2. End Of An Era, Beginning Of A Legacy
--------------------------------------------
Message by Stan Allen (Editor)
Last
week, I stood onstage at MAGIC Live and announced that the
August 2016 magazine, with Fabrini's amazing painting on
cover, is the 300th and final issue of MAGIC as we know
it.
After much consideration and after exploring several different
possibilities, I'm excited to announce that I am retiring
MAGIC Magazine.
This is exciting news, because I am not done yet - far from
it. I've published the magazine for 25 years, and will now
produce the final 25 issues over the next two years. We
call these special issues the MAGIC Legacy editions.
We're offering an Early Bird Special for MAGIC Legacy, which
comes with a free copy of Square One for the first 10,000
subscribers. This is the booklet originally given to MAGIC
subscribers in 1991, which is a collector's item today.
To find out more about these final 25 issues, our Early
Bird Special, and the free gift of Square One, please visit
our website.
www.MAGICmagazine.com
In
the summer of 1991, I asked the magic community to join
me on a crazy new venture. Now 25 years later, I'm asking
you to join me again. It's going to be quite a ride.
Thanks!

3. The End Of MAGIC Magazine Plus The Clairvoyants
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star
Stan
Allen, editor of MAGIC Magazine, announced at this year's
MAGIC Live! Convention that he is ceasing to publish MAGIC
Magazine in its current form. He will recreate and re-envision
the magazine with a limited run of 25 more hard cover magazines
over the next 20 months (not available in digital form)
with what will be called MAGIC Legacy. For a limited time,
Stan will offer a considerable discount off of the $250
subscription price through the website at: http://magicmagazine.com
More details on this exciting new project and his future
plans for the magazine and MAGIC Live! Are discussed on
the front end of this week's podcast at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/316-the-clairvoyants-magic-legacy
But
the bulk of the podcast is devoted to a conversation I had
with F.I.S.M. Mentalism winners, Thommy Ten and Amalie van
Tass, known as "The Clairvoyants". They have been
appearing in the wildly popular American TV show, "America's
Got Talent" (AGT) as well as "The Illusionists
- Turn of the Century" tour. In this podcast, they
talk about meeting each other, their background, performing
on AGT, The Illusionists, and more. This podcast was recorded
in San Antonio, Texas in early July when they were featured
at the I.B.M. convention so it was well before they had
advanced in the "judge's cuts" on AGT. All of
this, plus my chat with Stan is at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/316-the-clairvoyants-magic-legacy
A
lot of time has passed since I last posted an update on
the New Zealand Ezine, but that does not mean that I haven't
been actively posting podcasts. To the contrary, since the
July 28th podcast with Lance Burton (episode #305), I have
posted 10, count 'em, 10 more podcasts. I have just been
too busy recording and posting podcasts to notify everyone
on social media of the updates. But for those of you who
are subscribed or are regular listeners, you have been following
my exploits and have heard the daily updates from Abbott's
Get Together and from MAGIC Live! For those who haven't,
well
everything is still there and available in the
archives: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/archives/

4. Upcoming Spider-Man/Deadpool Story
--------------------------------------------
Article forward on by Mel Kientz (US)
Magician
Penn Jillette To Write Spider-Man/Deadpool
by
Russ Burlingame
An
upcoming Spider-Man/Deadpool story will be written by famed
stage magician Penn Jilette, Marvel announced today.
Jilette will pen Spider-Man/Deadpool #11, which in addition
to the title superheroes will also star himself and his
longtime comedy/magic partner, Teller.
"Spider-Man/Deadpool are a team, but in this comic,
the team is Spider-Man/Teller and Penn/Deadpool," Jilette
said on the This Week In Marvel Podcast. "Imagine what
a magician could do with someone who heals that quickly!"
After he said that he wanted to run Deadpool through with
a sword, Jilette acknowledged that he knew it hurt Deadpool
when that kind of thing happened, even if he healed quickly.
"That's why it's fun!" He joked.
Jordan White, the book's editor, said that he had been a
fan of Penn and Teller's for years, and that he had thought
of Jilette right away when trying to brainstorm ideas for
a fill-in writer on the title.
"Spider-Man has the sensibility of everything wonderful
and groovy from the '80s and '90s, and then you've got Deadpool
who's become a character of the 21st Century," Jilette
said. "There's a new impetus there -- breaking the
fourth wall -- there's a lot of stuff that I'm interested
in in theater and performance that the Deadpool character
is playing around with. The idea of having something happen
while you're commenting on it is fascinating to me....I
love to do magic tricks, talk about how magic tricks are
done, and still fool (people.)"
Ironically, Penn and Teller: Fool Us is currently running
on The CW, where the pair share the airwaves with DC's pantheon
of costumed do-gooders, including Supergirl, The Flash,
Arrow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. A thinly-veiled pastiche
of Penn and Teller also appeared in a Season One episode
of iZombie, based on a DC/Vertigo property.
While this is Jilette's first outing as a comic book writer,
it's far from his first time writing. He's penned a number
of best-sellers including Cruel Tricks For Dear Friends
and his recent release Presto!: How I Made Over 100 Pounds
Disappear and Other Magical Tales. Some of his books have
been co-written with Teller but, in keeping with his silent
stage persona, Teller apparently doesn't maintain his own
Amazon page, with Jilette's name being a link and Teller's
being just text.
One has to wonder whether at some point he'll get a Chasing
Amy-style lengthy rant in the Spider-Man/Deadpool issue,
although with Jilette writing that seems unlikely.
Spider-Man/Deadpool has been one of Marvel's most irreverent
releases since it launched last year, raising fan hackles
back in June with an issue that mocked Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice.

6. Roadblocks To Creativity - #413 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
I
think the beauty of being a magician is the ability to simply
create. I am also an artist, so this part of what we do
fascinates me. We can take nothing and create something
amazing from it. We have the ability to produce a creative
and entertaining experience. The problem most magicians
have with being creative is the inability to think freely
and openly about any and all possibilities. When we brainstorm
ideas for acts or routines, we tend to place roadblocks
that hinder us from ever really getting anywhere.
The
worst enemy to creativity is us. What happens is that we
must teach our minds to be open to thinking. Each and every
one of you reading this right now has the ability to be
as creative as you want to be. The problem is that as we
think of wonderful ideas, we stop going down the road because
thoughts enter our mind that inhibit us.
I
always say that when being creative, money is no factor.
Now of course it will be eventually, but I am making a simple
point here. Creativity alone does not cost anything. If
there is no cost to creative thought, why hinder yourself
in the first place.
I
also always say that when thinking of ideas, never limit
yourself by saying, "how am I going to do this or afford
this." As soon you state this, your hindering creativity.
Creativity does not need road blocks that we seem to always
place on ourselves.
Creativity
needs free reign to grow and prosper. If we allow ourselves
to think freely, we can come up with amazingly fresh ideas
that we would never have thought of before.
When
one stops to think "How am I going to accomplish this"
or "How can I afford this," then what happens
is the mind puts up these road blocks. Creativity comes
to a grinding halt. All those great ideas inside your head
never come about because we are stopping ourselves before
we even get started.
When
I start to brainstorm about ideas for a new routine, I try
and place myself first into a spot with little distractions.
I train my mind to simply think. In creative thought there
are no wrong answers. There are only possibilities to be
discovered. So allow these ideas to enter your head freely.
Find a method for recording these ideas. This can be pen
and paper, a computer or a recording device. Allow these
ideas to stream from you.
Now
do not get bothered by the notion that these ideas may not
mean anything or may not be complete. That is simply natural.
It happens. Just record them. Some of the best ideas in
magic came from incomplete segments of an idea. However,
these ideas would never have been recorded if one stopped
themselves simply because the thought did not make sense.
So
as you are thinking creatively understand that there are
no rules to hold you down. There are no roadblocks on the
road to creative thought. The only roadblocks are ones we
place ourselves. So learn to be open with any and all ideas
no matter how bizarre they may be. Do not hinder your creativity
by wondering how something will be done or the cost associated
with it. Do not hinder yourself by not recording an idea
simply because it does not make full sense to you at that
moment. Simply let your mind be open to any idea. When you
start to do this, you will be amazed at what comes about.
If
you are so hung up on one idea, you will often times miss
the 100 other ideas your mind wants to create for you. Do
not allow these wonderful ideas to be lost. So do not worry
so much about price or how it can be built. There is always
a way to make something work. That is to be figured out
after you have the creative idea. Never hinder thinking
freely just because of the worry about cost or how something
will be created.
Creativity is our most prized skill that we simply take
for granted and never use enough of. Learn to think creatively
and open the mind to the ideas that we all have there. I
guarantee your magic will become more unique and 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.

13. The Workshop Convention Returns
--------------------------------------------
Message by David Sandy (US)
Yes,
it's true after hosting six unbelievable workshop events
from 1996 through 2002, we've decided to revive this incredibly-popular
magic event! It's called the workshop revival... and you're
invited to join us! The dates are October 5-8, 2016 and
it will be held at the Radisson
Hotel in St. Joseph, Missouri (just 25 minutes north of
Kansas City International Airport).
This
is a career-changing experience! Produced by David Sandy
for IBM Ring 129, the workshop is known for its unique approach
to learning strong commercial magic from some of today's
hottest working pros... in an intimate, small-group environment.
It's strictly limited to only 200 participants and has always
sold out. You will learn, hands-on, from some of the greatest
performers in the business! And this year's line-up of talent
is no exception! Its four incredible days of learning and
fun... Guaranteed!
Here's
a partial listing of teachers and performers at this year's
Workshop: Shawn Farquhar, Asi Wind, Kyle Knight & Mistie,
Oscar Munoz, Handsome Jack, Jade, Shoot Ogawa, David Kaplan,
Rob Zabrecky, Simon Coronel, Gerry Katzman, Tim Hannig,
and several special surprise guests!
As
in the past, our focus is on learning strong commercial
magic in an intimate setting. In addition to numerous learning
events and hands-on sessions, you'll enjoy close-up shows,
stand-up shows, a banquet and dinner show (yes, the meal
is included!), some great impromptu performance moments
and fellowship, plus an unbelievable stage show at the historic
Missouri Theater, and some very special surprises!
Here's
the exciting part ... the cost is only $299, but you get
a $30 discount if you're one of the first 125 registrations
(making the registration cost only $269)!
Registration
is strictly limited to only 200 participants in order to
keep the event intimate! Don't miss out it's sure to fill
up quickly. We also have a special hotel rate of $84/night.

complete details, visit www.ring129workshop.com or call
