The Dream
Has Come True
Dear magic friends,

It's a great honour for Italy and myself to host the next World Championship of Magic: FISM Italy 2015.

FISM, the International Federation of Magic Societies, was founded in 1948 and currently includes about 80 magic clubs and NationalFederations for a total of about 50,000 registered magicians worldwide.

Every three years FISM organizes the World Championships of Magic in a different country. The five previous FISM Competitions were held in Lisbon, the Hague, Stockholm, Beijing, and Blackpool. To find out more about the history of FISM go to:
http://www.fismitaly2015.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=
category&layout=blog&id=13&Itemid=147

In 2015 the 26th edition of FISM will be hosted for the first time in Italy.

Thanks to the efforts of many people, including the special support of the International Consulting Committee, the beauty of Italy, and the experience gained by our production of the six most recent Masters of Magic Festivals, we are ready to bring you the best FISM ever.

I look forward to welcoming all of you in Italy to enjoy the magic experience of a lifetime.

Dietrich, Carl Bud age 92, died peacefully on Wednesday evening, September 24, 2014. He was born May 7, 1922 in East St.Louis, Illinois and has always been known as Bud. He attended Central Catholic High School and graduated from East St. Louis High School in 1941.

He attended St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Indiana and following World War II attended Shrivenham University in Swindon, England. He was a World War II Army Veteran serving as an instructor in the Pack Artillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and spent 18 months overseas with the 12th Armored Division. He ended his service as an Intelligence N.C.O. in Germany.

Bud had a career as a full time Magician. He performed for 44 years until his retirement in November 2000. He was well known in magic and lectured to magicians all over Europe and America. He invented magic tricks and co-authored a book on magic. For over 20 years he specialized in working trade shows for industries and was often called the Fortune 500 Magician.

He is also a member of the Society of American Magicians and a former member of the famed Magic Castle in Los Angeles.

8. Remarkable Magic #364 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)

A couple of gems for the working professional.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to email me about last week's column about 'The Act.' I seem to have hit quite a nerve with a lot of people out there, and as always I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your overwhelmingly positive comments on thoughts. Incidentally I love to hear from you even if you totally disagree with my opinions! You can always reach me at nicklewin1@mac.com

I have recently begun to review some of the newest magical releases in the various magic journals I write for. Nowadays brick and mortar magic stores are beginning to feature heavily on the endangered species list. The business of choosing how to transform your hard earned cash into commercial magic via the Internet certainly has its own traps and pitfalls. I hope I can help with some unbiased and practical input on the matter.

I am trying to concentrate on sharing commercial and "show ready" routines, and will be focusing on comedy magic and mentalism tricks/routines because this is my area of interest and expertise. Most, but not all, of the items I review are effects that I have actually purchased---because that can give you a different perspective on them. I am certainly delighted to write about items that I have been sent at random, however my goal will be to continue to primarily concentrate on the commercial appeal of a release.

There is a trend recently by "professional reviewers" to be rather scathing about the "one trick DVD" and bemoan the fact that the publisher expects $35 dollars and only teaches a specific effect. I couldn't agree less with this viewpoint. A DVD that really allows you to learn a worthwhile routine and then add it to your repertoire is a wonderful thing and in my opinion beats out most releases that are
packed with tricks (or more accurately ideas) that are only partially thought out. In this world you have to pay for polish and focus and to my mind $35 bucks is a ridiculously small price to pay for someone's knowledge and experience.

In my opinion a perfect example of a strong release is "Joe Monti's Original Thumb Tie" DVD, you can find full details at www.thumbtie.com If you buy this item you are purchasing twenty plus years of experience that will allow you to perform an extremely effective routine that has been polished and perfected in the furnace of live performance. If you want to add an effective thumb tie routine then look no further you will not be disappointed.

There is no wasted philosophizing or padding in this release, your $35 buys you some zip strips and a short video that does an excellent job of teaching you Joe's routine step by step. If you want to add a classic trick to your show that blends strong comedy with powerful magic, then this could be one of the best purchases you can make. Always important to me, every prop involved in this trick fits in your back pocket and yet the action involved will fill a living room or big theatre with equal ease.

Another item that Monti is currently marketing is his "Three Card Joe," an effect more commonly known as Chase The Ace. Joe's routine is smooth, smart and thoroughly streamlined for effective performance to contemporary audiences. Like Joe's thumb tie routine part of the appeal in his handling is that he has cut out every unnecessary element that gets in the way of the intrinsic impact of the effect. Just follow his deceptively casual instructional DVD, spend a few hours in front of the mirror and you have a classic effect that will stand you in good stead for years to come.

I have performed different variations of Chase The Ace ever since Ken Brooke taught me my first one in the mid 60's. This one is the most direct and effective I have found, no extra moves or wasted time, just a well thought out routine that gets right to the point - maybe I should say cuts to the chase! You also get beautifully made cards that have been designed and manufactured to the highest standards.

After 45 years of professional shows, I still get a kick when I discover truly definitive routines and I am grateful to Joe for sharing his working material in this manner. Both items are highly recommended to discriminating magicians. You can contact Joe and get full details of these releases at joemonti@joemonti.com

Part of being a success at working festivals is the ability to build relationships with the client/s and having them see the value that you give them. You want to be a solutions provider and not just an entertainer. The more problems you solve for them, the more your perceived value grows in their minds.

Part of building this relationship is having them see large crowds at your shows and many happy and smiling patrons. They want their festival guests to have a great time. A large and happy crowd reacting favorably to what you are doing gets back to the client really quickly.

So what are ways in which to ensure large crowds at your festival shows? One is simply advertising your appearance at the festival. Many entertainers make 2 assumptions when it comes to festival advertising and promotion. They feel like 1) it will be done entirely by the festival itself and they will advertise your appearance there and 2) that they are not allowed to help advertise their appearance.

Let me talk a bit about both if I can. The first rule of thumb is to never assume anything when it comes to working festivals. This simply means always ask questions and always find out the answers to questions you have.

Sometimes festivals will indeed promote your appearance and will do a fine job. Some will not advertise you much at all and others may just state that a "magician" or a "juggler" will be appearing but not state your stage name etc. This is natural to happen as all festivals are different and they handle advertising and promotion differently as well. One of the best things you can do for yourself is to offer to help make their job easier by providing them with information, photos, bios, web art, logos and anything you feel they can utilize. By doing so, you are
showing them you are a professional, you are helping them tremendously and you are ensuring a better chance that you will be advertised properly.

If you want to start to advertise yourself and your appearance at the festival, it usually is never a problem. Just make sure to touch base with your festival client ahead of time. Ask them that you would like to help get the word out about their festival and your appearance there and if that would be OK with them.

It is a win-win situation for them and so is usually never a problem at all. Just always ask permission ahead of time before you begin. In this way they know you are doing it, can assist you with proper information and they get to see the value you are giving to them. One of the best ways to advertise your appearance at the festival is through a FREE method called online community calendars. Many
communities and municipalities have community based websites. These websites are geared at letting people in their communities know about important information.

As a part of these community based websites, they usually have a calendar of events section. These calendars are set up in such a way that anyone can freely post events and community events to the calendar. It is usually done through an online form page. Just enter in your information and click the button and you are one.

The beauty of this is that they are free of charge and can be done quickly. There are a lot of them and you can find them easily by doing Google searches for "Community Calendar (town name)" or with a keyword such as "Calendar of Events (township)". With a little Google searching, you can find numerous online calendars to be able to place your event information.

It is a quick and easy way to get your information out there to a vast audience who usually check the calendars for things to do with their families.

***

I hope this information has given you an idea of what can be done with working the festival market. If you would like additional and detailed information on this topic, please see my book/eBook at:
http://kpmagicproducts.com/Festival_Magic.html

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.

12. World's Oldest Clown Dies At 98 In Montana
--------------------------------------------
Article forwarded by Phillip Peters (US)

Billings Gazette

"Creeky the Clown" dies

Floyd V. Creekmore, better known as Creeky the Clown, died last weekend after decades of making people laugh and helping sick children feel better.

Creekmore, of Billings, was 98.

"Creeky was my mentor," said Lucky Seibert, a fellow Al Bedoo Shrine clown. "He was always striving, and he'd always help you" at clown competitions
.
"The clown group grew up around Creeky," Seibert said. "It's sad to lose him."

Seibert said he offered to apply clown makeup one last time for his old friend for use during Creeky's funeral, but Creekmore elected to be cremated.

"He made a lot of friends nationwide with his clowning," said Clint Frank, of Billings, whose clown name is Cuddles. "He was kind of the godfather of Al Bedoo clowns."

In 2012, Creeky earned a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest performing clown. Born July 14, 1916, in FergusCounty, Creekmore had been performing since the 1980s and was recognized in February 2012 as "the oldest clown still working" at the age of 95 years, 6 months.

His fellow clowns knew Creekmore not only as a performer, but as a teacher of clowns. "He taught us by the way he did things," said Jim Nasby, who's known as
MADD MAXX when he's sporting clown makeup. "He taught us how to throw a
pie right."

Nasby recalled Creekmore's 90th birthday celebration. He was so popular that his friends threw him five separate birthday parties, Nasby recalled.

"He and Betty were a wonderful couple," Nasby said, noting that Creekmore's wife died two years ago at age 96. "I think part of the reason he died was of loneliness."

Creekmore told the Billings Gazette in 2004 that he joined the Al Bedoo Shrine and donned makeup and oversized clothes and shoes because he had a nephew in the Shrine Hospital in Spokane, Wash., "and I decided right then that I wanted to help out," Creekmore said. Creeky was honored in 1993 when the International Shrine Clown Association named him Clown of the Year. He said a career highlight was
the time he and 16 other clowns picked up Red Skelton at the Billings airport and drove the comedian to his hotel. Skelton was so impressed with the clown entourage that he spent time swapping clown stories with them in the hotel lobby.

"He was so spontaneous and funny," Seibert said of Creeky, his friend and mentor. Seibert said he recently took first place at the Pacific Northwest Shrine Clown Association competition - a feat made possible by Creeky's absence.

"I did what Creeky used to do," Lucky the Clown said. "His mind was so sharp. He would come up with gags, and then he'd teach us how to make the gag work."

During one competition about 15 years ago, Creeky rigged a card table to collapse on cue, which the audience found hilarious. But at the crucial moment, the card table failed to collapse.

"When your props don't work, they don't work," Creekmore told the crowd, walking off the stage - to laughter and applause.

Frank - aka Cuddles - remembered one clown convention when another clown hadn't prepared a routine for the two-clown skit competition. "Ten minutes before the competition started, Creeky told the guy, 'Come with me, and we will have a two-man skit.' They ended up taking second place. That's the kind of guy he was - so full of ideas."

Seibert said many fellow clowns are expected to attend Creekmore's funeral - but not in full makeup, and certainly not in comically large shoes.

"I'll wear a red silk jacket," Lucky said. "It'll be kind of hard to smile."

13. Buy Magic Online?
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

Last March we explored Brick and Mortar magic shops; what they offer, their relevance to magicians today plus a look at their past, current status and possible future. One of the comments left on The Magic Word blog was to have another podcast that focused on the online magic business. You listen to me so I listened to you.

So, this week on The Magic Word we chat with representatives from the e-commerce world of magic sales. Tim Trono from Penguin Magic and Jason Brumbalow from Murphy's Magic Supplies provide us with a perspective from the digital world where buying magic is just a click away.

These two gentlemen have a good handle on what's going on in the world of online sales and talk a little about their business models and why they believe online purchasing is a logical progression in the evolution of marketing in general and a nice supplement to the mom and pop magic shops.

You can listen to this podcast on The Magic Word at:
http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/online-magic-shops You can listen online or download the MP3 file through the blog. Of course you can download it from iTunes or get the podcast through your favorite podcather. You can listen on your computer, your smart phone, your tablet, your laptop, transfer to a flash drive and listen in your car, on your jog, on your bike, and, well...you get the idea.

Thanks for listening and for your comments and suggestions. I am doingthis for you. Heaven knows I'm not doing it for money, because without your donations, there is no money. I have no advertisers or sponsors. All the banners and ads I generously provide as a service for you to find quality merchants. And for those eight people (yes, only eight donors over the past two years) who have donated and become "Friends of The Magic Word" and the others who have purchased some of the merchandise from the Shop, I give you a sincere "thank you". And for
those who have been waiting to donate...well, now's a good time! You can help The Magic Word via PayPal by sending a donation to scottwellsmagic@gmail.com

15. Major Project Almost Complete
--------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Romhany

For the past six months I've been working almost full time produce a TV pilot with Andrew Gerard. We've kept it quiet until NOW as the project is almost complete.

I was asked to produce a DVD using the works from Richard Webster and Neal Scryer and their amazing collection of books. It was no easy task as we knew it had to be done right. The first person we wanted to get on board for the first DVD was Andrew Gerard. Gerard has consulted for almost all the major television stars of today and currently working on another television show overseas.

This project is like no other as Andrew and I decided we'd turn the material from Scryer's books in to a TV show. With a crew and six months work we have almost completed the project.

For a sneak preview here I am talking about the work ...

16. Elgregoe Seen By One Million People - 10,000 Shows
--------------------------------------------
Message by Greg Britt (Elgregoe), Christchurch New Zealand

This week I clock up my 10,000 show, one millionth person to watch me perform.

To celebrate, The Hub Mall is putting on a special school holiday week with 14 live shows featuring my exotic bird act that I have become so well known for, some amazing illusions and ventriloquism. Every child attending gets a free magic wand and a souvenir picture.

Advertisements can be spotted on the back of Christchurch city buses. Interestingly it was the Hub Mall that gave me my first mall show at, 35 years ago.

I continue to present my You've Got The Power anti-bullying school show sponsored by major power company Trustpower. Acclaimed top school show that appears in schools nationwide throughout the year. www.elgregoe.trustpower.co.nz It is this show that gained me recognition from Her Majesty The Queen when she gave me The New Zealand of Merit for services to education.

I have always loved performing magic. I still feel the same excitement as when I first started performing and I am grateful that I can bring the thrill and wonder of seeing live magic to so many folk nationwide.

My favourite trick is producing a 6 foot silk from an empty tube which I drape over my hand and walk out into the crowd. Pulling the silk off my hand, I expose a live Macaw flapping its huge wings. Seeing the audience respond, now that's the moment that makes it all so rewarding.

I want to thank so many magicians overseas and here in New Zealand that have encouraged, helped and continue to mentor me in my magical journey.
