3. Missing San Jose Magician

Message by Phil Temple (US)
You've
probably been notified of this already, but in case you
haven't, the missing magician, Stanley Jacobson, Jr., was
found stabbed to death this past week in his apartment.
The apartment had reportedly been checked weeks before without
any luck in finding him, but this time he was there - dead!
His "girlfriend" is being questioned as a person
of interest.

4. Review Of John Kaplan's lecture In Auckland, New Zealand
---------------------------------------------
Message from Paul Romhany (NZ)
John
Kaplan's lecture in Auckland really could have changed somebody's
life. A good turnout from a variety of ages showed that
his material appealed to every kind of performer. The lecture
was in two parts. The first John performed and explained
routines from his working repertoire including his huge
hit release Killer Cut. An incredibly visual and mind boggling
effect where a silk is placed in a piece of newspaper, both
are cleanly cut and shown apart, then both restored.
John
has the ability to take an old effect and really spend time
working on it and creating something that is far superior.
My other favorite was his Bogart Newspaper Tear. I had the
opportunity to see John perform this routine in a live theatre
show back in Canada and blow the audience away. He has taken
one of the oldest tricks in magic, that you see everybody
perform and give it such a novel presentation. It still
played well in the lecture room and the magicians really
loved it. John's effects are all commercial and work under
any condition, perfect for New Zealand magicians.
The
second part of his lecture was where the local guys really
struck gold. John performs his 34th year when he gets back
to Canada this week with his Fundraising Touring show. He
has made an incredible full time living from doing tours
raising money for every type of organisation and school
you can imagine. There is nobody in the world I know in
this business who has created a system like John has. He
went into detail about how he puts together his tours and
how he gets clients. Forget the 'percentage' idea most fundraising
people think about, John has a sure fire way for him to
get his money and the sponsor to make over $10,000 for one
event!!
I've
never seen anything like it and it was inspiring. I know
several magicians purchased his course in which he goes
into detail about everything he has worked on for the past
34 years and I hope these people put it in to practice.
Nobody
in New Zealand is doing what John has done, and I can see
a huge market for any perform, whether it be a magician,
hypnotist, puppeteer, or musician with a show to take what
John has done and apply it to the New Zealand market and
made a huge amount of money working year round with his
system.
The
most amazing thing was the deal John offered those interested
- a bargain that could change the life of any performer!!
I hope those that purchased it really take the time and
go through it and put it in to practice, and become successful
with the fundraising tour. As I said, nobody in New Zealand
is doing anything like this way he does.
John,
thank you and Heather for coming our way and sharing your
fun and knowledge with us all.

6. Remarkable Magic #292 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
Remembering
Hal Spear.
There
was very sad news on the Internet yesterday about the passing
of Hal Spear. Hal was a long time magician and comedian
who was a creative and delightful force in both areas. Born
in Livingston, New Jersey he was now living in Las Vegas,
Nevada - like so many other magicians and comedians.
An
avid magician from an early age, Hal was creative and persistent
in his approach to magic. Ultimately he moved more into
the comedy sphere than the magic world. However he never
lost his interest in magic and brought his encyclopedic
knowledge of comedy to bear on his first love.
As
a comedy writer Spear wrote for such shows as, 'The Drew
Carey Show,' The
Tonight Show,' 'The Arsenio Hall Show,' 'The Howie Mandel
Show' and many others. He also wrote for comedians such
as Rodney Dangerfield, Jay Leno, Howie Mandel, Rosie O'Donnell,
Tim Allen and Rich Jeni. He was one funny guy.
As
a performer Hall (Chickie to his friends) was seen on numerous
TV shows and appeared in every kind of live venue. His comedy
was always fresh and smart. He was a true comedian's comedian.
However, he never forgot or abandoned his magical roots.
The last full day I spent with Hal was in Victoria BC when
we visited Murray Hatfield's magic store and had a delightful
lunch with Murray and Eric Bedard.
You
can share some of Hal's talents in three excellent releases
he has recently made via Paul Romhany's online magic store.
They are 'The Amazing Twenty Dollar Bill Trick.' 'CSI-The
Case of the Half Died Hanky,' and his superb book of comedy
routines 'Extreme Magic Makeover-Comedy Classics.' It is
an education to see what a real comedy writer can do in
routining magic. They are highly recommended. Check out
details at www.halspear.com
It
is amazing how many brilliant minds are fascinated by magic
at an early age, and how often they retain that interest.
Hal Spear was a true lover of magic and one of the most
friendly and generous people you could hope to meet. He
is the kind of person that magic needs more of. I don't
claim to be one of Hal's closest friends but I wish I had
of been, he enriched my life immensely by the contact we
had.
If
you want to watch Hal perform comedy then look him up on
YouTube, where he is well represented, and settle back to
laugh. The comedy and magic world are both smaller and less
interesting places with his passing. I will miss him.
I
have some great products and videos online. Check them out
on my web site.

As most folks know...or maybe do not know....I am a deaf
magician. I started losing my hearing at age 8 and it got
worse as the years rolled on. I am now about 60-65% deaf
in both ears. I lip read to understand what people say and
I tend to feel music more than hear it.
There
are many magicians out there who have various disabilities.
I commend them for never giving up or giving in. Magic for
me was a saving grace. It brought me out of my shyness and
helped me to learn to communicate better and focus more.
In a way magic was a healing art for me.
If
you are reading this and have a disability (or know someone
interested in magic that has one) I hope that it inspires
you to go out there and get involved in the art. We do not
have to stop doing what we love simply because it may be
harder for us. What we must do is have a desire to go above
and beyond and push ourselves to simply adapt.
Magic
and performing magic was a challenge for me and still is
in some degrees. That does not mean I have to stop doing
it. It does not mean I have to settle for second best. If
the desire is there, work hard to come up with a means in
which to accomplish what you want to accomplish. There is
always a way to make it work for you.
Although
I can't hear music well at all, I adapted my sound system
so I can feel the vibrations from the speaker hitting my
leg or through my shoes. This gives me a means in which
to stay on cue. I could have easily given up and told myself
music is something I can't use or do. But having a disability
does not mean I have to settle for anything less than anyone
else.
Sure
it may be harder and sure it may take longer. However, working
hard is something everyone does who has a passion for the
art.
I
never say any of this for folks to feel sorry for me. I
do not feel sorry for myself. For you see, to me this is
a gift. Although I cannot hear the world like you all can,
I can SEE the world in ways others simply can't. It makes
me love the art of magic even more. It makes me realize
that through my magic I can make a person smile or laugh.
Isn't that the greatest form of magic there is?
My
disability has given me the chance to share magic and a
powerful message with audiences I perform for. Through this
wonderful art, I can let audiences know about deaf culture.
I can share the message of overcoming hurdles people face
in life. I can share a strong anti-bullying message with
students because I have lived it first-hand.
I
write this article as a way of reaching out to you all of
us are faced with hardships in life. Some of us though a
physical disability and others simply through the roadblocks
of life. Never let these stop your pursuit of learning and
performing magic. It can heal you and can also heal your
audiences in ways you never dreamed of.
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. Magic - Art, Craft Or Neither - Part 3
--------------------------------------------
Message by Anthony Darkstone - USA/Europe
At
the beginning of this series, I mentioned that I would be
including thoughts and musings from various guests who have
kindly shared their perspectives. This week I am delighted
to continue to welcome Ivonne Perez Montijo
For
just over 3 decades, has been active in Film & TV. She
is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and has also written
and produced independent short films and theatrical productions.
Her "day job" has been as "Pinky the Clown",
performing magic and entertaining young children all over
Los Angeles. Ivonne has a B.A. in Spanish Literature with
a minor in Theatre & Film from U.C.L.A. and a M.A. in
Religious Studies from C.S.U.L.B.
She
is currently studying music theory, piano, and guitar at
Long Beach City College. Ivonne is first and foremost a
writer and a story teller. She has written numerous poems
over the years and her work can be found on :- www.ivonnemontijo.wordpress.com.
I
have not read all her written work but from the writings
that I have perused , it is indeed praiseworthy. Her conceptual
thinking and phraseology are superb. I have publicly stated
that some aspects of her work flow in a similar vein to
Kahlil Gibran. She is also currently developing her thesis,
"Mary Magdalene: Beloved Wife and Disciple of Jesus
of Nazareth" into a book. I am eagerly looking forward
to this as the topic has interested me for some 50 years.
She also has a page dedicated to inspiring thoughts on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/ForTheLoveOfYou.April2012
For
reasons that will become apparent as you read the following
words, I am both deeply appreciative and delighted that
she responded to my request to contribute to the topic.
Of necessity, the Editor and I have chosen to publish it
in installments over the next few weeks.
The
Art of Magic - Part 3
By Ivonne Perez Montijo, M.A.
Mircea
Eliade states, "For of course, the shaman is also a
magician and medicine man; he is believed to cure, like
all doctors, and to perform miracles of the fakir type,
like all magicians, whether primitive or modern. In ancient
Egypt and biblical days, the priests were magicians. Go
back to Moses battling it out with the magicians of Pharaoh
in his attempts to free the Hebrew slaves. In Exodus 8:7
it states, "But the magicians did the same by their
secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt."
In
Acts 8:9-13 we find the following, "But there was a
man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the
city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself
was somebody great. They all paid attention to him, from
the least to the greatest, saying, 'This man is the power
of God that is called Great.' And they paid attention to
him because for a long time he had amazed them with his
magic."
Johnny
Thompson, has stated that, "At one time we held a lot
of power until they caught a guy switching bricks at the
last second, a gold one for a real one, you know. But till
then we were held in pretty high esteem now we have had
to turn it into an art form instead of a religious form-

10. IBM British Ring Convention
--------------------------------------------
A message by Geoffrey Newton (UK)
The
IBM British Ring convention organisers now have quite a
list of artistes, lecturers and events planned for the 2013
get together being held in Buxton, Derbyshire, England from

Gardens will cater for most of the events so let's look
at what is on offer. From the USA comes Skilldini, David
Kaplan and Tim Wright, from Spain Eduardo Galeano and also
many well-known UK performers.
The
Jeffrey Atkins Memorial Lecture will be presented by Fergus
Roy on the
Davenport Story whilst Steve Short interviews Ian Adair
on his life in magic which I am sure will have plenty about
the Supreme Magic Company in it. A tribute to the late Alan
Shaxon will also be part of the convention programme.
The
gala show will be compered by Vincent Hays MBE, well known
to many of you for his many appearances at Brick Lane Music
Hall in London.
Ricky
McLeod will present the children's lecture, and 'Sooty's
Magic Show' with Richard Cadell will be the children's show
on the Saturday morning. Guest entertainers on this show
will be announced soon.
There
is to be a Gala of Youth with Ed Hilsum and Megan Knowles-Bacon

12. Bag Of Tricks Documentary
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kevin Spencer (US)
Executive Producer: Bag of Tricks Documentary
My
name is Kevin Spencer. My childhood passion for magic turned
into a 30-year career that has enabled me to create and
perform one of the largest theatrical illusion touring shows
in the world. I never believed I could achieve greater satisfaction
than traveling the globe performing magic. but it turns
out I was wrong.
Through
my own personal tragedy and, more recently, my association
with some extraordinary individuals, I've learned that mastering
even the simplest magic trick can be one of the most satisfying
and therapeutic activities one can do.
I've
long been a believer in the power of the arts to positively
impact the quality of people's lives. My commitment to that
belief has taken me down some interesting paths. One of
the most rewarding has been working with people who struggle
daily with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
In
2010, I accepted an Adjunct Faculty position in the Occupational
Therapy Department at the University of Alabama in Birmingham
to research the physical and psychosocial benefits of integrating
simple magic tricks into the therapy and education of individuals
with disabilities. The documented results, much of which
has been published in several international research journals,
are nothing short of phenomenal.
You
may be asking how mastering a simple magic trick can have
such a positive effect. The biggest reason is that the art
of magic has the ability to capture and hold the attention
of people of all ages. Children especially are intrigued
by the seeming impossibility of a magic trick. By tapping
into their natural curiosity, we can teach them to perform
magic tricks and the results are improvement in their motor
skills and coordination, greater ability to organize tasks
and movements, and a tremendous boost in their confidence
and self-esteem. And equally important, this activity provides
them the opportunity to develop social skills that are so
often critical to their success and acceptance.
People
who have disabilities are often thought to be different
from the rest of us. They're not. They have hopes and dreams
just like everyone, but their future is often molded by
the attitudes and perceptions we have about them. As a society,
we have to stop focusing on their disabilities and start
appreciating their abilities. This film will allow them
to tell their stories in their own words in a compassionate
and captivating way. Their experiences can move us one step
closer to transforming our attitudes and fostering hope.
If
you agree that raising awareness is a positive step in changing
people's attitudes toward the disabled, then I hope you'll
see the value in making this film. Once it is completed,
we hope it will be shown in film festivals, community theatres,
on college campuses, in local churches, on television, and
anywhere else people gather. But we can only make this film
if people like you join us in this effort. I hope you will.
All contributions are tax-deductible in the USA.
Please,
watch the video. There's a lot more here than meets the
eye. The power of a simple magic trick may be the best magic
of all!

13. The Original Suspended Animation
--------------------------------------------
Message by John Taylor (Aust)
I
would like to announce and welcome Willie Kennedy from www.wkmagic.com
to
the official builders team for the Suspended Animation Illusion.
Due
to demand for the original Suspended Animation after 13
years I have decided to get a 2nd builder, so this now makes
Bill Smith and Willie Kennedy the ONLY official builders
in the world of the Suspended Animation illusion.
Please
Note: Buyer beware - There are many copy props and builders
like Tilford Illusions, StarTrixx, and 52 Magic that do
NOT have the rights to sell my invention, they never have
and never will. So if you hear of any other builder besides
Willie Kennedy and Bill Smith you know they are building
fake Suspended Animations.
Please
beware of poor quality imitations that could prove very
dangerous to you and your assistants as I have seen one
of these rip off props break at the pedestal causing near
total disaster!
Please
support original illusions and magic props by only buying
from the authorised builders who know how to build them
properly (and immaculately!) and understand the illusion
inside and out. For more info please check out www.suspendedanimationillusion.com
I urge Illusionists world-wide to please do what's right
and be ethical with all purchases otherwise creators like
myself and others will stop inventing as there's no point
in selling something that is going to get ripped off anyway.
Piracy is damaging all of us, the inventors, builders and
performers alike so please don't be a part of it and do
the right thing for you and the industry.

******If
you are planning to see this fabulous magic show make sure
you also
attend the Kevin James & Jeff Hobson Joint Lecture in
Auckland on Monday 27th May.*******
The
Illusionists:
* The Anti-Conjurer aka Dan Sperry - Shock illusions
* The Enchantress aka Jinger Leigh - Skills of grace and
gravity defiance
* The Escapologist aka Andrew Basso - Death defying escapes
* The Gentleman aka Mark Kalin - Classic magic reimagined
* The Inventor aka Kevin James - Magic inventions and ground
breaking illusions
* The Mentalist aka Philip Escoffey - Master of the unexplained
* The Trickster aka Jeff Hobson - Comedy magic. The biggest
selling magic show on earth will appear on The Civic stage
in May for a two week season featuring seven world grand
master magicians in The Illusionists: Witness the Impossible.
The
Illusionists: Witness the Impossible launched in January
2012 with a sell-out season at Sydney Opera House reaching
an audience of 31,000 in nine days, followed by a Mexico
City eight-day season with an audience of 42,000. More recently
the show packed out Adelaide Festival Centre and Queensland
Performing Arts Centre, and will visit Auckland before a
launching world tour from London's West End.
The
hand-picked cast of internationally renowned illusionists
together create a blockbuster stage show featuring a stunning
mix of their most outrageous and unbelievable optical illusions
including nail-biting Russian roulette, jaw-dropping acts
of levitation, mind-reading, disappearance and escapes.
This
show sees the magicians take their cue from the showmanship
of the great illusionists of the past - such as Houdini
- and combine it with contemporary sets, costume design,
technology and live band Z, best known as touring band for
Hip Hop legend NaS, to create a spell-binding family-friendly
blockbuster. Creative Producer Simon Painter says the show
is a world first, with each of the seven international illusionists
the best in their niche and together creating a 21st century
stage spectacular that will leave audiences spellbound.
"From
Dan Sperry's shock illusions to comedy magician Jeff Hobson
to Escapologist Andrew Basso who performs the Houdini inspired
underwater escape live on stage, there is no other group
of magicians who can deliver the mind-blowing entertainment
that The Illusionists do at every show.
"Kevin
James, The Inventor, is the man who created most of the
famous illusions and tricks that you'll see performed anywhere
in the world by top magicians, and we have him bringing
his favourite illusions to life as part of the show."
Robbie Macrae, Director of THE EDGE Performing Arts Centre
says that The Illusionists is a magic show like never before
seen in New Zealand and another major stage show for Auckland
and the rest of New Zealand to enjoy.
"We're
incredibly excited to have secured The Illusionists for
a season at The Civic. We haven't had a blockbuster magic
show of this kind in Auckland before and we know that the
theatricality and artistry of the show will completely
astonish our audiences."
