The Variety Artist with John Abrams - Weekly chats with
inspiring Performers - Apple Podcast
By
John Abrams
Description
What are the secrets of being a successful variety artist?
Making my living for the past 20 years performing, I've
figured out some things. I've also met some fascinating
and successful people. All doing what they love. I call
them "The Variety Artists".
How
did they do it? What are their successes? What were their
failures? How can we emulate what they did? You can be a
fly on the wall and listen to these interviews. Performers
learning from performers. You can learn along with me as
I delve into what makes a successful variety artist. For
more info and video courses for just about any art, go to
TheVarietyArtist.com.

We are Excited to announce...
The

Howdy
Y'all,
That's
the Texas influence in my life... I know it's past the holidays,
but Dad and Mom and I have been so busy getting this project
together for you that the whole season slipped past and
we are just now able to update you. Thank you for taking
a moment to read this.
First,
Mark and Nani Wilson are doing great. This year, Mark will
be 90, and Nani will be 29, again ... she is very proud
to be turning 88. I'll fill you in more on that later.
But
our big announcement is about the Allakazam Archives!
I've
been creating the https://AllakazamArchives.com/ for many
years now (with the help of my all "Volunteer"
team), and it's finally ready for you to explore. There's
so much to show you, we are just putting up a few sections
at a time, but there's plenty for you to see right now!
So please, check it out!!!
You
may have signed up for our Newsletters before, or been in
Mark's magic class, or maybe just a good friend. But you
have not signed up for the all new Allakazam Archives yet.

4. The Magic Word Podcast - MagiFest Convention
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star
This
year's MagiFest is expected to top previous years in attendance.
The event has been sold out since last November and the
hotel is even moving some registrants to a nearby overflow
hotel. I understand that the expected attendance of 950
is about 150 more than last year. Perhaps it is because
of the well-organized talents of Joshua Jay and Andy Gladwin
and staff. Or it could be because of the outstanding talent
including Juan Tamariz, Guy Hollingsworth, Howard Hamburg,
Yang Frisch, Eric Mead and more.
But
whatever it is, the Magic Word Podcast is there with daily
reports including conversations with the organizers, talent,
registrants and dealers. Be sure to tune in each day beginning
with Day One at:
https://TheMagicWordPodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/
470-magi-fest-day-one-update
Then tune in the next two days for more content, more conversations,
and more fun
all on the Magic Word Podcast. Check
us out and see why we are the most listened-to magic podcast
in the world.

5. The Magic Collectors Expo - Minneapolis, Minnesota USA
--------------------------------------------
Message by Lance Rich (US)
I'm excited to be a part of a magic history event and convention
this June in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. Check out The Magic
Collectors Expo this year from June 20-22. www.magiccollectorsexpo.com
I think a lot of people might think that collectors and
historians are an exclusive club.... but it's not the case.
In fact, I find the atmosphere at many of these collectors'
events a little more relaxed than at many magic conventions.
It's true, you'll find people at these events that have
world class and world-renowned magic collections... but
it's as commonplace (or more) to meet people whose collection
fills not much more than a bookshelf. (My own collection
of ephemera is much closer to the latter, but I've loved
attending these events and learning (and maybe buying a
new piece or two). And there are those who simply 'collect
stories.' There will be many stories told over the course
of the few days of the Expo in June.
The Magic Collectors Expo is being produced by David Sandy
and Bill Smith. You'll see and hear fascinating presentations
about magic's history, experience an expanded dealer room,
several surprise events are planned
and the event ends
in a recreation of a supper club show
dinner and magic
as you might have seen it in the 1940's and 1950's.
The event is limited to 200 registrants but there's a special
kicker
by registering for the Minneapolis convention
you can guarantee a spot at the 2020 Expo in Las Vegas -
which will feature an exclusive tour of David Copperfield's
International Museum and Library for the Conjuring Arts.
Again, check out www.magiccollectorsexpo.com for more info
and to register. Also, David Sandy just released a video
which highlights so many things about the Expo:
http://magiccollectorsexpo.com/index.php/magic-
collectors-expo-video/
If you don't think you're a magic collector - but you enjoy
hearing about magic and magicians of the past - I feel like
there's something for you in Minneapolis.

6. Lies All the Way - John Carey #27
--------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
https://carey-scene.com/jc-main
This
piece was inspired by David Williamson's fantastic Liars
Poker on his Magic Farm DVD. I wanted something within my
skill set that featured the multiple changes of cards under
spectator's hands.
There
is a simple three card set-up on top of the deck: Ace of
Clubs, followed by the Four of Hearts and then the Seven
of Spades third from the top.
False
shuffle retaining this set up on top and then swing cut
about half the deck into the left hand and as you complete
the cut, get a left little-finger break above your force
cards. Drop the left hand casually to the side as you introduce
the effect and the premise of lies and tells and all that
jazz.
Dribble
force to your break and hand the Ace to a spectator on your
left, the four to someone on their right and finally the
seven to someone even further to the right. Discard the
deck.
Invite
each person to peek at his or her cards and remember them.
Then have one of the group gather up all three cards and
mix them as you look away.
Turn
back around and take back the cards as you urge your helpers
to form an image of their cards in their minds.
With
the faces towards you, feign concentration as you try to
pick up on any tells the people may be exhibiting. Casually
rearrange the cards into their original A, 4,7 order from
the top if they are not already in that order.
"They
say the inflections in people's voices can often give their
true thoughts away. I will show and call out each of the
cards to you guys. When I ask you if this is your card,
just say yes. I will try to discern who is telling the truth
and who is lying."
Suiting
actions to words, execute a double turnover, showing the
four of Hearts. Ask each person individually if that is
their card? They are all to say yes of course. Pause a beat
and then turn the double card back down and put the switched
in Ace of Clubs under the first spectator's hand.
Hold the packet face-down at the right long edge and execute
a fingertip flushtration count, raising the face towards
the other two people, showing the seven of Spades and then
turning the hand palm up and dragging off the top card into
the left hand. Ask each person the question and they both
are to say yes like before. After a bit of deliberation
put the switched in four of Hearts under the second helper's
hand.
Tilt
the face of the final card towards you and very casually
miscall it as the Ace of Clubs and get your third spectator
to cover it with a hand. Act very confident about your decisions
and then ask each person if you got their card, right? It's
a very funny moment when they all say no!
"Ah,
so much for inflections, let's use magic." Make a magical
gesture over their hands and have each person in turn call
their selections out. Then, one by one, have each card turned
over to conclude with a pretty strong triple change into
their chosen cards.
Kudos to Mr. Williamson for the inspiration.

8. Brand New Book, Carey's Way
--------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
https://carey-scene.com/jc-main
Absolutely
thrilled, stoked and delighted to announce the pre-publication
doors are now open to my brand-new book, Carey's Way!
Head
over now to the website now to check it out, where you will
find full information of content plus multiple video demonstrations
and much more. The books are expected to ship out worldwide
on January 25th.
The
book is over 180 pages hardbound and crammed with 80 plus
effects covering card magic, coin magic and Mentalism.
I
genuinely believe this to be my best work to date. A massive
thanks to Phill Smith for his amazing design and I.T work
on this project. I can't recommend his work enough. The
book will retail at £35 but those people pre ordering
now can buy it for just £30 plus shipping!
But
there's more. Everyone who pre orders will receive the e-book
edition of my previous book, Me, My Cards and I totally
free of charge! There's a free sample of 3 of the effects
on the site too.
