3. FISM - Florence
--------------------------------------------
Message by Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)
Florence
is one of my favorite Italian cities, and considered by
many to be an open-air museum.
I
love to travel, and a new FISM venue every three years gives
me the excuse to explore places I wouldn't otherwise see.
Although I've been to Italy numerous times, I'm heading
back to Florence before FISM. George and I spent our 18th
anniversary there and loved it.
I strongly recommend that you fly to Florence and take the
train from there to Rimini. If you are interested in architecture,
for example, you don't need to visit any museums: many of
the palaces and squares are masterpieces of their own.
Many
of the great palaces and piazzas in Florence are spectacular.
The main squares often display statues by Giambologna or
Michelangelo while Ponte Vecchio, Old Bridge, is a treasure.
Florence's
museums, palaces, and churches house some of the greatest
artistic treasures in the world.
Cross
the Ponte Vecchio is Giardino di Boboli, a huge park on
a hillside in the middle of Florence behind the Pitti Palace.
These gardens were created by the Medici family in the 16th
century. The beautiful and varied Italianesque garden is
home to a large number of statues and fountains. The gardens
have passed through several stages of enlargement and restructuring
work. They were enlarged in the 17th century to their present
extent and have come to form an outdoor museum of garden
sculpture that includes Roman antiquities as well as later
works. Within it, eight different galleries feature art,
costumes, jewelry, and the apartments. It opens daily at
8:15
Spanning
the Arno River, the Ponte Vecchio is one of Florence's oldest
and most photographed bridges. Noted for its three segmented
arches, the bridge was first built by the Etruscans and
later rebuilt in the 14th century. The bridge's most striking
feature is the line of high-end jewelry shops flanking along
each of its edges. Night time presents stunning views when
the lighting from the bridge is reflected upon the water.
Dominating
the panoramic view of Florence is the Santa Maria del Fiore,
the domed cathedral that is often called the Duomo. Known
today as the world's largest masonry dome, this majestic
cathedral features 600 years' worth of stunning architecture
and art works. From its beautiful Gothic facade of red,
green and white marble to its elaborate interior of stained-glass
windows, mosaics, frescoes and bronze statues, the Duomo
complex also includes the impressive structures of the Baptistery
and Giotto's bell tower. A climb to the top gives you an
incredible view of Florence and outlying valley.
Hotel
Palazzuolo is $106/night with breakfast and close to old
city.

4. FISM - Mike Caveney
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)
Mike
is, by his own admission, a FISM junkie. Ever since his
first FISM in 1976 he has been hooked.
In
1976 Mike was working for Johnson Products making gimmicked
coins. When he decided to have a dealer booth at FISM he
made a variety of tricks using foreign coins. They had never
seen this kind of thing in Europe and his business did very
well. He didn't know how good the convention would be beforehand
but Vienna turned out to be one of the greatest FISMs ever.
I was booked to perform at the next one in Brussels and
it continued from there. He has worked at 5 FISMs.
His
wife, Tina Lenert has attended 8 FISM conventions and performed
at all of them with 5 different acts.
2015
in Rimini will be his 14th straight. He says, "Think
of all the conventions you have ever attended as being high
school track meets and then think of FISM as the Olympic
Games. There is nothing else like it." Over the decades
he has made many FISM friends. These are people whom he
normally only sees once every three years at FISM. It is
always a great reunion.
He is also addicted to the competition. He spends hours
in the theater, afraid to leave for even a few minutes because
he might miss the best act of the week. He has been to good
FISMs and not so good FISMs and even the not so good ones
are fantastic.
The
gang in Italy is saying that this will be the best FISM
ever. Mike intends to find out for himself by spending a
week in Italy. Working FISM is always an honor but this
time he'll be there just for fun. He hopes you will too
because he always enjoys making new FISM friends. See you
in Rimini.

5. My First Magic Shop
--------------------------------------------
Message by Stan Allen, Editor of MAGIC Magazine
Do you remember the first magic shop you visited?
In this month's cover story on Disneyland's Main Street
Magic, we cover just a few of the magicians who credit their
start to this tiny little shop in the Magic Kingdom. And
you can add my name to that list.
I would spend a day at Disneyland with my magic friends,
and we would visit all three shops - Main Street, Merlin's,
and the Magicland at the Disneyland Hotel. I'm sure we asked
"What's that?" a million times before purchasing
a new effect for our "shows."
With the park celebrating its sixtieth anniversary on July
17, it seemed like a great time to cover "The Magic
Inside the Magic Kingdom." Who better to write the
behind-the scenes story than someone who is an even bigger
Disney fan than I am, and who actually worked at Main Street
Magic: Kari Hendler.
We also cover Dan White, Lynetta Welch, the AMA Awards Show,
The Surrealists, Masters of Illusion, Impossibilities, a
"Tomorrowland" magic show, and a lot more.
The July 2015 issue of MAGIC Magazine is currently in the

Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star
The
Illusionists have been setting box office records around
the world with their mind-blowing magic show. Seven of the
world's top magic entertainers have performed and delighted
audiences from Sydney's Opera House to Broadway theaters
in New York City. This week on The Magic Word, we sit down
with a few of the cast members to talk about their tour,
some of the memorable experiences on the road (good and
bad) and how they were selected to be on the tour.
During
the chat, we are joined by David Williamson who was coming
in to fill in for Jeff Hobson for one day. This changed
the dynamic of the conversation as you can imagine and made
for a rollicking good time. After our chat, I saw Antonio
Hoyos in the lobby and he told me more stories about his
years working as the little person "Charlie Chaplin"
for Kevin James and his years as the little person "Roy"
with Siegfried and Roy.

7. Remarkable Magic #394 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
The
trick that made me want to be a magician.
Like
most magicians my initial interest in magic was sparked
at an early age by the gift of a magic set. Then I discovered
the joys of the magic catalogue and the special thrill of
an occasional visit to an actual magic shop. It quickly
became an exciting and rewarding hobby.
At
the age of eleven I persuaded my parents to take me to one
of the monthly magic shows hosted by the London Society
of Magicians at the Conway Hall in London. That was when
everything changed and I realized that magic was going to
be more than just an enjoyable hobby for me.
The
headliner of that show was the legendary Irish magician
Billy McComb, and it was watching McComb perform that I
realized that magic was something even more special an important
to me than I could ever have guessed. Billy was a riot to
watch, he kept the audience in stiches from the moment he
walked onstage right up until he received is final ovation.
McComb
presented a lot of great magic that night---he even produced
a live hen! However there was one particular trick he performed
that impressed me beyond anything I had seen before; it
could have been the simplicity that made such a profound
impression on me. What was it that made such an impression
on me?
Billy
stood in the centre of the stage and while presenting a
non-stop stream of one-liner jokes he took a length of white
thread, casually broke it into pieces and then restored
them to their original condition with a casual elegance
that took my breath away. There was something so special
about the way he commanded a large theatre with such a simple
and tiny piece of magic.
Sitting
out front in the audience I was hit by the sudden realization
that this was what I wanted to do. My dream was to captivate
a huge audience with something as simple as a length of
thread and some carefully chosen words. This was quite simply
the trick that made me want to be a magician.
For
the last 40 years I have lived this vision and performed
that same piece of magic in nightclubs and theatres around
the world making a very good living doing so. It took a
long while to perfect the trick, but I now perform it every
show and the applause, emotions and gasps I receive from
audiences tell me that it was not wasted years.
Thank
you for the inspiration Billy, you gave me my first glimpse
of something that was as close to true theatrical magic
as I can imagine. Direct, funny and powerful you introduced
me to the most important trick I would ever learn to master.
I will never forget the chills I first got when I saw you
perform it that long ago night in London.

8. Festival - Travel Distance - #365 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
Travel distance will be a big factor not in only what fees
you charge but also how you market to these various festivals.
The
first decision you must make is whether you want to sleep
in your own bed at night or if you are willing to travel
greater distances and stay at hotels. The choice really
is yours and it is one you want to decide upon before you
start your marketing efforts.
You
must decide just what your festival performance area will
be and how far you are willing to go to get there. I find
that having a map and drawing a large circle from my home
to the farthest area I am willing to work is a great way
to start figuring out not only my travel radius but also
travel fees. I call this zone mapping.
For
myself, my travel radius is about 100 - 150 miles from my
home base. I then draw circles in pen for every twenty miles
out from my base. This is my way of gauging how far a festival
is from me and how much I should add on for an appropriate
travel fee. It also easily tells me if I may need to add
a hotel fee for shows further away. I keep this map on the
wall in my office and near my phone. It can be a great tool
when you are making or taking a call.
There
are many software programs and online apps that allow you
to be able to customize maps for yourself. Use these as
they are great tools. You might want to place the final
zone map in an application called Dropbox.com so you have
access to it wherever you go.
If
you do make the choice to travel farther distances for your
festival shows, then include hotel accommodations in with
your contract and add this price to your day rate. The idea
here is to still keep it simple for the festival group to
make a decision. I find that adding the fee to my day rate
makes it easier for them and does not confuse them. I have
also found that many times some hotels are corporate sponsors
of the event and the festival committee has access to some
of these rooms. Free accommodations, everyone wins.
I
don't believe that it is a good practice to offer a standard
base fee + gas fee + travel fee + hotel fee. If you lay
it out like this, it discourages festivals. It works against
you. Learn what YOU need to do the show and create a base
fee that covers all of your costs.
I
have also experienced, at some of the larger festivals,
that hotels in the area often sponsor the festival or fair
you are attending. If you can, you can always ask or check
on the festival website to see who the sponsors are for
that year. If a hotel is a sponsor for the festival, you
may be able to get the rooms comped for you as a means of
promoting the local hotel that keeps you.
If
you have a big hotel chain, with locations everywhere you
plan to work, you could try to obtain them as a sponsor
of your own. They not only supply you with the accommodations
you need but pay so much money for each festival you perform
at. In exchange, they get mention at every show you do.
This can work well for you and you never know unless you
ASK. I know this can happen, as I have seen it in my travels.
If
you cannot get a sponsor for your hotel stay, then you may
still want to try and keep your hotel room cost down. It
is always a good idea to check into hotels in the area of
the festival. A hotel that is both easy to get to and affordable,
is most ideal. I say a close hotel, as often times you will
not get out of the festival until the festival closes and
you then get permission to enter the grounds with your vehicle
to pack back up. This means it could be a long and tiring
night. A hotel that is close works wonders for this situation.
When
it comes to accommodations, you may not want to be too particular
about where you stay. Lower rates have been the norm at
some hotels if you do your homework prior to heading out
on the road. Also, look into the entertainment books for
the city or area that you will be performing for. If you
are doing a tour and doing several festivals in the same
area, these entertainment books can save you money on meals,
hotels etc. Also, you may want to use your credit card rewards
points if you have them. Most places will deduct a fee from
your hotel stay and in some cases you may get the night
for free.
AAA
is another great idea for the festival performer who is
traveling farther away from home for his or her shows. Not
only will it save you in the event of a vehicle breakdown,
but you can get some great savings on hotels, rental cars
etc. I have AAA and have been very glad I have had it on
many occasions.
Now
do not get confused here. Many of you may be saying why
doesn't the festival put you up at a hotel? Well some of
them can and some may offer to do it. However, my goal is
to make it easy on the festival. What I do is no ahead of
time if I feel I have to stay overnight. This is often my
choice and not the festivals. I am the one deciding if I
need to stay or not.
Because
of this, I try and make it easy on the festival. If I know
I need a hotel room, I simply add it to my base fee when
I offer my packages to the festival. By doing it in this
fashion, I can choose the hotel I want to stay in and make
it easy for myself and for the festival in the process.
***
I have a new book out I would like you to know about all
about working the Festival market. If you would like additional
and detailed information on this topic, please see my book/eBook

always, I encourage you the readers to let me know your
thoughts. So if you have any thoughts on my articles or

13. Long-Lost Houdini Film Restored
--------------------------------------------
Article and video clip forward by Bernard Reid (NZ)
http://wnep.com/2015/06/13/long-lost-houdini-film-restored/
Scranton - A rare film starring Harry Houdini, which many
people thought was destroyed, is now being seen for the
first time in nearly 100 years.
"This
is the most exciting thing that's happened in Houdini history,"
said Dorothy Dietrich, Director of the Houdini Museum. "This
is the holy grail of Houdini history."
"We
are showing a film everybody thought in the industry thought
was not available ever," added Dick Brookz, Houdini
historian.
It's
called 'The Grim Game' and it's the great escape artist's
first feature film. Like many movies made in the early 1900's,
it was made on nitrate film, which was known to catch fire
and explode. That's why there's no record for many old movies.
"The
statistics are pretty much 10% of the old films still exist,"
Dietrich added. "90% of all that work is gone."
The
only known copy of 'The Grim Game' existed with a collector
in Brooklyn, New York. For years, people at the Houdini
Museum tried to get the owner to share the film with no
success. That is, until last year, when that collector turned
95 and he finally changed his mind.
"The
whole thing is a dream come true," Dietrich explained.
"We've waited our whole life for this to happen, now
the world will know once and for all was Houdini a great
escape artist but he was really a good actor as well."
Among
those in the audience seeing the entire film for the first
time is Jeff Blood, the great nephew of Houdini.
"We've
only seen a few snippets of it before because it's been
lost for almost 100 years," said Blood. "So we
have a DVD with about five minutes of it, and that's all
we thought there ever was."
While
relatives and fans were eager to see the film, one could
argue the movie's new life brings the most joy to Houdini
himself.
"[Houdini]
said of this film 'The Grim Game:' 'The present generation
can see me in person but I want my most thrilling feats
on the screen so people in later years can assure themselves
that I actually did them.'"
The
film was restored with the help of Turner Classic Movies,
who was so impressed by the quality of the film reel that
they hired a composer to add a score to the silent film.
The
museum plans to have more showings of the rare film throughout
the summer.
