3. Reza On The Magic Word Podcast

Message by Scott Wells (USA)
Reza
is a name that some of you know, but I'm guessing that most
don't. But I expect that will soon change. Reza has been
slowly gaining attention as the number one show in Branson,
Missouri. He also tours with his illusion show, plus makes
TV appearances around the globe. Reza is changing the landscape
of entertainment in Branson as the tourist demographic (about
7MM tourists per year come through Branson), he is appealing
to the younger families with his "Edge of Illusion"
show. Some might think of him as a Criss Angel "wannabe"
but he has created his own style, persona, and brand that
speaks to a new generation. As everyone seems to be running
to Las Vegas to "become a star", Reza has chosen
a different path which he talks about in this week's episode
of The Magic Word Podcast.
You

Remember
that you can really help the podcast grow if you will take
a few minutes to give us a five star ranking on iTunes along
with a comment on why you like the podcast. If you can't
give us five stars, then hold off on your review and listen

4. Magic Museum Bellachini - Episode No. 3
-------------------------------------
Message by Wittus Witt (Germany)
In the last episode I wrote about the first Bellachini,
who became very famous. Today I report about the second
Bellachini, who became even more famous.
His
real name is Lukas Strack. Originally he was a bandmaster
(conductor), but soon after he found his way to the art
of magic when he joined the magician Ernst Basch in his
theater as a music director.
Lukas
Strack was also appointed a court artist and he received
many other certificates from kings.
He
was born on April 23, 1861 in a small village near Marburg,
where he also died on November 17, 1930. He made it to a
considerable wealth.
In
the meantime, a plaque has been placed on his home in Marburg,
indicating that the famous magician Lukas Strack-Bellachini
lived here for many years.
For
me personally, Lukas Strack-Bellachini became especially
well known because the great-granddaughter lives in Marburg,
Fe Strack, who has provided me with a great deal of material
about her great-grandfather. She will also come to Hamburg
for the opening of my museum on December 18.
It
continues with the Bellachinis. See you next time.

5. No Stone Unturned - Paul Stone - Article #78
-------------------------------------
Message by Paul Stone (US)
As
I'm sure that anyone writing a weekly article will attest
to, some weeks have more news to report than others. The
copy deadlines seem to creep up on you and there are times
when you literally don't have a clue what you're going to
write about! This week though definitely isn't one of those
weeks!
It
is rare that one can write about losing two national treasures
in the space of a few days, and even rarer that so much
love and respect is universally shown for both lives. But
that is undoubtedly the case in this instance.
The
funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II was a never to be forgotten
event, and even people who aren't in favour of the monarchy
had to be in awe of the magnificent pageantry and precision
of such a huge occasion. The spectacle was quite simply
breathtaking, and delivered in a way that made me very proud
to be British.
The
Queen enjoyed excellent health throughout her long life,
and one of the secrets to her continued popularity around
the world was her ability to move seamlessly with the times
and embrace the changing fashions. She radiated a warmth
and kindness that everybody, from all walks of life could
relate to.
As
I was sitting down to write this week's article, I heard
the sad news that Mark Raffles had passed away.
There
are very few other people whose life I could write about
or could compare in any way to that of the Queen, but Mark
Raffles is one of them.
In
some ways it seems appropriate that his passing coincided
with that of Queen Elizabeth because they shared several
common attributes.
Mark
had lived a long and healthy life, and had recently celebrated
his 100th Birthday. His career was nothing short of incredible
and had spanned over 80 years, during which time he had
performed under various different names and guises as a
manipulator, a pickpocket, a poodle act, and a senile magician!
His
ability to move with the times and completely reinvent himself
was legendary, and throughout all the years he remained
humble, kind and immensely likeable.
I
knew Mark as a friend for over 50 years, and he was always
a delight to spend time with, and I enjoyed many happy occasions
with him and his devoted wife and on-stage partner Joan,
often in the company of another dear and mutual friend Bill
Thompson.
I
booked Mark several times to appear in both corporate and
charity shows, and he always scored well. I can still vividly
remember one of his classic lines 'Eggo in the Baggo', as
he performed the egg bag as only he could do it. And who
could forget the live chicks running all the over the place
at the end of his memorable cups & balls routine!
Mark
& Joan had worked in virtually every theatre in the
world, but the one he wanted to play most, had evaded him.
It was the world famous London Palladium Theatre. So, when
he was in his late 70's, Mark called me, knowing that I
was producing a couple of Variety Shows each year at the
Palladium, and asked if there was any chance that I could
help him to realise his dream.
Mark
was inevitably slowing down a little by then, but I was
determined to make this happen for him. So, I came up with
an idea of a special segment in a 'Variety Live at the Palladium'
Show which I called a 'Tribute to Youth'.
This
segment had three acts in it, two of which showcased young
musicians and singers performing short spots, one of which
actually featured both my sons Danny and Ben doing a Buddy
Holly and Beatles tribute, and the other was the first ever
appearance in a big theatre of a precocious young 12 year
old girl with an enormous voice. Her name, Charlotte Church,
who very soon after became a huge star.
Mark,
assisted by Joan, sailed through his spot, immaculately
and professionally, and loved every minute. And of course,
he received a great ovation from the sold-out audience.
He later described it as 'going to heaven'!
But,
Mark wasn't done just yet, not by a long way! Over 10 years
later, a couple of years after Mark had sadly lost his soulmate
Joan, he contacted me again.
I
was, by this time living in Las Vegas, and producing Variety
and Magic Shows at a few different Hotels & Casinos.
And surprise, surprise, Mark told me that he had one last
item on his bucket list
he wanted to appear in Las
Vegas!
So,
a few months later, at the ripe old age of 90, Mark flew
out to Las Vegas, and he performed his hilarious 'senile
magician' act in one of my 'World Stars of Magic' Shows
at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino.
I'm
not sure who was more excited, him or me! It was an unforgettable
experience, and one that I'll always remember.
I'll
miss Mark greatly, he was above all, a true gentleman, and
yes, he really was a National Treasure. RIP.

7. Tales from the Fantastic Magic Center - #11
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kent Cummins, Director (USA)
Felonious
the Fool
Have
you ever worked at a renaissance festival?
My
first opportunity came in 1986, my first year as a full-time
professional magician. One of my students was going to be
Merlin at the Spring Magic Festival in San Antonio, and
I was teaching him some tricks that Merlin could do. He
invited me to also participate in the festival.
I
didn't want to compete with him doing magic, so I created
a different character. I figured that a court jester could
do some magic, some juggling, some poetry, some physical
comedy
just about anything!
Probably
inspired by the jazz musician, Thelonious Monk, I came up
with "Felonious the Fool." I rented a costume,
and was off to the races (well, off to the Spring Magic
Festival).
I
enjoyed the experience of street performing, and later auditioned
for Scarborough Faire, a spring renaissance festival in
Waxahachie, Texas. Not only was I accepted as a paid performer,
I was also allowed busking privileges (working for tips)
and even became part of the performing company.
So,
I commissioned a professional costume, and added "Oliver
the Baby Dragon," a hand puppet that I had purchased
from a toy store in Munich while on Army active duty. Scarborough
Faire used the court jester as their symbol for that year's
event, so Felonious the Fool would trumpet his horn to open
the gates, and then lead the parade throughout the festival
grounds.
I
did 71 paid shows, and lots of impromptu performing for
tips. Because of my brightly-colored costume (red and yellow
with lots of bells), guests wanted to have their pictures
taken with Felonious the Fool
often resulting in generous
tips.
I
have heard that most men are fools
but I am a professional
fool!

8. Only Time Will Tell - John Carey #172
-------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
http://www.johncareymagic.co.uk/
How
would you like to reveal a time, both the hours and minutes,
that a spectator thinks of without any props? Well now you
can! This effect is a joint collaboration between my great
friend, the super talented Mick Wilson, and me. Recently
via the phone I outlined a method
to Mick which he really liked. Within minutes he had designed
a beautiful presentation for what you are about to learn.
I will give you an outline of the script first, and then
we will discuss the piece in detail.
"Mick,
I would like to play a little mind game with you, using
words and numbers. Firstly I'd like you to quickly think
of a simple shape, like a star, but obviously not that.
Got one? Now I'd like you to imagine seeing a clock face
out in front of you in that shape, but it's completely blank.
We
need an hour, so can you imagine that shape you are thinking
of as a word please? Spell it out in your mind, letter by
letter. Jump to the last letter again please, Mick. We did
say we'd be working with numbers, so can you make a number
that is spelt beginning with that letter? That's
great. You are doing well.
Now
further imagine drawing in that number as an hour on the
clock face that resides purely in your mind. Now we need
some minutes. Can you double the number you are thinking
of please? Now double it again, providing it doesn't take
you beyond 60 minutes. Now mentally fill in those minutes
for me Mick. Just concentrate and see that time you are
thinking of and say it over and over in your mind and project
it to me. Can I ask you a question? What is your favorite
TV
program at 8:32?!"
So
there's the script, which is very loose, relaxed and conversational
in style. With propless effects, this is far better than
a heavy and rigid monologue. So method wise, we are using
a classical psy-force of a shape to make the clock face.
When you ask a participant to quickly think of a simple
shape, like a star, you are pretty much guaranteed they
think of either a square, circle, triangle or rectangle.
All four of these shapes when spelt end in an E.
From
there we will use what Joshua Quinn calls thought chunneling
to force the number eight on them as you ask your participant
if they can think of a number that is spelt beginning with
that letter, which of course, they can. Finally you ask
them to double that number in their mind and
then double it once more to force 32 minutes. From there
on it's pure effect. You can do it as a pure divination
or maybe have a photograph in an envelope or an old pocket
watch as predictions.
A
huge thank you to Mick Wilson for his beautiful presentation
he created for this effect. Now go out and frazzle some
minds...
Additional
Applications
Using the concept taught in the previous effect you can
do so many other effects! Here's a list of stuff to get
you started.
1.
Spectator cuts to the Eights!
2. Have a numbered one-to-ten list of objects. Force eight
and have them remember the object at that number. Then do
a drawing duplication or divination.
3. Think a card. Once they are thinking of eight, have them
add a suit to it to form a card. Then fish for the suit
and reveal their thought of card.
You
truly are only limited by your imagination! up we have...

9. News From The Academy Of Illusions
---------------------------------------------
Message by Jay Scott Berry (Australia)
One
of the benefits enjoyed by Magic Castle Junior Members is
being allowed to attend the regular lectures. The first
one I saw, in 1979, was presented by a magician that I'd
never heard of, named Patrick Page. At the time, I was a
cocky young buck, working at Hollywood Magic, quite certain
that I knew everything. Well, it only took 15 minutes for
this clever Scotsman to show me how little I actually knew!
He was impeccable, in every way. I recall being completely
blown away by the miracles he effortlessly performed. Then,
when he explained them, I was even more impressed. The simplicity
and sheer genius was like nothing I'd ever seen. As an entertainer,
master magician and teacher, he was the epitome of a consummate
showman.
When
he came into the store the following day, I introduced myself,
thanking him and gushing about how amazed I was by his lecture.
He just smiled, shrugged his shoulders and let out a hearty
laugh. That was the beginning of an incredible lifelong
friendship.
We
met again many times over the following years and I always
learned something from watching him. He was jovial and gracious
in sharing his latest effect or offering helpful suggestions.
What impressed me most was that he was always in top form;
each performance filled with boundless enthusiasm.
Patrick
was a regular at the 4F Conventions, which showcase the
world's finest sleight-of-hand performers. It didn't matter
whether he used cards, coins, rings or ropes, they were
always magic in his hands. He was one of the few master
manipulators whose personality transcended the effect, and
technique. Moreover, he always seemed to be having fun on
stage and, as a result, was fun to watch!
In
2003, I invited him to join us for the Palace of Magic Festival
in Scotland. Without even asking about the fee, he agreed.
From then on, he was part of the Festival Team, and we performed
dozens of shows together at Falkland Palace, Dalgety Castle
and Stirling Castle.
My
most treasured memory of Patrick was in 2006, in Poland,
of all places. He and I were co-stars of the Krajowy Klub's
convention in ?ód?. We flew in on the same plane
from London, and neither of us knew what we were getting
into. I had met the organizer, Jerzy Stanek, at the Dresden
FISM in 1997. Patrick, as usual, had just accepted the gig,
sight unseen.
I
recall it was a pleasant flight, with a few drinks and Pat's
inimitable stories. We arrived at the Warsaw airport, and
what followed was simply the best, and most carefully conceived,
ruses, I've ever experienced. Jerzy had told us to meet
him at a cafe just past Customs. When Pat and I arrived,
nobody was there. After about 10 minutes, Jerzy showed up,
clearly flustered and asked us to wait a few minutes before
running off. Pat and I looked at each other, both thinking
that this whole thing might not have been such a good idea.
Jerzy
showed up again, explaining that our ride hadn't arrived
and asked if we were OK with driving in the back of a pick-up
truck. I asked how far it was. He said, "Oh just a
few hours." Mind you, it was mid-October, already past
sunset. Patrick looked at him, then at me, as if to say,
"You've got to be joking!" Well, Jerzy ran off
again and we were left at an utter loss, thinking, how could
this guy possibly be so disorganized. I recall even discussing
getting back on the next plane and flying home!
As
if on cue, Jerzy reappeared, again quite flustered, saying
that he had arranged for a friend to drive us, apologizing
that it was a very small car and we would have to squeeze
in. Without even a hint of what was to come, he beckoned
us to follow. What happened next was something I will never
forget. Pat and I walked through the doors to a full-on,
VIP, Red Carpet welcome, complete with Paparazzi, Bodyguards
and Stretch Limousine! Needless to say, Pat and I were utterly
floored. Jerzy just smiled, beaming from ear to ear, knowing
full well that he had completely fooled us! From there on,
everything was first class and we were given the royal treatment.
The convention was great fun and, on the flight back to
London, we were still laughing and shaking our heads in
disbelief.
Every
time we met after that, we would relive the story of our
unbelievable visit to Poland. Some years later, when Patrick
left us to journey on to the Magic Castle in the Sky, I
could only wonder, and hope, that he received a similar,
red carpet welcome.
