----------------------------------
Message from Phill Walsh (Aust)

Might I highly recommend magical fraternity members consider a superb
piece of software namely 'Mailwasher' which is FREE (a US$20 donation
is more than worthwhile). Mailwasher allows the user to go directly to
their email ISP, view, blacklist, bounce, delete (any combination/or
all) email BEFORE downloading to your computer. This provides a means
to remove unwanted spam and allows one to see any email having a macro
or an attachment. Version 1.24 is free at: www.mailwasher.net

I do not normally promote software as a rule, but with over 25 years
in the computer industry using software and hardware one feels
compelled to share a darn 'good thing'.

4. Wayne Rogers UK Tour
----------------------------------
Message from Tony Griffith (UK)

I have just spent a delightful couple of days with Wayne Rogers.

It was my good fortune to see his lecture in Weston-super-Mare. From
there we travelled in convey to Ipswich, where we were both appearing
at their One Day Convention.

His lecture 'Nothing to Declare' was much appreciated by both
audiences and his 'Appearing Poles' in their various disguises caused
much comment and interest.

Wayne is driving around the UK and his tour in some respects resembles
a yo yo tour as he is travelling up and down the country. Most of the
journey is being undertaken by car, which is fully laden with boxes of
items for sale. The car is slowly becoming much lighter as the tour
progresses as magicians snap up all his 'goodies'.

Magicians in New Zealand can be proud of Wayne as he is a great
ambassador for your country.

7. Lisa Richards Magical Travels
----------------------------------
Message from Lisa Richards (Aust)

I have just spent a wonderful afternoon exploring the resort town of
Banff in the high Rockies of Alberta, Canada. It is the culmination of
an extraordinary series of magical adventures that has taken me around
the world, from the Swiss Alps to the Magic Castle in Hollywood, from
the Black Forest of Germany to Disneyland, and from the Smokie
Mountains of Tennessee to the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip.

This most excellent adventure began nearly five months ago in
Auckland, New Zealand, where I met up with Jay Scott Berry at their
annual convention. Like many of you, I met Jay when he was on tour in
Australia last October. From that chance meeting grew an amazing
synergy, professionally, artistically and personally. It was there
that we first released the new JSB Topits and Sleeve Pockets, ideas
that we had been collaborating on since we met. Alan Watson and the
whole NZ gang there were great hosts for this memorable event.

After New Zealand we flew out to perform on the tropical island of
Vanuatu at the Waterfront Bar and Grill, affectionately known as "The
Magic Castle of the South Pacific". Don and Donna were the perfect
hosts on what I will always remember as "the isle of shake and bake".
You see, a few days before we arrived, they had experienced a large
earthquake. This added an additional dimension to our shows, as there
were numerous aftershocks throughout our stay.

Next stop, Europe, where we hit the Autobahn and raced down to Geneva
for Pavel's Magic Day. This is an annual convention sponsored by
Pavel, which draws magicians from Switzerland, Germany and France.
This was a perfect chance to refresh my very rusty French. The line up
included Ali Bongo, who was to be the first of many stars of magic
that I would be privileged to meet and spend time with. He was
friendly, witty and thoroughly charming. In short, a proper British
gentleman.

After the convention, we had time to "chill out" in the resort town of
Chamonix, high in the French Alps. While there, we took a Gondola to a
mountaintop, that at 3842 meters is big enough to eat Kosiusko whole
and still have room for desert! At this point, my work began on a
dynamic new costume for Jay, to be premiered at the Magic Castle in
March.

Then, it was on to the United States, where I started in Wilmington,
North Carolina. After a series of lectures up and down the East coast,
we ended up at the Winter Carnival of Magic in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
As Jay was performing Close-up there, it was the perfect opportunity
to test out the new costume. Easier said than done...up until the wee
hours before the show, I worked feverishly to create the illusion of a
finished costume, while making sure the Sleeve Pockets, Topits and
other technical features actually worked :-o! It was touch and go up
to the last second when Jay gave the OK and we went for it. I have to
admit, I still had my doubts, and spent the entire show holding my
breath. The good news is that not only did the costume look great, but
the performance was virtually flawless. IBM president Robert Escher
called it "one of the finest presentations he had ever seen".

By this time, the Topits and Sleeve Pockets were a hit. I was making
them as fast as I could as well as installing them for magicians at
lectures and conventions along the way. The following weekend was the
Glass City Conjurer's Conclave in Toledo Ohio. From there, we headed
west towards LA, along the way, taking in the spectacular sights of
Colorado's Rocky Mountains and the eerie but beautiful moonscapes of
Utah's deserts.

On to the Magic Castle. Wow, it was as amazing as I always imagined it
would be, a beautiful Victorian mansion set up on a hillside just
above the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. The Castle is home to 3
separate and distinct theatres; The Close-up Gallery, The Parlour of
Prestidigitation and The Palace of Mystery. Jay was booked in the
Parlour, an intimate Victorian style room seating 64. Once again, it
was a race to finish off the costume. I was literally adding the final
stitches up until 10 minutes before the first show. The costume, a
Victorian inspiration with a futuristic flair, perfectly accented
Jay's performance while fitting the theme of the Parlour.

The 3 weeks in LA were like a magical dream come true. I was honored
to meet and spend time with people that I had only read about. From
Milt and Irene Larsen to Mark and Nani Wilson, Billy McComb, Jerry
Andrus, Max Maven, and even the legendary Carl Ballantine to name a
few. I was continually amazed at how gracious and friendly everyone
was. I was even invited to Billy McComb's 80th birthday party, where
the guest list read like a who's who in magic!

As if that wasn't enough, I then hit the road to Vegas. First up was
the Siegfried and Roy show. This was truly the most amazing magical
spectacle I have ever seen. I can't even begin to describe it, you
simply have to see it for yourself. Afterwards, we were invited
backstage, along with Channing Pollack, who was also in the audience.
Siegfried and Roy were both incredibly warm and personable. Siegfried
even shared some of his fond memories of travel in Australia.

The following night, it was off to the The Monte Carlo Casino for the
Lance Burton show. The theatre was absolutely gorgeous and Lance's
performance was impeccable! From his classic dove routine to the
newest illusions, this was a top notch production. Once again, we were
invited backstage and spent the rest of the evening having dinner with
Lance. I was amazed that, for such a superstar of magic, how
incredibly friendly and down-to-earth he was. He even related the oft
told urban legend of Dai Vernon and the Kangaroo.

It was a whirlwind week which also included meeting Penn and Teller
and seeing their stage show at the Rio, a few afternoons hanging out
with Jeff McBride and dinner at Johnny and Pam Thompson's house. Jeff,
like all the rest was very open and simply charming, even giving me a
sneak preview of his latest secret project. Johnny and Pam were ever
so gracious and Pam even remembered meeting me in Australia at the
Stars of Illusion show. Michael Close was also there and the evening
went very late with anecdotes, stories and magical reminiscing. By the
end, I felt like just one of the family.

Without even a day's rest, it was back across the US, to the east
coast. One of the highlights there was a weekend in Baltimore at Denny
and Lee's magic shop. Jay was booked to lecture and we had the idea to
also offer a special Topit workshop. This being the first, we didn't
know what to expect. Well, the response was tremendous. I was
literally overwhelmed as the magicians piled me with jackets to be
altered. I spent at least 20 of the next 24 hours just getting these
ready for the workshop. I was even sewing additional modifications
during the workshop itself!

From there, we headed up into Canada, with a brief stop at Niagara
Falls and then on to London and Toronto. Since then we've travelled
the length of Canada, leaving a trail of happy magicians and their new
Topits :-). Just got a call from Brian Glow, one of Canada's top
pro's, saying goodbye and thanking me for the work.

Whew! It all seems completely surreal. In a few hours, I'll be on a
plane, heading back home. It will be a chance to remind my family what
I look like and catch up on some costume work back in Oz. Looks like
I've only got a month or so, as Jay and I are already booked back in
the US for the Phoenix Gathering and the IBM Convention. From there,
it's back to the Magic Castle before flying off to the Highlands of
Scotland where we're both performing this August at Falkland Palace.
But that, as they say, is another story.

8. 12th Birthday - Junior Branch Hawkes Bay
----------------------------------
Message from peter Rawstrom (NZ)

Celebrations took place last Sunday as the junior branch of the Hawkes
Bay Club had a get together on the occasion of their 12th birthday.

Ron and Eileen Mogridge started the junior branch with 6 members,
meeting in their home once a month. Over the years a lot of members
have come and gone. But it has been encouraging to have two of the
original members still attending and becoming very competent
magicians.

It was a great party with 20 attending, junior members, seniors and
some parents and friends. There was lots of finger flinging and
performing. Some of the classics were well presented and it was nice
to see the Pop eye Pips, Colour change C.D. Blondie Loo, Giant Cards
across and the lolly pop production all receiving a great response.

A variety of close up came out of the members pockets including
traffic lights, rope effects, jumping gems, colour changing cards and
sympathetic matchboxes. Card tricks were in abundance with one of the
highlights being Richard Pinners Casino Melts taken from his lecture
at the Auckland convention. Moggo has retired from performing magic
and has passed the junior section over to Peter Rawstrone and Deryck
Olsen who are encouraging the 9 current members to practice and
perfect a new effect each month.

Any feed back from other clubs would be most welcome, especially on
how to encourage the younger ones to gain confidence, how to stimulate
interest and how to get them to put in the practice time.

9. Guy Cater To Marry Cynthia In September
----------------------------------
Message from Guy Cater (NZ)

As a Stage Hypnotist I have been extremely lucky to procure some work
in the United States performing at College Graduation Nights in
California. My girlfriend Cynthia and I leave NZ on Wed 22nd May and
fly to San Francisco. We have a couple of shows in the Sacramento area
then drive down to San Diego to stay at the home of English born -
American resident, hypnotist Barry Jones. This will be our base for
three weeks and we will commute to shows from there.
A highlight of our trip will be visiting The Magic Castle in June to
watch our friend (and this e-zine editor) Alan Watson performing
there.

After I have completed the shows we are going to drive up to Casper
Wyoming which is Cynthia's home town so I can meet her folks and
family. Whilst in Casper I will be performing a Comedy Magic and
Hypnotism Show as a benefit for the Casper Elks Lodge. Noticed that
there are two magic clubs in Fort Collins, Colorado so will try and
visit with them on our way through to Wyoming.

The big news (for us) that many in New Zealand probably won't know is
that Cynthia and I will be married in New Zealand in September ... we
promise an extremely different and fun filled day and all magi’s in NZ
are invited ... as both of us have been widowed and have had
traditional weddings we feel we would like this one to be a bit off
the wall and although all the right sentiments will be in force, the
day will be one to remember....more on this when we return from the
States in July.

10. Billy McComb Can’t Make Sydney Convention
----------------------------------
Message from Kent Blackmore (Aust)

News from the 28th Australian Convention

Billy McComb has unfortunately been forced to abandon his trip to the
Sydney Convention, due to a serious illness in his immediate family.
The convention committee apologises to registrants for the change of
plan, which is beyond our control.

However we do not intend to leave you without a replacement performer
and we are pleased to announce that DAVID MALEK from the United States
will be lecturing and performing. If you aren't already familiar with
his name, try these recommendations from two of magic's most respected
magical commentators:-

"David Malek is both a superb card man and a great entertainer. His
show and lecture should not be missed by anyone who loves card
magic." - Darwin Ortiz

"Because David Malek is a genuine actor and a killer magician, the old
platitude about actors 'playing' the part of magicians becomes a
certitude: Malek is magic." - Jon Racherbaumer

The Convention is also very proud to announce a late-night lecture by
ANDREW WIMHURST. Andrew has a proven and growing reputation, both at
home and overseas, as an innovative and skilled technician and
entertainer.

Add to that our three major evening shows, the amazing LENNART GREEN,
award-winning MAGIC CHRISTIAN and the legendary MOI-YO MILLER MONTES
and you have a weekend second to none.

Only three weeks to go! If you (still?) haven't registered, now is the
time! Full details at the convention website, at

11. Searching For Gavin White
----------------------------------
Message from James Dowley (US)

I am searching for a friend from a long time ago, his name is Gavin
White. I understand that he may be practising magic in Japan. The only
link to him that I am able to find via the internet is a picture of
him, in a tuxedo, reading the Dominion with a portion of his hair on
fire.

I am hoping that you or one of your collegues may know of him and pass
my email along to Gavin. I am going to be in Japan for the World Cup
and am hoping that I can make contact with him.

I am located in Portland, Oregon in the United States and will be
traveling to Japan with my 13 year old son. Thank you for any help you
might be able to give me with this.

12. Looking For Ultimate Uplift Instructions
----------------------------------
Message from Gordon Precious (Canada)

Could you ask if any of your recipients has the instructions for an
effect which I believe was called, "Ultimate Uplift").

I believe Ultimate Uplift was manufactured and sold by Supreme Magic -
it consists of a plastic tube about 13" high x 2.5" dia. (32cm x 6cm
dia.) with four clear Plexiglass jars inside, three of which each
contain a different coloured silk and the fourth has a blendo silk of
the other three colours.

I bought the effect at an auction, without instructions, and would
appreciate it if any fellow magus has them, if he or she would be so
kind as to send me a copy.

14. Tommy Orchard Reply, Re The Review
----------------------------------
Message from Tommy Orchard (The Amazing Orchante)(UK ex-pat Kiwi)

Steve Walker suggested that Readers' and I check out the review by Ian
Rowland. Apart from one or two minor differences, his thoughts were
much the same as mine - I have been in touch with Ian since, and told
him that I just knew he was an ‘intelligent man’! I also apologised to
for the misspelling of his surname. Steve also said that he had it on
good authority that Lance Burton was never any danger during his
roller-coaster escape. Just goes to prove that not only is Lance a
great magician, but a damn good actor as well!

By the way Steve, do you still have a hang-up about people who have
rather expensive ‘super-duper’ hi-fi stereo systems in their car,
complete with a very sophisticated graphics equaliser, who know how to
use it, as all recordings are not of the same tonal quality! One of
the nicest compliments I've had from live bands, for years - who are
not too happy about ‘canned’ music, was the tonal quality and clarity
of my recordings that I used during my act - that same quality
follows-through for my in-car entertainment. Pity more magicians don't
pay the same meticulous attention to their recorded music quality as
they do with their acts - or should do!

Thank you Bob Loomis for your kind comments. Also look for correcting
me in regards to my statement that - ‘I had never heard of any one
accidentally killing themselves in an escape stunt - but I stand to be
corrected’. But then again, the silly bugger didn’t take care of the
‘WHAT IF’ factor! Incidentally, all of my dictionaries, English,
American and Readers' Digest, all say that either STRAIT or STRAIGHT
(jacket) is correct but, if Houdini used ‘STRAIGHT’, then that sure as
hell is good enough for me!

15. The Orchante Saga #107
----------------------------------
Message from Tommy Orchard (The Amazing Orchante)(UK ex-pat Kiwi)

TREVOR KING -QSM, A LIVING LEGEND!
{Q S M - ‘Queens Service Medal’ - For Services Rendered In A
Particular Field Of Endeavour}

If you were to ask the average New Zealander, “WHO IS TREVOR KING?” -
more than likely you would get a blank stare, a shrug of the shoulders
and a “DUNNO!” in response. YET HIS NAME - THE MAN HIMSELF, is held in
great esteem and, is highly respected by some of the biggest names in
Show Business throughout the world! In attempting to record Trevor
King’s entire life-story, I may have bitten off a lot more than I can
chew! Only Trevor himself and, several large volumes I would think,
could possibly complete it!

I’ve known and have been friends with my ‘Uncle’ Trevor since 1960 -
we met in Christchurch when I was with: ‘Joe Brown’s Nationwide Search
For Stars, Finalists on New Zealand Tour’; I was only 16, going on for
17, years of age at that time. Oh my silvery /grey hairs, that was 42
years ago! Fortunately, Trevor has remained in contact with me over
all these years and even more importantly, I have kept every single
one of his postcards and letters (carefully stored away in a big
box) - most of which are of two or three pages, often more, in length.
Each one covers the news of the time and detailed information about
WHO IS DOING WHAT IN NEW ZEALAND and, ‘juicy’ inside information that,
I can promise you, many would wish I didn’t have! (So, behave
yourself - you just never know what I might know, about YOU!)

From the BEATLES to the VIENNA BOYS CHOIR, he knew them all, and they
all - ‘loved’ him! So much so, than an amazing array of famous (and
not so famous) International ‘Show Biz’ Stars, that reads like a -
‘Who’s Who’, have chosen to remain in contact with him over the years
and, continue to do so to this day (except those who have ‘kicked the
bucket’)! Following, is a list of Theatrical Shows and internationally
famous ‘NAMES’ (in no particular order - that way you don’t offend
anyone) that Trevor has been associated with, in his capacity as:
TOUR, and or ADVANCE MANAGER, during his 40 plus years with:
‘KERRIDGE-ODEON THEATRES LTD., THE LARGEST THEATRICAL ORGANISATION IN
THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE’ (I don’t know if that title still holds these
days)! Also, JCW THEATRES LTD. and the TIVOLI CIRCUIT!

The Beatles, Kenneth Mckellar, The Welsh Choir, Rolf Harris, Cliff
Richard, Gene Pitney, The Dave Clark Five, Ray Columbus And The
Invaders, Chinese Acrobatic Troupe, The Vienna Boys Choir Tours, The
Seekers, The Luton Girls Choir, ‘Franquin’ (New Zealand Hypnotist),
Sir Harry Secombe, Kenny Ball, Grahame Bell Jazz Band, Kingston Trio,

The list of names and shows is never ending. From the ‘few’ that I

Trevor King’s credentials are impeccable!
