4. Attending FISM? - Rimini's 15 km Beach
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (Canada)
I
looked on the internet and found many things to do around
Rimini. There's something for everyone, and it would be
a shame to attend FISM without enjoying some of the things
Rimini has to offer. In future Blogs I'll describe many
of the things that may interest you.
Having
the largest beach on the Adriatic Sea, Rimini is a favored
Italian seaside holiday destination for Italians themselves,
and is often referred to as the capital of Italian seaside
tourism. The city offers an impressive 15 km (nine miles)
of sandy beaches with top-rate bathing facilities though
many of the hotels have private access for the scores of
hotels facing the shore.
You
might consider relaxing after your flight by visiting Rimini
Terme, a thermal spa on the sea with treatment facilities,
four heated salt water pools, and a wellness center. It's
set in a park with fitness trail, beach, and playground.
Hotel National also has spa facilities and therapeutic treatments.
The philosophy is that life on the beach goes on day and
night. It begins at dawn when people go walking along the
water's edge and finishes well into the night after dinner,
barefoot on the sand. You are welcome to do anything on
the beach. Yoga lessons, needlework courses, sandcastle
competitions and piadina making have all been undertaken
on that 15 km stretch. And of course, all kinds of sport
are practiced there. During the day the beach establishments
organize many kinds of events for adults and children. The
emphasis is on enjoying the moment.
The
best thing of all is that the sport activities (together
with various facilities, warm showers, changing rooms, books
and newspapers, games, entertainment, kindergarten) on the
beach are all free. Everything is included in the daily
price of the umbrella or the sun lounger if you require
one.

5. We're In For Quite An Entertaining Experience At FISM
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joan Caesar (US)
Rob
Zabrecky (from Wikipedia)
Rob
Zabreick (from Wikipedia) is an American songwriter, actor
and magician. His career began in 1998 as the song-writer
and bass player for the Los Angeles group, Possum Dixon.
In 1993 the band, signed to Interscope Records released
3 albums.
During
the mid-1990s he became interested in magic and has since
become a performer and award-winning magician at the Magic
Castle, and has performed throughout the United States and
Japan. He is best known for his eccentric character in which
he combines irreverent dark humour, mentalism and the artful
use of elongated pauses.
In
2003 he formed the off-beat magic trio, The Unholy Three,
by presenting a provocative Dada-esque combination of wizardry,
mentalism and off-beat humour. The Dada movement mentioned
above was born out of negative reaction to the horrors of
World War 1. Dada rejected reason and logic, prizing nonsense,
irrationality and intuition.
In
2011 and 2013 Zabrecky was voted Stage Magician of the Year
by the Academy of Magical Arts. He was host of Who's Hoo,
an on-line interview talk show for members of the Academy
at the Magic Castle, which he co-created with his wife,
Tommi Zabrecky. Since airing in 2008, Zabrecky interviewed
over 85 Magic Castle luminaries and performing members.
He
has also been featured magician at annual magic conventions
and appeared on the cover of Genii magazine.
In
2011, MAGIC Magazine described him as, "A unique persona,
highly reminiscent of Norman Bates, with a bit of Rod Sterling
in the mix - a psycho from the Twilight Zone, doing magic.
Whether performing the Diminishing Cards while spasmodically
'dancing' off-beat to the music, getting electrocuted, cutting
paper into two-headed dolls, or introducing his 95-year-old
grandfather - who turns out to be ashes in an urn - the
results are both mystifying and amusing, fascinating and
entertaining.
One
cannot help but wonder, however, just how much of the strange
fellow onstage is the real Rob and how much is acted by
design. 'In the mid-2000s he began a career in acting and
since landed roles in films, Jajor network television programs,
and commercials. Zabrecky appeared in the 2012 film, After
the Triumph of Your Birth, and in 2013 he starred in the
horror film Decay, playing a middle-aged groundskeeper at
a theme park with a terrible case of OCD. As a television
actor he has appeared on CSI:NY. The mentalist, Brothers
& Sisters, among others.
What
a treat to see him live at FISM, and with luck, meet and
talk with him.

6. Ray Goulet To Be Guest Of Honor
--------------------------------------------
Message by George Schindler (US)
Ray
Goulet To Be Guest Of Honor At Society Of American Magicians
Convention In Philadelphia, July 1-4, 2015
Raymond
Goulet, owner of The Magic Art Studio and Mini Museum of
Magic in Watertown, Massachusetts, will be the Society of
American Magicians 2015 Convention Guest of Honor.
When
the annual Society of American Magicians Convention comes
to Philadelphia, July 1-4 2015 at the Marriott Philadelphia
Downtown, Ray Goulet will be its Guest of Honor. The convention
expects to bring 700 Magicians and their families from around
the world to Philadelphia for contests, workshops and meetings.
Magicians will have opportunities to see and learn from
the best in their industry.
Ray
is an Honorary Member of the Society of American Magicians.,
and serves on their Magicians Hall of Fame Board of Directors,
is Chairman of the Society of American Magicians Honorary
Membership Committee, and is a member of the Milbourne Christopher
Foundation Awards Committee.
For
40 years Ray Goulet and his wife Ann, toured a traveling
show and performed in the country's finest theatres, the
largest outdoor venues imaginable and on 22 trans-Atlantic
voyages, including once for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
After retiring from performing, this Korean War Veteran
opened his Magic Art Studio in 1976.
Tucked
away in a storefront in Watertown, Massachusetts are some
of magic's greatest treasures. There is a straitjacket worn
by Harry Houdini and a costume worn by Bess. You will recognize
the props of Cardini, The Great Blackstone and the Le Grande
David shows. You will see the most complete collection of
P&L props imaginable but the greatest treasure inside
the "Mini Magic Museum" is its curator, Ray Goulet.
He quickly added onto this retail magic depot with a small
50 seat theater and mini-museum, all dedicated to conjuring.
One
can understand why this unique arrangement has created a
warm and inspirational gathering place for magicians. Not
only do New England magicians gravitate there, and bask
in the friendly presence of Ray Goulet, but prominent professionals,
advanced amateurs, and leading collectors seek it out.

7. The Magic Word Podcast #194 - Magic Theaters
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star
Comedians
have comedy clubs, but there is no "circuit" that
a magician can take that would have him performing in cities
from coast to coast. But there are a few magic theaters
dotting the country where a magician might work one or two
nights. Some of these clubs offer the opportunity for visiting
magicians to perform, but others feature just one act or
performer.
In
this week's podcast on The Magic Word, we talk with four
owners/operators of magic theaters and find out how and
why they decided to open their own theaters. Perhaps it
might inspire you to either look for your own venue to open
a magic theater or perhaps to contact them to see if you
can work there while you are in the area.
You
can see photos, watch a video, read the blog, get time stamps,
download or subscribe to the MP3 feed, or listen online
at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/theaters-of-magic
You can also find this week's podcast in the iTunes store

8. Remarkable Magic #367 - Nick Lewin
--------------------------------------------
Message by Nick Lewin (US)
Looking
forward to seeing you in person, fellow magicians!
I
am looking forward to some Magic events coming up later
on this year and I wanted to give our readers a heads up
in case you get a chance to come by and say hi. It is always
a pleasure when I get to meet up with magicians in person
who were previously just names.
I
will be appearing on October 28th at the Mystery Lounge
in Boston. The Mystery Lounge is one of my very favorite
haunts in the world. Located in the Harvard Square area
of Cambridge it is one of the countries longest running
magic rooms. For over 19 years the talented group of Boston
magicians who helm the Lounge have been presenting top-notch
magic shows to sold-out audiences. You can get full details
about this unique venue by visiting their website at http://www.mysterylounge.com
I
will be performing with the incredible Mike Bent and, rumor
has it, there may be a special appearance by the great Jon
Stetson. Knowing how the Lounge works I am guessing there
will be two more great acts rounding out the bill. If you
have never visited the Mystery Lounge then make a point
of stopping by if your travels leave you in the Boston area
on any Tuesday night. If you are around on Tuesday the 28th
I warmly invite you to come on by and join in the fun. The
show begins at 8.00pm and tickets cost only $12. That's
right TWELVE DOLLARS, what a deal!
On
the 29th October I will be taking my lecture to the Boston
area, for the Silent Mora-Ray Goulet IBM Ring #122. The
lecture kicks off at 8.00pm and takes place at the First
Church (Unitarian) in Watertown. The cost is a mere $5 for
Ring members and $10 for IBM members. It is going to be
a great lecture and I have some great surprises in store!
For more information contact Debbie O'Carroll at http://www.debbie@debbieocarroll.com
(978) 462-9954.
Looking
ahead into November I am excited to say I will be the featured
lecturer/performer at Ring 98's "Uncon" on November
7th and 8th in Cumberland Falls. Kentucky. What exactly
is an "Uncon?" Well, I can say it all when I tell
you that Uncon is an abbreviation of Unconventional. This
is not your typical magic convention and it is considered
by many to be one of the most enjoyable and informal meeting
spots for magi. To get full details about the convention
contact them at www.mail@ring198.com or check out their
Facebook page Unconventional Convention-Ring198.
I
am booking lectures throughout 2015 and hope to meet many
more of my readers and magical pen pals! If you have a group
that features magicians lecturing and would like to see
one of my lectures or Master Classes then let your club's
booker know it. They can contact me about dates and details
at www.nicklewin1@mac.com and I will send them a lecture
package.
Visit
my online store at www.lewinenterprises.com
I have exactly 8 of my Lemon Aid effects still available
for purchase before the price is raised and they become
a custom item. Check out the video on my website---it has
been getting raves from purchasers around the world.

9. Pay It Forward - #357 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)

http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
http://www.kpmagicproducts.com
It is an amazing thing to be a magician. To be a part of
the magical arts and to be allowed to perform an art that
has been around for decades and generations.
Too
many times we do not stop long enough to realize just how
lucky and fortunate we are to be a part of this. After all,
we are a part of a legacy. We get to call ourselves "magicians"
and that is not something to be taken lightly. By saying
we are a magician, we join the many that have walked before
us and have helped paved the way.
Magic
is a wonderful thing no matter at what stage you are at
or why you are in the field. Whether you are a beginner
or a pro or a collector or a performer, you get to be a
part of something truly special.
We
should never forget this. We should never forget that what
we do is a privilege and an honor.
Treat
magic right and show it the respect it deserves. This means
in what you perform, how you perform and how you treat your
fellow magicians. It also refers to how you treat your audiences
and the people you meet every day.
As
magicians we are able to do something special. Think about
this little fact. What else in the world has the ability
to openly communicate and share an emotional response even
if you do not speak the language of the other or know anything
about their culture? We can go anywhere in the world and
perform because magic really is a universal language. What
an amazing thing.
Remember
that magic does not have to be done only when you get paid
for it. It does not have to be performed only on a stage
or proper performance venue. You are a magician and that
gives you the amazing ability to simply make someone feel
good.
We
have the power and ability to share and change emotions
and emotional response in people. How amazing a feeling
to make a child smile who is crying. How awesome it is to
bring cheer to someone feeling down or having a bad day.
What a blessing it is to be able to make a difference and
empower someone through the usage of the art we love so
much.
I
never suggest forcing magic on anyone. However, having the
ability to perform at any time to make a difference is a
good thing.
If
you are in line at a store and you see a kid crying or sad,
ask the parent and then show the child a little something.
Make the child smile and feel good not because you have
to, because you know it is the right thing to do.
Each
one of us has the ability to use magic for the power of
good. To use our art we love to make a difference to someone
else. You cannot imagine how much of a difference we all
can make if we are simply willing to pay it forward.
***
I hope this information has given you an idea of what can
be done with working the festival market. If you would like
additional and detailed information on this topic, please
see my book/eBook at: http://kpmagicproducts.com/Festival_Magic.html
As always, I encourage you the readers to let me know your
thoughts. So if you have any thoughts on my articles or
suggestions or comments, please feel free to e-mail me directly
at magic4u02@aol.com. I would love to hear from you.

14. Halloween Magic Show
--------------------------------------------
Message by Bruce Glen (Australia)
Supernatural
Events at Eschol Park House, Sydney New South Wales, Australia
On Halloween !!!
Celebrating The Festival of Fisher's Ghost
There's magic afoot ... Bruce Glen, The Gentleman Magician
will cause 'Supernatural Events' to take place at Eschol
Park House, in celebration of the Festival of Fisher's Ghost,
on Halloween - Friday 31 October.
Bruce Glen has written one of his signature storytelling
magic shows for adults - entitled: 'Supernatural Events'
- especially for the festival.
"What better setting for mystery and wonder than amid
the stately elegance of Eschol Park House.
"Supernatural Events' will challenge you to unlock
your imagination and explore why intelligent, rational people
sometimes experience strange, other-worldly phenomena,"
Bruce Glen said.
Bruce's trademark performance style has become known as
Bespoke Magic and has seen him invited to the Edinburgh
Fringe and Adelaide Fringe festivals. He also performed
sold-out shows at the Edinburgh International Magic Festival
and at the famous London headquarters of The Magic Circle.
Bruce
is a member of The Magic Circle - the most exclusive magic
society in the world (with less than 1500 members worldwide).
Supernatural
Events is a truly intriguing one-man show - with not a single
top hat or rabbit involved! It features extraordinary magic
- together with "tall tales and true" inspired
by the charm and wonder of some of our greatest storytellers.
A legendary local con-man exposed; lost manuscripts from
Wonderland; the hidden power of our minds revealed; Houdini's
feats recreated; the impossible rendered possible
and will there be a visit from the spirit world?
7:00pm Friday, 31 October 2014

Eschol Park House, 14 Eschol Park Drive, Eschol Park, Sydney,

17. Broken Wand - Larry Weeks
--------------------------------------------
Message by George Schindler (US)
(September 24, 1919 - October 13, 2014)
Lester Fulton Weeks, best known as Larry Weeks was born
in Salem, Mass. and died at a VA hospital in New York at
age 96. His family moved to the Bronx, in New York in 1929.
When he was ten his father, Aaron, an importer who worked
for the Scandinavian Embassy, taught Larry a few magic tricks.
Larry performed at P.S. 46 and attended Bronx Boys High
School and Brooklyn College.
Larry
learned to juggle and earned the nickname "Speedsational"
for his amazing balance and rapidly paced act. He developed
an act called "Juggling For Fun" which toured
in New York, Boston and Montreal. In the late 1930's Larry
performed magic in New York City parks with Abe Hurwitz
and his Peter Pan Magic Club.
In
World War II, Larry found himself at Ft Monmouth where he
was seen by Irving Berlin and transferred to Fort Upton
in 1942. He became part of the "This Is The Army"
detachment as part of the traveling show which raised funds
for the war effort. The show appeared on Broadway and played
in 21 countries. Corporal Weeks, the baton twirling juggler
was now juggling knives forks, potato spuds and apples an
act built around the K.P. duties of the "Kitchen Police."
It should be noted that Weeks was the originator of apple
juggling in which he took a bite of the apple at each turn
until he was juggling only the core. In 1943 he repeated
his role in the Warner Brothers film of the same name.
Once
back in civilian life he both juggled and did magic, developing
a children's show market. He also found a way to make seamless
sponge balls and marketed them under the name of Spongecraft.
He booked other performers and in September of 1966 came
up with the idea of producing the first 'All Day Magic Convention"
held at the hotel Lexington in New York City. For a $3.00
registration fee the attendees got a movie, close-up magic,
a dealer demo, auction, raffle and a professional evening
show. He drew 200 magicians and it was so successful that
he scheduled another one three months later. He produced
more than sixty during his lifetime.
Weeks
was a friend to many of the famous magicians of our time
including Cardini, Roy and Connye Benson, Frakson, Paul
Rosini and in 1979 and 1980 produced two of the New York
"Salute to Magic" shows featuring his friend Richiardi.
Larry Weeks was a collector of vaudeville props, books,
juggling and magic props, escape tricks and films specializing
in Charlie Chaplin, WC Fields and Houdini. Larry always
attended the collectors meetings and was a regular attendee
at Sid Radner's Houdini Séances. He was very proud
and boasted that his final resting place was a plot at the
Machpelah Cemetery a few hundred yards away from the Houdini
family graves. He was interred there with a grave side Jewish
service and the Society of American Magicians "Broken
Wand" ceremony.
He
was also a longtime member of the IBM.
