and more. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of the U.S. attendees which, by the way, only numbered about 150 of which only 30 were magicians. The rest were friends and families who saw this as a one-time opportunity to travel to this "mysterious" land.

Because of limited access to the internet and the jam-packed schedule, I was unable to post daily updates; however, I did record daily episodes that were posted when I returned to the U.S. The first episode was unnumbered because it was not so much of a "magic podcast" as it was a travelogue of my arrival into Havana. For those contemplating travel there, you might enjoy that episode. The next five episodes are daily updates.

Day Five: https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/462-magicuba-2018-day-five

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday last Thursday in the U.S. and the massive upload of podcasts from Cuba for people to digest with their turkey, there was no podcast posted on Thursday November 22nd. That gets us caught up to date with this week's offering.

This week we visit with a young (16 year old) television celebrity who has a passion for magic. Michael Campion is one of the stars on the Netflix series "Fuller House", now into its fifth season. "Fuller House" is a reboot of the 1980's popular TV show in the U.S., "Full House". There are several other podcasts online where you can hear him talk about his career, but this week's episode focuses strictly on magic and his interest in the art, joining the Magic Castle Junior's group, his work on trying to work magic into the episodes, his advice to other youth interested in magic, and more. You can see some photos of Michael Campion plus hear the podcast at:

https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/463-michael-campion

Be sure to sign up for our weekly newsletter so you won't be out of the loop in what's going on with each week's podcast. Plus you will learn who is coming up the following week. And as you get into the holiday gift giving season, be sure to use the link at the bottom of each page of our website to access your Amazon.com account.

This is a topic I thought I would write about this week as it is something I have learned and trained myself to do but never realized the sheer power of it in not only the way I conduct and handle my magic, but in all realms of how I live my life. I thought it would make for an
interesting discussion so if you would allow me to, I would like to dive into it a bit closer.

Learn to listen? Sounds silly doesn't it? But do we really listen? Do we honestly listen to people, prospects or clients as much as we should be? If you are honest with yourself, the answer is probably "no we really don't". None of us listen as much as we should. We have gotten so much
into the habit of art of doing and acting that we have failed to learn or relearn the art of listening.

We have forgotten the art of listening but we should strive to relearn it and apply it every day. Why? Because listening is a magnetic and strange thing that can work as a creative force. When you learn to listen, you become more aware. This awareness allows you to see things
you may have overlooked so many times before. Listening is an art that when done well delivers tremendous benefits for not only your magic but for the relationships you try and build with
everyone you deal with every day. The goal of listening well is to achieve effective communication.

Effective communication not only fosters understanding, affirmation, validation and appreciation, but it also creates an atmosphere of trust, honor and respect. When someone truly listens to you, don't you feel special? The obvious answer is yes. When you are listened to, you feel respected and by listening you are showing that respect back.

So how does this apply to your magic? Well, too many magicians sell all the time. Now be honest here. How many of you can say that the minute the phone rings and it is a potential client you immediately go into the selling mode and never even stop to breathe. I am hoping a lot of you can admit to yourself that this happens and happens way too often.
That is fine, as that is just the way we have trained ourselves to be in this age of information.

I am not saying you should not sell your show, certainly you must be part salesman or woman. But we must learn to stop for a second and refrain ourselves from overselling. We must not just constantly sell to a point that the person feels you are not even listening to them. Remembering to listen shows respect and to gain respect you must show it first.

If we are to really be a solutions provider or if we are to really provide a service to our prospects or clients, then how can we do this if we do not take the time out to know what it is they really need?

How do you do this? Simple.. We listen to them. Easy concept huh? But it is easier said than done. How many times do you really feel like listening to a client? It is hard because you are not used to doing it. In most cases they are lucky if they get 2 sentences in before the call is over.

You must train yourself to listen to them. Train yourself to slow down and hear them out. If you are to solve your magic client's needs, then you must learn what those needs are. Listen to them.

How can you get them to start talking? Simple. We use the power of ASKING THEM. People simply forget to ask these days, but it is that simple. The art of asking is a powerful thing and when combined with listening can change your entire outlook and can change the way your
clients perceive you.

For example you could possibly say something like, "Wow your event sounds fascinating to me, and can you tell me more about it? It seems like you must have a lot to do to make this year's event even better than before."

This is a simple phrase but it is not me selling to them at all. It is me being kind to them, showing I care about them and it is me building a relationship with them. It also is a key to get them talking about their event. IT WORKS!!! They will start talking if you show them the respect and listen to what they are saying.

In most cases, they are so relieved to hear someone who actually cares about all they are going through, that they will unload it with you. LET THIS HAPPEN!!

This is your time to listen to them. They will share precious information with you without them even realizing they are doing it. This is when I lock in on the problems they have and for me to think of ways I can solve the problems I am hearing them talk about.

Now if I can come back to them with a solution to one of their needs, then I soon have value. This value makes me NOT a product but it makes me a person they will come back to time and again because I can help solve their needs.

It may also be the very first time any entertainer has even asked them about what they do or asked them to talk about what they are trying to achieve. I find that the more I listen and train myself to listen, the more respect I gain from these people. I try and build relationships
with everyone I know. I do this because for me it is always more than me just performing my magic show. I want to really make sure I deliver exactly the solution that best fits them. Each client is different and they all have different needs and wants. The more I train myself to listen, the more value I have in their eyes.

Try it. Try to simply listen next time someone talks to you or a prospect calls you on the phone. Get your prospect to talk to you and open up and it will make a huge difference on your bookings and especially on repeat bookings in the future.

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.
