4. Save A Chicago Magic Landmark
--------------------------------------------
Message by Neil Tobin
There's
a magic landmark in Chicago that's in danger of demolition,
and local magicians are trying to get a letter-writing campaign
off the ground to help save it. Here's the story: the building
at 1800 Halsted that once housed the original Schulien's
is at risk of being demolished and is on the official list
of Most Endangered Historic Sites in Illinois.
You
know the name: for over four decades, Matt Schulien held
court at its bar and pioneered what would be known as Chicago-style
close-up bar magic. Books have been written about his contributions
to the art. Magicians like Doc Eason and Bill Malone have
carried his legacy to audiences throughout the world.
Local
performer David Parr has been working with a grassroots
preservation group to save the building, but they can't
do it alone. Even though Alderman Michele Smith is on our
side, she needs more ammunition to help persuade the developer
of the site's significance.
Could
you please invite your readers to send emails to Alderman
Smith informing her as to why saving this historic site
is important to the magic community? She can be reached
via her assistant, Matthew Allee: Matthew@ward43.org
For
further information about the issue, here's a recent article-http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20140407/lincoln-park/historic-black-duck-building-at-risk-of-losing-magical-legacy

6. Remarkable Magic #347 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
Five
movies using magic that I loved.
I
love magic but no more than I love the other two big M words---Movies
and Music. Well this week I want to list five movies that
utilized magic in a way that really impressed me, or that
I just really enjoyed. As in all my top five lists I am
trying to avoid a couple of the obvious choices in favor
of slightly less populist selections. In other words, I'm
not including 'The Prestige' or 'The Illusionist' in this
list, both movies that really didn't connect with me as
deeply as they seem to have done with so many others.
F
for Fake.
This 1973 gem is my very favorite movie about magic, deception
and illusion. It was directed and stars the great Orson
Welles, who was a big fan, and sometimes practitioner, of
the magical arts. There are a small group of movie buffs
(myself included) that feel that this is one of the really
great and TOTALLY underrated movies by Mr. Welles. There
is a great deal of subtlety in the content and structure
of this movie that will appeal to any magician.
As
an exercise in the relationship of editing to magic and
the implied magic of causal relationships in film making,
this movie will definitely support several viewings before
you even begin to grasp the tongue in cheek brilliance of
its director and star. How do you begin to describe it?
If you are smart you don't, you just point out that it exists
and hope a few people who haven't seen the film get to discover
it.
I
remember during a party in our Las Vegas home getting into
a deep conversation about the movie with Johnny Thompson
who was deeply desirous of obtaining a copy. I deserted
my party guests and dubbed a bootleg copy of my bootleg
copy for John. As a further hint, if you really enjoy the
movie then you may want to order a copy of Robert Anton
Wilson's third book in his 'Cosmic Trigger' trilogy which
is an amazing analysis of a truly amazing piece of movie
making.
Having
spent nearly half my column eulogizing a movie you have
probably never heard of, let me cover a couple more quickly……
Houdini.
I have a very soft spot for this hokey old movie starring
Tony Curtis as the seminal magician from so many of our
childhoods. I saw it at just the right time and it totally
stole my heart with its romanticism and Technicolor simplicity.
Coupled with William Lindsay Gresham's great biography Houdini
took his place in my heart and made my future as a magician
inevitable.
You
haven't seen the movie? Oh my God, get going! Cook up popcorn
and perhaps make it a double bill with 'Dancing in the Rain,'
and have a good old-fashioned movie night.
The
Linguini Incident.
Here is an obscure one! Directed by the late Richard Shepard
(father of my longtime friend and director Tony Shepard)
the movie stars David Bowie and Rosanna Arquette. It is
a light-hearted and romantic look at a Houdini obsessed
character Monte, played by Bowie, and a robbery caper. Is
it a great movie? Not really but it is a movie that I thoroughly
enjoyed and you might well too.
Casino
Royale.
No, not the great James Bond reboot starring Daniel Craig.
I am talking about the 1967 comedy romp starring both Peter
Sellers and David Niven as secret agent 007. The movie also
featured cameos by an extraordinary cast of stars, including
Orson Welles as the arch villain Le Chiffre. It is once
again Mr. Welles who brings in the magic element, when he
performs a magnificently theatrical Asrah illusion during
the climatic casino scene in the movie. It had some real
gravitas.
As
a further reflection on the magic of editing it is worth
pointing out that during this pivotal showdown between the
characters played by Welles and Sellers the two actors refused
to be in the studio at the same time! The movie was filmed
at the height of Mr. Sellers 'crazy time' and he was something
of a nightmare to work with, but this scene worked out pretty
darn well in my opinion. The 15-year old version of me who
saw this movie in the cinema when it was released just loved
it and found it highly inspirational.
The
Incredible Burt Wonderstone.
I know how universally hated this movie was by magicians
in America-I just don't know why? My guess is that for many
of us it really treated magicians in a very dismissive manner
and with NO degree of awe or exaltation. I thought the film
was consistently funny and nicely kept to a low key level.
This is not a movie that went for big laughs, however I
thought it kept the laughs going throughout at a nice pace.
I particularly enjoyed Jim Carey's turn as Steve Gray, a
'street magician' who resembled David Blaine to a very high
degree.
I
loved the casually insensitive handling of Olivia Wilde's
assistant/magician character Jane in the movie. I also thoroughly
enjoyed Alan Arkin's role as Rance Holloway (I especially
love the name) in the production. Hey, enough trying to
justify a movie that was so thoroughly panned by magicians---
suffice to say, "It made me laugh!"

7. Festivals - Travel Distance - #338 - By Kyle Peron

Travel distance will be a big factor not in only what fees
you charge but also how you market to these various festivals.
The first decision you must make is whether you want to
sleep in your own bed at night or if you are willing to
travel greater distances and stay at hotels. The choice
really is yours and it is one you want to decide upon before
you start your marketing efforts.
You must decide just what your festival performance area
will be and how far you are willing to go to get there.
I find that having a map and drawing a large circle from
my home to the farthest area I am willing to work is a great
way to start figuring out not only my travel radius but
also travel fees. I call this zone mapping.
For myself, my travel radius is about 100 - 150 miles from
my home base. I then draw circles in pen for every twenty
miles out from my base. This is my way of gauging how far
a festival is from me and how much I should add on for an
appropriate travel fee. It also easily tells me if I may
need to add a hotel fee for shows further away. I keep this
map on the wall in my office and near my phone. It can be
a great tool when you are making or taking a call.
There are many software programs and online apps that allow
you to be able to customize maps for yourself. Use these
as they are great tools. You might want to place the final
zone map in an application called Dropbox.com so you have
access to it wherever you go.
If you do make the choice to travel farther distances for
your festival shows, then include hotel accommodations in
with your contract and add this price to your day rate.
The idea here is to still keep it simple for the festival
group to make a decision. I find that adding the fee to
my day rate makes it easier for them and does not confuse
them. I have also found that many times some hotels are
corporate sponsors of the event and the festival committee
has access to some of these rooms. Free accommodations,
everyone wins.
I don't believe that it is a good practice to offer a standard
base fee + gas fee + travel fee + hotel fee. If you lay
it out like this, it discourages festivals. It works against
you. Learn what YOU need to do the show and create a base
fee that covers all of your costs.
I have also experienced, at some of the larger festivals,
that hotels in the area often sponsor the festival or fair
you are attending. If you can, you can always ask or check
on the festival website to see who the sponsors are for
that year. If a hotel is a sponsor for the festival, you
may be able to get the rooms comped for you as a means of
promoting the local hotel that keeps you.
If you have a big hotel chain, with locations everywhere
you plan to work, you could try to obtain them as a sponsor
of your own. They not only supply you with the accommodations
you need but pay so much money for each festival you perform
at. In exchange, they get mention at every show you do.
This can work well for you and you never know unless you
ASK. I know this can happen, as I have seen it in my travels.
If you cannot get a sponsor for your hotel stay, then you
may still want to try and keep your hotel room cost down.
It is always a good idea to check into hotels in the area
of the festival. A hotel that is both easy to get to and
affordable, is most ideal. I say a close hotel, as often
times you will not get out of the festival until the festival
closes and you then get permission to enter the grounds
with your vehicle to pack back up. This means it could be
a long and tiring night. A hotel that is close works wonders
for this situation.
When it comes to accommodations, you may not want to be
too particular about where you stay. Lower rates have been
the norm at some hotels if you do your homework prior to
heading out on the road. Also, look into the entertainment
books for the city or area that you will be performing for.
If you are doing a tour and doing several festivals in the
same area, these entertainment books can save you money
on meals, hotels etc. Also, you may want to use your credit
card rewards points if you have them. Most places will deduct
a fee from your hotel stay and in some cases you may get
the night for free.
AAA is another great idea for the festival performer who
is traveling farther away from home for his or her shows.
Not only will it save you in the event of a vehicle breakdown,
but you can get some great savings on hotels, rental cars
etc. I have AAA and have been very glad I have had it on
many occasions.
Now do not get confused here. Many of you may be saying
why doesn't the festival put you up at a hotel? Well some
of them can and some may offer to do it. However, my goal
is to make it easy on the festival. What I do is know ahead
of time if I feel I have to stay overnight. This is often
my choice and not the festivals. I am the one deciding if
I need to stay or not.
Because of this, I try and make it easy on the festival.
If I know I need a hotel room, I simply add it to my base
fee when I offer my packages to the festival. By doing it
in this fashion, I can choose the hotel I want to stay in
and make it easy for myself and for the festival in the
process.
I am happy to announce that my newest book, "Festival
Magic", is finished and is NOW available at http://www.kpmagicproducts.com/Festival_Magic.html
This 112pg book is filled with the most up to date information
on how anyone can work and succeed in the festival and fair
markets.

thoughts. So if you have any thoughts on my articles or
