Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

In this conclusion of our chat, Paul Daniels moves from talking about his television years and focuses more on his more recent activities including performing as Max Malini at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, his DIY accident where he cut off a part of his finger, his legacy put down on a new DVD called "Bravura", his current "live" touring show, and more. Paul continues to live a most magical and wonderful life, full of fun and interesting stories from his international exploits. I appreciate him sharing many of them with me on this podcast.

You can watch a video presentation of his famous Chop Cup routine, see some photos and listen to the podcast on The Magic Word Podcast at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/paul-daniels-part-2

And while you're on the website, please take two more minutes to watch my video at http://www.patreon.com/themagicword where for as little as one dollar a month you can do a lot to support The Magic Word. If all of the listeners would just commit to any amount regardless of how small of a donation, it would help a lot. All funds go to offset the expenses to the domain provider to host the podcast, software and hardware and travel to conventions to interview these magicians.

As an aside, I don't always use the income for direct podcast expenses. For example, all income this past month received through Patreon supporters was given to the Magi-Fest to help pay for a youth registration who may not have otherwise been financially able to attend. I wish we could have given more for this worthy effort.

3. American Masters Airs On Friday
--------------------------------------------
Message by William Bowers (US)

Magician Ricky Jay is profiled on American Masters airing Friday, January 23rd at 9 pm

For the first time in the series' 29-year history, American Masters profiles a magician: the inimitable Ricky Jay, one of the world's greatest conjurers, a best-selling author, historian, actor and leading collector of antiquarian books and artifacts.

Journey through the mysterious world of sleight-of-hand through new interviews with Jay, his friends and collaborators, including writer/director David Mamet. Tracing the story of Jay's achievement, beginning at age four as apprentice to his grandfather Max Katz, an accomplished amateur magician, the documentary features rare footage of some of the most influential magicians of the 20th century: Cardini, Slydini, Al Flosso, Dai Vernon and Charles Miller.

Narrated by Dick Cavett, the film also features rare performance footage from Jay's one-man shows and classic TV appearances, among them a hilarious turn with Steve Martin on Dinah Shore's 1970s program. Filmmakers Molly Bernstein and Alan Edelstein explore the arduous demands of the magician's craft, the use of language and storytelling central to the art, and this ancient tradition's future.
"Ricky Jay: Deceptive Practice" on American Masters airs on Friday, January 23rd at 9 pm on channel 3.

Message by Nick Lewin (US)

Magic goings on in Texas!

I want to focus this week on some great upcoming magical events right here in the Lone Star State of Texas. We have many fine magicians living here and there are quite a few cool events to add to the magical calendar. If you live in neighboring states then maybe you might plan on visiting us to catch them.

February 28th is the date of the annual world famous magic auction here in Austin. It is always a red-letter day for lovers of magic who want to acquire that exciting rare prop or book. This event has been around for over three decades and they certainly do it right. You can get all the information to join in the fun from their website at http://austinmagicauction.com

I am very excited to be part of "Magic at the Vortex" a really great magical event on January 21st. Fellow Austinite magician Patrick Terry has been quietly turning this wonderful little theatre complex into a new home for quality magic. This is his third event at The Vortex and the two of us will be performing an evening of unique magic. Performing a guest spot in the show will actually be my first public appearance in my new hometown and I am greatly looking forward to it.

Patrick Terry is a very talented magician who is also developing quite a reputation as a magic producer. Terry was born in Americus, Georgia and in 2002 moved to New York where he started to really hone his performing skills, working with one of my favorite groups of magicians --- the Monday Night Magic team. Terry also appeared in many college and private venues where his audiences included many celebrities and even some members of a Royal Family or two.

In 2013 Patrick created and produced the first of his acclaimed "Wondershow" productions in New York City. The show, a modern vaudevillian experience with an emphasis on the magical arts, quickly became a NY favorite. It is considered by many to be a major vision of the way our art form can be successfully presented to modern audiences.

On March 20th and 21st Terry will be bringing his "Wondershow" to Austin for its premiere engagement outside the Big Apple. This production will also be housed at the delightful Vortex theatre, which should prove to be a perfect venue for the event. A unique showroom, elegant bar and delicious food from one of Austin's ubiquitous food trucks make this the perfect spot to spread the "Wondershow" brand.

Flying in to participate in "Wondershow," will be my good friend the multi-talented Andrew Goldenhersh. In my opinion Andrew is one of the brightest lights in the contemporary magic scene and it is always a delight to watch him present his quirky and singular magic. Also being imported for the event will be Marcus Monroe --- a rock star amongst jugglers, and Vinny DePonto, an innovative conjuror hailed by the New York Daily News as "delightful and terrifying." Celebrated storyteller Peter Aguero will be hosting the event, which will feature local performers and musicians to round out the two-hour show.

To find out more details about "Wondershow" and purchase tickets (it will certainly sell out) visit the Vortex website at http://www.vortexrep.org If you would like to view a brief video from Patrick Terry's last performance in the theatre, check it out at http://vimeo.com/116761601 I will look forward to bringing you an in depth review of "Wondershow" at a future date.

Rounding out some other upcoming Texas magic, I am delighted to say I will be presenting my magic lecture in the cities of Houston on 26th January and in San Antonio on the 28th January. If you want more details of these events then contact me at lewinenterprises@gmail.com and I can give you all the facts and figures.

I should not forget to mention that Austin will be hosting this year's annual TAOM convention from September 4-7th. This is always a fabulous event and 2015 has a great line up scheduled which even includes the opportunity to visit the world famous "Esther's Follies." If you haven't visited "Esther's …" then you may have missed the chance to watch the amazing Ray Anderson. As I have stated in the past, Ray is not just an outstanding magical performer but may very well be the funniest magician working today. I attended his show four times last year and each visit was an education and a delight.

My message is simple, if you want to catch some great magic this year, then "all y'all" should think about a trip to Texas. Don't even get me started on the barbecue food and breakfast tacos you can enjoy during your visit!

8. T.A.G. Time - #348 - Kyle Peron

Message by Kyle Peron (US)

I am very fortunate I get to perform most all shows with my wife. This week I had to do a solo show and it got me thinking a lot in regards to load in, set up, show performance, break down and load out. A lot of it I took for granted because we are a team and I do not do many solo performances.

The more I thought about it, the more I started to come up with a concept I have known for years but never really put down on paper. I had always thought of it but never to this level.

I feel it is very important to our marketing and to our business model and I am sure it would be for yours as well.

I call it T.A.G. (TAG). TAG stands for Time At Gig. I started to realize I needed to know what my TAG time was and break down my TAG time. Learn from it and study it and determine in what ways I can make it benefit me.

First, TAG time can be broken down to include the following. Each associated with a time element to it:

- load in at the show
- set up of the show once items are at performance "staging area"
- performance of the show
- any after show add ons you may do
- break down of the show
- load out and pack up
In essence it is the total time spent from the moment you arrive at the event till you pull away to head home or to another gig.

Each of these (listed above) has a time associated with it. Each of these TAG times may also differ according to what market I may be working. A birthday party show may have a TAG time less than say a corporate illusion show.

For me this revelation of defining it in this fashion really made sense to me. I now have TAG times for every market I do and every show.

Now why is this important? Well for most of us, we would love and have done multiple show days. If you do not know your TAG time, then you spend an awkward moment trying to calculate when you can get to another gig. You end up spending too much time figuring it out and that makes for human error. It also causes possible problems with a prospect because you are not on top of your game.

If I know my Birthday Party TAG time is 2 hour (example), then I know I can easily use that to determine exactly when I am available to do the next event. This makes doing double or triple book days much easier.

I want to always find a balance. This means keeping my TAG time reasonable without losing any quality to the show I present and perform. If I can lower my TAG time while maintaining a quality show, then this becomes a winning formula for me.

I then can perform more events in a day and earn more income in the process. I do not have to spend a lot of time figuring out when I can do the next event, because I would already know.

This can also allow you to locate areas where you can make improvements. If you realize your TAG time is too long, then you can dissect it using the list above. Find which area is taking the most time and then figure a way to cut that time down.

This could simply mean a better way of packing up your equipment so you make less trips to and from the car.

The TAG principle really does work and I encourage each of you to give it a try. Write it down and go through it for each of your markets and shows. Have it written down and learn from it. I know you will not only find ways in which to improve it, but it can also benefit your business greatly.

If you do give TAG a try, I would love to hear from you.

***

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://www.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.

9. In Conversation With Abigail Spinner McBride #1
--------------------------------------------
Message from Anthony Darkstone
Europe/USA

We sometimes come across the term, "Renaissance Man." It is used to describe extremely talented and remarkable people. Abigail Spinner McBride is an extremely talented and remarkable Lady. Therefore, I have every reason to describe Abigail as a "Renaissance Lady." She is a Spiritual, Esoteric, and Versatile Musician, Singer, Dancer, Percussionist, Writer, Priestess, Businesswoman, and a Magicenne. And for the three people reading this who may not have heard of her, she is also the wife of Jeff McBride. Graceful and beautiful both inside and visually, she not only excels at all of the above, but is also a true inspiration to all those who know and cherish her.

In the course of my "In Conversation" article on Jeff McBride, I got to discover some of the talents and skills of this remarkable Lady. In the interests of sharing, I thought it only right to bring you some of my discoveries with a focus on Magic.

http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/AbbiSpinnerMcBride

AD: Thank you, Abigail, for taking the time to spend in conversation. You are known for several accomplishments, and it is, in some ways, a mite difficult to know where to start, as I first saw you some years ago Fire Dancing at a Vegas Halloween Party. I shall begin by asking you to talk a little bit about your dancing and more specifically your incorporation of Fire in your Dance.

AM: My pleasure Tony. Always a joy conversing with a kindred spirit. Fire. I think of fire as transformational. As with all things that are transformational, it is to be respected and honored and can, as we all know, be dangerous to those who do not fully understand its power. For me, it is a vital Spiritual element and the same thinking, of respect, knowledge and honor, applies to all elements in the physical world. Fire, as you know plays a vital role in all religious beliefs, some more than others, but in one sense or another it is present in many religious, spiritual, physical and psychological concepts. It can be the flame of a single candle of devotion, the eruption of a volcano or indeed the Sun itself and of course, all things in-between.

Poets, songwriters, philosophers, etc., have written of Fire. Often we describe our passion for something or someone as "our hearts being on fire, or ablaze," … the light of a single candle to open the darkness, the sacred fire of many Spiritual Gatherings, etc. For me personally, the lighting of the Shabbat candles in our family home just before sunset on Friday evenings stirred something in me. The ritual, as you know began in the tent of Abraham and was performed by Sarah his first wife. Subsequently by Rebecca his second wife. This is more than a tradition in a Jewish household; it is a prayer ritual in which the flame plays a vital role. It is part of the blessings of peace, light & harmony. As a young girl, I was allowed to light a single candle. The significance of the mystical quality of the flame was written upon my soul, and as I grew, it drew me deeper into the esoteric nature of Fire.

AD: So, not surprisingly, Fire incorporated itself into your dance performances and your quest for the mystical…

AM: Yes Tony. You yourself have spent time attending Shabbat rituals, in Europe, America and also in Israel, and so perhaps have a deeper understanding & appreciation of the significance. And yes, I am very respectful of fire. I really feel that Fire, in all its forms, must be respected. Incorporating fire into some of my dance routines, my magic performances and other allied activities was not something I did overnight. I studied about how to incorporate fire within those activities. Without proper training and study anyone deciding to, if you pardon the cliché, "play with fire" will indeed suffer the consequences.

AD: I heard that you had an incident on stage one time, not necessarily your fault …


AM: Yes I did. In spite of my background and training, I have first-hand experience with this. In 1993, during a live performance, I made a bad mistake. I was supposed to pick up a pre-set flash pot and set it discreetly on the stage, so at the opportune moment, Jeff could step on the switch and set off an impressive flash of sparks and fire… ah, that black powder flash, nothing quite like it. Unfortunately, the flash pot had been pre-set backwards, and when I went to pick it up, I hit the trigger and sent the explosion off, right into the palm of my hand. The good news was that I was wearing a full head Kabuki mask, so the audience couldn't see the expression of pain and shock on my face. The bad news was that I had to do a two minute fire-eating solo right after the end of the Kabuki number, as everyone else had a costume change then, so… the show went on, and I did my fire-eating segment, while trying very hard not to cry on-stage, not sure if I could move my hand enough to hold the torch, not really sure about anything except finishing the number and getting off-stage… where the wardrobe assistant was waiting with a bucket of ice water, and the paramedics were already on the way…. The show went on without me, and I went to the hospital and got treated for one of the worst burns the poor young doctor had ever seen. I remember the paramedic telling me he was pleasantly surprised by the fact that my hand was still attached to my arm, and that's when everything gets hazy…. Through the power of silvadene burn cream, positive visualization, and actively seeking the lesson to be learned, I was able to heal completely, and you can't even see the scars…. So, yes, I have a healthy respect for the element of fire.

AD: What a terrible experience. That has got to rank way up high on the list of performance mishaps. I am glad that was a long while ago and that you are completely healed. A side of Show-Biz that, thank goodness, the audience never gets to see or know about. You spoke to me earlier about Fire being transformational… care to expand…

AM: Happily. Fire and all the elements are part of the nature of all beings; or least, they should be. I know that like Jeff and many of my close friends, you yourself are passionate about the Esoteric. So you will understand when I refer to an "inner calling to service" that draws me to the elements. Fire, as I said before, is transformational. It is part of Alchemy. I attend and often help facilitate Sacred Fire Circles in the desert. Some of these are private; others are open to those who feel the call to attend. Our mutual friend Eugene Burger and many mutual Magician friends have attended those several times. I call it and them, a Family of Fire.

AD: Yes indeed. I know that location in the desert well and am honored to have performed ceremony there … so, apart from the obvious mystical & esoteric aspects of these ceremonies, there is also much to be learnt and applied to Magical performances.

AM: In a word, Yes. As we teach at The Mystery School - Magic can be funny, dramatic, etc., but is always about Entertainment. As our Dean, Eugene Burger states, "What do you want your Magic to be?" Whatever answer a Magician or Magicenne gives, it must always entertain. To do that well, all Magic performances must contain an element of, at the very least, mystery and at best, be Mystical to some degree.

13. FISM - Juliana Chen
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)

I need to confess something at the very beginning. I love Juliana. She's one of my favorite people, and I'm absolutely delighted she'll be in Rimini, performing at FISM. Juliana won First Place at FISM in 1997 in Dresden, Germany with her signature card routine.

Juliana possesses supreme manipulation skills in card manipulation. She has the capacity to scale a stream of cards at incredible distances. Aside from her sleight-of-hand wizardry, she also captivates audiences with her beautiful illusions flavored with dance, music and theatrics.

She was the first female and first Chinese magician to win first place at FISM. Since then she has been invited to perform in many countries in Europe, Asia and North America. She has performed in such illustrious theatres as the London Palladium, the Princess Grace Theatre in Monte Carlo, Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Tiger Palest in Frankfurt, the NHK theatre in Japan and the Berlin Wintergarten.

Born in China, she was selected to train at the Hunan Academy for the Performing Arts. She began to train in ballet, and later acrobatics and juggling. In her teen years she toured internationally with the Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe.

She injured her leg several times, and was advised by doctors to abandon foot juggling. While recovering, she saw Shimada perform on television and was intrigued by the way he combined magic and Japanese culture. She decided to learn magic. Juliana is nothing if not determined. Four years after she first began practicing, she was recognized as the best magician in China when she won the All-China Best Magician competition.

Juliana moved to Vancouver Canada in1988, where she worked in sales and later graphics, while continuing to practice magic. In 1992 her efforts were rewarded with a first place win at the International Brotherhood of Magicians convention.

She became a Canadian citizen; however in 2002 Juliana moved to Las Vegas and in 2003 was nominated Stage Magician of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood. She appeared on the cover of prominent magic magazines and in several TV specials.

In 1999 Juliana became the artistic director of the Shanghai International Magic Festival, held every two years. This is the largest magic festival in China, sponsored by the Shanghai Circus, TV and Media Group.

Juliana was instrumental in helping to open China to Western magicians by inviting the executives of the Chinese Acrobatic and Magic Association to attend the IBM convention in Quebec City, Canada. This encouraged the formation of an IBM Ring in China and their eventual involvement with FISM.

--------------------------------------------
Message by Adam Mada (Australia)

TV MAGIC - are you a creator/inventor and want airtime for your effects?

I'm an Australian magician, being a resident on ABC 3 TV in Australia, doing regular TV magic as you know burns material up fast. I have many spots on National TV booked ready to go for 2015.

I'm after your help, if you're a creator or have new tricks you are bringing to market, and want to have them featured drop me a line. I'm after snappy modern effects that will translate well on camera.

15. Schedule Unveiled For South Tyneside Magic Convention
--------------------------------------------
Message by Claire Buchan (UK)

Magicians from around the world are being given the chance to learn more about everything from mentalism to card play with the return of a special, three-day event.

The South Tyneside International Magic Festival (S.T.I.M.F.) Convention, based primarily at the Customs House, South Shields, returns with a weekend of lectures, workshops and performances in March.

Event organisers, South Tyneside Council and magician John Archer, have just released a full itinerary for the popular event, which annually attracts professional performers from around the globe.

This year's convention, which is expected to be a sell-out, will open at 9am on Friday March 13 and begin with a children's show and lecture by family magician Russ Brown.

After lunch, there will be lectures by multi award-winning mentalist Satori and card expert John Carey, who promises that "attendees will leave with more than one idea to add to their repertoire."

At the end of the day attendees will be given free entry to a public Gala Show, featuring performances by six acts, including illusionists Diamond and Jade and mind-reader Luke Jermay, as well as access to an exclusive Midnight Show for those able to stay awake.

Day two will begin with lectures by eccentric and theatrical performer Kieron Lefever and dynamic mind-reader, Atlas, followed later by comedy magician The Great Nardini and mentalist Luke Jermay. Saturday's afternoon session will offer visitors the chance to enjoy a special close up workshop with Luke, along with card masterminds John Carey and Gordon Bruce.

This will be followed by a second public Gala Show featuring comedy magician Michael Finney, children's entertainer Dave Andrews, illusionists High Jinx and many more.

The South Tyneside International Magic Festival Convention 2015 will close on Sunday March 15, with lectures by card manipulator Gordon Bruce and multi-award winning Michael Finney.

For those eager to learn even more, there will also master-classes available with Atlas and Looch and Satori at 3pm, although these must be pre-booked at an additional cost.

A variety of dealers will also be on hand throughout the convention, with stalls open 9am to 6pm Friday, 9.30am until 6pm Saturday and 10am until 2pm Sunday. An additional dealer showcases will be held on Saturday only, offering visitors the chance to hear from trade suppliers in more detail.

Magician John Archer, who is assisting South Tyneside Council in managing this year's event, said: "The line-up for the South Tyneside International Magic Convention 2015 is one of the most eclectic we've ever had, drawing in experts from around the world to entertain and inform.

"I'm confident that there is something on offer to suit every specialism and I can't wait to welcome our regular attendees and new friends."

Tickets for the S.T.I.M.F convention, which runs from Friday March 13 to Sunday March 15, are available now priced at £65 per person. For more information, or to book, call 0191 4247986 or email events@southtyneside.gov.uk. Further details can also be found at www.southtynesidemagic.com

16. The Incredible Dr. Jaks
--------------------------------------------
Message by Brad Zinn

The Book
His beloved Book of Mysteries began its trip through various magic owners, including friends of Jaks, a couple of attorneys, and a magic manufacturer. At last, in 1987, Robert L. Bluemle had the beautiful book in his hands. Inside the leather-bound book were two trays of compartments that held the various magic props. He commissioned a jewelry photographer to shoot close-up shots of the book's exotic and artistic items in bright color, and he became even more caught up in the life of Siegbert Stanley Jaks. A short time later he contacted Leo Behnke in Los Angeles, and they began to put together the life of Dr. Jaks. Bob would write the biography, and Leo collected the tricks and rewrote them so they were all in a matching style.

For over two years they gathered material, not only biographical facts but photos of Jaks and his friends in Europe and America, all the variations of his tricks, and most of the cartoons and artwork that Jaks used in his magazine articles, advertising, and correspondence. During this time, Bob also put together a lecture about Jaks and his fabulous book of miracles that was illustrated by slides of the props. This was presented to various magic clubs, and was also a feature of the November, 1988, issue of M.U.M., the magazine for the Society of American Magicians.

Through the following years Bob maintained his interest in Jaks by continuing to collect photos and information, but the press of work and a divorce made his time much more valuable. He finally moved to Vermont in 2001 to be closer to his two daughters, and started to enjoy a retired life.

On 8 May, 2014, Robert Bluemle passed away at the age of 80, and it looked as though the book about Jaks was doomed to vanish forever. Ken Klosterman heard about the finished but unpublished manuscript, and contacted Leo about publishing it in the memory of Bluemle. Leo agreed, and after 28 years the book was put into final shape for printing and distributing.
Two editions

There are two editions available to close-up magicians, mentalists, historians, collectors, or those who like an intriguing story about a fascinating character. Although each book has the identical text and medley of 70 of Jaks's tricks, each cover has its own design.

Trade Edition
The book of 296 pages is bound in a dark red cloth matching the leather of Dr. Jaks's original book, matching headbands and footbands, with gold titles on the spine and the front cover. It also has a 24-page section of full-color photos, and complete directions for the 70 Dr.Jaks tricks.

Collector's Edition
This copy is printed the same as the other edition, but is bound in dark red leather and is decorated in gold and black to match the cover of the original Book of Mysteries. There are endbands at the head and foot of the spine, a special bookmark and a Dr. Jaks bookplate are enclosed, and a colophon is tipped-in with the signatures of both Ken Klosterman and Leo Behnke. Each copy is numbered as one of fifty copies, and is enclosed in a red cloth-covered slipcase.

Both editions are available for sale from the publisher: Ken Klosterman 6600 Smith Road Loveland OH 45140

After 28 years, the Dr. Jaks book is finally available so all members of the magic arts can read about, and appreciate, what the man did for our profession. He changed and paved the way for future practitioners of those two arts to be considered artists, as well as earn larger fees. Those two fields of conjuring are the artistic presentation of close-up and the legitimate presentation of mentalism.

Thank you, Dr. Stanley Jaks . . .
"The Incredible Dr. Jaks"
Trade edition: $79.00
Collector's edition: $169.00

17. Blackburn And District Society Of Magicians
--------------------------------------------
Message by Dr Roger Woods (UK)

Dr Roger Woods AIMC* was installed as President of The Modern Mystic League (Blackburn & District Society of Magicians) for the third time on 11th January, 2015. He is a lawyer, magician, musician, author, lecturer and publisher. His interest in conjuring began with a David Nixon magic set when he was ten years old. Roger was a Solicitor and then Barrister with the Crown Prosecution Service for over twenty five years, but since his retirement has been able to spend more time with magic.

He is an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle, previously Chairman of The Modern Mystic League, and a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (Order of Merlin Shield), the Northern Magic Circle (President 2013 - 2014) and the Cavendish Knights of Close up Magic.

Roger, who has five degrees in law and the arts, has lectured extensively on law and magic since the 1980s. He offers magic talks suitable for all kinds of clubs and societies. He has written a number of books on magic history (several co-authored with Brian Lead MIMC) and won many awards. Details appear on his web site www.rogerwoodsmagic.co.uk.

Apart from magic history and biography, Roger's main interest lies in close up magic although he strongly believes that a wide curiosity in all aspects of magic is the most fruitful.

Roger has recently published two new books. Chris Van Bern: The Busy 'B'; The original British magician and Variety Performer is a biography of Chris Van Bern (1872? - 1950) christened The Busy 'B' by The Magician Monthly in 1911 because of his versatility as a variety performer.

His presentations were original and he was something of a 'character'. He became a member of so many local magic clubs throughout the UK that it is believed his record has never been surpassed by anyone. A generous man to all magicians he co-authored A Whirlwind of Wizadry with De Vega. His career lasted over 40 years. There is a particular interest for The Magic Circle as in 1946 he donated all his magic society medals and jewels to the Society's museum. This paperback book is available on Lulu.com price £12. The e book version is also available on Lybrary.com price £8.26 (i.e. $12).

The Centenary History of The Modern Mystic League (Blackburn and District Society of Magicians) 1914 - 2014 is also available on Lulu.com and the paperback version is priced at £30 and the e book version at £5. This book of 189 pages tells the story of Roger's local society from the founding by nine Blackburn gentlemen in February, 1914 to the present day. Fully illustrated in colour, eleven chapters set out the ups and downs of the MML with the final chapter detailing the events of the Centenary year, 2014.
