The highlight of the week for Michele and I was meeting Sal Piacente and his wife Dee who were in Auckland training dealers and management at the Auckland Casino. Sal presented an excellent impromptu lecture on gambling and scams which was very well received. His memory work was inspiring to all. For a review of his lecture see item 3.

3. Sal Piacente New Zealand Visit
--------------------------------------------
Message by Greg Chapman (New Zealand)

Sal Piacente Visit
Last night I attended the free informal talk given by Sal Piacente in Takapuna hosted by the Shore City Magicians Club Inc. in Takapuna, Auckland.

To say that I am very glad to have attended would be an under-statement.

I have been to dozens of lectures and talks given by magicians, and Sal's talk ranked as one of the most enjoyable I have ever attended. It was one of only two occasions where a lecturer or guest in New Zealand has not only exceeded my expectations but completely caught me off guard with their level of knowledge and expertise in their skill area, but most importantly with their commitment to ongoing learning and development.

Having become familiar with Sal's work around 10 years ago, I was somewhat familiar with several of the signature routines he opened his set with last night, which included his pseudo memory demonstration naming removed cards, followed by his ace cutting sequence, using riffle add-ons and packet estimation etc. I have performed his estimation ace cutting effect for many years. The casual and effortless manner with which he performed his opening set made it appear as though he was improvising, and seemed to catch most in attendance off guard, including myself.

Despite having seen all of the effects before, it felt great to be taken in just a little, by his almost nonchalant approach to delivering a very structured set, which he has no doubt performed many thousands of times in the exact same way. This was a great lesson in the power of a well thought out structure, and the first lesson of many that Sal shared during the following two hours.

Sal demonstrated a range of impressive draw poker, hold'em, and bridge routines, and discussed techniques and important tips on switching cards, signal play, tracking cards through legitimate shuffles and other cheating strategies. Sal also shared tips on handling cards in a natural way, and avoiding magicians tells when cutting and shuffling.

Throughout the talk he also showed a range of clips exposing techniques used in cheating including recent trending scams and strategies, and showed plenty of examples of gaming surveillance footage revealing real cheats at work.

Most enjoyable for me was Sal's work with memory and recall techniques which he expertly demonstrated a variety of ways. He was happy to answer questions about the techniques he uses, tipped a few methods and provided plenty of sources and information for those interested in studying the available literature further. Speaking of literature, Sal mentioned possibly releasing a book at some point in the future, which I would have no hesitation in buying sight unseen and without needing to see any reviews. I know it will be good.

Thanks Sal for sharing your expertise. It was great to meet you and I had a blast attending your talk. I hope to see you again the next time you visit New Zealand.

4. Calvert Tribute - Bill Rauscher
--------------------------------------------
Message by Michael Woolf (NZ)

I would like to place on record my gratitude and admiration to Bill Rauscher for making available the wonderful tribute to John and Tammy Calvert. I viewed this yesterday and admit to shedding more than one tear. Magicians know of the long friendship with John I am honoured and proud to acknowledge. This video recording of the complete 1995 performance is a superb memorial to the great man.

Watch it with pleasure and think of dear Tammy.

5. Remarkable Magic #326 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)

Learning to do consciously what we used to do unconsciously.

I want to introduce you to an insight that has been very helpful to me over the years and I hope that it might be of some use to you as well. I have touched on it before, but will go into a little more detail in this column.

I started performing magic (like most of us) at about the age of eleven, doing kids shows. I always consider my real performance career to have started at the age of 17 when I left school. I went on to attend the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London and study film at USC in Los Angeles, but was performing magic professionally while I attended both schools.

I like to break things down as saying it took me 20 years to learn what to do onstage and then another 20 years to learn how to make it look like I wasn't doing anything onstage. Once you have acquired the knowledge you need it is then very important that you then let it get out of the way so it doesn't interfere with the audience's enjoyment of what you do. Learn what you need to do and then make how you achieve it invisible.

I feel strongly that you should never let the audience see your technique but just watch your magic and enjoy your comedy. You don't want to make your show look like you are working too hard at making it work. Certainly there are moments when you want to focus their attention and highlight a reveal by emphasizing the skill needed, but a little of that goes a long way. The law of diminishing returns also applies-big time.

It is not an easy thing to obscure your technique onstage, but it begins with knowing what you are doing so thoroughly that you don't need to think about it for a single moment. This allows you to 'be in the moment' while you are performing. Any actor or comedian will tell you that 'being in the moment' is the most powerful skill that you can acquire in mastering your art form. It allows you to make the best of each and every situation.

We run the risk as magicians of upsetting a part (sometimes quite a large part) of our audiences by appearing to be merely in the business of fooling people. Some people like to be fooled but never forget that many do not. The audience members can think we are being smart-ass or condescending if we are not very careful.

Being in the moment, and removing the unnecessary static of technique, from our performance can free up the appearance that we are performing 'at' an audience. The mark of a strong comedy magician is usually that he/she appears to be just having fun onstage and that the magic happens on its own. This is a fairly subtle state of affairs to fully grasp and is tough to fully define, much less achieve.

Curiously enough this idyllic condition tends to occur fairly naturally when we are first beginning to perform shows. You just get out there and do the show without thinking too much about it. After a while you start to think about it, and the early naturalness and freshness disappears like morning dew in the sunlight.

Once this has happened you then have to re-create that earlier state of innocence, a state that is often highly appealing to an audience. Bob Dylan made a wonderful statement that is very relevant to this process. He was asked about the infamous 'lost decade' in his career when he really seemed to lose touch with his audiences.

Dylan stated that it took him that ten-year stretch (of almost constant touring and performing) to learn to do consciously what he used to do unconsciously. This is a powerful concept and one that is well worth reflecting and meditating on for a while. Often as performers we are blinded from seeing what the audience are really seeing. We have a vision of how we are that doesn't always have much to do with how we actually are. Sometimes it is ego, and sometimes we need that ego to power us through our shows. We have a vision of us in our 'mind's eye'.

For every performer, sometimes sooner and sometimes later, a certain cosmic something clicks and we realize that we have actually become the performer that we always thought we were. It is a magic moment indeed, and from then on there is no looking back.

To reach this point you sometimes need to re-structure that old saying, "Practice, Practice, Practice," and realize that the time for practice is over and what you really need to do is to, "Perform, Perform, and Perform". It is the way to reach the next level of achievement - learning to do consciously what you used to do unconsciously, and then letting everything unnecessary fall away from your performance.

6. Chair Suspension - False Myths - #318 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.kyleandkellymagic.com
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com

The other day I saw this comment in regards to a discussion on the chair suspension illusion.

"I don't do this routine, personally I just don't find it very magical. It just seems way too obvious, and almost every performance I have seen there is movement when the chair is removed which destroys the illusion."

This IS magical and SHOULD be magical to an audience. The problem is in the way people are doing it and more importantly all the little things that are often times done wrong or not done at all. If this is done correctly, this will get reactions and this will fool and this will get applause. I know because I do it all the time and it works.

Now this is not meant (what I am about to say) as an ego thing. It is to prove a point only.

I was performing my chair suspension routine at a birthday party outside and yes even with people at weird angles. I have done this so many times that I have the ability to handle all of that without issue. As I was performing the illusion, the adults STOPPED dead in their tracks and started watching. Every person there was focused on it.

At the end of the routine we had people not just clapping but standing up, clapping and going NUTS. This is no lie. After the show this BIG biker looking guy comes up to me and says the following "Dude great show and really awesome. However, how the BLEEP did you do that chair thing? How in the world did that just happen? That was CRAZY cool!".

No lie. This happened and it happens a lot for me and my wife. This guy was not joking, not drunk and was genuine in his response to me. He was not the only one.

My point is this DOES work. Do not get frustrated with the illusion because you think 1) it is obvious to a lay person or 2) it presents poorly. Both are not true IF you take the time to research, practice, ask questions and understand how the illusion is supposed to be done and create a routine that works the right way.

There should also never be any safety issues or problems with this. NONE. If you go through the safety measures and checks that I list in my ebook and talk in detail, you will never have an issue with it. It becomes a habit you just do every show just like anything else in your show. And the best part about it is it is not hard to do and learn.

Do not expect to get this illusion and just put it in your show the next day. You MUST do your homework, practice, research and make sure you 1) know how to properly set it up. 2) you know how to properly get a child on and off, 3) know how to perform it the right way and proper way, 4) have a good routine for the illusion and 4) practice the illusion until you are comfortable with it.

I hear so many times about movement or sag. When I perform this illusion, there is NO sag and NO movement. None at all. That is because of the handling of it. If you learn once again how to handle the illusion properly, and setting a person on it in the proper position, there should be no movement or sag. Also, you yourself have the power to control that.

Proper positioning of the helper is just one area where folks have the most issues or problems with. Allow me to help a little on this. The proper positioning should be that the helper's shoulders are parallel to the back edge of the chair. Their head should naturally be off the board and placed lightly and gently down. This does not hurt the child or the helper. It is a relaxed position. Not you may have to adjust this ever so slightly depending if you have a person who is taller than the shoulders get moved upward just a bit. Very easy to do.

Now a GOLDEN secret is how can you do this so it happens naturally without you having to adjust the helper? Simple. The usage of a small plastic step stool. It is placed usually in the center and helps the helper to easily be placed gently on the board first in a sitting position and then later in a laying position. The placement of the stool will determine where the help's bottom will end up on the board.

When the person lays down, their bottom does not move as they lay down from that spot they are seated at. IF you know this, then it becomes easy to adjust the placement of that stool to account for a helper of any sex. I can visually know where to place the stool so that the person is seated on the board where I need them to be. Once they go into the laying down position, it happens naturally and correctly without me having to adjust anything.

Now this does take practice and you need to do this a few times to get the hang of it. However, once you do, it becomes second nature and it saves you a lot of headache and grief. It also makes the illusion flow smoother for you and for the helper and audience.

Folks, you do not have to fear this illusion. You do not have to think it does not play well. This is a classic of magic for a reason because it does work. You just have to be willing to spend forth the effort to learn before doing.

If I can be of any help to anyone, PLEASE let me know.

7. Magic - Art, Craft or Neither? - Alvin Terrence
--------------------------------------------
Message by Anthony Darkstone Europe/USA

Introduction
Alvin Terrence is a wonderful Magician and Mentalist based in Singapore. I was very pleased to spend some quality time with him and some of his amazing team when I lectured and performed in Singapore. He is a leading figure in ATOM - Astonishing Team of Mentalists, who are a team of International performing artistes from Asia.

They rightly pride themselves as the first and to date, the only Team of Psychological Illusionists. Blending the best of Traditional Magic with Psychological Techniques they entertain with a well-blended mix of wit, humor and mesmerizing Illusions.

Magic - Art Craft or Neither?
Commentary by Alvin Terrence
Nowadays, an often asked question is: Why isn't magic considered an art to most laypeople?.. and even some magicians? Could it be because many magicians never portrayed/portray it in an artistic form, or could it be because the history of magic wasn't seen as being glamorous? Therefore, the result is that of banishing the art to the corner like a naughty kid because sleight-of-hand was/is also used in street gambling/con games.

Magic did/does have it moments too - the buskers and kids magic magicians that you used to see when you were young. One of the many reasons why I got into magic was because I considered it an Art. David Copperfield did the most impossible things on stage in the most artistic manner, glamorous too. One of my memorable moments was watching 'The Magic of David Copperfield XVII'. I was blown away by 'Tornado of Fire' - David Copperfield teleported himself with a member of the audience to Hawaii from hundreds of miles away in seconds, completely surrounded in front of a live audience.

So what's considered an art or a craft? Music, dance, artwork display and the list goes on without having 'magic performance' on the list. According to the Oxford Dictionary, art is "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination … producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power" and craft is "an activity involving skill in making things by hand".

My conclusion it is right to categorize Magic as both an art and a craft since it involves creative skills to evoke emotions through the use of sleight of hand and its showmanship/performance. Kudos to international Magicians like David Blaine, Cyril Takayama, Criss Angel and Lu Chen for changing the perspective of magic to the general public. Magic isn't just for kids, it's an art that transcends all levels and ages.

Karl "Koppertop" Hein November 14th, 7:00pm

"Of all the new faces I've met in the past 15 years, Karl Hein stands out as being one of the few magicians that I just know will be a huge success. It is rare for a magician to not only understand technique, but also entertainment and business. I feel comfortable booking Karl anytime and anywhere. I highly recommend his lecture!" - Bill Malone

"Karl Hein's lecture provided me with more usable magic and information than any other lecture I can remember. Several of his routines have made their way into my professional walk-around and stand-up performances. I went out of my way to see his first lecture and I can't wait to see the next." - Cody Fisher
"The natural appearance of your (Heinstein) shuffle is breathtaking!" - Richard Kaufman

"In Karl's hands, the Heinstein shuffle is the most deceptive in-hands false riffle I have witnessed in the 30 years I've been involved in card magic." - Paul Cummins
"Heiny 500 is the best #*%@! money effect I have ever seen!" - Chris Kenner
"Karl has a wonderful approach that's both imaginative and practical." Andrew Mayne

10. Fundraiser For Paul Green And Family
--------------------------------------------
Message by Tom Dewey - USA

I just became aware of this from www.hocus-pokus.com Fellow magicians are requested to be supportive of Paul Green and family in this time of need. Thank you for bringing this to the attention of all readers. All donations can be made at the website.

Tom Dewey

We Need Your Help!
All donations will go directly to Paul Green and his family.

Sometimes it takes tragedy to put things in perspective and realize what is truly important. We'd like to ask you to consider making a donation to our fellow brother in magic, Paul Green.

Paul was recently diagnosed with leukemia and needs our help. Although he has health insurance, he is not able to work so he has no income to live on. With the upcoming season being the busiest for a working performer, you can imagine the stress this is creating for him. He has given all of his shows to fellow magicians, but needs our help to survive pending expenses.

He has started chemotherapy treatment and it will undoubtedly be some time before Paul will be back on his feet and working at the Art form he loves.

In addition, to his recent diagnosis, Paul suffered two heart attacks being in late September thus complicating matters.

In the meantime, the Green family are subject to an enormous amount of financial hardship and soaring medical costs. Given the pain and stress they are already enduring, we are asking for your donations to help this very special fellow brother magician and his family. We realize that many are having their own financial matters to deal with, especially nowadays, but we ask to give what you can, if possible.

So, we're reaching out to the magic community and asking for your help. We are collecting donations for Paul and his family starting at $10.00. If you would like to donate more, simply contact us directly or add as many ten-dollar donations to your shopping card as desired.

Our Promise
Rest assured, all donations will go in their entirety to directly benefit Paul Green and his family.

Paul is a great man, a great magician, and he has given to us all in one way or another through his magic, through his friendship, through his kindness, through his encouragement, and through his example as being a truly wonderful human being. We ask that you reflect upon this time of giving and give your support to the Greens.

We'd encourage everyone to look at the big picture and put things in perspective, and to reach down into their pockets. Let's take care of one of our brother magicians and one of the all-time great guys in magic. Let's help Paul and his family out.

Again, all donations will go in their entirety to Paul Green.

Thank you all in advance for your support, big or small, it is most appreciated.
