4. News From Chicago
---------------------------------------------
Message by Danny Orleans
The
exhibition 'MAGIC' which has been open to the public at the
Chicago History Museum on the north side of Chicago since
June, will be coming to a close on January 6.
It
details the history of magicians who got their start, or spent
time performing in Chicago during the last century. Three
rooms of the museum are filled with magic antiques from yesteryear,
including a milk can used by Houdini, Jack Gwynne's Temple
of Benarres, Dorny's prop case, costumes from Blackstone,
Celeste Evans and Marshall Brodein.
There
is also a cool 12-minute experience in an intimate multimedia
object theatre which contains a blue room effect. Danny Orleans
will be performing close-up magic for guests on weekends and
every day between Christmas and New Years. If you live in
the Chicago area, or are passing through during the holidays,
don't miss this unique opportunity to enjoy an exhibition
that will never be repeated again.

5. The Best $1 You Will Ever Spend!
--------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Stone (US)
I
have come across what I believe to be one of the most valuable
promotional and publicity ideas for any performer or entertainer
that I have seen for many years! Its impact is long lasting
and the results that it can achieve for you are simply amazing!
Best of all, it is incredibly cost effective.
I
would be happy to share the details with any Magic NZ subscriber.
Just send an email to me at qualityevents@aol.com and attach
a couple of your promo photos, as high resolution as possible,
and a brief description of your show - no more than 50 words
- and include your mailing address. I'll send you in the mail
everything you need to give it a try. The reaction you will
get will blow you away!
But
DON'T send me the $1. Instead, please donate it to a local
Children's Charity in memory of the victims of the Newtown
tragedy. Thank you.

6. Remarkable Magic #60 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
Concerning
the Contract.
I
gave a few personal ideas about handling phone calls and enquiries
last week and want to finish up with a few related thoughts
in this week's column. I want to also take this opportunity
to wish all our readers a very happy holiday season and a
great 2013.
The
contract is a very important item to any performer. Because
it ensures that the gig will happen and you will get your
check? No. However, it should make sure that you have all
your booking details correct and that the business side is
taken correctly taken care of. The contract is seldom going
to ensure that the client lives up to his word and it is almost
never going to be worth your while pursuing legal action if
they don't. You still need to handle it shrewdly.
The
most important details to cover on your contract are:
1.
The date and approximate timing of the gig.
2.
The exact contact details of your client.
3.
The exact location and address of your gig.
4.
Relevant details about expenses i.e. travel and hotel.
5.
The duration of your performance.
6.
Details of whom to contact when you arrive on site.
7.
Any special requests or requirements i.e. what is suitable
wardrobe.
8.
Details about your technical requirements. This will often
include the email and phone contact for the AV team who will
be in charge of the event.
9.
Your technical requirements.
10.
Exact details about your fee, including how, when and by whom
it will be paid.
Most
of the above is really self-explanatory, but let's cover the
all-important tenth detail - your fee and how it is paid.
My
personal rule of thumb is to ALWAYS require a 50% deposit
to be returned with the contract to hold the date, and the
remaining 50% to be paid prior to show time on the date of
the booking. This is the way to cover your time and energy
and insure that there are no last minute cancellations that
leave you with no salary and a hole in your schedule.
The
key phrasing is '50% to hold the date', that way if the date
is cancelled or changed then you have half your fee to cover
your efforts. I have only had a tiny percentage of clients
express a problem with this, and if they have a problem then
it tells me that I may have a problem down the line. If the
date is changed then you can offer to apply the deposit to
another booking if you are able to adjust your schedule.
The
reason for the full payment prior to show time is so that
you get your payment while you still have some leverage. Once
you have performed the show then it is all too easy to find
that you are placed on a 'billing cycle' and are waiting 30
or 60 days for a check. Entertainment is cash upon delivery
service - end of story.
You
shouldn't think of this kind of payment plan as being fussy,
demanding or 'out of line' but simply correct business etiquette.
Just state, in a friendly and matter of fact manner that this
is the way you handle your bookings. The way you structure
your payments is a much greater protection than anything else
on your contract. If you are a professional then expect to
be treated like one.
Accompanying
your contract should be a technical rider that states exactly
what you need supplied to fulfill your side of the contract.
If you need a microphone, lighting or a place to set your
props - then let the booker know about it in advance. Don't
arrive on site expecting to get anything you haven't specified
in advance, you might or then again you might not, why take
a chance.
One
contractual clause that has paid great benefits to me relates
to video assist during your show. A corporate client sometimes
asks if they can use 'I-mag' to enhance your show or film
the show for their corporate records. I never have a problem
with this but always insist that I am supplied with a copy
of the tape. Here is your next potential promo tape, and if
you don't ask for it you won't get it!
You
can check out my product line, order items and check out cool
videos on my website. I have been receiving rave reviews for
my 'Ultimate Linking Finger Ring Routine' and 'Cruise Magic
101'. You can find my website at

7. Simple But Fun Idea - #284 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.kyleandkellymagic.com
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
I
always like to remind myself that my show and routines are
about entertainment value. It is about smiles and laughter.
Not everything I do has to warrant a WOW response or reaction.
As many of us know, you need to make the journey as much fun
as the destination.
Whenever
I am doing shows, I love creating interactive fun between
helper/s on stage. I want the interaction and the laughter
and the ability to improvise off situations that come up.
To me this allows the show to feel a bit more spontaneous.
One
thing I do I wanted to share with you. It is the usage of
a clear change bag. You can get them most anywhere and they
come in a variety of styles. I have several and use different
ones for different purposes.
One
thing I love to do is to have an adult and a child on stage
at the same time. I empower the child and have fun with the
adult. The adult can handle it and knows what is going on
and the child ends up feeling and looking like a million bucks.
What
I do is to bring them both up on stage and state we are going
to have a contest. The contest is to test who is smarter.
First we need to see what the audience thinks. When I place
my hand above the helpers head the audience will gauge by
their round of applause. When I go over to the child helper,
I prime the audience to shout and clap a ton. Very easy to
do as I walk over and stand to the side and back of the child.
When
I go over to the adult, I prime the audience to stay quiet.
Also very easy to do. Already it gets a lot of laughs and
gives me a chance to improvise based off what the helpers
may say.
For
the change bag, what I do is make up what looks like Trivia
Cards. Very easy to design them and print them out on card
stock. Each one has a question printed on it as well as the
answer on the back. I also make sure they are branded with
my colors and branding. This helps extend my marketing.
The
idea here is that half of the trivia cards have super easy
questions on them and the other half have questions that are
absolutely impossible to answer.
For
example, the easy card might say:
"State
your first name.you have 10 seconds"
The
harder question might be:
What is the square root of 1,564,322..you have 2 seconds to
answer"
So
you may see where this is going. All the easy questions go
on one side of the clear change bag and the had questions
go on the other side. When handled and show to audience, it
just looks like a plain bag of trivia cards. You can have
both helpers pull out a card or so to show some are hard and
some easy.
When
it comes to the actual game, the child ALWAYS gets an easy
question and the adult ALWAYS gets a super hard one. It looks
totally fair and innocent in every way. The child looks awesome
and the adult helps you out by taking some of the laughter
in good spirit.
The
questions can be very hilarious just as the situation is as
they see the kid getting easier and easier questions to answer.
The possibilities of Improvisation are huge.
I
use this at scout banquets with the scout master and a Webelo
scout. I do this contest to see who get selected to place
their finger in the Finger Chopper to test bravery and strength
in scouting.
There
are many possibilities for using this as a standalone or as
a segue into a trick or effect.
Have
fun with it and give it a try. Loads of laughs and interaction.
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.

8. In Conversation with Pat Fallon - #14
--------------------------------------------
Message by Anthony Darkstone Brook - Europe/USA
www.patfallonmagic.com
AD:
Winning gave you an International boost and did you a lot
of good in
Ireland too.
PF:
I'll say it did, yes . Back home it generated lots of interest
in the Press and on Radio and Television which all helped
to improve my profile as an International performer. We began
touring our own show performing in schools, theatres and at
the numerous festivals held around the country. We kept it
tight by doing everything ourselves, from the marketing, to
working the sound and lighting and selling the merchandise
after each event. Unlike others who had tried similar things
we actually made money because we kept the overheads down.
A
Dublin Solicitor, John Schutte who put himself through college
performing magic built up a very successful business because
of his marketing. He specialized in the field of personal
injury law and his marketing was so good and innovative no
one else could keep pace with him. I met John through the
magic society and it was he who thought me the importance
of good honest marketing. I realized very early on in my life
that good information can come from the most unusual places.
AD:
Don't know him but I totally support that view .
PF:
As do I Tony. Yes it was great when we worked on bigger shows
and had a Tour Manager, road crew and sound and lighting technicians,
but when the budget did not allow for such luxuries we were
never too proud to get our hands dirty if it meant staying
in profit.
ABC
Magic at that time also branched out into the dealing business,
marketing original effects and buying and selling second hand
props and illusions. It was another stream of income and something
we could work at in our down time when not on the road. Life
was good and getting better all the time. Work was plentiful
so we were able to move to a bigger house in the country and
set our sights on purchasing a property abroad with an eye
to the future.
After
living together for ten years Tanya and I decided to get married
much to the delight of our family and friends who shared in
the two day celebration party. When it appeared that life
could just not get any better, it suddenly jumped up and bit
me in the rear .
AD:
Wonderful at first and. I can empathize. there's always that
sting in the tail ..please continue
PF:
Yes. It has been said there is nothing like marriage to ruin
a good relationship and for some unknown reason that turned
out to be the case. After five very good happy years of marriage
it disintegrated over a period of a couple of months and our
sixteen year relationship eventually ended badly. It could
not have come at a worse time as the Irish economy imploded,
the property market collapsed and the corporate entertainment
business disappeared overnight in the worst recession this
country has ever known.It had all been far too easy for so
long that it was difficult going back to knocking on doors
chasing work. It was reminiscent of the late eighties only
a lot worse, so I had no choice but to introduce another five
year plan. Being a lot older now does not make it any easier,
but at least this time I had the knowledge that the five year
plan will take five years and to date progress is good.
End
of Part 14
Part 15
AD: So what does the future hold for Pat Fallon?
PF:
Well, I have always looked upon myself as a work in progress
and hopefully will remain so as long as I have life in my
body. I am working on a new dove act, rehearsing some new
cabaret material and writing up many of the routines that
have put bread on my table for my new lecture.
I
am also working on a different type of stage show with a former
TV producer/director, and past president of the Society of
Irish Magicians Joe O'Donnell, who is a multi award winning
writer of plays and short stories. I am really excited about
this project as it will be something completely different
from anything I have ever done before, but further than that
I cannot say anything else for the moment.
I
have so much to be grateful for doing a job that I have never
looked upon as a job. I have so many wonderful friends in
the business all over the globe and thankfully I still love
performing as much as ever.
I
have already mentioned on several occasions during this conversation
Neville Wiltshire and Quentin Reynolds as inspirational in
my life, but if I was to start listing the number of other
prominent magicians who helped me with my career in magic
it would end up like a who's who of magic. Those who always
went way beyond the call of duty as far as I am concerned
were Roy Johnson, Geoff Durham, Ali Bongo, Pat Page, Billy
McComb, Paul Daniels and Debbie Magee. These people always
had time to discuss every aspect of the business and were
never too busy to hand out helpful tips and advice whenever
I needed it. I miss Ali, Billy and Pat very much as any time
spent in their company, even socially was never wasted. I
noticed with them even if I was only on the fringe of someone
else's problem I usually found there was something to be learned
from the experience.
AD:
You got my vote. Didn't know Dr.Billy that well but I spent
a great deal of quality time with Pat and Ali and I shall
always cherish with great gratitude those times.
PF:
Yes Tony I agree. We were indeed fortunate. There were lots
of other people who may, or may not, be so well known worldwide
in the business who contributed in no small way to the advancement
of my career. Mike Sheppard of York was brave enough to book
me for my first lecture outside of Ireland in Barnsley of
all places and Tony Griffith who booked my first two lecture
tours in the UK and then countries further afield. Clive Leewarden
from the Card Collection who helped me to market my first
effect, The Ultimate Irish Three Card Trick and Morley Budden
from Kaymar Magic who sold so many of the trick that he maintains
it was his biggest selling close-up trick ever.
It
would be very remiss of me at this time not to mention the
two guys who for many years ran great conventions in Limerick.
Paddy Ward and Vincent Finnucaine gave me the opportunity
to appear on shows and hang out with some fantastic people
including the great Harry Blackstone Junior, on what was his
only appearance ever in Ireland. My friend of the last thirty
years Joe Hoey also deserves a special mention as his wisdom
is always invaluable. When life was not so good and I was
too focused on the problems that were surrounding me he was
the one who gave me some very sound advice "Forget about
the problems in your life, just concentrate on getting your
act and your business sorted out and everything else will
fall into place".
End of Part 15
Part
16
AD: What a great piece of advice ..I'm "stealing"
that line.
PF:
Yes .. I know what you mean. I think all too often we focus
on the problem and not on the solution, or we set unobtainable
goals without concentrating on the things we need to get us
there. Joe reminded me that the definition of luck was preparation
meeting opportunity, so it is important to prepare well for
every opportunity.
This
is something I fear that many younger magicians need to correct
as they focus too much on becoming famous and neglect the
fact that they need something to catapult into that orbit.
If they spent as much time on developing their magical abilities
as they do on their social media profile they would do more
to raise the awareness of magic in the public domain. The
problem is that their publicity promises so much, but they
deliver so little that it is of no benefit to anyone, especially
themselves.
In
the long term this has a detrimental effect on the magic business
on the whole. Bad magic has and always will keep magical entertainment
on the fringe of show business. It's all about percentages,
the number of good magicians and amazing magic that the public
get to see compared to the amount of bad stuff they are subjected
to will keep it that way for the foreseeable future.
I
don't think it has to be like that if only magicians would
put in the time and effort to improve their performance and
clean up themselves and their acts it could go a long way
to improving the public perception of magic overall.
I
am really grateful to you Tony for giving me this opportunity
in a down-time period to chat to you about some of my favourite
people and things so I would love to share with you a quote
that hangs above my desk. It is something we should all remember
when we are trying to sell ourselves;
"When
your work speaks for itself don't interrupt."
AD:
Great quote! I'm "stealing" that too! I like down-time
and it seems we have now got to the point of totally chillaxing
. it has been a blast Pat and a great joy to spend time in
your company. Thank you kindly.
PF:
My pleasure entirely Tony and before you call it a wrap can
I ask a question?
AD: Sure. Go for it.
PF:
Next time you and I are in England in a bar, can you bring
a handful of some bloody Ten Pound notes??????!!!
AD:
He! He! Done!!! You got it and a matching set of Vegas showgirls!!!
As always Pat, many thanks and break a leg.
PF:
Most welcome Tony and I look forward to hanging with you again
real soon.

11. Jeff Mcbride's Magic Wonderground Celebrates Its Third
Year
--------------------------------------------
Message by Tobias Beckwith
Jeff
McBride's Magic Wonderground celebrates its third smash year
at The Olive!
Las Vegas, Dec. 15, 2012 - Jeff McBride's Wonderground at
The Olive on Sunset celebrates its third anniversary on December
20th. Each third Thursday for the past three years, a diverse
group of magicians, variety artists, body painters, musicians,
burlesque stars, slam poets, belly dancers and others have
come together to entertain an ever-growing audience of in-the-know
Las Vegans and out-of-towners at the Olive Grill on Sunset
as part of Jeff McBride's Wonderground. And now The Wonderground
is set to launch into its 4th smash year!
During
the past year, Jeff McBride and his Wonderground phenomenon
has inspired similar events, including ones in Milwaukee,
WI (hosted by magician Dan Pollack), Rumford, ME (hosted by
Scott Grassette), and now, "The Wonderland" in Louisville,
KY, hosted by Ray Smerlin. Each of the spin-offs was inspired
by a visit from McBride to that city while on tour, and subsequent
visits by the sponsors to the once-monthly event in Las Vegas.
Each has its own distinct flavor, but maintains the basic
format created by McBride for the continuing Las Vegas event.
Jeff
McBride Wonderground is an experience that has evolved over
time. McBride started experimenting with the concept almost
8 years ago. It all began in McBride's "Wonderdome,"
an experimental inflated dome set up in a secret warehouse
location, (then by invitation only), then moved to Palace
Station in the fall of 2008, where it materialized once each
week, following the Friday night performances of McBride's
stage show, Magic at the Edge.
After
a year off, The Wonderground re-opened at the newly created
nightclub at the Olive Grill, on East Sunset, where it has
lived ever since. The event continues to grow and evolve each
month - on a recent third Thursday, there were long lines
waiting to get in from about 8pm on.
The
Las Vegas magic and variety arts community has made The Wonderground
it's special home away from home over the past couple of years.
On a given night, one might spot Mac King, Lance Burton or
Criss Angel at one of the tables. Jan Reuven often drops by,
as well as Kevin James and Kevin Burke. Even Seigfried has
been spotted on more than one occasion. McBride states, "I
love creating a space where all my friends in magic can come
and feel comfortable which visiting with one another. And
of course, the star power in the room adds another level to
the experience for the general public who comes to experience
this always changing, one of a kind event each month!"
Jeff
McBride, creator of The Wonderground is a long-time Las Vegas
favorite. He started coming here when he was still in his
20's, as an opening act for Diana Ross. First tapped as a
headliner for the 1980's revue "Bal de Moulin Rouge,"
at the Hilton, he was later one of the headlining shows in
Caesars Magical Empire's Sultan's Palace.
He
has toured the world with his shows, but "Magic at the
Edge" several years ago at Palace Station was his first
time bringing the full evening to Las Vegas. Living here for
the past 14 years, McBride still performs around the world
in between Vegas engagements. He is the founder of the McBride
Magic & Mystery School, named by the BBC as the "world's
most prestigious school of magic," which makes Las Vegas
it's home, as well.
Recently,
several of the Wonderground evenings have been hosted by McBride's
wife, Abigail. The reason? He has been touring in South America
along with 7 of the world's other top magicians in "The
Illusionists," perhaps the world's largest touring magic
extravaganza. While Jeff has thus far managed to make it home
to Vegas at least every other month, Abbi has proven to be
an able Mistress of Ceremonies for the every growing, every
changing celebration that is The Wonderground.
