2. An a-May-zing Month!
--------------------------------------------
Message by Stan Allen, Editor of MAGIC Magazine
I
try to keep these teasers for the latest issue of MAGIC
Magazine as short as possible. But this month there's just
too much to talk about.
May 2014 marks the fortieth anniversary of the opening of
The Magic Show on Broadway, the day that changed magic!
We're celebrating the occasion with the largest story ever
run in this magazine. We pull the curtain back and take
a look at the wizards behind what was once billed as "Broadway's
first and only magic musical comedy hit" - The Magic
Show.
With this May issue, we launch our brand new MAGIC Magazine
Digital Network. You can now experience MAGIC on your computer,
tablet, and smart phone. And it comes free with your print
subscription, or for as little as $3 per month for digital
only.
Here's just some of the bonus material currently available:
Doug Henning, In His Words
When David Charvet conducted the very last interview with
Doug Henning, he videoed their conversation. Here is the
first release, a 25-minute excerpt of Doug talking about
the Broadway show that made him a star.
The Magic Show
In 1980, Doug Henning returned to the role he created on
Broadway, doing it one last time to preserve it on film.
Here is the seven-minute opening number of the movie version
of The Magic Show, featuring the Dancing Handkerchiefs and
Mis-Made Lady, from the DVD released by producer David Koyle.
Let's Talk
Hecklers
This new series of subject-driven videos features performers
talking about performing. First up, advice on hecklers from
Justin Flom, Mac King, Chipper Lowell, Armando Lucero, and
Fielding West.
Healing of Magic
At the 2013 MAGIC Live, Kevin Spencer touched the hearts
of attendees with his "Healing of Magic" presentation.
The story of this amazing program appears in the November
2013 issue of MAGIC Magazine, but now watch the entire presentation.
Warning: tissues not included.
Connect the Dots
For a mime, Tina Lenert sure has a lot to say. Her presentation
at MAGIC Live last year was on how she developed her iconic
Mop Man act, followed by a performance of said act - followed
by a spontaneous standing ovation.
Marketplace
Product reviews are a very important part of any magazine.
The problem is the amount of time it takes to get products
reviewed and onto the pages of the magazine. Now you can
get an advance look at what reviews are coming up, as well
as search for reviews we've already run.
Plus video tutorials from Chad Long, Gregory Wilson, Karl
Hein, and Steve Valentine.
It's all in the May 2014 MAGIC Magazine experience
plus a lot more!

4. Magic On The Menu And On The Air
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, A.I.M.C. with Silver Star
For
eleven years, Jim Sisti published The Magic Menu, the seminal
publication for restaurant and bar magicians. It contained
great articles, tips and tricks from all the leading close-up
workers of the day including Michael Ammar, Doc Eason, Michael
Close, Jay Sankey, and over 100 more top performers.
Jim
sat down to record an interview on the history of The Magic
Menu plus talk about some of the ideas it contained that
are just as relevant and commercial today as they were 20
years ago. You can listen and enjoy this podcast on The
Magic Word at http://TheMagicWordPodcast.com/ or you can

5. Amazing Johnathan Prepares To Take Final Bows In Toledo
--------------------------------------------
Article forwarded on by William Bowers (US)
Toledo
Free Press
Written by Jeff McGinnis
The
Amazing Johnathan was performing in front of a crowd full
of fans in San Diego about two months ago when he knew it
was time to call it quits.
He'd
planned for this moment for a while now. The famous comedy
magician was diagnosed back in 2007 with a serious heart
condition, cardiomyopathy. It means the heart muscle, for
whatever reason, is beginning to deteriorate, leading to
heart failure. At the time, the situation looked grim. Johnathan,
who'd been a regular act in Las Vegas for years, made plans
for retirement. But then, after losing weight and getting
on blood thinners, everything seemed OK. He decided to cancel
the end of his career.
Now,
more than six years later, he was once more preparing to
bow out of the spotlight, but on his terms - this year-long
nationwide tour would be his farewell before he would quit
performing for good. But he'd already learned the hard way
that with this condition, even the best laid plans of mice,
men and magicians are built on a foundation of quicksand.
And in San Diego, it all came crashing back.
"Everything
starting shutting down," Johnathan said in an interview
with Toledo Free Press. "My heart's not allowing enough
oxygen to be pumped into my legs and my arms. So halfway
through the show, my hands started cramping up, and my legs
started freezing up on me. And I pretty much made the decision
then to cut this one-year tour short to only about three
months."
Johnathan
- last name Szeles - will perform in Toledo at Laffs, Inc.
from May 1-3. Then he'll head to Los Angeles for a gig in
Hollywood at the Magic Castle. And then
that's it.
He'll retire to Las Vegas and work on maintaining his health
as long as possible.
"It's
supposedly supposed to deteriorate more and more. In fact,
I'm getting ready to go right now to the doctor's to see
if the medication that they gave me [is working]. And that's
my last resort. Because if that's not working, they told
me I probably have about a year. So, that's not what you
want to hear."
Johnathan's
voice spoke of his mortality - which he gleefully pretended
to imperil on a nightly basis for much of his adult life
- in matter-of-fact terms. This is happening, and that's
that. "They were wrong last time about it. They said
that it was going to deteriorate, and it didn't. For six
years, I was fine. And now, it's just starting up again.
So we'll see what happens."
In
some ways, one gets the impression that the saddest part
of everything for Johnathan is not that his health may be
failing, or that he must give up his livelihood. No, the
real tragedy is that he has to give up his act right when
it's getting so good.
For
30 years he has performed his wild brand of comedy magic
- part purposefully bad tricks, part old-fashioned geek
show, part prop comedy, part genuinely great illusions -
and just now he's reaching a point where he feels like he's
perfecting it.
"The
show is actually better than it's ever been. Before we announced
that I was retiring, we started getting standing ovations,
which was always sporadic throughout my career.
Everybody loves the show, but to get a standing ovation
is not an easy thing," Johnathan said. "And I'm
like, 'Oh, great. Now that I'm finally getting standing
ovations, I'm sick and I can't go out and enjoy that."
He's
also found a connection to a whole new generation of fans,
thanks to appearances on fellow magician Criss Angel's series
"Mindfreak." The shows opened the door to younger
fans who weren't around when he first made a name on the
national stage 25 years ago through appearances on "Late
Night with David Letterman" and FOX's "Comic Strip
Live."
"Comedy Central is a good gauge for that. Because they
called me after 10 years - after I thought I'd never hear
from them again - they called me out of the blue after 10
years of not calling me and said, 'Hey, you want to do an
hour special?' I'm like, wow. I can't believe it. I thought
it was a joke."
Despite
his condition, Johnathan is doing everything he can to make
this truncated final tour as epic as it can be. He has plans
to record the entire run of his final week at the Magic
Castle for possible release - he even hinted that the Toledo
stops may be recorded, as well. And don't even think about
asking if he has any regrets.
"The
good news is that even if I did go tomorrow, I've had such
a great career. I've been so blessed for 30 years. A lot
of the people I started doing comedy with are either working
regular jobs, or out of the business or dead," Johnathan
said. "I've been on the top for at least 25 of those
30 years, I've headlined."
It's
remarkable - Amazing, one might say - how many lives a performer
can touch during their career. Even if said performer swallowed
razor blades or took swigs from a bottle of Windex while
he was onstage.
"It's
been tough to announce the farewell tour and tell people
it's a health issue - I've had a huge outpouring of love
from these people. You don't really think about the effect
you've had on their lives until they come up to you and
tell you, 'I had cancer and going through my treatment,
you made me laugh during that time."

7. Remarkable Magic #349 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
Paul
Romhany in England.
I
want to use this column to give a shout out to my friends
back in the United Kingdom, you have a very special lecture
coming your way. My old friend and colleague Paul Romhany
is going to be giving a limited lecture tour in England
and lovers of strong commercial magic should definitely
not miss it.
Paul
will be familiar to many of you as the editor of the groundbreaking
Internet magic gem 'Vanish Magazine' which has become an
Internet sensation since he founded it a little over two
years ago. Averaging over 100,000 downloads of each issue
it has quickly revolutionized the magic publishing industry
with its high quality articles and visually exciting presentation.
I am proud to have been a contributor to Vanish from its
very first issue.
A
professional entertainer of some note, Romhany has been
performing for over twenty five years as a full time magical
entertainer and won many accolades and awards along the
way. Paul has appeared in over 100 countries with his Gold
Medal Award winning Charlie Chaplin act and in 2012 won
the coveted 'Top Variety Artist in New Zealand' award. He
was also a recipient of the 'Robert Houdin Award.' He is
recognized as one of the busiest and hardest working magicians
in the business.
Others
of you out there will be familiar with Romhany from the
steady stream of highly commercial and audience tested routines
that he has released over the years. His original routines,
books and videos are a wonderful contribution to the magic
world. Some items such as Paul's 'Dream Prediction,' 'Linking
Hearts' and 'Extreme Snowstorm truly deserve to be listed
as contemporary masterpieces. All of his routines are created
and perfected in the forge of performance and not just pipedreams;
his creations are practical and STRONG.
All
these years of performing have given Romhany a unique perspective
of performing in a large variety of specialized areas including,
cruise ships, variety shows, corporate events, television
and trade shows. Those of you who know Paul understand that
it is just not in his nature to walk away from an experience
without learning something. It is lucky for us in the magic
world that he has chosen to share his insights with us.
I
saw Paul lecture last year in Vancouver at the '3 of Clubs
Convention' and was very impressed with his ability to combine
teaching great magic while simultaneously dispensing tips
and techniques that he has acquired during his career. You
get a wonderful insight into a brilliant and perceptive
mind. If you don't walk away from his lecture a better magician
than when you walked in---you just weren't paying attention!
Topics
that are included during Romhany's lecture cover the magical
gamut from close-up, to Mentalism, with plenty of good visual
comedy magic included into the mix. Coupled with his magical
stories and excerpts from his award winning 'Charlie Chaplin'
act attendees are in for a treat as they enjoy this one
of a kind learning experience.
Here
is a list of Paul's English lecture dates.
11th
May - Bristol Day of Magic
14th May - Zodiac Magical Society
15th May - Leamington & Warwick
16th May - Bradford Magic Circle
18th May - Newcastle
19th May - Manchester Circle of Magicians
20th May - Blackpool Magicians Club
21st May - Riviera Circle of Magicians

Paul will be lecturing at my old magic club the Sussex Magic
Circle! If you are able to attend one of these lectures
then DO SO! You won't be disappointed.

8. Ethnic Diversity In Shows - #340 - By Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
I
was read a forum topic recently and the question came up
in regards to how far we should go to accommodate the special
needs of people. How far do we go with ethnic diversity
or with handicaps and including that or not including that
in our shows?
As
a deaf person and deaf magician, I feel that I personally
have to tell my audiences (in different ways) that I am
deaf. Many comedians talk about this as breaking the ice.
Audiences get uncomfortable because they do not know what
to do and how to react. The moment I poke fun at myself
and my deafness, they are totally ok with it because I AM
OK with it. It allows them to forget about it and accept
me and get on with having fun.
It
also opens me up to being able to answer questions they
may have after my shows. I encourage it because that is
how people learn.
Now
in regards to ethic and racial diversity within show performances,
I think it should be done. However, this does not mean you
have to hit the audience over the head with it.
I
really feel that audiences can learn this and see this through
your example. It is how you behave and how you act that
sets the tone.
For
example, if I am doing a routine using multiple helpers,
I make sure to choose a good selection of ethnic diverse
kids. Now it does not mean I pick a child acting bad simple
because they are ethnic. Any child can be good or bad regardless
of the color of their skin etc. It just means that I can
choose diverse helpers without drawing attention to it.
If
I am doing a routine using pictures, I do try to make it
more ethnic diverse. Many tricks already come this way.
I am a designer, so I often customize my tricks and routines
and make them diverse for me.
Once
again I am not drawing attention or focus to it. I am showing
through simple example and the audiences will appreciate
it.
You
can draw focus to it if your show is all about anti-bullying
or if it is on accepting everyone or equality. If you have
a themed assembly show, then yes, you want to draw attention
to it as that helps get the message across.
Kids
want to feel included. They do indeed know what they look
like and are very aware of who they are when they see a
picture they can relate to. This is why I try to show equality
and diversity in my shows.
I
still feel that I do not have to beat them over the head
with it. I can really show by doing. It's almost like treating
with respect to gain respect. I show then diversity in simple
ways and not draw attention to it. By doing this, they absolutely
understand.
Equality
is supposed to be something we do not something we have
to think about. So in this light, I make diversity just
a normal part of what I do and the audiences and adults
appreciate it.
Now
with having a double handicap myself, I can clearly state
that we want what everyone wants and that is to simply be
treated as everyone else. We want to be treated with equality
and not be treated special. We want people to see as "normal".
Just another person enjoying life and doing what we have
to do. Certainly it may be harder for us, but we manage
and we get by.
We
appreciate folks who simply treat us fairly. I think people
can go overboard trying to be TOO nice to us with handicaps
or ethnic diversity. This is ok but it sends this single
that we need help and that you must help us. In most cases,
we really do not need help at all because we have taught
ourselves how to adapt. We just want to have a good time.
I
am happy to announce that my newest book, "FESTIVAL
MAGIC", is finished and is NOW available at http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
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.
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.

13. David Stone's 'The eXperience' Lecture
--------------------------------------------
Message by Garry Cohen (Aust)
The
new lecture is about general close up magic. It's both funny
and very dynamic lecture.
David Stone new lecture will provide exclusively new strong
magic tricks with cards, coins, and varied objects: Floating
deck, visual signed torn and restored card, impossible card
stabbed, business cards and credit cards routines, an amazing
and easy to do 4 aces production right after spectators
shuffled the cards, sharpie color changing... even a routine
with a condom!
Over
20 effects and new routines tested on real audience.
NOTA:
Except on demand prior the lecture, the tricks and routines
are brand new at 90%. If members of the clubs would like
to see "live" some of his classic tricks, they
have to specify it BEFORE the start of the lecture, so that
David will add them where it fits the best for the show:
This new lecture is built on as a real show, and behind
the "casual", informal style of it, it is created
to enhance the understanding of every concepts and principles
David wants to share.
The
last 3 years, David studied acting at the Actor's Studio
in Paris (The Studio Pygmalion) and played different roles
as an actor on movies in France. He will share his experience
in the emotional field and acting process to give hints
on how to improve character and personality as a magician
in performances along with tips on how to improve the strength
of a performance in people's mind.
David
will also talk and explain how he uses Misdirection and
off beat timing is his shows with concrete examples.
As
usual, the lecture will be hilarious, with dozen of new
gags you will be able to use for your own shows.
The
tricks are very, very, varied! It will be full of ideas,
concepts and routines along with cards and coins sleights,
misdirection's routines, new shoes apparitions, advice for
the pro workers. Many routines from David's last trick,
the best-seller "TOOL", (over 25.600 copies sold
in 18 months!) will also be explained. In the lecture, there
are over 14 routines using it showed and explained!
