3. A Year With Martin Gardner
--------------------------------------------
Message by Stan Allen, Editor of MAGIC Magazine

"Martin Gardner's Corner" ran intermittently in MAGIC Magazine from 1994 to 2004. In all, 84 installments were published, each illustrated by Tom Jorgenson. Martin, who passed away in 2010, would have turned 100 years old on October 21, 2014. To celebrate, we're posting 52 of his "Corners," one per week for the next year. Each has been selected and annotated by Jason England. Visit each week with Martin Gardner at M360, MAGIC Magazine's subscribers-only digital platform.

Also now playing at M360: Caleb Wiles teaches a multi-climax card trick in which the instructions are actually in the deck of cards, and Nicholas Einhorn explains two effects with a borrowed bill: a serial number divination and a signed bill transposition.

And so much more!

4. The Magic Word Podcast #197 - Eric Henning And The Inaugural Party
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

Eric Henning has gotten closer to more U.S. Presidents than most any magician. On this week's part one podcast of my interview with Eric on The Magic Word, he talks about a variety of things that most of us will find interesting. Like his performance at the Inaugural Party for the President, a discussion of how he gave speeches against the propaganda that Fidel Castro was giving, Jasper Maskelyne and the "War Wizard", performance opportunities drying up around the Washington D.C. area, and more.

You can see photos of Eric and hear part one of our two part chat this week on The Magic Word at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/henning-magic-1 You can also download and listen through iTunes if you prefer. However you choose to listen, I thank you. And you can help spread "The Word" by "Liking" us on Facebook at http://Facebook.com/TheMagicWordPodcast and start a discussion on who you would like to hear on the podcast.

Message by Nick Lewin (US)

Conventions both conventional and unconventional.

I had a wonderful visit last week to Cumberland Falls in Kentucky where I was the featured entertainer at the "Uncon Convention." If you didn't know about it then let me explain that Uncon stands for unconventional. An unconventional convention---they had me hooked the moment I heard the title. My kind of event!

This was a beautifully executed little convention that was filled with a delightfully friendly group of magicians. It was a pleasure to perform/lecture at a convention that was small enough that I got to talk and mix with every single person attending. That doesn't happen nearly often enough in this day and age.

Part of the "Unconventional" element to the convention was that a huge degree of spontaneity was central to the event. Other than a general outline of what was going to happen there were many areas where things were just allowed to happen. It was a refreshing and highly effective way to run the convention. I wouldn't want to try it with a large group but with this sized convention (probably 85 attendees) it was a lot of fun. We all had a total blast.

This was my most recent convention and during the course of it I spent a little time reflecting on my first magic convention. I'm sure all of us have a special place in their heart for that very first convention which we attended. It was almost always an amazing experience when you realized you had the opportunity to talk/watch/think/breathe magic 24 hours a day with a bunch of like-minded maniacs!

My very first convention was in the delightful seaside town of Southport in Northern England. I was particularly excited to see how my mentor Ken Brooke participated in the event since he was highly regarded as possibly the greatest pitchman of magic in the UK. I wasn't disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed watching him spend four full days working the crowd. It was truly a sight to behold.

When Ken set up his tables in the dealer's room at a convention there were always two people who were deeply upset---the dealers with the booths on either side of him! When Ken worked a convention, he really worked it, and did so in a loud, aggressive and 100% entertaining fashion. The moment you walked into the room it was easy to spot where Ken was located, you just looked for the biggest crowd in the room and usually it was flanked by two totally empty booths.

Ken put on a non-stop performance from the moment he took his place in his booth until he left the room at the end of the evening. He took a couple of breaks to partake of a cup of tea and sandwich, but the rest of the time he was selling magic at a rate that left many other dealers worried whether he was leaving the attendees with any cash in their pockets.

Ken was not just a gifted magician but he was a born pitchman who knew how to work a crowd into a wild frenzy--- often in fairly outrageous ways. He would make a one-time offer, "Four of you, give me five pounds for this package! No I won't bloody tell you what it is, in fact I won't even sell it to you now---not even for twenty quid!" People would begin pushing money across the stand like punters at a three-card game. They usually ended up buying enough extra items to offset any potential initial bargain. As a philanthropist Ken was a great businessman.

Often Ken would refuse to sell someone an item and just tell the potential customer that it wasn't the right trick for him or her to buy. "You just aren't the magician to make it work." He would say. In this manner he would ensure that this particular magician would spend an entertaining hour buying other items and trying to persuade Ken to sell him the "forbidden" item. Meanwhile everyone else crowded around the stand buying that mysterious trick just because Ken would sell it to them.

I wish I had Ken's savvy at manning my dealers table after a lecture. If you see me at an upcoming convention stop by and I will share dozens of other great Ken Brooke stories, then again I might just refuse to sell you something! I have never been backward at applying lessons I have learned. I am now busy setting up lectures and conventions throughout 2015, so if you want to book my lecture, workshop or master class Contact me at nicklewin1@mac.com

6. The Cub Scout Market - #359 - Kyle Peron

Why go into performing for Blue and Gold Banquets and what is really in it for you? This is what I would like to discuss next as I am sure many have thought about this market but are not really sure they want to take the leap without having some background knowledge.

If you are already performing for children, work a family-focused show or if you are even a strolling magician, then Blue and Gold banquets are a perfect extension of what you are already doing.

Most cub packs are very much like a big extended family for everyone involved. You showing up to perform is almost like showing up at a large family reunion of sorts. This is similar to doing a large birthday party where everyone knows each other. There are some obvious differences but the basic feel is of a family atmosphere.

If this is the case, then Blue and Gold banquets are a perfect market to get into where you can work them well with simply modifying your current show a bit and having an understanding of how to market to them.

With banquets usually running the month of February and into March, this can be a slow down time for birthday parties and your other markets. Blue and Gold banquets are a great way to gain more show bookings during this time.

Another great advantage of doing these types of performances is that it is a wonderful way to market yourself directly to the right age for birthday parties and your other of shows you offer. Most banquets are well attended with young families coming out to support their sons. This is a perfect demographic to be able to market yourself while at the banquet and get people seeing you for possible shows they may be wanting or needing in the future.

Another reason I enjoy this market is that I was a Scout and went through the Scouting program myself. Even if you have not, this is an excellent way of giving back to a great organization that does wonderful things for young boys.

The best part about this market is that you do not have to fear jumping into it. Many folks think of blue and gold banquet shows as being dropped into the middle of a pack of wild dogs. This does not and is often not the case.

If you know how to create a great, fun and interactive show, there is no reason at ALL why you cannot provide a great and fun experience for the group. If you can perform for children at a home, then you certainly have the skills to be able to do Blue and Gold banquets.

You also must understand that Cub Scouting is based upon learning control and self-discipline. The Cubmaster and Den Leaders will work with you to ensure proper conduct. The kids are also used to techniques used by the leaders to settle down and pay attention.

So I hope you can see that if you enjoy performing for children and families, that this is a great market that is wide open for you to explore
.
There are packs all over the world and every year they are wanting and needing entertainment solutions. YOU can be that solution and earn extra income during a slow time of the year.

***

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

7. Anthony Darkstone - In Conversation With Jeff McBride
--------------------------------------------
Message by Anthony Darkstone USA/Europe

Introduction

Those of you familiar with my series, both written & live, will know that I usually have an established way of introducing my Guests. Of necessity, this time I will deviate from my norm. As you peruse, my reasons will become self-evident.

It was an unusually cold night in Las Vegas. Christian Diamond, Jason Andrews and I were at Amazing Jonathan's Halloween Party a few years ago. Nick & Susan Lewin and many other Las Vegas notables were also there. It was all that a show-biz magical party should be: a haunted house designed by Steve Daly, and stunning nubile ladies dancing and whirling fire. I was even fed peeled shrimp by Penny Wiggins.

As the festivities progressed, I found myself in joyous conversation with Joanie Spina (Respect. R.I.P) about the performance of magic. Totally unplanned, but like a finely written Hollywood script, a striking character in splendid doublet and a leather Venetian mask sauntered over and joined us. Joanie Spina introduced us. It was the first time I met Jeff McBride. Perfect timing and extremely apt; Joanie's introduction was all that was needed to set the seal on the topic of The Performance in Magic. Despite the fact that we have several mutual friends, it was the first time I had met him in person.

Jeff had been unable to attend my lecture at Boomers a few nights earlier but told me he had heard some very complimentary remarks about my lecture. Much to my amazement, he told me that he was intrigued by my Pythagoras Force and politely asked me if I would share. I was, to say the least, immensely flattered, and, if I am honest, also somewhat taken aback and more than a fraction nervous. I am not by any means a Cardician, let alone a Master Manipulator like Jeff McBride. I confess, the prospect of a double- lift sends me running in the opposite direction. I nervously made some feeble excuse about not having a deck of cards, or a place to perform. Jeff then reached into one of his myriad pouches, extracted a deck and walked me over to the parking lot, and, on the back of a flat-bed truck, I somewhat apprehensively showed him my Force. His reaction and kind words left me speechless.

Fast-forward to September 2013 when I was at Le Chateau Magique in Vegas to lecture on a non-magic related topic. I was greatly honored by the many eminent Vegas personalities that attended. Jeff arrived well in advance and after a warm friendly hug reached into one of his many pouches and said, "Abbi wanted to be here but sends her apologies and asked me to give you her CD." The signed CD to me by name, by both Abbi & Jeff, is one of my prized possessions. It is entitled, 'Family of Fire'. Beg, borrow or "steal" a copy. Actually, buy one: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/abigailspinnermcbride2

Is this an unashamed plug? Absolutely. More on this later in my future article on Abigail Spinner McBride. I am especially fond of Tracks 3 and 11 as it features a good friend of mine, Samina Oshun. It is playing in the background as I write.

After my lecture, he graciously invited me to lunch at his home the next day; after lunch he gave me a wonderful guided tour of his vast collection of objects d 'art and a library that would have been the envy of Alexandria. We kept in touch and recently, despite his busy international touring schedule, I managed to spend some quality time with Jeff and we sat down and conversed awhile.

AD: Hello Jeff. Thank you for spending some time with us. Let's dive straight in to your internationally known signature, the "Mask Act." You've performed that world-wide, live and on TV to the delight of both magicians and lay people. Tell us a little about the background.

JMcB: My pleasure. Great to be with you Tony. The "MaskAct" as you referred to it, was something that didn't evolve in the standard sense of the word. It was a combination of many factors and I honed it over many years. The starting point goes back to New York when I was 16 years old. Jerry Mascucci , who was a friend of my father's, was putting together a show for Asia with the legendary Salsa band, the ´Fania All-Stars´; fortunately, he saw something in me and booked me to travel with the show; that was a pivotal point in my life , when the philosophy of magic and the presentation of magic really came together. I was totally enthralled by the Asian culture and philosophy. The drama of "Kabuki" theatre stirred a dormant spark in my inner being to the very core. It changed me as a person. It changed me as a performer.

AD: Jerry Mascucci wasn't a magician was he?

JMcB: No, he wasn't but he was well-known within show-biz circles. His life story, right up until his death in Argentina in 1997, reads like a Hollywood script. As you know, he created the famous ´Fania All-Stars´ Band, a wonderful fusion of Latin & Jazz music. It revolutionized "Salsa." He was also the sole owner of Fania Records. He was an extraordinary man and a great promoter. He even joined forces one time with Don King and promoted a Muhammad Ali boxing event.

AD: … so that was a cool break for you?

JMcB: Yes it was, Tony. And much more! Much, much, more! As you and I share a passion for the esoteric, you will truly understand that sometimes a path beckons and we have to either shrink from it or step out of our comfort zones and begin a different walk.

AD: Absolutely Jeff. I agree wholeheartedly. Now this was when you were still in New York? Almost everyone associates you with Las Vegas as you epitomise the Las Vegas magic scene over several decades. But New York is your home state and city and where you began your interest in magic and eventually made it your career….

JMcB: Yes, I was born and (for the most part) raised in New York…and thank you Tony, I am honored to be thought of in this way in connection with Las Vegas. I feel a genuine passion for our art and while I make a living at it, I also share my art in the form of lectures, at McBride's Magic and Mystery School and in live appearances. I am proud to state that the Dean of our school is none other than our mutual friend, Eugene Burger. Apart from the physical school we also have Mystery School Monday, our live internet TV show which airs live every week at p.m. Pacific time in the USA.

9. European Close Up Symposium

Message by Obie Obrien

It is only a few days away from the "European Close Up Symposium" in Milan Italy. If you like close up you should attend this small convention on Nov.21-23 at the Sunflower hotel in Milan Italy. Honored guest this year is Flip from Holland. Other names you might know are Giobbi, Tabary, Trabuk, Dessi, Addeo, Kaine, Polli, Van Dokkum, Franzis, Gea, Ortiz, Mainart, Eric Jones, and many more. It is a great convention in which you will be able to talk to and maybe get lessons in magic from these great super stars. I will be there also. You will have a great time at the 3rd European Close Up Symposium.

Hope to see you there.

10. FISM - The Four Horses Fountain Of Rimini
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)

The Fontana dei Quattro Cavalli, or The Four Horse Fountain, in Rimini's Frederico Fellini Park, is a monument with a history that is far more interesting than that of your average fountain. Inaugurated on June 29, 1928 during the Fascist period, the fountain was made by local artisan, Fillogenio Fabbri. It's inauguration, complete with pomp and ceremony, was attended by half of Rimini. At the time, the fountain was considered the crowning glory of the seafront. However, just six years later it was decided that the fountain was undesirable in its original location, and was moved to the Marecchia Park. Later the horses were separated from the fountain and stored elsewhere.

In 1983, after a long battle fought by a private citizen, Umberto Bartolani, and with the help of the artisan, Ugo Stentorie, the fountain was relocated to it's original position at his expense. Wandering around the shady walkways of the Fellini Park, named after Rimini's most famous artist, Federico Fellini (who will be described in a future blog) it's hard to imagine a time when the fountain didn't sit there, and back in their original location, the horses of the fountain have become a Rimini landmark.

Come to Rimini in July and judge for yourself. In which park does the Four Horse Fountain belong?

11. Creating Theatrical Magic By Max Howard
--------------------------------------------
Message by Lawrence Hass

Theory and Art of Magic Press is proud to announce one of its two new fall book releases: Creating Theatrical Magic by Max Howard.

Five years in the making, Creating Theatrical Magic carries the subtitle: "A Study of The War Wizard and the Actor as Magician." As this title conveys, the book uncovers the fundamental elements of theater, stagecraft, and acting that transform common "tricks" into powerful, emotional experiences of magic. It does this through a detailed study of The War Wizard-the highly acclaimed historical magic show that Max Howard and Diane Bray have been performing for over thirty years.

Included in this book-DVD package are:

-video of the entire The War Wizard show, plus alternate videos of the magic performed in it and instructional videos (over 2.5 hours of video content).

-the script for the show, including extensive annotations about its theatrical elements.

-explanations of all the magic, including Max Howard's modern classic, "The Wand and Bottle".

-running commentary throughout that illuminates the work and process of giving life to a fully-realized, theatrically powerful magic show.

The retail price of the 256 page hardcover book, with DVD, is $49.99. It is available for immediate shipping from www.TheoryandArtofMagic.com. Magic retailers should contact
Murphy's Magic Supplies.

Adele, "Blackstone's Elusive Moth," Discusses Being In The Blackstone Sr. Magic Show

...
A while back I discovered that I had an original film reel of the Blackstone Sr. Show. Over the weekend, at the Yankee Gathering (November 6-8, 2014), I video taped Adele Friel Rhindress watching the silent video and describing the various acts in the show -- including the only known video record of her own Elusive Moth act!

Adele is one of my favorite people and a great friend. Adele was "Blackstone's Elusive Moth" when she traveled, as a teenager, with Harry Blackstone Sr. in the 1940s.

Enjoy!

14. SAM Convention Is Vacation Destination
--------------------------------------------
Message by Mark Weidhaas (US)

SAM Convention is Vacation Destination for Magicians and their Families The 2015 Society of American Magicians (SAM) convention in Philadelphia July 1-4 will be exciting for magicians and their families. Magicians will see fresh new talent perform in the three evening gala shows, including "The transformation of Vaudeville," "The Heart and Soul of
Magic," and Miguel Puga's one-man show "Concerto for Piano & Pasteboards." The professional close-up show features the magic of Spain with Woody Aragon, Hector Mancha, Juan Luis Rubiales and Mario Lopez.

Who will win the prestigious Father Cyprian Murray Stage Magic Contest and the Dr. Paul Critelli Close-Up Magic Contest? And don't forget the ever-popular "Stars of Tomorrow" show which has been a launching pad for magic's newest stars.

The SAM will bring back Eric Jones and his team of underground magicians for late-night jam sessions. Select Workshop Sessions will allow you to choose your favorite hands-on learning experience in an intimate setting. The magic lectures will focus on close-up, stage, family entertainers, mentalism and magic history.

Over 20 magic exhibitors from around the world will be featured with ample time to see the newest creations. The SAM banquet will include a surprise performer, the Milbourne Christopher Foundation Awards, and opportunity to congratulate President Kenrick "Ice" McDonald, President-Elect David Bowers and Convention Honoree Ray Goulet.

Bring the kids for the Society of Young Magicians (SYM) All-day Magic Jam on June 30, 2015 which promises to be a fun day of hands-on training for SYM members and young magicians, age 7 to 17, by the SYM's top instructors including David Oliver, Arlen Solomon and Kayla Drescher. A free event included with your youth registration for the SAM
Philadelphia Convention.

Philadelphia and the SAM convention is a family destination for all. While the magician in your family is learning from the experts, the non-magician will be entertained with our excellent shows and contests.

In addition, twice daily, the SAM and members of local Assembly #4 will offer free walking tours of historic Philadelphia. See the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the U.S. Mint, and Betsy Ross House, all within a short walking distance of the convention hotel. The SAM will even include FREE admission to National Constitution Center (normally $14.50). You will want to spend hours at this interactive museum dedicated to the US Constitution. Once you see how close these historic landmarks are, you will want to come back at your own leisure, have a cheese steak or pretzel, or visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the steps from Rocky or the Franklin Institute science museum. Don't forget to end the convention with a bang and the best the best fireworks on Saturday, July 4th at 11 pm.

Philadelphia offers a grand vacation for your entire family. Where's the best place to celebrate July 4th? The place it all began: Philadelphia.

The convention hotel is located downtown next to the famous Reading Terminal Market, the famous indoor foodie paradise. The Marriott Philadelphia Downtown is located at 1201 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. Convention registration and hotel reservations can be made at http://magicsam.com/annual-convention/.
