6. Remarkable Magic #308 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
A
Goodbye and a Bravo.
I
want to start this column with a goodbye to one of the nicest
people that ever graced the magic world - Amos Levkovitch.
I have never seen a greater impact from the passing of a
beloved figure in the magic community. From the outpouring
of spoken and written tributes to Amos, it is apparent that
everyone agrees that this was really one of magic's true
gentlemen.
I
first became friends with Amos in 1984 when I was the technical
advisor for Steven Spielberg's TV series Amazing Stories.
An opening shot was created that featured my character producing
a dove onstage. It was a really complex shot that began
as a close-up and panned back to encompass a fabulous studio
replication of the Magic Castle.
The
only problem was that I had never produced a dove before,
and never wanted to, I still have nightmares about the feel
of their nasty scabby claws on my finger. Amos came to my
rescue and taught me what to do and gave me the dove to
do it with. In Hollywood tradition he became a technical
advisor to the technical advisor and even ended up with
an onset job as a dove wrangler! We have been friends ever
since and like so many others I will miss him greatly. He
was a wonderful performer and an even more wonderful person.
Farewell my friend.
Last
Saturday I caught a great variety magic show here in Las
Vegas at Planet Hollywood. The event was TV Magic Week in
The David Saxe Theatre, and it ran from June 25th-30th with
daily shows at 4pm. The show was a sixty-five minute high-energy
romp of magic, illusion, masks, animals, fun and even some
great sleight of hand close-up thrown in. The time sped
by and the pace of the show never dragged, this was an excellent
decision and allowed the capacity audience to enter very
enthusiastically into the energy of everything.
Talking
about energy, veteran Las Vegas entertainer Russ Merlin
did a magnificent job hosting the show. He didn?t waste
a word or a moment in his role as MC, and then closed out
the show with his one of a kind act. Russ act features four
onstage assistants, four very bizarre masks and a lot of
theatrical stage whispering. It is hard to describe the
act, but even harder not to laugh at it. While you couldn't
call it a magic show, that maybe its closest relative! Great
job Russ.
Other
acts on the bill included the exotic bird trainer Clint
Carvalho, fresh from a recent appearance on Americas Got
Talent, whose good-natured show had the audience in the
palm of his hand. Maybe what I mean is in the claw of his
parrots foot! The precision of their various stunts was
both impressive and humorous. I am a sucker for a good animal
act and this one is as honed as any you are ever likely
to see.
One
nice touch in the show was the inclusion of a big screen
close-up sequence from Armando Vera. He did some very impressive
card and coin work that added a real dimension to the performance.
It was very clean and commercial work that made a big impact
on the audience. Armando showed a great deal of savvy in
his choice of material and a lot of discipline in his construction
of this segment.
Leslie
McKinney and Lorie, performed some highly effective grand
illusion in their segment of the show. The couple were smooth
and original in both their performance and presentation.
As a magician I appreciated the design of McKinneys various
props, they all had something unique about them and looked
and functioned just a little differently from what one might
expect. A really sweet interlude in his show was when Les
performed a Misers Dream onstage with two young ladies from
the audience it was a show stealer. Leslie and Lorie performed
a
very accomplished set and were another fine addition to
a highly professional show.
So
in its usual manner, life goes on in the magic world. We
say goodbye to a beloved member of our community and watch
another show created and filling a showroom. TV Magic Week
was the kind of bill that Amos would have fitted into perfectly
and his iconic dove work would have been a huge plus point
to the production. However, as I said, Life goes on

7. Edinburgh International Magic Festival - David Berglas
--------------------------------------------
Article forwarded on by Mel Kientz (US)
Edinburgh
International Magic Festival:
David Berglas on the stunts that inspired a generation of
illusionists Berglas is the star attraction in the capital
this week and, at 86, remains the inspiration for the new
generation of illusionists.
by
Rick Fulton
Magician
David Berglas
The man has his arms outstretched. Two nurses hold his wrists
with one of their hands while the other marks the beat of
his pulse swishing down in the air, echoed by the tap of
a drum.
The
movement of the beat they are marking begins to slow. Slower
still until it stops. Both nurses cling to the mans wrists,
disbelief on their faces. The man, still talking, has slowed
his pulse in both wrists to a stop. He is a dead man ...
talking.
And
that is the magic of David Berglas, who they called The
International Man of Mystery way before Mike Myers took
it for Austin Powers. David, 86, has led the way for modern,
television and Las Vegas magicians. As well as creating
magic that has still to be mastered, he wrapped it in entertainment
- adding tension and showmanship to the television age.
Dynamo
called him a living legend, while Derren Brown said he is
one of our greatest living magical performers. Derren has
slowed down the pulse in one of his wrists - but not both.
No one else has been able to stop the pulse in both.
David
will be the star attraction of tomorrows events at this
years Edinburgh International Magic Festival, which starts
today and carries on until July 5.
Of
his standing with the worlds greatest magicians, David said:
I am always very honoured when they ask me for their advice.
Most
of the top names have taken things from my books, which
they say have inspired them. There is much to be inspired
by. David is the only person to have gone down the notorious
Cresta Run in St Moritz blindfolded. And in 1987, a reporter
suggested that David perform a trick in the new Magic Circle
HQ.
He
went into the street and astounded the reporter with an
impromptu levitation.
He
is also one of only a very few magicians to have a trick
named after him. The Berglas Effect is the Holy Grail of
card tricks. It is incredible to watch and seemingly impossible
to do.
No
wonder that magic stars are queuing up to tap his mind.
David said: Derren has done six touring shows and all of
them had scenes based on my routines.
He
managed to stop one of his pulses. But I can change the
tempo of both my pulses. No one has ever been able to copy
that. Dynamo is very quiet, unassuming. He is doing terrific
stunts and is completely different.
David
also knows perhaps the worlds most high-profile illusionist
David Blaine - who has used magic tricks Berglas was doing
many years ago, like smoking a cigarette under water. It
seems that despite what Simon Cowell says on Britains Got
Talent, magic is on the up.
Harry
Potter has given new generations more of an interest and
the new film, Now You See Me starring Woody Harrelson, has
given it a Hollywood polish.
David
said: I understand why Simon grumbles when there is a magic
trick. He has not seen many good ones. Magic is only as
good as the performance. But was David born with magic?
He
laughed: That is like asking a good musician whether you
are born like that.
You have an inner talent. You have to have a deep interest,
lots of dedication and if it absorbs you, you can become
a good magician. You aren't born a magician.
David's
own life is adventurous and inspiring.
He
fled Nazi Germany when he was 11 and after being turned
down by the RAF because he was underage, he joined the US
army until 1947, working in intelligence. After being demobbed,
he joined his familys textile business and went to Bradford
Technical College to study the business. But a chance meeting
with magic dealer Ken Brooke gave him an interest.
It
was a hobby for five years as David worked in psychotherapy,
studying medical hypnosis. By 1952, he was a professional
magician and in 1953 performed in Scotland for the first
time. Tomorrow he will talk to MagicFest artistic director
Kevin McMahon about his extraordinary career.
This
will be a question and answer event held at the Festival
Theatre, which is on the site of the Empire, where David
made his Scottish debut in 1953. He said: Edinburgh was
very refined and I never heard of any complaints. Every
town had its own reputation.
The
worst was Glasgow. Most acts dreaded working there. It was
known as the comics graveyard as they had such a rough time.
He began working in radio, which then led to television.
He was one of the first magicians to appear on British TV
with Meet David Berglas in 1954. He then moved to Las Vegas
and inspired a generation of magicians with his Channel
4 series The Mind of David Berglas in the 80s.
Soon
he was called on to help with so-called special effects
in Hollywood. Special effects departments were good at exploding
things but when it came to making a glass of wine float
without any means of support, they called on David. He worked
with Orson Welles on Casino Royale in 1967, which led to
him working on five other Bonds. David also helped Jack
Nicholson handle cards as the Joker in the 1989 film Batman.
David
retired 20 years ago but his magic continues to inspire.
He said: Younger magicians copy those on the telly rather
than going to the theatre and watching.
In
my day, very few people knew where to find magic. There
weren't many books but now there are loads of books or films.
So theres nothing original coming through. The ones who
are successful are the ones who present it well.
Learning
a trick doesn't make you a magician. You have to charm,
puzzle and entertain. And David has done all that. In spades,
hearts, diamonds and clubs.

11. Tales of the Red Tape #40: The USDA Rabbit Police
--------------------------------------------
Article forwarded on by Peter Philips (US)
The
Foundry
Theres
no good way to deliver this disturbing bit of news except
to come right out with it: Marty the Magician and others
in the business of pulling a rabbit from a hat are under
strict orders from the federal government to develop a contingency
plan for handling their critters in the event of a natural
or man-made disaster.
And,
no, a recipe for Hasenpfeffer wont suffice.
Said
plan will be evaluated once a year, when enforcers from
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) make their annual
unannounced bunny home inspections. Oh, and all magicians
are required to carry a copy of the contingency plan at
all times and make it available for inspection while in
travel status. After all, animal owners might want to consult
the rabbit-rescue protocol amid the chaos of saving their
families from a deadly hurricane or tornado.
With
the July 29 compliance deadline looming, the USDA recently
sent Marty the Magician (aka Marty Hahne of Springfield,
Missouri) an eight-page communiqué detailing requirements
for the plan, which must:
Identify
common emergencies most likely to occur,
Outline
specific tasks required to be carried out in response to
each of the identified emergencies,
Identify
a chain of command and who (by name or by position title)
will be responsible for fulfilling these tasks, and
Address
how response and recovery will be handled in terms of materials,
resources, and training needs.
All
of which means that Marty must prepare for all the calamities
that could possibly befall Casey the Rabbit while making
the rounds of more than 150 performance venues he visits
each year, including schools, libraries, churches, and homes.
The
goal of the rule, according to the USDA, is to increase
the regulated community's awareness and understanding about
their responsibilities to protect their animals in emergency
situations. (That might seem reasonable enough only if one
assumes that animal owners have absolutely no desire to
protect their furry friends or their investments.) But the
agency also acknowledges that many animal
handlers developed and implemented contingency plans in
the wake of Hurricane Katrina some seven years before the
government issued its mandate. Alas, this isnt Martys first
encounter with the bunny patrol. By law, magicians must
be licensed by the federal government to use rabbits in
their acts, as specified in Title 9, Chapter I, Subchapter
A, Parts 1-4 of the Animal Welfare Act.
Martys
first home inspection didnt go so well. He was written up
because Caseys travel cage lacked stickers indicating live
animal and the arrows pointing upward (in the event hes
tempted to carry the cage upside down). When questioning
the enforcement action, Marty was warned that verbal abuse
of an inspector carries a fine of $1,000 per incident.
One
might be forgiven for thinking (hoping!) this hare-brained
regulation is an anomaly. It isnt. In reality, the bunny
rule epitomizes the incessant expansion of government interference
in our lives. In the Obama Administrations first term alone,
the cost of major regulations increased by $70 billion annually
and thats just for 131 of the thousands of rules actually
issued. If only they could disappear with the wave of a
magic wand.
