3. Keep Dribbling Old Magic Posters Onto eBay
--------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Daniels (UK)
Hope
all is well with you and the NZ gang.
So...
what am I up to? Well, fortunately for me in this time of
all the media banging on about recessions and depressions,
I am working all the time on lots of different styles of shows.
Not only am I performing but I have also been working on special
and mysterious effects for a new play called 'Scared to Death'
and a musical called 'Jack the Ripper'. The latter is more
fun than it sounds.
Debbie
and I did a few shows on the Adonia, a cruise ship, and managed
to visit Malta, one of our favourite places. Sadly we just
missed Vanni Pule who had gone over to the UK for the IBM
British Ring Convention.
We
flew back from the ship to do a show and a Q and A session
at the IBM British Ring Convention.... but Vanni had flown
back to Malta by the time we arrived. I emailed him to tell
him I thought he was deliberately avoiding us. The IBM audiences
seemed to like the nutty stuff I did.
In
the midst of all this I have done my best to keep dribbling
old magic posters onto eBay where my seller name is, naturally,
pauldaniels, but if I am going away on a job I sometimes have
to have gaps of a couple of weeks so that I can guarantee
delivery.
The
response to my one day mini-conventions where 10 magicians
at a time have been coming to our home for advice/lessons/demonstrations
has been fantastic. I have loved doing these sessions, which
you can find on www.pauldaniels.co.uk, because the questions
bring out old methods from my memory that are still relevant
today. Sometimes we are all guilty of chasing 'the latest'
and forget how good this old stuff can be in the right hands.
Certainly a couple of weeks ago I baffled a roomful of magicians
with a really really old magic trick. When someone pointed
out that it was a Triumph effect I pointed out that this was
WAY before Vernon and I loved his response...'that is so much
easier than what I have been doing'.
Your
readers might want to send me questions which I do try to
answer on YouTube where I have a channel, whatever that is.
Thanks
for keeping this fantastic newsletter going my friend.

Magician
David Blaine Unplugs After High-Voltage NYC Stunt
By Jonathan Allen
New York
(Reuters)
- David Blaine has safely unplugged.
The thrill-seeking magician came down Monday evening from
the 20-foot-high (6-meter) perch on a New York pier where
he spent the past 72 hours standing inside an artificial lightning
storm generated by seven high-voltage, low-current Tesla coils.
The 39-year-old performer said the electrifying performance
would be his last endurance stunt.
Blaine
spent the final minutes grinning and waving at a crowd of
about 150 onlookers and pretending to conduct the thunderously
loud renditions of keyboard works by Bach, Liszt and Mozart
that provided the musical accompaniment to the stunt..

Message by Nick Lewin (US)
A
performing guide to video Part Two.
Last
week I gave some thoughts on promotional videos. They were
of course strictly my opinions however they were based on
a great deal of experience in the field. Every now and then
I get involved in emails and try and give specific advice.
I have decided not to do this anymore!
I
recently got involved in a correspondence with someone interested
in entering the cruise market. His initial video, which was
unavailable online, contained two items that were palpably
unsuitable to send to anyone booking this kind of work, and
I pointed this out. Next he wanted to know whether a video
featuring needles and razor blades was suitable. NO.
This
leads me to one final statement on videos that are designed
to raise work in a specific area. Make sure they are suitable!
With a family audience, it is highly unlikely that any booker
wants a performer who presents magic that could influence
young people and possibly cause them to cause damage to themselves
by trying to emulate it. Look at your market, look at your
repertoire and use your best instinct. If in doubt have several
videos (or one video cut several ways) to cover the various
markets you are interested in.
I
want to continue last week's column with a word or two about
the performer's use of video support, or as it is often referred
to I-mag.
It
can be a wonderful blessing to have a video camera blow up
the action that is taking place on stage, but there are a
few points I would like to make.
1 The only point for video support is to supply close-up shots
of the action, important props, selected cards, facial expressions
etc. If the video is just a long shot then it does very little
good. In fact in my opinion it can do harm, as the audience's
attention is split between the live action and the screen(s)
and you have split the focal point of your audience.
2
The best way to improve the quality of your video assistance
is to write a short, clear and simple script for the videographer.
Let him know what you are going to do and when the close ups
will be most useful.
3
If there is more than one camera involved, find out which
one is going to be used for the close-up shots, and play the
appropriate action to that camera. Play it just a little slower
than you would if there were no cameras present, because he
needs time to focus.
4
Try and work from the center of the stage and twist your body
from side to side to display the props/action to the live
audience. If you keep striding around from one side of the
stage you will find the camera misses your actions and it
looks bad on screen - which is where most people will be watching.
Both
of these last two points can best be summed up by thinking
of yourself as performing on a live TV show. You are playing
to the camera, which is relaying your actions to the crowd.
Concentrate on making eye contact with the live audience and
occasionally really blasting the camera with your eye contact.
5
Sometimes this video assist is projected without a copy ever
being made. But if it is recorded make sure that you request
that they make a dub for you. This could be your next promotional
video waiting to happen. Usually, if it is a corporate event,
they will keep a copy for their records, though it isn't always
easy to get one, but give it a try. It is usually the case
that they edit the cameras on the spot for use during the
live event. However, you can always request that they run
'iso' on the cameras, and that way you will get footage from
all the cameras shooting plus the line edit. Offer to pay
for any additional cost.
It
is always useful (actually, almost essential) to get some
audience reaction shots in order to edit your promo tape later.
A few friendly words (and sometimes a $100 bill!) can work
wonders in obtaining co-operation. You might just end up with
a three thousand dollar video shoot for (almost) free!
I
have some really great magical items in my online store and
more being released all the time! There is also some great
video there that is unavailable anywhere else!

7. Chair Suspension - Two Birthday Children? - #277 - Kyle
Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
Question:
I have a dilemma that will come up next year when I do my
two grandsons, yes they are twins, birthday party. I cannot
seem to figure out a way to use (the Chair Suspension Illusion)
on both boys w/o repeating the illusion. I'm sure you have
run into this before with twins or two kids sharing the same
birthday party. Any ideas would be most helpful. I know both
will want to have a turn at being levitated. I really don't
like the idea of repeating the trick again. Thanks.
Answer:
Good question and as a twin myself, I understand it clearly.
I have a few different ways in which to address it. First,
I never like to repeat the trick in the course of the same
show. When repeated it kills the flow of the show and the
pacing and makes for an awkward situation for you as the performer.
However, what I can do is talk to the client and make them
aware early on that I will do the following:
I
will bring one child up and explain just how magical they
are. I explain, that today I am going to make THEM a real
magician with all the powers of a young magician's apprentice.
That they alone (with my help) will do something simply amazing.
They become the magician and they are the ones that make their
twin suspend on the chair. I show and explain that both become
the star of the show and give equal importance to both roles.
It is important that the client and the birthday children
know and feel that you are given equal importance to them
both without favoritism. Both roles are made to be just as
exciting and just as rewarding as the other. They work as
a team in order to create a grand finale that works for everyone.
I
then state that the show will end as both bow and both get
the applause equally. Then after the show is over (and after
the kids move on to other things) I will have the birthday
twins stay around as another parent or adult takes the other
kids into another room for games or food etc. I can then perform
it again but just for the parents and the other child for
a photo opportunity. By doing this both children get to suspend
and do the illusion, but you take the heat off of you by not
repeating it in the show itself.
When
handled in this fashion, it usually works ideal. I hope if
you ever run into this situation that these helpful tips will
be of service to you.
As
always, I encourage you the readers to let me know your thoughts.
So if you have any thoughts on my articles or suggestions
or comments, please feel free to e-mail me directly at magic4u02@aol.com.
I would love to hear from you.

AD:
many of today's current performers can credit you and ABC
Magic with
their start.
PF:
Well. yes Tony, that is indeed so .many of the current Irish
close up magicians gained their first experience working on
an ABC Magic event.
AD:
You yourself have done quite a few corporate gigs and TV .
PF:
Yes, I have been blessed. Throughout my career I have close
to one hundred television appearances, numerous radio interviews
and performances under my belt. Not all of them were things
to be proud of particularly a daytime chat show which was
dealing with the subject of S&M antics in the bedroom
where I had to open the lock on a chastity belt without a
key. The things we do for money.
AD:
Hmmm! Actually , I kinda like the sound of that kind of Magic
on TV .. very Avant Garde..makes picking locks much more visually
interesting .. Maybe we should get together pool our skills
and resources and create a new style of Magic. but where to
find 5 Virgins in Chastity belts???
PF:
An exciting thought ..I start the research first thing tomorrow.
So I'm joint Executive Producer on this with all the perks
that go with that .
AD:
He! He! Absolutely let's make some new history.. and speaking
of history, one of the shows made "history "on Irish
National TV did it not?
PF:
Yes that was very rewarding. The programme Christmas Showtime
with pop sensation Boyzone, featured a performance of mine
which was then chosen by RTE as one of the highlights of the
past 50 years of Irish television. To be perfectly honest
Tony, I did not think it was a great programme, but it was
of its day and probably because it was the bands first major
TV event it crept into that category. But who am I to question
their decision.
AD:
Well. you know what we experienced Pros say- "don't question
.take the applause, pick up the check and go home!!! He! He!
Anyway, you continue not just as a Performer but also as a
Consultant .
PF:
Thank you and yes Tony, I have worked as an Advisor and Consultant
for TV programmes, commercials, product launches, theatre
productions and a number of major movies including 'The Playboys',
'Mad about Mamba' and 'Breakfast on Pluto'.
AD:
But you still perform right?
PF:
Yes absolutely, you know how that is . it is in our DNA that
applause factor. I continue to tour my full evening show with
my new assistants Gill and Ana, I perform close-up magic in
restaurants and Shopping Centers and together with fellow
magician Stephen Thompson I present creative team building
events.

Message by Geoffrey Newton PRO
Great
Year
The IBM British Ring convention in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk,
UK, held from 26th - 30th September 2012 was a very successful
few days of Magic with approaching 500 attending this get
together amid the English sunshine. Whilst some may have had
reservations about it not being an all under one roof convention
the novelty of free transport on the "Dotto" trains
running regularly along the promenade more than made up for
it although, the distances were not excessive anyway. Many
reported enjoying the short seafront walk in such lovely improved
surroundings as very refreshing without using the trains,
so everyone was happy.
There
have been a few changes from previous years which, all in
all seemed to have been welcomed. For instance the registration
area, dealers' hall, dealers' demonstration theatre and refreshment
facilities being very much in one area has been favourably
commented on by many, so for starters it's probably one to
consider keeping for the future.
The
lectures and workshops were all well attended and received
and the competitions had interesting acts with a number of
awards being presented. Winner of the Close-up was Vadim with
in 2nd place Fay Presto and 3rd Will Gray. The Rovi Trophy
for skill with playing cards went to Alex Hansford. In the
stage competition the Theo Speaker Cup and £500 went
to Sean Alexander - The Confusionist. The Dittia Shield for
manipulation went to Dave Andrews together with £250.
The Craig Trophy for best dealers' display went to Astra Magic.
A special award this year went to Steve Evans in the form
of "Compere of the Year Trophy". Fay Presto also
won the Micro Marathon Competition.
The
tribute to the Van Buren Family was both a very interesting
nostalgic through to current life presentation featuring video
clips and live illusion performance narrating the story about
this greatly loved magical family.
The
convention Gala Dinner was one of the best I have attended
with short and witty speeches by President Brian Miller, International
President John Pye and the Worshipful Mayor of Great Yarmouth
Councillor Colleen Walker. The Masonic Centre is a lovely
venue, the meal excellent and served with the most professional
and courteous staff. Nothing was too much trouble and it was
a treat to be there. I was delighted to see amongst the diners
the Immediate Past President Vanni Pulé and his lady
MaryAnne and The Rt.Hon. Lord McGregor of Pulham Market PC
OBE supporting us.
Our
open performances on Saturday, Sooty's Magic Show and the
Gala Show proved to be excellent ambassadors of magic not
just in our own eyes but in those of the public too. Both
attracted good attendances.
On
the Sunday after the service, lecture, stars of the future
and the Paul Daniels Q & A session John 'Sly' Smith od
Cheadle Hulme in Cheshire was installed as the President and
looks forward to meeting many members during the next year.
The
organisers should be congratulated in bringing to the south
east coast a well thought out convention which seems to have
been enjoyed by one and all.
The
2013 convention will be held in Buxton (Derbyshire) from the
4th to 8th September, the headquarters hotel is the Palace
and it's nearly all of it is under one roof. There were 50
registrations for this taken at Great Yarmouth. Further details
will be released as information becomes available. (photo:

others will take place in the Pavilion Gardens immediately

12. Working A Different Pitch
--------------------------------------------
Message by James James
As
a busking magician of over 10 years I've had my fair share
of mishaps, downtimes, and incredibly awesome experiences.
From having a whole audience walk on me, to having over 400
people all chanting my name.
The
streets are a fickle mistress, if you let it. If you don't
grow that thick skin.
One
of the main reasons for doing the streets is the income that
I generate from it, after committing myself to it over 10
years ago during an Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where I was
inspired by Nick Nickolas.
After
being taught by the man himself, Gazzo, I took to the streets
in earnest, traveling extensively and internationally.
But
this isn't about me and what I have done.
No!
It's
more of an insight into how different things can be when working
in a completely differing culture, to what we experience in
western countries.
As
I type this I am busking, courtesy of Genting Highlands Malaysia,
performing shows in the complex for six days a week.
What
makes it so different here, is that, although English is spoken
and some of the comedy elements are changed, there is still
a reservedness in most audiences that can frustrate a hard
core streetie.
The
people here are polite, kind, sometimes generous, albeit a
bit standoffish.
In
getting the 'money' as well, there is another big frustration.
The economy here, wages, salaries, and so on, are commensurate
with the cost of living here. That is to say, some of the
tips are 1 ringit, which is the smallest currency. That equates
to 30 Australian cents.
As
you can imagine, when one is used to $10 drops and more, and
bigger hats, one can get a wee bit 'bitter'.
There
is only one thing for it.
Do
more shows.
The
choices we make sometimes lead to paths we think better of
but then in that bitterness and frustration, comes that one
show which lifts you up, puts a smile on your face, and money
in ones hat.
Also
there are other bonuses..being able to have time to work on
new material, work on other projects, and get a bit fitter.
Malaysia
is a beautiful county, its people as said, are kind and giving,
but when it comes to busking it is a whole new experience
for them. That's why I reckon it's a harder life for a busker
here.
I'm
sure the same applies to stage, cabaret, or standup style
of performance. Any performer worth that title, will have
to adapt, adjust, and alter accordingly, what they do, to
fit with a different culture...
Just
a thought.

16. Magic At The Beach 2013
--------------------------------------------
Message by Mike Heidtman
Event Coordinator, MATB2013
Magic
at the Beach is pleased to announce the addition of two incredible
acts to our already awesome lineup.
Unexpectedly
magician Dana Daniels has had to step back from our line-up,
but we will continue to add some of the World's Greatest Magicians
to make Magic at the Beach an unforgettable event!
For
our first addition we welcome Andrew Goldenhersh.
Andrew
Goldenhersh ranks among today's elite masters of magic, drawing
thunderous acclaim around the globe. His skill and style have
mesmerized audiences from Hollywood to the Far East, and all
points in between. A perennial honoree at the legendary Magic
Castle, Andrew has received accolades from the prestigious
Academy of Magical Arts. Having been voted the Academy's "Parlour
Magician of the Year" in 2009 & 2010, Andrew is the
only magician to have been nominated for both Close-up Magician
of the Year and Parlour Magician of the Year for twelve years
in a row.
Andrew
is held in high esteem by his peers in entertainment, including
Las Vegas superstar Lance Burton (who calls him a "genius")
and the world renowned David Copperfield (who licensed and
performs one of Andrew's signature routines). The celebrity
list of whom Andrew has entertained includes Johnny Depp,
Ringo Starr, Pink, Sheryl Crow, Rod Stewart, Dustin Hoffman,
Nicolas Cage, Jason Alexander, Demi Moore, Teri Hatcher, Tony
Shalhoub, Steve Carrell, Jane Fonda, Robin Leach, Michael
Ovitz and many more. You too can join the list by registering
for Magic at the Beach 2013.
Our
second act to be added is Michael Trixx, America's favorite
Rock N' Roll
Magician. With a background in music Trixx combines his two
passions, Rock N' Roll and Magic to give an unforgettable
performance. With live doves and parakeets appearing and vanishing
from thin air, levitations, confetti blizzards, fire magic
and more all make for a rockin' good time.
Trixx
has been seen on NBC's America's Got Talent and at clubs all
over the States and London and is the 2009 Florida State Magic
Convention's Stage Show Contest Champion. In addition, Trixx
holds two First Place Stage Magic Awards from Magic at the
Beach. Be sure to catch The Rockin' Magic Of Michael Trixx,
in the "Champions of Magic" Gala Show.
