4. The Magic Word Podcast: I'm Just Sayin' - Norman Beck
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star
Norman
Beck has been a contributing editor to M.U.M for many years
with his "home spun" philosophy of magic and his
opinions on so many things that touch our magical world.
And he is also a very adept magician who is well-known card
guy in the magic underground. But he is so much more than
that.
He
is a world class bridge player, an underwriter for betting
on wild events, a former restaurant performer, and recently
he has survived a major operation extracting a baseball
sized brain tumor.
This
week on The Magic Word, Norm tells us a lot of stories and
gives us some advice on restaurants, getting tips, approaching
the table, performing for Bill Gates and Warren Buffet,
and some of the crazy things that his company has underwritten
like finding Bigfoot, guessing the number of clown noses
in a car
and more.
You
can read the blog, see some photos, hear the podcast online
and download the MP3 file at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/286-norman-beck
And of course you can subscribe to the RSS feed so you don't
miss another podcast. You can get the podcasts from iTunes,
Stitcher, Feedpress and Tunein.
Next
week I'll be traveling to New York for the annual Fechter's
Finger Flicking Frolic. Be sure to tune in for daily updates
and conversations with some of the most influential close-up
performers in the world today. And if you enjoy the podcast,

6. Conveying and Using Personality - #396 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
I
posted recently on Facebook asking a simple question. What
is one of the best qualities or traits you feel makes for
a good magician and why? It was an interesting discussion
that brought about a lot of great answers and opinions.
However, one item kept coming up by many people. It is a
single word called "personality". It was so great
seeing so many folks give value to personality over other
things.
I
really think personality is so underrated in magic today.
People just simply forget the power it has in everything
we do. A trick is just a trick. The people want to like
you. If you take the same trick and place it in the hands
of someone who has and conveys personality and then someone
who does not, it looks like a totally different effect to
a lay audience. It really is that stunning to see happen.
Tricks
alone do not really mean anything by themselves. A trick
will not happen or work without the magician. Place a deck
of cards on a table and they are not going to start doing
an ACR routine by themselves. If they do, then start to
run real quick. It is YOU that makes the difference and
it is YOU that makes the magic happen. If this is the case,
then focus should be on you and not the prop or trick you
are presenting.
But
what is it about you? It is your personality that really
makes the audience enjoy the experience and enjoy you in
the process.
I
honestly feel that people want to be entertained way more
than they want to be fooled. People want to walk away having
had fun with the experience of what they just saw happen.
Take some of the best acts out there today. Take a look
at the ones that you really love to watch perform. It is
safe to say that you enjoy them because 95% of their act
is not solely based on the magic alone. There is more to
what they provide isn't there? The good entertainers are
that way because a majority of their act is interacting
with the audience in a comical entertaining way, engaging,
dialogue, connecting, talking. It is the essence of their
personality that makes you enjoy what they do.
It
is interaction and expressing personality. It is taking
the audience on a journey and getting them laughing and
having fun instead of just seeking the WOW only.
I
think that is key. If you could take away the trick in any
performance, and safely say the routine is still entertaining,
then I think you have something. Take away the props and
the trick and then look at what that performer does. I can
safely say the entertainers that "get it" are
the ones who without any of these props, can still entertain
and audience and have them enjoying every minute of it.
This is the essence and importance of personality in magic.
There
is a quote that was shared to be by my good friend Dan Birch.
Dan said the quote goes like this. "If they walk away
saying remember the trick that the magician did, then I
have failed. But if they say remember the magician who did
that trick, then I have succeeded." I was so glad Dan
shared this with me because it got me thinking that it is
your personality that makes them remember you.
I think that is a key to developing a likeable character.
Some magicians try to focus so much on the trick only that
they are void of any personality at all. I want the audience
remembering me not my deck of cards.
No
one is saying not to have the tricks. What we are saying
is that the focus of any performance should not be on the
trick itself. The trick is just a prop. The focus should
be on personality and using that personality to truly take
the effect to an entertaining level. It is giving the audience
more to enjoy. You add personality into what you do and
I guarantee your audiences will thank you for it.
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. May Issue of Genii Is Now Live Online And In The Mail!
--------------------------------------------
Message by Richard Kaufman
Editor, Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine
We
have an amazing treat for you this month. "H?kasen"
is one of the oldest books and most rare books on conjuring
in Japan. Fewer than 20 copies probably exist. We are pleased
to present the entire book, translated by Dan Sherer, in
this issue, with all of its original artwork. Published
in 1764, H?kasen contains detailed descriptions of the Cups
And Balls, Linking Rings, Sands of the Dessert, magic with
small balls, various rope and knot effects, including the
eating of solid iron (!) among other odd stunts, as well
as ways to produce various spooky ghosts - sometimes known
as bakemono - on summer evenings. As a 250-year-old relic,
H?kasen makes for fascinating reading.
We've
got three videos in our digital edition of the late Maki
Kitami performing Wazuma, the ancient Japanese style of
magic. These are not here because he is performing effects
from H?kasen, but more for flavor of the period. Ancient
Japanese magic has an entirely different rhythm and style
than western magic.
We
knew that Paul Daniels had been diagnosed with an inoperable
brain tumor in late February after a fall in his home. He
died less than a month later on March 17 at age 77. I knew
him for many years, and had spent much time with him at
the Masters of Magic Convention in St. Vincent, Italy, three
years ago. Even though a man of no small ego, he was extremely
kind and generous to his friends and fans and certainly
gave more than he received in his later years. And he was
a real pro - someone you could watch on stage rolling with
the unexpected and turning it into something very funny.
He is remembered by his friend Barry Murray on p.54.
I'm
pleased to introduce two additions to Genii. The first is
columnist Harrison Greenbaum, who'll make you laugh until
you are gasping for breath at the next Genii convention
in October 2017. His column is called "You Are All
Terrible" and he's writing about comedy and magic (both
of which he knows a lot about) every other month starting
this issue.
The
second new addition is a monthly section with the retro
title, "The Eye." Of course Genii has had a news
section before, the well-known "Bagdad" column
ran for decades. But there was a time when I felt the internet
made the idea of a news column in a printed magazine redundant
and so "Bagdad" faded away even before the now-problematic
negative connotations of its title. After 17 years of reflection
on the issue (a new record, I assure you), I decided that
there are enough interesting titbits of news floating around
which you might not otherwise run across, and so I have
created "The Eye." Our correspondent is Todd Karr.
It's filled with hotlinks to the media and various internet
sites.
Despite
the staggering 34-page article on H?kasen, and the new column
from Harrison Greenbaum, and the debut of "The Eye,"
we still have many of your favorite columnists in this issue:
Jeff
Prace magically improves one of his previous miracles in
"Left-Handed" (with video); Kainoa Harbottle shakes
his Okito Box in "By Means of Metal" (with video);
David Kaye decides that performing kids shows is like flying
a plane in "The Expert at the Kids' Table"; John
Gaughan shows off the craziest vent head I've ever seen
in "Chamber of Secrets"; Andi Gladwin throws three
great tricks your way in "Magicana" (with video);
Daniel Ulin celebrates life in Southern California in "Knights
at The Magic Castle"; Dustin Stinett reviews videos,
David Oliver reviews tricks, and Kainoa Harbottle reviews
books. And of course we have the regular audio columns from
Max Maven and Jon Racherbaumer.

10. Dean Gunnarson Launches His First Book
--------------------------------------------
Message by Dean Gunnarson
The
Making of an Escape Artist
Sunday, April 24 at 2:00 p.m.
McNally Robinson, 1120 Grant Avenue
You are invited to join Dean and award winning author, Carolyn
Gray, as they launch a book that takes readers inside the
life of the "World's Most Daring Escape Artist".
Guests will have an opportunity to meet Dean and ask him
questions. Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 24 at 2:00
p.m. at McNally Robinson in Grant Park Mall, Winnipeg, MB
About
the Book
Dean
Gunnarson: The Making of an Escape Artist is a beautiful
and magically
written story that takes an inside look at how dealing with
the challenges, pain, and life threatening obstacles of
having Leukemia at 12 years old helped shape Dean
to becoming the modern day daredevil that he is today.
It also tells the story of how a teenage Dean meets another
young friend who was battling cancer named Phil Hornan.
The two of them set out on an epic adventure of escaping
from R.C.M.P. detachments across Manitoba. As they learn
to escape from handcuffs, straight jackets, and jail cells,
they soon face their toughest challenge; escaping from Stony
Mountain Penitentiary.
Somehow
they always find a way to achieve the impossible and escape
their maximum security restraints. As Philip's cancer becomes
incurable they look for a miracle in searching out psychics
and faith healers. Even the legendary magician Doug Henning
becomes friends with Phil and tries to find a magic way
to help save his life. Sadly, Philip losses his fight with
cancer at the age of 15.
This
year marks the 30th anniversary of his passing. Shortly
after Phil's death all the dreams and hopes that the two
teenagers had planned start to materialize for Dean and
he gets to perform on the biggest stage of his life, on
live TV in Los Angles in front of millions of people. Then
two decades later Phil comes back into Dean's life and gives
him one last gift that changes his life forever.
