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

This has been an incredible week in Las Vegas at MAGIC Live! Over 1,800 magicians from around the world converged on the city where we had the year's best party ever. With so many people in attendance, it was impossible to get around to chat with everyone, but I tried. As a result, some of the daily updates were longer than the usual one hour.

You can watch some special videos I shot, see some photos, read the blog on what happened and who did it, listen to the podcasts and download the MP3 files at http://TheMagicWordPodcast.com Just scroll down to view all four episodes from all four days.

It is the largest public online magic encyclopedia without any restrictions. All entries including sources can be viewed without limitation.

If entries can be also found in the English MagicPedia you will find a link and vis à verse.

5. August Issue of Linking Ring Features Convention
--------------------------------------------
Message by Dennis Schick (USA)

It took extra efforts by The Linking Ring staff, but the August issue features twenty-two pages of coverage of the I.B.M.'s 87th Convention in Jacksonville, Florida, July 15-18, 2015. In addition, the cover shows eight performers in a colorful montage, and there are seventy-five photos enhancing the coverage. Included in the convention reporting are lists of all the contest winners, and the announcement of The Linking Ring Awards.

Speaking of extra effort, the untimely death on July 27 of Lee Grabel, considered by many as the last of the Grand Masters of Magic, happened just as the August issue was about to go to press. We "stopped the presses," in the tradition of important, late-breaking news, and were able to include an In Memoriam to him. His obituary will be in the September issue.

Also in the August issue are articles on how Ring 60 in Austin, Texas uses magic to help veterans and their families heal, how Englishman Ian Adair creates a new magic effect every day, a One-man Parade from Adair, and all the regular columns, departments and trick sections -- one hundred sixty-four pages in all.

Members of the International Brotherhood of Magicians receive the magazine as part of their membership. For more information, go to www.magician.org.

Message by Jane Stuart of the J. Marberger Stuart Foundation Inc. home of the DRAGON Awards

Fans of magic history will be interested to see a new show in Bird-in-Hand, PA (Lancaster). Mark Sullivan is performing a Magic Lantern show using original antique equipment and mostly original slides. He also does another magic effect during the performance.

The show is nightly at 7pm at the Amish Experience Theater. The Magic Lantern started out as a magic trick and then evolved into modern movies. Seeing one in beautifully restored condition will fascinate all magic history fans.

8. The Magic Compass
--------------------------------------------
Message by Dal Sanders MIMC (US)

Two months ago The Society of American Magicians quietly launched a new service to help point magicians around the world towards the very best online content dealing with the Art of Magic. That service is called The Magic Compass.

Initially The Magic Compass was conceived as a newsletter styled email that would point readers toward magic's best viral videos, top news stories, exclusive offers, contests, polls, tricks and more. People can sign up for that newsletter at http://goo.gl/5LnzN9. The S.A.M. even produced a video to explain the idea that was voiced by Mac King. That video is at https://youtu.be/8AZOctEFnKs.

As The S.A.M. was developing this service the need for an anchoring website became apparent and that is why The Magic Compass is also a website that is regularly updated with the latest online magic information. That website can be found at
http://www.magic-compass.com.

Since being launched, The Magic Compass has already delivered news to thousands of readers. This week alone The Compass has directed viewers to videos and posts of magician Nathan J. Roberts making a little girl's parents reappear after being deployed overseas, Justin Flom's Mega-Mix, Penn & Teller's appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and a Young and Strange magic Prank in England.

After quietly launching The Magic Compass, The S.A.M. is now ready for a full roll out. This service is not just for members of The Society of American Magicians but for anyone with an interest in The Art of Magic.

9. Festivals: Terms and Conditions - #371 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
I use the chairs over the carpet for many reasons.

In this day and age, there are terms and conditions applied almost everything. You cannot buy anything or even take part in a raffle without some form of terms and conditions attached to it. It gets to a point where legality starts to bring fear to the consumer. We get to a point of being afraid to sign anything or agree to anything out of a nervous feeling of it coming back to harm us later on.

In the realm of working festivals this is also clearly seen. It is a simple matter of fact that if you work with festivals, terms and conditions will be applied. You will be asked to review terms and conditions and to sign and abide by them.

This notion of having to sign and abide by a festival's terms and conditions often is a strong deterrent for entertainers. They fear having to be locked in and so tend to avoid the market all together. But one does not have to fear terms and conditions when working festivals.

It is a matter of understanding terms and conditions, why they are used for festivals and how best YOU can work with it. The first thing one should understand is what is the real underlying meaning of the phrase "Terms and Conditions"?

If I could boil it down to one simple word, terms and conditions would simply mean "protection". It really is as easy as that. Terms and conditions "protects" the seller of said product or service from damages or legal issues as a result of the consumer.

I bring this up because if you know this basic principle I just stated, it is often much easier to understand how to not fear it and how to work with festivals so that terms and conditions becomes a simple part of doing proper business.

One of the biggest issues that comes up with festivals concerning terms and conditions is the feeling of being locked in with no control. This is not always the case and it does not need to be.

One of the areas you need to understand is the difference between working a festival as a vendor vs working the festival as a paid entertainer. Here in lies a big difference in regards to how terms and conditions are applied.

Many associate terms and conditions as a one way street. They fear that the festival is imposing it on them and they have no control over it. Well in the case of coming in as a vendor, this may be closer to the truth. The reason is that you must look at it as you paying the festival money to occupy a vendor space at their event. You are paying money for a product or service THEY are providing directly to you. Because you are paying for the usage of their spot, then terms and conditions must be applied to protect the festival. You do not have much power in in regards to demanding your own terms simply because you are the one buying something from them.

However, festival terms and conditions does not have to be a one way street if you work them as a paid entertainer. As a paid entertainer, the tables are turned a bit. The festival is coming to YOU and paying YOU for services and products you are supplying to them. See the difference?

Because they are paying you for your services and product, you have a right to be able to "protect" yourself just as much as they do. Think about it this way. If you go in and by a washer, don't terms and conditions protect the seller of the washer? Of course. So you must remember that you also are selling a product and service. Because the festival is buying your service, you have a right to terms and conditions applied to what you are giving to them and you should not fear it.

When you are hired to be a paid entertainer, you may find that the festival has their own terms and conditions and you have yours as well. That is fine and it is natural for this to happen. The problem lies in that entertainers often feel they must sign and abide by the festivals terms 100%. They feel either the festivals or their own terms must be chosen but not both.

Remember that terms and conditions can and should protect both parties. When working with a festival, it is OK if the festival sends you their terms and conditions for you to look over and sign. However, this does not mean a one way street.

What I will always do is be open and honest with every festival I work. I will talk about my own needs for the show and my own terms that ensures a smooth show for them and protects me from situations they may not have even considered. As a working professional who treats his magic business as a business, most festivals understand this.

So what I do is to make an addendum to their terms they send to me. If a festival has a terms and conditions form that they send my way, I can read it over and attach an addendum to it. The addendum simply adds on my terms that should be followed and also mentions any changes that I feel should be made to theirs.

In this fashion, you are working with the festival to make sure that both parties are protected equally and all bases are covered. Once the terms have been adjusted, they can easily be signed by both parties.

As you can see, this is a fair way of working and it takes the fear out of working with festivals. The mindset should be that you are a business working with another business on a joint venture/agreement. If you understand this approach, then you can go about working with them so both parties are satisfied and covered.

***

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 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.

Here is the information regarding the funeral services of legendary showman Johnny Aladdin.

I used to watch him on TV when I was a kid. We became friends in Japan about 35 years ago when we discovered we had both performed in the same places and had mutual friends in Japan, Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Mexico, Hawaii, USA, etc. I'm sure you know he was an early Las Vegas headliner and owned a talent agency in the major cities in the Orient with 200 to 300 employees.

Very sad news.

13. FCM Announces 2016 Convention Info
--------------------------------------------
Message by Dennis Schick (US)

The Fellowship of Christian Magicians (FCM) has announced details for its 2016 International Convention. It will move back to July (25-29), so mark your calendars. It will still be in Nashville, Tennessee, and on the campus of Trevecca University, as it was this year. But next year it will be held entirely within the spacious Trevecca Community Church on the campus. The theme for 2016 will be: "A Year of Second Chances," based on the Biblical verse 2 Corinthians 5:17.

The emphasis throughout the five days of the convention is learning, teaching, and sharing the performing arts of magic, clowns, ventriloquism, juggling, puppets, face painting, balloons, and drama/story-telling/chalk art. Of course the emphasis is on applying each of these to spreading the gospel. There are workshops, nightly shows, hospital visits, inspirational talks, exhibitors, and even a flea market and an auction to sell your unwanted things and stuff.
