3. November Issue Genii Magazine

Message by Richard Kaufman - Editor Genii magazine
Join
Genii for as little as $35 for one year and get more magic
than you can imagine, plus the opportunity to visit The
Magic Castle, at www.geniimagazine.com.
I
live on the east coast, somewhat isolated from the world
of magic, and so there are lots of magicians I never get
to see work. Benjamin Barnes of Chicago is one of them.
When Carisa Hendrix first approached me with the idea of
doing a cover story on him, I took the opportunity to ask
a bunch of people their opinion of Ben. All were effusive.
Ben is the person who books the Chicago Magic Lounge, an
extremely successful venue in Chicago that I've always enjoyed
visiting. He's also a regular performer there. The videos
I've linked to in the article will give you an idea of his
style, which I like a lot. Classy but not too subdued; impressive
without a lot of forced excitement. And he fooled Penn &
Teller.
The
Tenyo Company of Japan is about to release its new line
of tricks for 2025. I offer a review of the new tricks,
with videos of them, and then Yuki Kadoya takes you to the
annual Tenyo Festival which took place at the end of September
in Tokyo with a full report. As my time in charge of Genii
draws to a close, this may be the last of these annual reviews
you see here. I hope you've enjoyed them.
David
Britland's "Cardopolis" has run in Genii for many
years and this month's column will be the last. He's going
to devote his attention to a paid version of his Cardopolis
website at https://cardopolis.substack.com. The free version
will still appear periodically at https://cardopolis.blogspot.com.
For his final column, David divulges a gussied-up presentation
for the "21-Card Trick" perfectly matched with
a stealthy method.
We
hear the expression that you have to "make a trick
your own" when you perform it. Most magicians don't
know exactly what that means, but in this month's "Expert
at the Kids Table" David Kaye will explain it.
*
John Gaughan's "Chamber of Secrets," which Dustin
Stinett will continue in these pages going forward, treats
a fairly silly trick of Floyd Thayer's, but one which many
collectors nevertheless hunt for.
*
Jamy Ian Swiss brings you Noah Levine's handling of the
justifiably famous "Stencel's Aces" in this month's
"Magicana." Noah, who will shortly become the
Magic Editor here at Genii, has most improbably improved
Bob Stencel's original handling.
*
"Panmagium" brings, of all things, a fine card
routine from Jonathan Pendragon.
*
In "Thoughts …" Rafael Benatar continues
his exploration of the Double Lift.
*
Robert Mansilla shares a nice routine using a red/blue double-backed
card in "Artifices."
*
We closing in on the last few installments of Jon Racherbaumer's
column "Exhumations," and this month we get a
trick by Ed Marlo and Don May.
*
Shawn McMaster brings us yet another month of Magic Castle
Madness in "Knights at The Magic Castle."
*
"The Eye" gazes over many realms from which Vanessa
Armstrong plucks the most interesting stories.
*
"Light from the Lamp" has been where Genii's reviews
have been parked since October 1936. This month David Britland
reviews books, Mark Phillips reviews tricks, and Joe M.
Turner reviews videos. Joe has been with us for many decades,
always doing great and thoughtful work for our readers.
This will be his final column. Thanks, Joe!

4. Broken Wand - Jon Racherbaumer
-------------------------------------
Message Posted on Facebook:
It
is with the most profound sadness that I write to inform
you that Jon died early this morning. He died at home, with
me, as he had always wanted. His passing was unexpected
and sudden. His heart just gave out.
Jon
leaves behind a legacy that amazed and challenged and delighted
magicians for many years. I hope that through his written
works many magicians to come will also be enlightened by
his insights.
Jon
was that rare combination of brilliance, generosity, and
humility. He will be missed more than I can say.

5. Albert Lucio On The Magic Word Podcast
-------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells MIMC with Gold Star
Our
guest this week on the Magic Word Podcast is not a name
who is widely known among our community. In fact, he's pretty
much an underground card guy and keeps to his own business
until it comes to seances. Albert Lucio and his business
partner, Jake Cordero, host seances in and around the Austin,
Texas area throughout the year. But they are particularly
busy during October, as you would imagine. This week we
chat with Albert about the séance he presents. It
is unique in that he does not use magic tricks, electronics,
or even threads and magnets.
Their
seances are all organic and the audience's experience differs
every time they attend. But the first half of our discussion
is really a lecture on the rise of Spiritualism in America
and how it went overseas. It is a fascinating and educational
history lesson that everyone should hear. Even if you don't
plan to ever conduct a séance or even attend one,
it is interesting to know about this religion.

6. No Stone Unturned - Paul Stone - Article 174
-------------------------------------
Message by Paul Stone (US)
I've
decided for the final three weeks of Magic New Zealand to
be a little self-indulgent and give a shout out to a few
of the special performers that I have had the privilege
of working with and who have left a lasting impression on
me.
One
such performer, who also became a close friend, was Peter
Reveen. Using the unmistakable strap line 'You'll Always
Remember Reveen', he became a huge star in Canada with his
incredible one man hypnosis show which ran for many years
and made him a household name and enjoy a reputation that
still remains strong to this day.
Reveen's
remarkable career began and was shaped in Australia, where
he cut his teeth and learnt how to pitch, and become a master
of self publicity.
Although
his hypnosis show was a massive success, and made him a
millionaire, Reveen loved magic and was determined to produce
and perform the world's greatest illusion show, which indeed
he did.
Unfortunately,
as spectacular as this show was, it wasn't a box office
success, mainly due to the fact that his many thousands
of fans across Canada who had become so accustomed to seeing
his hypnosis show, voted with their feet, and didn't support
it in sufficient numbers, and so Reveen suffered heavy losses.
But
Reveen, being Reveen, that didn't deter him. He went back
to performing his hypnosis show once again to great acclaim
and success.
I'm
not going to cover Reveen's whole career here, except of
course to mention that when he moved back to Las Vegas,
he became Lance Burton's Manager, and was responsible for
setting up the deal for Lance to Headline his own show at
the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip,
in a superbly designed 'West End' style theatre.
I
want to close with a personal story about Reveen. During
the time he was managing Lance, I received a call from Reveen
asking me if I'd like to join him for a quick trip to Vancouver
where he was going to see a show by a Show Band from Hawaii,
called the 'Society Of Seven'. Needless to say, I jumped
at the chance to spend time with him.
When
we arrived at Vancouver airport, we had to go through Customs.
The Customs Officer on checking Reveen's passport, looked
up, and said. 'You're Reveen, the great hypnotist, aren't
you', and he then proceeded to recount how incredible his
show was, and how Reveen had helped him to quit smoking!
Over
that whole weekend, almost everywhere we went in Vancouver,
someone would recognise Reveen and excitedly tell similar
stories. Reveen was always gracious with them all.
He
took me to see a couple of theatres that he had regularly
played in Vancouver, including the impressive 5,000-seater
Orpheum Theatre. This theatre had played host to every major
showbusiness Star. Reveen had played there for several weeks,
6 nights a week to sold out audiences.
Reveen
ushered me outside to the stage door entrance, where there
were three plaques on the wall depicting the names of the
three people who had played the theatre on the most occasions.
The
third most was Victor Borge, the second most was Bob Hope,
and the first, by a country mile, was Reveen! He was quite
rightly extremely proud of this.
Something
else I ought to mention, as a result of seeing the show
with Reveen in Vancouver, I ended up booking the 'Society
Of Seven' for a show I was producing in Las Vegas. In that
Vegas show, the band was joined by a guest star from American
Idol, named Jasmine Trias, also from Hawaii.
At
the show Jasmine met my son Ben, and they have been happily
married now for several years, and regularly perform together
in shows around the country.
Peter
Reveen was not only a great performer, he was one of the
nicest and kindest men I have ever met, and I miss him hugely,
but I was so blessed to be able to spend a lot of time with
him and to call him a close friend.

7. Magic Museum Bellachini - Episode 94
---------------------------------------------
Message by Wittus Witt (Germany)
The
farewell is approaching ... not only a farewell to this
wonderful newsletter but also to the exhibition "Magic
in Women's Hands" at the Bellachini Museum. October
31st will be the last day to view the exhibition. On the
same day, the museum will once again be participating in
the "Hamburg Open Museum Day," which this year
carries the theme "See for Free." That means free
admission! Last year, it was a huge success: around 500
visitors waited up to two hours to see the museum.
As
a special highlight, I've invited the amazing magician Romany
Romany from England to perform on the Saturday before. As
soon as this was announced, almost all tickets sold out
immediately. My magic salon typically only has space for
20 people, but I've managed to sell 22 tickets this time.
However, I really can't fit any more than that!
Romany
arrived in Hamburg on Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024. She
feels right at home here. Around 20 years ago, she even
lived in this city for a while. She's an incredible woman
with a great sense of humor. I'm thrilled that I was able
to invite her.
A
short film can be seen on my YouTube channel:
https://youtu.be/GbAG8NYwAAA
The
day before, I received a letter from England-from Buckingham
Palace, no less! Yes, *that* Buckingham Palace. But why?
Well, anyone familiar with the history of the cups and balls
trick knows that one prominent performer of this trick is
none other than King Charles III. He passed his entrance
exam for the Magic Circle in 1975 with this very trick.
You can even see him performing it on the cover of *The
Magic Circular* from December 1975.
So,
I thought, why not write to him and ask if he could say
something about the cups and balls trick? While looking
for his contact address, I actually came across a website
stating that King Charles responds to all his mail, or at
least ensures it is answered-so long as it's not a private
or political question. So, I asked him, in my best English,
if he might send a few words of greeting for the upcoming
exhibition.
Unfortunately,
the reply was a polite refusal. In impeccable English, the
writer apologized, explaining that they couldn't fulfill
my request. But hey, at least I got a response, and that
letter now holds a place of honor in my collection!
So
long...

8. Tales From The Fantastic Magic Center - #106
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kent Cummins (US)
The
Environmental Magic Wand
In
1994, Chris Walden convinced the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to fund a project called "The Environmental
Magic Kit." The kit used six simple tricks to help
teach principles of protecting the environment. Chris brought
me in so that Magic Hotline could provide a business structure
for the project.
Inside
each kit was a Magic Wand, made from a cardboard coat hanger
tube. It was an example of re-using something, as in "Reduce,
Reuse, and Recycle." The cardboard pants hanger tubes
come in brown or white, and with the white tube, all we
had to do was trim the crinkled ends and put a piece of
black tape around the middle to make it look like a traditional
magic wand.
The teaching video that accompanied each kit taught tricks
that could be done with the magic wand.
Some
years later, I discovered that one could purchase these
tubes by the case, before they were crinkled on each end
to hold the wire hanger, and this gave us the idea of letting
kids at Magic Camp make their own Environmental Magic Wands.
And
that led to the realization that we could even let them
create their own 5-in-1 Wands! All we had to do was buy
rolls of black elastic and bags of buttons for the ends.
The
kids loved decorating these wands with markers, paint, tape,
or Contac paper. And they enjoyed the many tricks with the
wands. They could make the wand slowly rise or jump out
of their hand. They could offer the wand to a spectator,
only to have it jump back.
The
Fantastic Magic Center is dedicated to preserving and sharing
the art of magic.
But I can't do it without your help. My Patreon account

9. Ten Tips On Creativity - John Carey #250
-------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
*
Have a foundation firstly so that you have the tools to
do the job. You can't build a house without foundations!
Read, read, read ;-)
*
Think what you would like to achieve with an effect and
then start working on it. Rule nothing in or out.
*
Set your mind free! About 90 per cent of my stuff comes
from letting go and visualization. It's fun and stimulating.
Next time you are on a long boring train or plane journey,
close your eyes and visualize the cards, the coins or whatever.
*
Look at other art forms for inspiration. Go to an art gallery
and take in the pieces there. It can be really inspiring.
Or a pub ;-)
*
One plot a week! Something I advise my students is to take
one card plot and work on that and nothing else for a week.
Work through all the versions of that plot you do and know
and dissect them. Ask questions. How can I make this cleaner?
How can I improve reactions etc.
*
Always keep a notebook! Write or type up all your ideas
and thoughts. Do it properly so that when you revisit them
you can understand what the hell you were thinking :-)
*
Improv! Sit down with a bunch of different small objects
and play. See what you can come up with.
*
Listen! Always listen to your peers. They may give you an
idea you can expand upon in your work.
*
Read books other than magic! You will surprise yourself
how stimulating reading up on other non-magic topics is.
*
There are no rules! By this I mean that no card or other
kind of plot is set in stone. Twist it, turn it and throw
it up in the air and see where your thoughts land. Also,
don't get sucked in by magician's logic. Think about audience
perceptions and how you can take advantage of this.
*
When working on something, always ask yourself what if?
*
Have Fun!

10. Planning My Magic Library's Legacy
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joe M. Turner (US)
I
would guess that many of us have been asked, after the passing
of a magic friend, to help the surviving spouse or family
deal with their loved one's magic collections and libraries.
It is an honor to help, but it is a reminder that the accumulation
of such things for our own work and enjoyment can present
a challenge for the people we leave behind.
I
think it was during the pandemic that I started to consider
how to manage my own magic estate, particularly the books.
I am not really a collector of props, but over the years
I have amassed three or four thousand books, most of which
are magic books. I had seen photos on Facebook of highly
collectible books being found in thrift stores and garage
sales for almost nothing. I began to be concerned that if
something were to happen to me, my collection - which does
include some rare and highly sought-after books - might
end up being donated to a thrift store, or sold en masse
at a significantly undervalued price, or worse yet, simply
tossed in a dumpster. I knew that I did not want to leave
my family a task of trying to sell the books off independently.
To get their real value would be a full-time job for someone,
and I knew it was not a job anyone in my family would want
to take on.
And
so it happened that I started to think about how I might
use it to benefit the art itself and to leave some kind
of legacy in my home state of Mississippi.
I
knew that significant magic libraries existed in places
like The Magic Castle and The Magic Circle. Many private
collectors have incredible libraries. The Copperfield library
and the Library of the American Museum of Magic are both
extensive and historic. My library is tiny by comparison
to all of these. At the same time, there are many thousands
of magicians who live in places distant from such large
collections. I was confident that I had a library that would
be useful to magicians if I could find a way to allow access
to it.
When
my wife and I decided to move from metro-Atlanta to west
Tennessee, the moment was upon me. I was going to have to
pack up the library and move it to a new home with less
space. The time to make and execute some kind of plan was
now.
I
decided to contact the library at Mississippi State University
in Starkville, Mississippi. This is my alma mater and I
have had a continuing relationship with many of the faculty
and leaders of the university over the years since I graduated.
I arranged a meeting to discuss the option of using my library
to create a special collection within their library operations.
I had a few obvious goals. First, I wanted to make sure
that the books would be protected from simple curiosity,
but accessible to serious students and researchers. Second,
I wanted the books to be limited to viewing within the library
itself, and not available to take out and possibly lost
or stolen. Third, I wanted to ensure that the University
would not dispose of the library through some future sale
without contacting established magical institutions to ensure
that there were no better options. Finally, I wanted to
spread my donation out over several years so that I could
enjoy my books at home even as I made multiple donations
over the years.
I
spoke with the dean responsible for archives and special
collections and found that they were indeed interested and
even excited to acquire a unique collection like mine, and
we quickly determined this would be a good fit. I learned
about their specific needs from me. I would have to have
the library appraised by a qualified appraiser, at my own
expense. As a result, though, my donations would be tax
deductible for the appraised value of each donation I made,
and I could use that to my own benefit during the tax year
of the donation.
I
researched potential appraisers through calling rare book
shops and through the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association
of America. I found an appraiser in New York (Will Baker)
who was properly credentialed through the IRS, and who had
experience with magic book collections. He was also able
to provide virtual service, meaning I could supply my catalog
to him (which I have diligently maintained for years using
the free online service LibraryThing), provide photos and
videos, and allow him to do live inspections via teleconferencing.
As a result, I was able to get the required appraisal.
The
gifting process began in January 2024. I delivered about
seventeen boxes of books to the University, and that contribution
began making its way through their intake process. I will
make an additional donation in January 2025 and perhaps
again in 2026. I will keep remaining books at my home, and
when I need to make space, I can take another set to the
University. I will need to pay for subsequent appraisals,
but the tax benefit outweighs the expense.
As
a result, "The Joe M. Turner Special Collection on
Magic and Performing Arts" is a real thing at Mississippi
State University. It will continue to grow and provide an
opportunity for magicians and researchers in the southeastern
part of the United States to have access to over two thousand
volumes on magic, music, and theatre. It is certainly not
the only such collection in America, but it is the only
one in our area and therefore will be there for others who
had previously not had such a resource. Finally, it is possible
for other magicians, mentalists, and performers to contribute
their own volumes to the collection to expand it and make
it even more useful. It is certainly the kind of resource
I wish I had had as a young magician. I also hope it will
spark interest in college students.
If
you are interested in pursuing such an outcome for your
own collection, here is a summary of the steps:
1.
Begin now to make a detailed catalog of your collection.
Use tools such as LibraryThing, which allows you to add
tags to each volume that you can use in classifying, appraising,
sorting, packing, etc.
2. Contact your own alma mater, or other universities, or
other libraries in your area to see who accepts special
collections and who might be interested in yours.
3. Work with an appraiser to determine the value of your
collection overall, and the value of the individual segments
that you make when donating. I would estimate somewhere
around $1.50 to $2.00 USD per book as a ballpark figure
for the cost of valuing your collection.
4. Work with the library and the appraiser to complete necessary
tax documentation.
5. Arrange to transport the books to the library in a way
that meets their intake needs.
I
am grateful that my own alma mater was willing to take in
my collection. I wish you luck in your own search for a
lasting home for your magic books. It is rewarding to know
that these amazing creations and insights from magicians
I have admired will outlive me and continue to inspire others.
