2. IMPORTANT MESSAGE - FISM WCM Postponed Until July 2022
-------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)

Dear friends in magic
Due to the various events that affected our lives in relation to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) including the fact that several of the continental qualifications could not take place in 2020, the organizers of the FISM WCM in Quebec along with FISM International, have made the decision to delay the FISM World Championship until July 25 - 30, 2022.

This decision was made:

·To allow the organizers to hold the FISM continental qualifications a year before FISM;

·Because we hope that the travel conditions will be optimal again at that time;

·Because we want all magicians to feel safe during their stay in Quebec City;

·Because we want to offer an event that meets the expectations of all participants;

We invite you to visit our website for further information. In addition, we are renegotiating the hotel rates. Some of them have already adjusted their offers and some are still checking the possibilities. If you have already booked your hotel, we recommend that you contact them directly to modify your dates.

We hope to welcome you in Quebec City in July 2022 and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@fismquebec2021.com

We thank you for your understanding.

6. I.O.U! - John Carey #86
-------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
http://www.johncareymagic.co.uk/

I.O.U is a strong and fun semi-automatic prediction effect using a deck of cards and some pocket change. Ahead of time place 24 Pence, or whatever your currency inside a small change purse. Also, take a small slip of paper and write "I.O.U 3 Pence!" Fold that slip up and slip that inside the purse too. The deck is partially set up from the top down in this order: 8,K,3,10,2,7,A,Q in mixed suits and colours. It's the old 8 Kings stack which you can easily remember by thinking, 8 Kings threatened to save a Queen, as a mnemonic.

Bring out your deck of cards and the purse and casually set the purse aside without further comment. "Today we will play a little game of chaos!" Execute an in the hands or tabled riffle shuffle retaining your eight card stack on top of the deck. Casually spread off eight cards into your right hand and set the deck aside. Take the top four cards for yourself and hand the other four to your spectator. "Mary, let's create a little chaos with these cards." Ask her to deal the top card of her packet face down onto the table. You then deal your top card on top of that. Continue this alternating deal of the cards back and forth with your spectator and then square up the packet and hold in dealing grip.

"That's one way of mixing cards, but there's a far better way called the randomizer shuffle! You see, you can deal a card to the table like this, then swap the next pair and drop them down. Or deal a couple of single cards and swap a pair like so. But I want this to be totally under your control Mary." The above beautiful ruse is by the legendary Paul Curry and is called A Swindle of Sorts. Allow your helper to make the choices as she either deals single cards or swaps a pair and have her continue until the packet is exhausted. It basically brings the order of the cards back
to where you started prior to you demonstrating the procedure. As Max Maven would say, it is a thing of terrifying beauty!

We will now execute a very fair looking final mixing phase inspired by the work of John Bannon from his Origami Poker routine in his book High Caliber. "Finally let's take all this mixing of the cards to the extreme!" Deal a face down card onto the table, followed by a face up card to the
right of it. Next deal another face down card next to the face up card and then deal a face down card to the right of all, forming a face down/face up row. Form another row of exactly the same face down and face up configuration behind the first row, leaving two rows of cards in view. "Imagine, Mary that is a piece of paper and we are going to fold it. Shall we fold the upper row of cards over onto the lower row, or vice versa?" Allow your helper to make her choice and then have her turn over or 'fold', assembling the cards into one row by turning over each card of
that row on top of the other. That was quite a mouthful! "Finally shall we fold and assemble the cards from your left or from your right?" It makes no difference what she decides as she folds and turns over one pair onto another from either end and squares up.

Casually ribbon spread the packet exhibiting face up and face down cards. Mentally note the total of the four face up cards you will see. They will either add up to 24 or 27 automatically! Let's say they total 27. We will use a very simple but beautiful equivoque that Bannon shared with me after a lecture here in England last year. "Mary, do you want me to take out the face up cards or the face down cards?" The two magic words here are take out. It's wonderfully ambiguous, as take out can be interpreted or manipulated to mean take out to use or take out to discard. If she says take out the face down cards, do so and discard them without fuss.
However if she says take out the face up cards, you interpret that by taking them out of the spread and handing to her to use. Discard the face down cards as per the earlier example. Naturally if the total of face up cards you see totals 24, then simply equivoque the face down cards.

"Mary, tonight we mixed cards together every which way and you made all the choices. Please add up the total of those cards you hold. Pictures are 10 and Aces are 1." She does so and tells you they total 24. "At the very beginning I put that purse on the table. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I correctly predicted the future? Please open the purse and tip out the contents. Add up the coins you see and tell us the total? 24 pence? I'm off by 3!. Oh would you open that slip of paper and read out the message on it?" I.O.U 3 pence!!!"

Notes:
You could of course have the exact correct amount of change in the purse, but I love the I.O.U kicker!

8. Ongoing Adventures Of Romany! #13
--------------------------------------------
Message by Romany Romany (UK)

Hello from the monastery!

I suppose it had to happen.

Magic on Zoom.

When I first saw colleagues doing this, my heart sank and I decided that it definitely wasn't for me.

But yesterday Cameron Mackintosh, the guy who owns and runs most of the major theatre and musical shows in London's West End, said that his theatres would be closed until 2021 at the earliest and that he is making his staff redundant.

Here in the UK, it doesn't look as though live performances will start up until next year.
Then, I got an enquiry from an event organiser about whether I could do a virtual show and host a virtual event. Although I said a hesitant, 'I'll think about it," to be honest, the idea of performing my act again in three week's time after twelve weeks off AND to camera, stressed me out so much that Tuesday was spent on the sofa watching Netflix and eating too much Cadbury's Dairy Milk.

To emphasise the terror and stress this enquiry caused, let me mention that I'm usually vegan.

I phoned my husband to say that I couldn't face leaving the cottage to meet him for dinner.

"So don't do the virtual magic and take a six month sabbatical until all this blows over." He suggested.

You know when someone tells you not to do something and it has the opposite effect?

'Don't do any magic, don't do anything creative. Just sit and do nothing.'

Not blooming likely!

Which is why this morning I had an hour long planning call with the event organiser.

Now I'm thinking backdrops and cameras, lighting and Zoom technology.

I dismantled my magic theatre in Brighton at the start of lockdown. It would have been perfect. But my little cottage here is like a fairytale cottage in a story with a wood burning stove and oak beams, so I'm going to use it as a magical backdrop and start over.

I realise I'm late to the party, YouTube is full of magicians doing virtual shows already. But as with every event, each magician is different and we all bring our own special magic.

So that's my work cut out for the next couple of weeks and more.

Oh and I need to make the next YouTube video. Thank you to everyone that watched my private hello to you and subscribed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pxKabbaNT4&list=UUyWsG8f_4YAhxXHA-XE9CPw&index=2

Another will appear when it's possible to make it without me having to resort to chocolate!

Slow and gentle, that's the way out of lockdown.
Back to magic.
I hope you're safe and well.
With love,
Romany

10. The Orchante Saga - Beginnings
-------------------------------------
Written by the late Tommy Orchard (The Amazing Orchante)

World records, cartoons and a Minister of Finance!

It all started when (the late) Lew Pryme, pop singer, television personality, M.C. and the proprietor of 'Fullers Entertainment Bureau' put a family show together, touring the holiday beach resorts over the 1970/71 Christmas/New Year period. He called it 'Carnival Capers' and
the artists featured were, 'Crunchy'- New Zealand's famous television clown - with Sally-Anne, (Crunchy was actually Peter Newberry, Sally Anne was Sally Phillips, Peters assistant.) Lew Pryme himself, and yours truly!

12 months previously I had set a new world record - sleeping on my bed of nails for two hours and nine minutes, but it didn't stand for long - it was beaten by a Scotsman only six weeks later. I decided to have another 'crack' at it! Lew arranged my new attempt outside a major supermarket at Mount Maunganui for Tuesday 29th December 1970 (we were already at the 'Mount' for a short season with 'Carnival Capers'). There were several reviews - but the one from the Auckland
based 'New Zealand Herald', which was written up the day after my successful record attempt - is the report which is relevant to this particular episode in my life.

The New Zealand Herald, (Wednesday 30th December) headed it's review with -"records new mark after lying on bed of nails; An Auckland entertainer, Orchante, has regained his lying-on-a -bed-of-nails world championship. Resting quietly on a bed of five-inch nails yesterday, he broke by three minutes, the mark set earlier this year in England. Originally planning to lie on the nails for three hours, Orchante was forced to give up the attempt after two hours and 20 minutes when he suffered cramp in his back. Mr Lew Pryme, of Auckland, The organiser of the Mt.Maunganui 5000 Club, said that the only training Orchante had done for the bid was that he had been in Rotorua performing on Monday night and had not got to bed until 3a.m yesterday!

Refusing breakfast, Orchante drank only cups of coffee and when the attempt was over, a jug of beer awaited him at the local hotel. Crowds clustered around the bed during the attempt, fingering the nails to prove that they really were sharp!"

The following morning (Thursday 31st), the New Zealand Herald's cartoonist- 'Minhinnick', drew a cartoon (I bought the original!) depicting (the late Sir Robert Muldoon) Mr Muldoon, the then Minister of Finance, in bathing trunks, lying on a bed of nails labelled, "spending pressures". The caption quoted Mr Muldoon, on holiday at Orewa, as saying: "I just get here and sit. Sometimes I cut the grass. For me that as a holiday." This is followed by another caption which reads, "Auckland entertainer breaks record for lying on a bed of nails" - News.

As luck would have it, a few days later (Tuesday January 5th 1971), I was at the 'Puriri Motor Camp' at Orewa. I had been booked sometime earlier by the proprietor, Johnny Maire, who just happened to be a personal friend of - Robert Muldoon! Don't you just love it when, for a change, 'fate' decides to deal you a 'winning hand'! What happened next is probably best described by quoting the caption underneath the large photograph and write-up that appeared on the
front page of the New Zealand Herald the following morning. (Wednesday, January 6th, 1971 - section one)

The caption reads -"Mr Muldoon, standing on a board studded underneath with nails while the entertainer Orchante, lies on a similar bed of nails at a performance at the Puriri Motor Camp, Orewa, last night. Mr Muldoon is assisted by Karina , Orchante's assistant.

The review (slightly edited) reads as follows -"The entertainer Orchante lay prostrate on a bed of five-inch nails, and standing on his chest was the Minister of Finance, Mr Muldoon. The children
watching the spectacle were fascinated and horrified. They writhed in deck chairs or buried their faces in mum's dress. Fathers also, writhed in sympathetic agony.

Five seconds. . . ten seconds. Mr Muldoon looked down from his wobbly perch at the prostrate entertainer. His Face was like a neon sign. Smiles flashed and vanished as forced pleasure was overcome by concern.

Thirty seconds, then Mr Muldoon sprang off and Orchante leapt to his feet, chest heaving. It happened at the Puriri Motor Camp last night before about 200 holidaymakers. Mr Muldoon's appearance as guest 'performer' in Orchante's act was prompted by Minhinnick's cartoon, which appeared in the Herald on December 31st.

The camp proprietor, Mr J.Maire, who is a friend of Mr Muldoon, said he thought the cartoon was very funny. He suggested that Mr Muldoon could get "his own back" on the cartoonist by co-starring with Orchante."

MINHINNICK, was not about to be out done! The following morning he came up with yet another cartoon. Once again he showed Mr Muldoon but this time he was lying in between my bed of nails, on top of him was a caricature of Norman Kirk and perched right on top of all he had -' SID', the sea elephant from Marine land, Orewa!(unfortunately, I don't have this cartoon and I can't remember the caption) What a clever man - it was not so clever to play 'silly buggers' with New Zealand's top cartoonist! Me, I was 'over the moon' - you can't buy that sort of
publicity for love or money. (Sir Gordon Edward George Minhinnick died in 1992)

I stayed in Orewa for two or three days after the fun and games and Johnny Maire, the man who had instigated the publicity and got all the newspaper reporters up to his Motor Camp for that night, took me up to 'properly meet Bob' Muldoon and his wife at their holiday home; on a
two or three different occasions. We had a great time and in fact it was Bob Muldoon who first introduced me to the -'delights' of whisky! Years later, when Veronica and I were living in Sydney Australia, I would always give Sir Robert Muldoon, the Prime Minister of New
Zealand, as he was by then, a call at 'Kiribilli House' (the Australian Government's private residence in Sydney for visiting dignitaries) whenever he was in Sydney. Don't ask how I acquired that carefully guarded, unlisted telephone number! Bob said that getting my hands on that telephone number was the best trick I ever did.

I was 'tickled pink' when Sir Robert (Bob) Muldoon included the photograph from the New Zealand Herald in his autobiography - 'The Life And Times Of A Young Turk'; I was rather amused at his wry sense of humour - The caption under the photograph said something like,
'Gathering Tax from the Great Orchante' - I asked him if he had a problem spelling 'nails'. "No Tom" he said, " TAX" sounded more appropriate". Well it would wouldn't it, to the - ' Minister of Finance!'

Incidentally, my assistant for that night at Orewa, the beautiful red-haired 'Karina'- (her real name is Colleen) is an artiste in her own right - she was /is an amazing exotic dancer who spent a fair amount of time working overseas - Bali, Japan etc. Yet another talented New Zealander, I haven't seen Colleen for many, many years. I'll bet she is still- a 'knock out!'

There was a follow-up to my world record, which was also reported by the New Zealand Herald. Come to think of it, when it came to publicity, the New Zealand Herald did me proud over the early years. This one was headed - "Argue The Point On My Bed: Orchante" Orchante, the Auckland entertainer who regained his lying- on- a- bed-of- nails world championship in December, has had his record questioned by several readers of the Herald. In an attempt to clear up this understanding about his claim, Orchante has issued a challenge to these people - to try to break his new record of two hours and 20 minutes, using his bed of nails. The misunderstanding has arisen over the length of the nails used in the bed and the spacing of them on the base, he says.

According to Orchante, his record stands because he used five inch sharpened nails, spaced not less than two-and-a-half inches apart (in actual fact, they're spaced three inches apart). The theory is that the shorter the nail the sharper they are (this is not theory, it is actual fact) and the wider apart the more difficult. One claim to a record made in the Herald yesterday by I.H. Barnett concerned a bed of nails 1½ inches apart, says Orchante. Other record claimers used six inch nails which, when compared to five-inch nails, are quite blunt. Anybody who wishes to press the point with the entertainer must be prepared to use Orchante's - Own Bed Of Nails!

NOBODY DID!
