2. Visiting Quebec During FISM
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)

Over the next several months I'll write articles about Quebec City and the surrounding area. All of the information will come from the Internet.

I love Quebec City. It's the one city that makes Canada unique from the rest of North America. I'm hoping my series will inform registrants about things they should see in the area and encourage others to join us at FISM.

Quebec City Old Town, an overview

Québec City sits on the Saint Lawrence River in Canada's mostly French-speaking Québec province. Dating to 1608, it has a fortified colonial core, Old Québec and Place Royale, with stone buildings and narrow streets. This area is the site of the towering Château Frontenac Hotel and imposing Citadelle of Québec. The Petit Champlain district's cobblestone streets are lined with bistros and boutiques.

Surrounded by a wall dating to the 17th century, Old Quebec is rich in historic landmarks and museums.

The Wall

As the only walled city north of Mexico, Quebec has a long military history. From its founding in 1608 by French explorer Samual de Champlain, to being conquered by British forces in 1759, Quebec City has seen major battles. To defend against attacks, a wall was built around the city in 1690. This original wall included 11 towers, but was hastily built and replaced three years later. The current wall began to take shape in 1745, permanently surrounding the city against battles and sieges. Walking the 4.6 km (3 miles) wall is a great way to immerse yourself in the city's military history.

The Old Town has many interesting sites to visit and is an awe inspiring journey through architectural treasures unlike anything outside Europe. All this monumental beauty has a place on UNESCO's list of world heritage sites.

There are luxury hotels in Québec City Old Town and many shops. Among the best restaurants in Québec City Old Town, you will find incredible places for fine dining as well as lovely restaurants inside Old Québec's walls. These will be described in later weeks.

Its main street, Rue du Petit-Champlain at the foot of Cap Diamant, is claimed to be the oldest commercial district in North America.

Breakneck Steps

This outdoor staircase, the oldest in Québec City, dates back to the beginning of the French colony. Many tourists take photographs at this location, as it affords a wonderful view of one of Canada's most picturesque streets: rue du Petit-Champlain.

The 59 steps of the Breakneck Stairs connecting Côte de la Montagne to rue du Petit-Champlain are just one of the ways to move between Upper and Lower Town.

As you gaze down upon Petit-Champlain, a charming pedestrian street stretching along the foot of the cliff, you would think you were looking at a postcard come to life.

In the summer, the ultimate experience on the Stairs consists of eating or having a drink at one of the restaurant terraces located on the different landings.

In 1893, the wooden staircase was replaced by a larger iron one with three bannisters. The one in place today dates back to the late 1960s. It was at this time that it became known as the Breakneck Staircase, a term coined by British tour guides. No serious injuries have been reported on the stairs, despite their ominous name!

3. AMA Policy For Vaccine Mandate
--------------------------------------------

Academy of Magical Arts, Hollywood

The safety of our staff, performers, and patrons is of the utmost importance to us. After some further assessment, we are amending our policy, requiring that all unvaccinated guests provide a negative covid test within 24 hours of their reservation.

Message by Craig Petty (UK)

I was lucky enough to sit down and chat on the latest episode of Talk Magic with Daniel Young.
Daniel is one of the best kept secrets in magic. An amazing creator, a really nice person and very knowledgeable.

He was also one of the main demonstrators in Davenports for years. I've been wanting him to come on and be interviewed for a long time.

In this interview I chat with Daniel about his career and his thoughts on magic and the state of the magic community at the moment. He also opens up and talked about his experiences are Davenports.

I want to thank Daniel for coming on the channel. This is an incredible interview. Here's the link, I highly recommend everyone watches it

Chicago Magic Lounge

Small Treasures

In addition to the larger items at the Chicago Magic Lounge our shelves are filled with smaller treasures from the world of magic. In the library one of my favorite pieces is volume 1 number 1 of Conjurer's Monthly Magazine which was published by Houdini in 1906. Not only is it the first issue, it is inscribed on the cover by Houdini to the recipient as being the "the first issue to the first subscriber" and goes on to say the other subscribers will be getting their copies later. It is signed twice by Houdini, and his distinctive handwriting in fountain pen is clear and bold. This is framed along with another autographed Houdini picture card. The magazine is truly a one of a kind piece.

In another library cabinet (there are 8 total) we have an original Tarbell course as it was first issued. It was printed sheets that were mailed out as a subscription. When assembled the paper pile is about 5 inches thick. We also have a set of the bound editions signed by Tarbell to George Bailey. On a lower shelf rest original props from Charlie Miller including his prop case, a small old beat up suitcase. We magicians love our cases, don't we?? I have so many cases I need a case just to hold my cases!! Charlie's color changing knife set is here too, and I was honored to be gifted one of these by the owner of the Magic Lounge. I was using it the night he gave it to me, trying to channel the old greats of close up magic when I dropped it in a sink behind the bar and broke it! Nothing permanent, one of the side pieces popped off. It is now firmly fixed.

Moving to another cabinet we have one of the original card ducks that belonged to Laurie Ireland. The beaks of these first ducks were made from a spring loaded tea straining spoon painted yellow. It is much larger than the card ducks produced later. Laurie was the owner of Ireland Magic in Chicago with his wife, Francis. It was located downtown. When Laurie passed away in the 50's, Frances married Jay Marshall and the store relocated to the north side and became Magic Inc. They are still in business today. www.magic-inc.net

This leads me to the Fran & Jay Marshall display at the Magic Lounge. A signed photo and a "Lefty" glove top the cabinet. It is not a real "Lefty" that he used in performance; it was a table top decoration for a banquet. The cardboard ears were autographed by Jay to Father Cyprian. Below that shelf are 3 others that honor Fran Marshall. There are props from her kid show, including a card duck complete with a wig. Silks, a change bag and some other cloth items that Magic Inc manufactured came from another prop case! This entire case was a true time capsule; everything to do a kid show was in it, including a pair of bedazzled cat eye glasses that she wore. We also have just a couple of the many award plaques she received. Fran probably wrote, edited, and published more magic books and articles than anyone.

The last shelf I'll mention today is our Marshall Brodien shelf. Marshall made several fortunes selling svengali decks, or as he called them, TV Magic Cards. He took the svengali pitch and brought it to millions with his ubiquitous TV advertisements. Dressed in a white shirt and tail tux he guaranteed that "Magic is easy, once you know the secret". These decks helped launch many a magician, myself included! For many years Marshall was also in full wizard makeup for his role as Wizzo the Wizard on the Bozo show which aired on WGN TV in Chicago, and later, across the country. He was a great friend to all.

I once bought a used Zig Zag illusion from Chicago magic dealer Mr. Ash. I was doing it for a company open house being held at a restaurant downtown when Marshall and Al James walked in. Marshall said "Hey that's my Zig Zag!" His presence was everywhere around the Chicago Magic scene. He passed away in March of 2019 at the age of 84.

More treasures await you on your next visit to the Chicago Magic Lounge.

Next week, legendary Chicago bar and restaurant magicians.

8. News From The Academy Of Illusions
--------------------------------------------
Message by Jay Scott Berry (Australia)

I am often asked about maintaining passion, creativity and enthusiasm in the Art. Channing and I used to talk about this and how he had seen many who, as he put it, "Lost the hunger". He cautioned me to always keep the fire in the belly burning and to never rest on my laurels. I often think about the many priceless days with him at his home on the California Coast. The deep conversations we had are indelibly etched into my memory, and serve as a driving force in everything I do. That undying passion and love for the Art is now an integral part of the foundation at the Academy.

The Top Story this week is the release of our second Digital Download, "CoinCentric". This is a 90 minute intensive MasterClass on Sleight-of-Hand Coin Magic. It includes Boot Camp and Basic Training sections as well as two brand new, original routines, "Quintet" and "Coincidence". Fusing Classic Techniques and Original Methods, I also demonstrate how to construct the JSB Coin Clip. It's already been noted that this alone is worth the price of the Download. As the first of three planned volumes, this project will, hopefully, spark a renaissance in the most ancient Art of Coin Conjuring.

This week's "Illusioneering" Episode gave sneak previews and behind-the-scenes looks at "CoinCentric". We took the WayBack Machine 25 years to Holland and Germany to discuss the creative process of Tommy Wonder and Dirk Losander, which resulted in the modern Floating Table Illusion. As a kicker, I showed one of Dirk's original Prototype Tables. Before I retired it, this classic prop saw action across 5 continents, from conventions and festivals to theatre shows. We finished up with more Magical Crafts, this time with Popsicle Sticks. These many practical alternatives to balloon twisting will be the subject of our next Download, "Wonder Workshop", scheduled to premiere on Nov 25th. Stay tuned!

Our resident Master of Mischief and Mayhem, Geno DeVille, has returned from a week of performing at a Magic Festival in Northern China. On this week's "GenoMania", he shared some humorous stories and a video from the trip. His Top Stories were the release of "CoinCentric'' and the Original Magic Competition, which is already drawing in some serious heavyweights. If you love magic, you should head over to the OMC FB Group to check out the amazing entries. www.facebook.com/groups/theomccontest

We continue to receive great feedback on the "Seven Secrets" Series, kindly donated by Alan Watson. Every Episode I watch makes me wish I had learned all of this 40 years ago. These are a treasure trove of practical tools for the business of show that every magician should study.

As a performer, I've kept my creativity and passion burning by always reaching for a higher rung. I constantly remind myself, and others, to give every show as if it were your last, because, one day, it will be. As a teacher, I do all I can to pass that onto my students. That's is the point of the Academy Motto of Excelsior. I like to think that Channing would approve.

9. Free And Willing - John Carey #141

Message by John Carey (UK)

Deddy Corbuzier's Free Will effect is a modern classic. It has spawned some great work from many notable names in Mentalism. What I offer here is a particularly streamlined approach, which looks very fair. I'm writing this up using British coinage, but it's very easy to adapt to
coins overseas. You will require four coins: 1p, 2p, 10p, and 50p. Take a business card and on the blank side write the following message:

I will get the 10p

You will get the 50p

The other coins will go in the pocket.

Remove the four coins from your pocket and casually toss them on the table. Take out your business card message-side-down and table that too. I don't mention the word prediction, or indeed anything at all.

"Rodd, today you will play a little game where each of us gets a coin and the others go into a pocket. On the table we have copper coins and silver coins. Which group do you want to take out? Ok place those copper coins inside your pocket. A 10p and a 50p remain. You will decide which one you want and therefore which one I get at the same time. Think about it and then on impulse slide the one you want towards you and then push the other coin towards me.

So you have the 10p and I have the 50p. Before we go any further, I think it's true to say that you've had complete free will every step of the way yes? On that card I wrote a message earlier based purely on my intuition. Please pick it up and read it out. Impossible!" So in my script above we dealt with one scenario. Happily it's super easy to deal with either scenario that can arise. Firstly we ask them to take out either the copper coins or the silver coins. If they take out the copper coins, you immediately ask your participant to place them inside their pocket.


However if they remove the silver coins YOU pick up the copper coins and place them inside your pocket. Next you ask your helper to keep one of the silver coins for themselves and place one in front of you. Finally, whoever has the 10p reads out the message and you show that a very strange little miracle has unfolded.

I wanted a very direct and no nonsense approach to this plot with no multiple outs. Happily the use of four coins, two copper and two silver provides this in conjunction with our old friend, ambiguity.

10. No Stone Unturned - Paul Stone - Article #37
--------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Stone (US)

I first visited the Magic Castle in Hollywood in 1981. I had brought Ken Brooke over from UK to receive an award at the Academy of Magic Arts Awards Banquet - in those days it was a very classy Gala Dinner event held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Bill and Irene Larsen were the perfect hosts as all the award winners were invited to the Magic Castle. That year they included Peter Reveen, Harry Lorayne, Brother John Hamman and Ken.

I vividly remember the Professor, Dai Vernon, surrounded by a crowd of magicians listening to his every word, and Albert Goshman in his customary location next to the bar, fooling everyone with his salt shaker routine.

I'm not exactly sure when I first met Diana Zimmerman, or as she was known in her earlier and very successful performing career, Diana the Enchantress, but it was several years ago, and I'm happy to say that we remain close friends to this day.

Amongst Diana's many achievements, there is one that most magicians might not be aware of, but one of which she is rightly proud.

Diana started the Magic Castle Junior Program in 1975, and it is still going strong 46 years later, and Diana still plays a very active role. After a few years of persistent petitioning by Diana, it finally received the go ahead from the Magic Castle's board, thanks to the support of legendary actor Cary Grant who felt strongly that there should be some way for kids to be involved with the Magic Castle.

The original team that Diana got together to start this ambitious project included Nick Lewin, Glenn Falkenstein and Jerry Blount. They held auditions at the Troopers Club and one hundred kids showed up. The auditions took place over a two day period, the first day with fifty stage auditions and the second day with 50 close-up auditions. Two of those excited kids were Dirk Arthur and Mark Kalin.

The first meeting was held at the Magic Castle in March 1975. Meetings take place on the last Saturday of the month and every August they also meet at Brookledge, home of the Larsen family.

The Junior Program has launched the careers of several well-known magicians, and no less than three FISM world Champions.

Jason Latimer, Michael Weber, Kevin James, Danny Cole, Chris Hart, Scott Tokar and Neil Patrick Harris all began their magic journeys in this program. Scott's son is a current member so the program can boast it now has a second generation member!

The Junior Program are fortunate to have benefited from lectures by most of the best magicians in the world. Siegfried & Roy, David Copperfield, Teller and Criss Angel have all shared their expertise. And recent lecturers have included Gaetan Bloom and Jim Steinmeyer.

Diana Zimmerman was the 'Chairman' (Chair person!) for the first 15 years, followed by Bob Dorian, and the reins are held today by David Doyle and Steve Barnes.

The meetings these days take place in the Peller area of the Magic Castle and the junior members whose ages range from 12 - 20, are all required to attend most meetings and to present a workshop, normally on one of the 'classics' of magic like Cups & Balls or Linking Rings. Several of the junior members have appeared on Penn & Teller's 'Fool Us' TV Show, and a couple have fooled these masters of magic.

Some junior members travel from as far away as St Louis, San Francisco and Las Vegas to attend meetings. Currently the program has around 50 members.

Every year there is a 'Future Stars' week at the Magic Castle where the junior members take over the whole Magic Castle and perform in all three rooms, the Close-up Room, Parlour and Theatre. This is one of the most popular weeks of the year.

Several of the Junior members are booked to perform at the Magic Castle brunch and get paid too.

The Junior Program now enjoys the full backing and support of the Magic Castle board, following the lead of Johnny Thompson and Irene Larsen who were also strongly in favor of this important link with the Magic Castle.

And although it would be great if there were a few more female members, the Junior Program continues to go from strength to strength, and Diana Zimmerman, over 46 years later is still very much involved. Now, that is impressive, and a wonderful legacy!

If there any young magicians who are planning to be in the Hollywood area and are interested in attending a meeting, they would be very welcome.

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

'Krait'

Here's a more in-depth analysis of this famous but little known former Japanese fishing boat. A robust little vessel - 70 feet (of teak planking) long, 11 foot beam and a copper-sheathed
hull - with a range of 11,000 miles and a top speed of 6.5 knots; she began her life as the 'Kofuku Maru'. Before WWII she operated from Singapore in the abundant fishing grounds off the Malay and Dutch East Indies Coast. When the war in the Pacific broke out in late 1941, the Kofuku Maru was seized by the British Government in Singapore and interned. A few weeks before the rapidly advancing Japanese Army occupied the colony early in 1942, command of the vessel was bestowed upon Bill Reynolds, an Australian who had lived in Malaya and knew the local waters extremely well.

Reynolds sailed the Kofuku Maru to the Rhio Archipelago, where she was put to work as a ferry to evacuate the hordes of refugees fleeing before the Japanese, down the Malay Peninsular. Apart
from acting as a human ferry, she also doubled as a guide ship for all the smaller boats trying to cross the Straits of Malacca. The Kofuku Maru - more than likely, was the only Japanese vessel
to be commanded by an Australian during WW II. She carried out her duties brilliantly - under the very noses of the advancing Japanese. Finally it was time for Bill and his new vessel to flee also.

Strafed by Japanese fighters she ran the gauntlet of the Malacca Straits and disappeared into the vast Indian Ocean. At last the Australian sized Japanese fishing boat made it to Ceylon, a
little battered but still sea worthy. From there she was sent on to Bombay, India. A name change was now in order so whilst at Bombay she was given a new name - Krait, which would forever
become part of Australian Naval history. Aptly named, for Krait is the name of a tiny but highly venomous snake found on the Indian subcontinent. Very appropriate, for like the reptile she
was named after, Krait was able to strike swiftly and surely before her victim(s) realized she was there.

She had originally been sailed to India from Singapore, after its fall to the Japanese, where she was commandeered by Military Intelligence for 'Possible Future Use'. At this point of time in
India, a plan to hit back at the all-conquering Japanese was being hatched. This plan included striking at Japanese shipping at the now occupied island of Singapore. Being Japanese built and
of a type very common in the waters around the former British Colony, Krait seemed the perfect choice to infiltrate enemy lines. As for the approaches to Singapore via Ceylon or India
were heavily patrolled by the Japanese, the best starting point for such an operation was Australia. So it was that Bill Reynolds was ordered to sail Krait on the long and dangerous journey across the Indian Ocean to Fremantle in Western Australia.

'Operation Jaywick'

This was a seemingly suicidal plot to destroy Japanese shipping in Singapore Harbour, and was one of the most daring raids of World War II. September 1943 - ten Australian and four British
servicemen struck at the heart of the Japanese supply line to New Guinea. The heroes of 'Jaywick' travelled 5,000 miles through enemy infested waters to sink Japanese shipping, and destroy the Japanese's confidence and moral. This is the story of the 'Guts' and determination of Australian 'Diggers' and Sailors (as well as the British, among many other nationalities), striking an extraordinary blow against the Japanese during the bitter hostilities.

Departing from Exmouth in Western Australia, Krait, laden with weapons, limpet mines and rubber canoes, headed north toward the Lombok Strait in the extremely dangerous and occupied waters around Surabaja (Surabaya), Java (Indonesia). She was sailed to within 21 miles of the 'Singapore Roads' where the canoes were loaded with rations and water for one week plus operational stores and weapons. The canoe borne raiders arranged their rendezvous with Krait for the night of October 1st at Pompong, 28 miles from the advanced operational post, for which Dongas, eight miles from Singapore Harbour, had been selected.
