2. FISM Update - Hotels, Bed And Breakfasts, Air BNB Stays
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)
You
most likely prefer to stay in the Delta which is the host
hotel and close to the venue during FISM. However at the
moment it is fully booked during the time of the event.
You might like to stay in a more traditional Quebec venue.
There
are several suggestions on the FISM website: www.FISMQuebec2021
(Don't let the date fool you.) By far my favorite hotel
is La Capitale, a stone's throw from the wall. Its corridors
are curved brick. The rooms are newly renovated but the
building itself is classic. Unfortunately it's quite expensive.
The Concord has a revolving dining room giving you a bird's
eye view of the old city and the St. Lawrence River.
If
you don't stay there, I'd suggest a meal in the restaurant.
It's a real treat. There are 24 hotels mentioned on the
FISM site, something for everyone. They fill up quickly
during the summer months. Best to book now rather than wait
if you want something to fit a budget. Hotels in Quebec
City are generally expensive during the summer because it's
such a popular tourist location.
The
best deals are usually on the Air BnB website. There are
over 300 listed in the Quebec City area, and several for
under $200 that look wonderful. They too will book quickly
in the summer, so if you're interested in a unique stay,
go to the Air BnB site today. I've never been disappointed
with the places I've stayed through them.
There
are also many small hotels in the Old Quebec area.
Auberge
Saint Louis, 48, rue Saint-Louis, starts at $99/night if
you are willing to share a bathroom. The cost is $129 if
you prefer a private bathroom.
Hotel
Acadia, 43, rue Sainte-Ursule Old Québec. $198/night.
Review: "Awesome! This was a very good hotel. Small,
cozy rooms with great views of the busy streets of Old Quebec
City. The location was unmatched from what I could see and
friendly..."
The
Château Frontenac (1 rue des Carrieres) is an historic
landmark in Quebec.
It's
a high-end hotel offering plush quarters, plus fine dining,
a spa, a wine bar & river views.
Overlooking the St. Lawrence River, this grand, castle-like
hotel is a 3-minute walk from Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame
de Québec and 8 minutes' walk from boutiques in Quartier
Petit Champlain. However, as the saying goes, if you need
to ask the price, you can't afford it.
It doesn't cost anything to walk around inside, and this
you should do. It is the building that signifies Quebec
City and deserves a look. ($647./night)

Join
us and get tens of thousands of pages for as little as $35
when you subscribe to Genii at www.geniimagazine.com. All
back issues of Genii and MAGIC magazine are yours to read
for free.
The
Magic Castle has a new owner, and he's on the cover of the
May issue. Read all about how Randy Pitchford became the
Academy of Magical Arts' new landlord. Dr. Will Houstoun,
Dr. Richard Wiseman, and David Britland tell us the story
behind story decks (you know, routines like "Sam the
Bellhop"). David Regal does some coin and do-it-yourself
work in "Material Concessions," while Jim Steinmeyer
gets poetic in "Conjuring." In "Dealing with
It," John Bannon serves up a multi-effect showpiece
with cards. Jon Racherbaumer unearths an almost self-working
card trick in "Exhumations," and this month's
"Magicana" has three items, including one that's
guaranteed no FUSS.
It
turns out that Hannibal wanted to play the guitar. Fortunately
for us he plays a deck of cards far better; read about it
in "Happiness is the Road." Krystyn Lambert shares
a chance meeting with Paul Harris in "Stage as Studio."
It's all about firsts in this month's "Knights at The
Magic Castle" with Shawn McMaster. Vanessa Armstrong
casts "The Eye" of Genii on magic's news. Finally,
our reviewers in "Light from the Lamp" this month
are Tom Frame with books, Brad Henderson on tricks, and
Bill Wells discusses videos. We remember three fine men
of magic in this issue: Pressley Guitar, Peter Galinskas,
and David Goodsell. All that and more is on the inside.
In
the meantime, the countdown to MAGIC Live is on. We hope
to see you there.

4. No Stone Unturned - Paul Stone - Article #57
--------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Stone (US)
I've
always felt that it is very important that we don't forget
the great names in magic that have gone before us, and that
we continue to talk about them and, where possible, to celebrate
their achievements.
So,
it was a distinct pleasure to join and be a part of a special
Zoom session remembering the magic legend that was Ken Brooke.
Hosted
and produced by Nick Lewin, looking every bit the Grand
Master, fresh from his acclaimed talk on Ken at Bill Smith's
successful Collectors Magic Expo a couple of weeks ago in
Austin, Texas, this event attracted over 100 Ken Brooke
fans, each with their own very personal memories of this
giant of magic.
Ken
was of course, a wonderful performer, a highly skilled magician
with an unrivalled flair for comedy, but most of those present
at this session knew him better as one of the most influential
dealers and demonstrators that the world of magic has ever
seen.
You
only need to know just some of the names that joined in
this session to fully appreciate the level of affection
and respect that they held for Ken.
They
included Gaetan Bloom from France, Dick Koornwinder from
Holland, Trevor Liley from UK, and Mike Caveney and Marc
DeSouza to name a few.
Everyone
had their own very personal memories of Ken, and what was
particularly interesting was the fact that we all felt that
Ken had a unique relationship with each of us.
Somehow he made us feel special, and he went out of his
way to help, mentor or simply do something kind for us.
Many
well-known magicians that frequented Ken Brooke's Magic
Place in Wardour Street, in London's Soho, were talked about,
Fred Kaps, Paul Daniels, Ricky Jay, Roy Johnson, Wayne Dobson
and Tommy Cooper.
We also remembered Ken's business partner, Frank Farrow,
without whom the 'Place' wouldn't have happened, and Jim
Hooper, the incredible genius behind the scenes who came
up with most of Ken's 'NEMO' effects.
Lots
of stories about Ken's favorite pub, the Dog & Duck,
and his favorite restaurant the Piccadilly Restaurant near
to his studio, where many of us were lucky enough to spend
countless hours in his company.
It
was a brilliant session which lasted over two and a half
hours, and which quite happily could have gone on for another
few hours! Such was the love and lasting memories of a true
magic icon.
Special
thanks to Nick, who of course was one of Ken's Star pupils,
and who Ken was always immensely proud of, for setting this
up. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

A
young Fay Presto's excellent sleight of hand, close up and
performance skills shine brightly in this first live televised
interview and performance on BBC 1 - Wogan talk show with
Terry Wogan on November 5th, 1986.
There
is a back-story, the producers tried to derail Fay's performance
on live TV, they changed her finish performance time twice
during her set as she performed her magic. Fay adjusted
admirably and no one could imagine the pressure she was
under.

7. News From The Academy Of Illusions
--------------------------------------------
Message by Jay Scott Berry (Australia)
As
custodians of this Timeless Art, we are called upon to honour
the past, celebrate the present and create the future. This
week, we have been focused on all of these, through Shows,
Mentoring, Memorials and Livestreams.
Our Top Story is the Key West Hybrid Konvention, just 2
weeks away! On May 14th & 15th we will celebrate the
25th Anniversary of Frank's Magic Bar in Key West. This
is, without question, one of the great success stories in
the history of our Art. Couple that with the fact that Frank
Everhart Sr. was one of the Chicago group that helped to
establish the genre of Bar Magic 60 years ago. For this
Live and Virtual Event, we have an All-Star lineup of Masters
and Grandmasters. These include Michael Ammar, Doc Eason,
Frank Everhart, Geno DeVille, Greg Otto, John Johnson and
yours truly.
I
am also pleased to introduce Austin Moody, one of the fastest
rising stars around. Over the weekend, we will webcast exclusive
Shows, Lectures, Masterclasses, Interviews and Discussions,
many of which will never be repeated. These include a one-off
Eason/Ammar/Everhart/DeVille Show and Masterclass on 'Sam
the Bellhop" and the first ever Ammar/Berry Topit Masterclass!
With 10 Main Events, the stage is set for an epic weekend
of wonder. And, the best part is that the Registration,
whether you attend live or not, includes all of the recordings
as Digital Downloads. Enter this coupon code at the checkout
for 20% off the already low price: Coupon Code = Kon20OFF
www.DeVilleMagic.net
Speaking
of Mr. Deville, GenoMania episode 26 streamed across FB
to attendees from around the globe. His tech tips included
a number of practical suggestions and adaptations on well-known
gimmicks. He then showed a definitive performance of McDonalds
Aces by Jorg Alexander. As always, this was discussed in
depth with the online attendees. We wrapped with What Gets
Your Goat? This week was my turn to suggest the topic and
I focused my rant on the general disrespect we see across
the Social Media groups towards well established pros like
David Blaine. In our 10 minute discussion, we discussed
Blaine's place in magic history, his new Masterclass and
just-announced residency in Las Vegas. The upshot was that,
whether one likes or dislikes the style, Blaine has earned,
and therefore deserves, our respect.
On
the ZoomStorming front, last Saturday marked the 8th Masterclass
in the Intensive Training Series. I pulled out all the stops
to pack the 2 hour session with as much details and instruction
on the Topit. This included the history, right up to my
most recent innovations on the Shirt Topit System. There
are already a number of requests to repeat the Series, so
we are looking at the possibility of doing those over the
next few months, in partnership with The Magic Castle.
Finally,
on the immediate horizon is a mini Masterclass focusing
on the Sanada Gimmick. This will be an S.A.M. presentation
via the V1.1 Virtual Assembly. I was honoured to be asked
by past president Joel Zaritsky to present this on May 8th
at 4pm NY Time. Entrance is free to all S.A.M. Members.

How
To Get Booked At Magic Conventions Or Magic Venues
Currently
I have the honor of serving as the President of the Texas
Association of Magicians. My primary duty is to organize
the TAOM convention which happens every year in a different
Texas city. As the convention approaches, I am contacted
by potential acts.
Getting
booked for a magic convention or a magic venue (MCMV) need
not be a mysterious process. Allow me to shed some light
on the MCMV markets.
Working
MCMVs come with perks. You get to attend the magic convention
or venue and you also get to network with other bookers
who may also be there. BUT BE WARNED: Despite how prestigious
it can look to appear at an MCMV, these gigs don't usually
pay much. If you're a paid professional, then know that
MCMVs should be considered as supplemental gigs only. Even
your most famous performance venues tend to not pay that
much money. You cannot make a magic career solely out of
doing MCMVs. If you're still interested in these gigs, read
on.
Make
Yourself Useful And Known To The Right People This is the
hardest step in getting booked at MCMVs. MCMVs are looking
for sure-fire talent that they can hire at a reasonable
price that will encourage more paying customers (convention
registrants and venue customers). If you're an unknown act,
regardless of how good you are, you're less likely to get
booked at an MCMV. You have to make yourself KNOWN in the
magic world.
Every
MCMV has a single person you want to convince to hire you
whether it's the Castle, the IBM convention or whatever.
Who are these people? You'll have to research those individuals
yourself. It wouldn't be professional for me to list any
names here. These bookers are real-life human beings; many
of which do magic for pay, just like yourself. Once you
assemble your list of potential bookers
(2)
Be Useful. Help these producers bring in more customers
or registrants and they will probably book you. You need
to be known in the magic community a little bit before pitching
yourself to these bookers. The best way to make yourself
known to these people is to network with your local magic
clubs, in your local magic shop, and enter as many magic
contests as you can.
Make
yourself useful and known in the art of magic. If bookers
know that you're already involved in advancing the art of
magic, then they are more likely to book you. Do you volunteer
your time at your local magic club? Have you served as an
officer of a magic organization? Showing MCMV bookers that
you care about the growth of the art of magic beyond your
own paycheck and fame is a MUST.
(3)
Have An Amazing Product for the MCMV to use. Have a great
act that's original and fun. If your act sucks, don't expect
to be booked. Make sure that other people think your act
is good before approaching a booker. Again, did I mention
magic contests?
How
much should you charge? Obviously, you want to get paid
for your work; but the harsh reality is that when you go
off and work an MCMV you could have just as easily stayed
home and worked a couple of local family and made just as
much money. Magicians who reach out to me are often shocked
when I tell them that I'm USUALLY looking for an act in
the $500-$1200 range. Even if I offer to offset some travel
expenses, this is often too little money for some acts to
travel to work my events. Again, I stress that you can't
get rich on MCMVs.

9. Just One Thought - John Carey #159
-------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
http://www.johncareymagic.co.uk/
Let's
face it, finding a selected card taken from a deck is strong.
But locating a card that is merely thought of by a participant
really does up the ante. There's simply nowhere for them
to go, and presented and acted out correctly can come very
close to real mind reading. Using a couple of classical
gambits and a beautiful concept of my insanely talented
friend, Michael Murray, I am very proud of the following.
Whenever
you wish to segue into this piece simply manage any ten
spot to the bottom of the deck. "Let's try something
now with a piece of your mind. I will have you think of
a card under test conditions. First off, think of a number
between one and ten. Next think of a card suit. Now combine
those two thoughts to form a playing card that merely resides
in your mind. So if you thought of two and Spades your card
would be the Two of Spades, right?"
So
this opening interaction gets them to think of a card in
a very fair and interesting fashion. You genuinely don't
know what they are thinking of, which is what makes this
super strong. We will now indulge in two classical ambiguous
Mentalism strategies to unlock the door to their thought.
"Be honest, you're not thinking of a red card, are
you?" If they say yes you respond "I thought so."
However, if they say they are not, your response is "I
didn't think so." Let's say for teaching purposes that
they are indeed thinking of a red card.
We
will now utilize what's become known as the repeater ploy,
a brilliant idea of Jerry Sadowitz, popularized by the great
Derren Brown. "Focus on the suit of your card for me
and look at me and say it over and over in your mind, like
Diamonds, Diamonds, Diamonds yes?" If you get a smile
or positive visual or audible response then you know they
are thinking of a Diamond. If however you get no response
at all their card must be a
Heart,
in our teaching example. Be very casual and liberated as
you use this beautiful ploy. We shall say that they are
thinking of a Diamond. So with hardly any effort we are
one step away from discerning their genuinely thought of
card. "Finally please focus on the number or value
of your card. I will attempt to cut to that number with
the deck here." Pick up the deck and execute any deceptive
false cut and table the deck. Pick up the deck from above
with your palm-down right hand and look away as you raise
the face of the deck towards your participant, showing a
ten spot. "Did I get close?" Allow them to reply.
Now
for the golden question: "How many was I off by?"
If they say by three you now know their card is the Seven
of Diamonds. If they say off by Five you would then know
their thought of card is the Five of Diamonds. This is an
application of Michael Murray's brilliant Springboard concept
from his book A Piece Of My Mind. It's truly a thing of
beauty. Cut the deck and complete the cut, losing the ten
spot.
Let's
say that they say you were off by three. Pick up the deck
and spread the cards with the faces towards you. Feign concentration
and then extract the Seven of Diamonds. Have your participant
name the card they merely thought of and a moment later
finish the mystery in style.
Even
though it's taken quite an extensive write up, in practice,
the effect is very straightforward and performed confidently
extremely powerful. Never perform this as an opening effect.
Establish a connection and empathy with your audience first
and don't present this as a challenge effect.
I
wish you every success with it!
