6. Around The Lounge By Jeff Bibik #5
--------------------------------------------
Message by Jeff Bibik (USA)
Chicago Magic Lounge
ChicagoMagicLounge.com

The Chicago Magic Lounge is as much an art gallery as it is a theater. In this installment I'll talk about the many Posters that decorate our space.

The Lounge features two dozen original posters of magic's greats. Starting in the bar there are 2 large 3 sheet posters. Standard measurements for these are 41 inches by 81 inches. They're huge, as are the fees for framing them! We have Thurston doing a levitation and Vonetta. The Thurston dates from 1908 and Vonetta is from 1910. Not too much is known about Vonetta, she was a quick change act we believe to be from England. We have a small Chung Ling Soo and "his 10 assistants", his fingers. An American who passed himself off as Asian he was killed doing the bullet catch. Across from the bar is our oldest poster, a Keller poster from 1894 with him performing a spirit handkerchief cabinet.

Moving into the Blackstone cabaret there is of course a 1 sheet of Blackstone, complete with imps. In our upper mezzanine is another later Thurston 3 sheet, this one featuring Jane Thurston from the 1920s.

The long hallways alongside the cabaret hold many of our larger posters. We have 3 sheets from Carter, (we have 3 different Carters, 2 are 1 sheets) George, Alexander, (The man who knows), and Albini. He was a Polish magician who lifted his name from another working magician. Hard to believe magicians stealing something, isn't it? It's an odd piece, with only his portrait, no props or routines. He died in Chicago during a run of his show. Blackstone acquired many of his props when he was still known as Fredrick.

Dante is represented by 2 posters, a traditional lithograph and a show card with Moi Yo Miller. Maro also has 2 posters shown; he left behind a load of posters. An autographed Doug Henning graces the back hallway, another Henning is in the performer's green room.

One mystery poster in or collection is from 1917 and is of Will Bland. We don't know much about him but believe he was Australian. We'd love to know more about him, if any of you know more please email me, Jeff@Bibik.com.

Finally, we have the only full sized copy of the Chicago Magicians Round Table drawing. The Round Table met daily for many years in restaurants around downtown Chicago. In 1965 a montage picture was made by an artist named Salvatore Salla featuring 108 members from across the years. Many famous names are on that list, and the original hangs at The Magic Castle in Hollywood. This copy was a gift to us from the Magic Castle on our second anniversary.
So at every turn of 5050 N Clark Street in Chicago you can see some of the history of magic, from Chicago and across the globe - plan to visit on your next trip to Chicago.

We're open 7 nights a week at 5PM. I'll see you on the other side of the bar! The Amazing Bibik

Next week - some of our smaller treasures.

8. News From The Academy Of Illusions
--------------------------------------------
Message by Jay Scott Berry (Australia)

Victor Hugo famously said, "Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come." It seems an appropriate thought to ponder as we look back on our first two months at the Academy.

In that time, we've presented 30 Webcasts, some Magi-Only and some Muggle-Friendly. All were streamed, without charge, to the FB Page and Art of Wonder Group. On the performance side, we presented 6 Private Shows and 1 Public Gala. On the teaching side, I conducted 16 ZoomStorming Masterclasses and 3 Club Lectures. We also Streamed 4 of Alan Watson's "Seven Secrets to Success" Series. Finally, as if to prove, beyond any doubt, that this is "The Golden Age of Mentoring", I taught 45 Private Coaching Sessions. Every one of these presentations were Virtual, streamed live to the 4 corners of the earth. Congratulations to all who assisted in these events and many thanks to all attendees.

This week's "Illusioneering'' offered an exclusive sneak-peek at my next Digital Download, "CoinCentric". I dropped more bonus material for the "Get Reel" Download. We took the WayBack Machine to Kuala Lumpur 2010, to discover how I ended up on Malaysian Postage stamps. Finally, I continued teaching Magical Crafts with more cool giveaways using Pipe Cleaners.

Speaking of "Get Reel", the rave reviews continue to pour in. As reported last week, this project condenses 40 years of real-world experience into a 70 minute Masterclass on Reel & Silk Magic. Chris Edwards just posted his 100% +++ Review, which includes the 5 Performances. You can watch it on his Youtube Channel: https://youtu.be/Lzlt04kkrCE

Our resident Master of Mischief and Mayhem, Geno DeVille, is away performing this week at a Magic Festival. His show, GenoMania, will resume next week with the official launch of "CoinCentric."

So, as we enter our 3rd month, it appears that we are almost up-to-speed. Looking ahead, in addition to our regular programs, we've got "Illuminations" on the 19th, the 2nd "Excelsior Gala" on the 21st and "The Solstice Concert" on December 21st. More details on these in the coming weeks.

Back in mid-August, Director Tommy Chiang and I agreed that it was time to launch the Academy of Illusions. We began with a basic set of founding principles and the idea to use the most advanced technologies to present, and teach, the most Ancient of Arts. It certainly seems it's an idea whose time has come.

9. Did Ya Get The Odd One? - John Carey #140
-------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
http://www.johncareymagic.co.uk/

Did ya get the odd one? is a moveless colour changing deck based purely on perception and subtlety. There's no over-proving or calling undue attention to colour, as you often see with this effect. You will require a rainbow deck. I use the beautiful Bicycle Spectrum deck by Cosmo Solano. On top of this deck place a red backed bicycle card, and then on the very top place two red backed Jokers. Pop the deck inside the box. On the back of a business card write "You will get the odd one." Bring out the deck and remove from the box.

They see red cards coming from a red box. Table the box and mention you won't need the Jokers. Flip the top two cards face-up showing Jokers, remove them and pocket them. Another subtle show of red backs. Orientate the deck with the faces towards the audience and execute a slip shuffle, retaining the red backed card at the rear of the deck. Square up and table the deck face-down, a red back in view on top. Remove the business card and table it, message side down.

"I'm going to have you make some choices. As I spread through the deck please indicate any four cards." Suiting actions to words, turn the deck face-up, slowly make a hand-to-hand spread and have four different cards touched. Place each of these four cards face-up on the table forming a row. Square up the deck and table it face-down for a moment, with the red-backed card still showing on top.

"I'd like you to choose one of these four cards in an interesting way. Firstly, just tell me one of them you don't want?" They point to one of the four face-up cards on the table and you pick the tabled deck up, holding it in face-up dealer's grip - you cut away a packet from the face and drop it on top of their eliminated card. "Fine, it's gone. Another please?" You repeat the action, cutting a face-up packet on top of their next eliminated card.

"Finally, from the two that remain, just tell me which one you don't want one last time, leaving your ultimate choice right there." Turn both hands palm down and point to the two tabled cards, enabling one subtle final show of a red back. Turn both hands palm-up and swing cut half the deck into the left hand. The right-hand packet is dropped on top of the final card they don't want and then this packet is picked up and dropped on top of the left hand's cards, thus secretly or openly cutting the deck. Table the face-up deck.

"So you made all the choices and wanted this card. Please turn over my prediction and read it out." They do and you will get a puzzled reaction. "Turn your card over. See, it really is the odd one. Wouldn't it have been very odd if you had chosen any other card?" Basically we are leading them down the path here before turning on the sprinklers. Pick up the deck and turn it over and execute a large wide ribbon spread showing that the backs of all the cards have changed into various colours of the spectrum and your mystery is complete.

Recent road tests for my lab rats in the pubs locally have proven that people simply don't see this coming. I think it's purely because the perception and subtlety at play lays all the groundwork ready for the visually shocking full deck colour change. Now it's yours so get out there and smoke 'em!

11. No Stone Unturned - Paul Stone - Article #36
--------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Stone (US)

I'm writing this week's article in my home city of Liverpool in England. I've travelled back for a quick six day visit having swapped the relative warmth and sunshine of Las Vegas and its 80 degree heat, for the cold, windy and wet November weather here in the UK.

Liverpool is a wonderful and very vibrant city but the rain has been really heavy and almost non-stop since I arrived!

I was able to drive North to Blackpool, the venue of the world's largest magic convention which will happily be taking place once again next February.

At their last Convention in 2019 (I'm not counting the virtual one earlier this year), I brought Lance Burton and Friends over from Las Vegas, and the 5,000 attendees absolutely loved watching him perform and seeing him around the convention.

Although the 2022 convention probably won't have as many people register, there are still likely to be at least 2500 people there, together with the usual impressive list of dealers from all around the world.

The three convention organisers on behalf of Blackpool Magicians Club, Russ Stevens, Russ Brown and Guy Barratt are putting together yet another exciting line-up of talent. And there are quite a few new names as well as some familiar faces.

Here are just some of the artists who will be appearing : Christian Farla, Andrew Basso, Ehrlich Ocompo, Mario Lopez, Ruben Fernandez, Mark Oberon and Philip Hitchcock. Philip will be performing his floating fireball which looks fantastic.

I'm told that there are also a couple of surprise performers, so watch this space!

I'll be back at the convention and this time I'll be bringing over a very special lady from Las Vegas, Lynette Chappell. Lynette was the leading lady and 'Evil Queen' in all of Siegfried & Roy's spectacular shows in Las Vegas, and Japan.

Her life, and the background stories she has, having starred with Siegfried & Roy for over 45 years are unique and amazing, and I'll be interviewing her as well as showing some incredible clips from their record breaking show at the Mirage and also the 'Beyond Belief' Show at the Frontier Casino.

Lynette is a class act and is very excited to be coming to Blackpool. It is her first ever visit to any British Magic Convention, so it is another real coup for the Blackpool convention team.

12. The Orchante Saga - Beginnings
-------------------------------------
Written by the late Tommy Orchard (The Amazing Orchante)

Grafton - Plus A True Legend

Monday November 1st 1976. We have now been domiciled in Sydney Australia for exactly three months to the day. We had arrived in the country totally unknown and within that short space of time had been integrated into the Club circuit and, Wonders of Wonders, had also performed on Australia's most Networked, Live TV Show; all with the help of - 'The Powers That Be' (God, or whoever, whatever you believe in - if anything), that had put us into contact with Bill Godfrey and hence Clive Herring and consequently our Agent/Manager, Brian Fogarty.

Also on that Monday the 1st, we had been booked for our first engagement outside of Sydney - four nights at the Grafton Ex Services Club. The rich agricultural capitol of Grafton is 665
Km. (Approx. 407 miles) north up the Pacific H/way, and straddles the Clarence River. In the first week of every November, Grafton celebrates its 'Jacaranda Festival'; approaching the town, a strange, light purple haze seems to reflect off the sky - then as you enter the outskirts, you are greeted by the sight of flowering Jacaranda trees that 'magically' multiply into hundreds
then thousands, all blooming in magnificent splendour. Every street as far as you can see, is lined with them and the astonishingly breathtaking vision of the beautifully exquisite mauve/lilac colour, the sheer enchantment of it all is something that, believe me - remains with you forever!

As part of the Jacaranda festival that year, the Grafton Ex Services Club had arranged for a very special fishing boat, to be in attendance on the river. So what was so special about this boat, and what was its connection to Grafton, and why is it 'special' to me? Are you ready for a history lesson? It's an action-packed, enthralling story of brave men with real guts that would make a great film; take note any Film Directors/Producers out there who may be reading this.

Here Is The Story Of An Australian Legend

Krait

In the hard times of 1942 and 1943, when the Australians, British and Americans were struggling to contain Japanese expansion, some vessels became little legends in their own right. Kuru, a minute motorboat of just 55 tons, made a hero of herself on the "Timor Ferry Service" in early 1942, along with the auxiliary patrol vessel 'Vigilant'. She ferried refugees, commandos, stores and equipment between Fremantle and small, dark bays on the Timor coast - a round trip of more than 6,000 kilometres. But perhaps the best known was Krait, originally the Japanese Kofoku Maru - a 70-foot wooden motor fishing vessel of 1920 vintage. She was seized at Singapore and sailed away before the place fell to the Japanese on 15th February 1942. An excellent type of vessel for raiding, she was taken into service and carried out many daring intrusions into enemy territory. The most famous was Operation "Jaywick", the successful insertion of canoe-borne Commandos into Singapore Harbour (26th September 1943).

Of all the units to serve in World War II, one of the most unusual and in all probability the bravest was the extremely top secret and highly trained 'Z Special Unit', often referred to,
incorrectly, as simply - 'Z Force'. In actual fact, they were two entirely different units. All of its missions were cloaked in absolute secrecy and even now, sixty years after World War II, little is known of its 182 clandestine missions. Although most of the recruited men of Z Special Unit were Australian, there were also Dutch, New Zealanders, Canadians, French, Americans, Malays, Chinese and Indonesians, about as different a bunch of guys as you could get. Recruited from various branches of the Armed Forces, all were experts in particular fields of covert procedures.

Of all the missions 'Z Special Force' carried out, two raids against Japanese shipping in Japanese Occupied Singapore Harbour were the most fantastic and well known. The first of these, and
the one that is relevant to this story, was: Operation 'Jaywick, on the 26th September 1943 (I was eighteen days old), resulted in 38,000 Tons of enemy shipping sunk. The second - Operation 'Rimau' on the 11th September 1944, involved the use of small one-man submarines. The raiders, compromised before arriving at their destination - were consequently captured and ceremonially
beheaded by the Japanese.
