2. FISM Update - Old Quebec UNESCO Site
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)

The beauty of Old Quebec is difficult to describe. A walled city with limestone buildings and narrow cobblestone streets look like something out of a fairy tale. I never tire of it.

All of walled Old Quebec has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and no wonder. Quebec was founded by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain in the early 17th century. It bears eloquent testimony to important stages in the European settlement of the Americas. It was the capital of New France and, after 1760, of the new British colony. The Historic District of Old Québec is an urban area of about 135 hectares.

It's the only North American city to have preserved its fortifications, together with the numerous supports, gates and defensive works which still surround Old Quebec.

The Upper Town, built on the cliff and defended by fortified ramparts, has remained the religious and administrative centre, with its churches, convents and other monuments like the Dauphine Redoubt (one of the best examples of a building associated with Canada's military history), the Citadel and Château Frontenac hotel.

The Lower Town grew up around Place Royale and the St. Lawrence River harbor. A well-preserved integrated urban ensemble, the historic district is a remarkable example of a fortified colonial town, unique north of Mexico, and forms an urban area which is one of the best examples of a fortified colonial city.

Since its inclusion on the World Heritage List in 1985, a number of buildings in Old Québec have been added to the list of properties protected under the Cultural Property Act, including the Site historique et archéologique de l'Habitation-Samuel-De Champlain, the Ursuline Convent of Québec and the archaeological reference collection of Place Royale, all places worth a visit.
Furthermore, any construction, renovation, restoration and signage interventions in Old Québec must have the prior authorization of the Commission d'urbanisme et de conservation of the City of Québec.

3. MAGIC Live & Surprise!
--------------------------------------------
Message by Stan Allen (USA)

As of today, we're five months away from kicking off MAGIC Live! When we gather on May 15th for our Welcome Party, it will have been 1,010 days since we were last "Live!" And if you're counting - and we are - that's a little over 24,000 hours and just shy 1.5 million minutes!

If I may take one or two of those minutes, I'd like to talk about...

Surprise!

Research has shown that the most important thing people look for in a magic show is surprise. We've always known the power of surprise at MAGIC Live, which is why we do not announce presenters or performers prior to the event.

When checking in at the convention, registrants receive a guidebook that lists who the speakers are, what they're speaking on, and when. That way, everyone can plan their days.

The nights, however, are for shows - five shows to be exact! As with all magic shows, these will strive to surprise you, not only with who's on, but also what they're doing.

Each year, we hear from attendees that MAGIC Live makes them feel like they're a kid at their first convention. I think that's largely due to the element of surprise. I remember going to the conventions of my youth and being surprised, over and over again. It was quite a feeling.

So, at MAGIC Live, we will continue to guard those surprises, hopefully, helping you feel a bit like a kid again.

I hope that you and yours are enjoying a safe and wonderful holiday season. And I hope to see you May 15-18 in Las Vegas.

Surprises await!

Stan

4. The Magic Word - Melanie Kramer "Inside The Box"
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

This week we chat with performer from the "other side" of the box. Melanie Kramer is a magicians' assistant having performed with some of the best known entertainers in Las Vegas including Criss Angel, Kevin James, Joseph Gabriel, Jeff McBride, Shimshi, Losander and many more.

She is not only a "box jumper" but also a stilt walker, mime, ventriloquist, model, emcee, actress and more as part of her entertainment company, Posh Productions. Our conversation this week is lively, fun and funny as Melanie tells stories from "inside the box" and what magicians should look for when auditioning an assistant. Many male magicians use their wives or girlfriends, but Melanie has some advice on that.

8. Magical Women With Connie Boyd
--------------------------------------------
Message by Connie Boyd (USA)

Dennis Michaels interviews "It's Magic" star Lance Burton , Victor & Diamond & Connie Boyd in 1994 at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California. The 39th, "It's Magic" show was produced by Terry Hill and Milt Larson, founder of Magic Castle.

Lance Burton is a world class magician from Kentucky, USA. He performed more than 15,000 shows in Las Vegas for over 5,000,000 people. In 2010 he ended his show at the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino completing a 31-year Vegas show career run. Lance performed an initial eight-week trial at the Folies Bergère show in Las Vegas, which ended up a record-breaking nine year run.

In 1982, he competed at the international Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques (FISM) competition in Lausanne, Switzerland, and won the "Grand Prix" prize (the main event of the FISM competition). He was the youngest person to ever win the main event, and the first American to do so. Victor & Diamond

Milt Larsen and his brother, Bill Larsen Jr., were both in television and grew up in a family of magicians. Their father, William W. Larsen Sr., was a performing magician and Los Angeles defense attorney. Their mother, Geraldine, was an early TV pioneer children's entertainer known as The Magic Lady. In 1963 Milt opened the newly restored Magic Castle which included the Academy of Magical Arts. The iconic members-only exclusive Magic Castle has presented many of the best magicians in the world.

IT'S MAGIC In 1956 Milt Larsen produced his first all-star magic revue "It's Magic!", with a new edition playing West Coast performing arts centres annually. The revue was co-produced by Terry Hill. Various editions of the show played West Coast performing arts centers from Bellingham, Washington, to San Diego. This uploaded clip is from Glendale.

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

What a week it's been! The "It's in the Stars'' Gala and Award Show was a huge success, with viewers tuning in from around the world. Produced by Anthony Darkstone, in partnership with the S.A.M. International Assembly, this All-Star Show set a new standard for Virtual Magic Galas. I was honoured to perform with Rod Chow, Meadow Perry, John O'Riordan, Dr. Michael Likey, Joel Zaritsky, Kevin Peel, Sylvia Sceptre, Mind Weak, Brian Rolé and Lola Palmer. I was also presented with the first Darkstone Award for Excellence in Magical Mentoring. Other Awards were presented to Mark Williams, Rod Chow, John O'Riordan, Brian Rolé and Dr. Michael Likey. Full details are available on the International Assembly FB Group.

This week's Episode of GenoMania was a marathon of Magic, Mischief and Meaning. We are counting down to the closing date of the OMC and there are some extraordinary entries! The official judges, Grandmaster Albert Tam, Social Media Superstar Wian van den Berg and myself certainly have our work cut out for us. Geno and I also unveiled a number of our plans for 2022 and discussed professional etiquette for Restaurant and Strolling Magic. This section alone should be required watching for anyone starting out as a professional performer.

In other news, Chris Edwards gave my "CoinCentric'' Download a glowing Review. The "Wonder Workshop", "Get Reel" and "Solitaire Crossing V2" Downloads have set a high standard of excellence for the Academy and DeVilleMagic. Not ones to rest on our laurels, we will keep up this frenzied pace into next week, with Illusioneering X and Illuminations III, now in production.

What began as a drop, just three months ago, has become the wave of High Tech Virtual Magic that we are riding into 2022.

10. No Stone Unturned - Paul Stone - Article #42
--------------------------------------------
Message by Paul Stone (US)

Once again, I shared lunch this week here in Las Vegas with a few notable magic personalities for what has now become a regular event.

I joined Bill Smith, Charlie & Sherry Frye, Fielding West, Lupe Nielsen, Lynetta Welch, and Amazing Johnathan - it was particularly great to see him - for what is always a really enjoyable catch up.

Fielding mentioned that he was shortly to visit Austin, Texas, for a few days and whilst there was going to see Austin's longest running live show, the iconic 'Esther's Follies' hosted by comedy magician and illusionist Ray Anderson.

The show which was originally conceived as a tribute to aquatic choreographer Esther Williams has been entertaining sold-out audiences in Austin for over 40 years with political satire, comedy sketches, Vegas style magic and hilarious musical numbers, and has been described as 'Austin's answer to Saturday Night Live'.

Bill Smith's Magic Collectors Expo is taking place in Austin from April 13-15, 2022 and one of the highlights will be a visit to Esther's Follies, so I highly recommend you visit the website www.magiccollectorexpo.com and book your tickets for what I'm sure will be another really excellent event.

Lance Burton was back in Vegas for a few days recently and performed his 'Lance Burton & Friends' Show to raise funds for 'Opportunity Village' and Variety Children's Charity.

The show was well received as of course you would expect and very successful too, raising over $10,000 for these two important charities.

For many years Lance has always been an amazing supporter of various charities and in particular the Shriners, and several animal charities, and has raised many thousands of dollars. That he continues to do so, even in his 'semi-retirement' should be hugely applauded.

I use the words 'semi-retirement' for Lance because his 'Lance Burton & Friends' Show is still very much ongoing, with several shows lined up across the USA in 2022. Lance has now even bought and refurbished a tour bus for the cast and crew.

Long may he continue to entertain audiences, he is a wonderful performer and one of the nicest guys in show business.

11. I've Got Your Number - John Carey #146
-------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
http://www.johncareymagic.co.uk/

I've got your number is a strong, fun, and fooling close up mental effect where a spectator unerringly arrives at and calls your mobile/cell phone number. No apps or gaffs are used. Three very deceptive systems will be taught which you can mix and match, making this a fun effect to carry in your pocket or wallet and be able to perform pretty much anywhere on demand!

You will require eight business cards. Write your mobile phone number on the blank surface of one of your cards. Mark the face of this card with a simple pen dot. On the other seven cards, write different random phone numbers. Stack the cards together and pop them into your wallet, ready for action.

System & Presentation #1

"A little mystery with mobile telephone numbers. Each of these cards has a different one of my friends' numbers on them. Please take them and shuffle to truly randomize them." Display the business cards with different numbers on and hand them to a participant for mixing, numbers side down. Take back the packet of cards and deal the cards left to right, forming two packets, at the same time noting which packet contains your marked card.

"Two packets of cards, but we don't need them both. So just pick up either packet." We will now segue into some Equivoque to bring the routine to a successful conclusion. Equivoque either looks great or awful. Hesitation is an absolute no-no, confidence is the key. So when your helper picks up a packet and it's your target packet, simply brush the other packet aside. But if they pick up the other packet, direct them to place it to one side.

Have them shuffle the target packet and then deal the top card face-up and the next face-down. Have them repeat this with the remaining two cards, forming a tabled row of two face-up and two face-down cards. Now for the next Equivoque: "We have face-up and face-down cards. I'm
going to take out one of those groups. Shall I take out the face-up or the face-down cards?" After your helper has dealt the four cards you will be instantly able to tell if your target card is face-up or face-down. If it's faceup and they say take out the face-up group, do just that, sliding the two
cards forward from the row and discarding the face-down cards casually.

However if they say take out the face-down group you do that but simply discard those two cards. The phrase "take out" is beautifully ambiguous, that is able to mean 'use' or 'remove' as we see fit. Naturally, if the target card is a face-down card you just use the above strategies to get down to just two cards including it.

"You've done everything here. Two cards remain. Please hand me one." This is the final part of our verbal manipulation. Ambiguity of wording once again drives the method engine here. If they hand you the target card simply discard the other card to one side with the other cards. But
if they hand you the non-target card simply ask them to pick up the card they decided to keep.

Your job is done. Remind your helper how they shuffled, they made all the choices etc. Ask them to take out their phone and call your 'friend'. There will be a big reaction when your mobile phone goes off and you take it out to answer their call!!!

System & Presentation #2

For this version you only need seven of your telephone number business cards, including your marked card with your number written down. We will utilize a quite brilliant forcing concept of George Sands here called

the principal of prime numbers that he published in an effect called Lucky 13 in the Pallbearers Review magazine many years ago (and of course explored in the preceding effect in this very book, Prime Time). Display your business cards with different mobile/cell numbers written on
the backs. Turn the packet over and hand the cards out for mixing. Upon return deal the cards into a circle on the table, making a mental note of the position of your marked target card. "Numbers play a daily role in all our lives, with door numbers, PIN numbers and so on. Please call out a number between one and seven and we will use it to eliminate cards down to just one."

Any number in this range can be called and believe it or not, your target card will be forced. Let's say they call out three for example. We will start the count from the card that follows our marked card working in a clockwise direction. When we arrive at four turn that card over. Repeat
this, starting the count on the next card and once again turning over the last card counted. Repeat these actions at a nice brisk but unhurried pace until just one business card remains unturned, your force card. "You shuffled the cards, you thought of a number. Any other number
would have led us to a different card. Please pick up the last card remaining unturned and call my friend." They do, you answer their call and everybody goes home happy!

System/Presentation #3

For this final system we will use eight cards again including our marked business card. This version is akin to the classic trick that cannot be explained and is so much fun to do as it's never the same. The opening script is not only interesting, it can also play a vital role in the method, as
you will see shortly. Pour yourself a nice drink and grab your cards. You are going to love this!

"I think it's safe to say that most things in life are down to chance. For example, you think about a friend in your area you haven't seen for a while and then you bump into them later that day at the shops. Sometimes though strange things happen that surpass chance and are hard to rationalize or explain. I call that fate. I also believe that sometimes things are mapped out in our lives and journey and they call that destiny." Once you've delivered the above monologue, hand out your business cards for mixing. Now for the fun part:

1. Ask your helper to turn the packet over. If your telephone number card is on the face, you are golden. Have them dial the number and bring the effect home as in our earlier systems.

2. If it isn't on the face, immediately ask them to cut the packet and complete the cut. If your target card is cut to the face, happy days!

3. If it isn't cut to the face, ask your participant to turn the packet over and deal the top card to the table. If it's your target card conclude the effect successfully as before.

4. If the first card dealt isn't your target card simply continue with no hesitation to ask your helper to continue dealing the cards into a tabled row, keeping your eye out for your marked card. If you see it hasn't been dealt after the seventh card, dramatically stop your participant. Ask them to turn over the card they are holding and dial the number. Finish as before.

As you can see, we have lots of opportunities for great outcomes here. You will be amazed how many times you will get these moments. But if we don't get these breaks, no problem! We will do a callback to our opening script about chance, fate and destiny and use one of those words
to successfully conclude the mystery.

1. If the target card is third from your left or right, spell Chance one card at a time in the correct direction to arrive at it.

2. If the target card is fourth from the left or right in the row, mention how earlier you talked about FATE and spell to it.

3. Finally, if your target business card is second from either the left end or the right end of the row do a call back to when you talked about how some things happen that really are DESTINY.

Spell to it and hand the card arrived at to your participant and as before, have them make the call and conclude with a big surprise!

So that's it! A very commercial, strong, and funny mental piece you will use. You've got three different system options and also tools you can apply to so many other effects...

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

Queenstown, the leading tourist centre of the South Island of New Zealand, is an old haunt of mine. First worked there in 1960 and performed there regularly over the years until we left for
Australia. So we are staying in a motel (just outside of the town), which was set well off the road and surrounded by numerous tall trees - quite a charming setting. It was our last day in Queenstown and had arranged with the motel to book out late in the afternoon. We head off into town to do some shopping, leaving Brigitte behind which didn't please her at all; we could hear her mouthing off' as we got into the car.

We get back around 3pm and the owners come running up to say that Brigitte was up in one of the trees. As we later discovered, she had found a small louvre window in the bathroom that was open slightly and had flown out, taking off after us as were heading down the driveway but we were well away by then, so she planted herself in the top of a tree and gave vent to her feelings about being left behind, flitting from tree to tree - 'swearing' her little heart out. I don't know if you have ever heard a cockatiel in full cry but when they get wound up the whole neighbourhood
knows about it! The owners said that it was quite obvious that she was utterly 'Pissed Off' and that whatever she was spouting forth in bird language -'It sure wasn't polite and, it sure was loud'!

Oh boy, did she punish us! No amount of cajoling could entice her down from her lofty perch and when I say lofty, those trees where at least forty feet high - no way I could climb up to reach her.

An hour has gone by and Brigitte resolutely refuses to come down and I'm starting to get mad. We go and pack the car, hoping that seeing us doing that will bring her down but NO! 'The Little
Bitch'! Now it's getting late and I'm fuming - It's 'caveman' time. I start throwing stones, sticks, anything to get her down; if she'd had two fingers she would've given me the time-honoured - 'Up Yours', salute!

How can something so small create so much grief? I'm going from, 'C'mon Brigitte, I'm sorry, we all love you', to - 'you rotten, little so and so, guess what's for dinner tonight'? I'm beginning
to feel like 'Wily Coyote' from the 'kids' cartoon, 'The Road Runner'! Finally she flies down to a lower branch; as I approach her, expecting her to use my shoulder as a landing pad as she always does; she takes off again - up into another tree, bloody hell, I could have 'killed' her!

It is starting to get dark and we have to hit the road soon. We make arrangements with the motel owners that if she is still around the following day, and if she comes down to them, they
would care for her until we can get back. A final cup of coffee, I start the car, it is almost dark now - in a last desperate attempt I climb out of the car and roar - 'Brigitte, we're
leaving now, are you coming or not'? A flutter of wings and the Brigitte lands on my arm twittering away, you could almost hear her saying, 'What's all the fuss about'. We didn't know whether to laugh or cry, or wring her bloody neck!

Looking back now, I find it strange that in all of my years in show business performing magic etc., I've never had the inclination to use doves or parrots in my act. I guess that it's because to me, and Veronica, they have always been pets, to love and cherish as you do (or should) your cats and/or dogs.

So, crossing back over the Tasman Sea to Australia, we have been residing in Sydney for quite a few months and have been accepted and are fully entrenched on the club scene, working our little butts off and making good money. We decide to get a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, something we have always wanted but could never afford in New Zealand. Apart from that, you really need to get one while it is still a chick, rear and hand feed it so that it grows up as part of your family. We didn't know that then.

We head off to a market and buy a young bird, but not young enough as we were soon to find out. All parrots have one hell of a nasty bite. Sulphur Crested Cockatoos in particular, can take
your finger right off quite easily, and if they haven't been tamed early on, are very vicious. The problem is finding a pet shop that has more to offer in the way of advice to newcomers, especially in regards to potentially dangerous birds etc. than just making money as a priority by selling pets. I guess we were wide open to an unscrupulous Australian pet seller at an open
market - our New Zealand accent was a dead giveaway as to our more than likely lack of any real knowledge of large cockatoos. In our case, going to a market because "You can pick up a
cockatoo really cheap there", was the wrong one, and the seller took full advantage of his assumption that we were as green as hell when it came to Australian cockatoos.
