2. 'Now You See Me 3' is already happening
--------------------------------------------
'Now You See Me 3' is already in the works. Your eyes are not deceiving you. This is not a sleight of hand or an illusion. This is happening, people, and we're still more than a year away before the second film hits theaters. This means that the semi-decent magician-heist film is now becoming a trilogy.

As reported by Variety, the news of Now You See Me 3 was announced during a Lionsgate company conference call to discuss quarterly earnings with analysts. CEO Jon Feltheimer stated that the studio has already begun early work on the third installment, as they expect Now You See Me 2 to pull in a hefty amount of box office dough.

The first film debuted to mixed reviews and currently stands at 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, which, if you remember how high school grades work, means it failed. However, it made more than $351 million worldwide with a production budget of $75 million, which was all the ammunition the studio needed to sign off on a sequel.

The story centered on a band of criminal magicians known as The Four Horsemen, played by Jesse Eisenberg (Batman v Superman), Woody Harrelson (The Hunger Games), Isla Fisher (The Great Gatsby) and Dave Franco (Neighbors). With each astounding performance they would pull off another heist, stealing massive amounts of money from either a bank or a particularly wealthy individual. A pair of detectives, played by Mark Ruffalo (Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Melanie Laurent (Enemy) were hot on their trail. Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen the first film, but it all ended with The Four Horsemen pulling off their biggest stunt yet and discovering that Ruffalo's Dylan Rhodes was the one secretly leading them down a bread crumb trail to become members of an ancient order of magicians.

Now You See Me 2, officially called Now You See Me: The Second Act, will see the Horsemen resurface to come face to face with a new enemy who wants them to pull off their most dangerous heist to date. Director Jon M. Chu recently wrapped production on the film for a June 10, 2016 theatrical release. Most of the principal cast members are returning for the sequel, including Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine. However, Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex) will replace Fisher, and Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, has joined the fray.

As Feltheimer said during the conference call, Lionsgate believes See Me 2 one will top the first film's box office numbers, hence such early motions getting Now You See Me 3 off the ground. It's still mind-blowing that an average and dare I say semi-forgettable film such as this could become such an investment for the studio, but it doesn't take much nowadays to warrant sequels -- or in this case a trilogy.

6. Mandrake the Magician
--------------------------------------------
Article forwarded on by Peter Phillips

Sacha Baron Cohen to star in "Mandrake The Magician" Film

The Tracking Board has learned that Sacha Baron Cohen will star in Warner Bros. live-action adaptation of the classic comic strip character "Mandrake the Magician." TCB's unnamed sources indicate that the film is expected to update the character, who debuted in 1934, for modern audiences. Baron Cohen will play Mandrake, an illusionist and escape artist that is recruited by the United States government for a top secret mission.

Etan Cohen (writer/director "Get Hard") will direct the film from a script by David Peoples, Janet Peoples and Tom Wheeler. Charles Roven and Andy Horowitz will produce the film, while Alan Glazer and Rocky Shepard will serve as EPs. Cate Adams and Jesse Ehrman will oversee for Warner Bros.

Mandrake was created by Lee Falk, just before he created fellow news strip hero the Phantom. Phil Davis came aboard as artist and illustrated Falk's scripts early in Mandrake's run. The character, who predates Superman by four years, is sometimes called the first superhero thanks to his abilities and globetrotting adventures.

"Mandrake the Magician" has been in development since 2007, with a number of directors (including Mimi Leder) and actors (Hayden Christensen and Jonathan Rhys Meyers among them) attached to the project. "Mandrake" was adapted into a 12-part serial in 1939, and also had a TV movie in 1979. The character has recently appeared in comics published by Dynamite Entertainment, where he crossed over with other King Features heroes.

7. The Road Less Traveled - #403 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron

http://www.kpmagicproducts.com

It was a recent drive to a magic convention that got me thinking of this topic. I realized just how much driving has changed over the years. Before the dawn of GPS, I would often take a map with me and take the most common route. Highways and roads traveled by many, became the "safe" way to go. As I traveled with my GPS to the convention, I realized how much it has made me take roads less traveled before.

By listening to my GPS I was able to take roads I would not have normally ventured down. But as I traveled down these old country roads, my mind opened up and my eyes were seeing wonderful things I have not seen before. I was enjoying the experience because I was not seeing the same old thing. Magic can and should be very much like this trip I took.

I realize just how often magicians in general take the safe passage or the safe road when venturing down any path with their magic. Whether it is creating a new routine for a show or learning a new act, we tend to often travel down the same paths others before us have taken. I think we do this because 1) it is all we know, and 2) it is a much safer way to go. We feel safe and secure knowing others have blazed the path before us.

But is this the right thing to do? Is this allowing us to grow in the art of magic? I would have to say no. I think it hinders a person's creative growth. By traveling down the same path as other magicians, you will be seeing what they see and doing what they do. In many ways it is a dangerous way of developing routines that really are not true to who you are.

We each are unique and we each have our own character and personalities on stage. Many of us try and do routines based on what we have seen along this road that we travel on. If we are all traveling the same road, then we cannot help but to develop similar styles or routines that are the same as others. But what happens is that you are 1) not finding yourself or staying true to yourself as a performer and, 2) you are not pushing yourself enough to grow creatively.

Think about it this way. If you take a trip and take a road that many have not taken before, don't you start to become more aware? All of a sudden you are forced to see things in a new way. You are forced to be more alert and to see things that you may not have seen before. A heavily traveled road makes us blind but a less traveled road makes us aware.

Do not fear to venture on another road or another path with your magic. Do not fear going down a different avenue with a routine or a new magical idea. It may be frightening at first because you have no idea where it may lead, but that is and can be the beauty of it all. Beauty is allowing yourself to take these trips to see what comes of it. In many cases, by doing so, you are experiencing great things and your creativity can not help but to be heightened.

Some of the most creative minds in our art come from those who you realize think differently than the norm. Instead of traveling down the same roads, they chose to go a different direction. Instead of taking the easy and fast highway, they chose to take the back country road. Now sure it may take them longer to get there, but guaranteed they see more than we do and they learn a lot more as well. The end result is awareness and creative thought.

Try this sometime soon. It really does work and helps you to see exactly what I am referring to. I call it a creativity road trip. If you have a GPS this is even better. However, a good map will also do you just fine. Pick a place you have never been to. Plug that into your GPS and just start to drive. It sounds silly or maybe even a bit scary, but trust me here.

The idea is that you are going to a place you have never been to or experienced before. You are getting there often times via roads you have not traveled on before. Because of this new destination, you are forcing your mind and your body to be more aware and more alert.

As you drive start to notice the things around you. Take in the sites and the scenery. Feel free to stop at the shops along the way. Enjoy and notice how your mind is becoming more alert and aware of new things it is seeing. It has to because it is being bombarded with new sensory impressions. This is what total creativity is about.

A trip like this opens your mind because it forces you to. But it also allows you start appreciating taking roads less traveled. The next time you have a choice of taking your magic down a road that others have gone on, say no. Instead take a different path. I am sure the trip you take will be much more rewarding.

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.

8. SNAP Will Be Coming Edinburgh Fringe Festival
--------------------------------------------
Message by Eric Eswin

Korean artists have wonderfully succeeded in fusing Magic with other performing arts like Dance, Acting, Mime and Music in a professionally and artistically choreographed, composed and directed show, SNAP.

SNAP will take part in the coming Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world's largest art festival (4-29 August 2016)

Read more in the following words from Grue Jarm Productions from Korea:

SNAP is a new Enchantment with 8 of the World Greatest illusion artists.

SNAP is a contemporary mystery and a magical performance, produced by Grue Jarm Productions from Korea.

SNAP brings a fantasy experience which has never been seen before in the history of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

BBC "(A hotbed of talented new magicians"), ITV, The New York Times ("Marvellous dexterity") and the Oriental Daily ("The most impressive scene across all genres"), all gave rave reviews to the artists and the directors of SNAP.

SNAP begins with tricksters entering a sealed door that transcends all of space and time.
They meet a boy trapped in a world of innocence, a Scarlet Witch, an Alchemist, a Digital Time Traveler, a Dreamer, a Trickster and many more, influencing their lives and planting small seeds of change.

SNAP is the performance of fantasy art, creating an extremely realistic atmosphere of wonder and reflecting a dreamlike surreal world.

Inventive ideas, ingenious stage facilities, effective use of light and dark, combine illusion, mime, black art, white art, comedy, dance and much more of the performing arts.

Grue Jarm Productions is a Korean partnership aimed at the development and distribution of world-class cultural art contents. Through various international exchanges and direct domestic and international networks it is dedicated to promote the globalization of the Korean Cultural Arts.

10. "Magic For Fort Mac" Benefit
--------------------------------------------
Message by John Kaplan (Canada)

Here's a follow up on the recent "Magic for Fort Mac" benefit that I organized and featured the outstanding talents of 9 stage magicians/illusionists along with a half-dozen close-up magicians ...

A Great Success!!!

That's the best description of our magic for fort mac benefit that took place this past Monday, May 16th.

Over 700 people attended the performance, and by all accounts were thoroughly entertained by the stellar stage and close-up magicians that volunteered their time and talent to pull this amazing effort off.

Other than theatre staffing, everything was donated. Presto Print of Richmond provided the posters, flyers and signage. The Tri-Cities Rotaract youth delivered flyers and put up posters in New Westminster all weekend. The Burnaby Now donated a half-page to advertise the event. The performers gave freely and willingly of their time and talent, a number of businesses contributed items to the silent auction. Several associations helped spread the word. The New Westminster Fire & Rescue Services members collected an additional $1,774 at the event through their "Fill the Boot" campaign. Numerous friends and relatives pitched in to sell tickets, collect silent auction contributions and promote the event.

The dust is still settling. Once the remaining silent auction bid money is collected, we will be handing over $8,154.02 to the Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal … which will be matched by the federal government, meaning the Magic For Fort Mac benefit raised $16,308.04 to help the families of Fort McMurray that have been devastated by the tragic wildfire that swept through their community on May 3rd (and continues to burn on as of May 19th).

A big thank you to everybody that helped make MAGIC happen through this event.

11. Alexanderia the Great Featured In The June Linking Ring
--------------------------------------------
Message by Dennis Schick (US)

So what name do you take when you're one of the few women escape artists in the world? How about "Alexanderia the Great? Read about how and why Donna Purnell took up escapes, got her name, and is in high demand as an entertainer. Read about her and so much more in the June issue of the I.B.M.'s The Linking Ring.

The I.B.M. Annual Convention July 2-5 in San Antonio, Texas, will feature a new innovation -- the Triple Treat. This is the name given to three separate one-man shows which will be repeated three times over three days in order that everyone will have a chance to see all three. The three magicians are Brian Gillis, Richard Turner, and Paul Vigil. This is just one more reason to register for and attend the best magic convention around.

"The Ten-Second Helper" is a short article about a new approach to using helpers in a kid-show. And Max Sutch tells us "The Day Fred Astaire Hooked Me on Magic." Simone Marron brings us a first-hand report on "A Star-Studded Night at the Academy of Magical Arts Awards."

The Linking Ring columnists came through again in June. Kent Cummins tells us how to "Sell Your Act With Letters" in his Marketing Magic column. Adele Friel Rhindress devotes her Magical Moments column to her friendship with Associate Editor Jason Goldberg, which began at a magic convention -- a major reason to attend such events. Bev Bergeron asks (and answers) the question "What Makes Good Comedy?" in his column Cutting Up Jackpots. Skip Way continues to tell us about Polishing The Rings, asking "Print or Digital?"

Mike Powers turns over his The Card Corner to old friend and pro Paul Lelekis, who brings us "Beats All Poker Scam." Andrew Woo explains his "Splitting the Dinner Bill in Simple Diversions. In The Expert At The Tech Table, Jeff Prace invited Mathieu Bich to explain his "iDuplicate," and Chris Beason gives us "Optical Zoom" in his Situationally Yours column. In his Auto-Magic column, Michael M Breggar presents "Not Just Another Book Test."

Ralph Felder wrote this issue's One Man Parade, describes for us six effects, complete with terrific illustrations by Tony Dunn.

This month's Hocus In Focus is where readers find reviews of new magic effects on the market. There are nine such new products in June, including books, DVDs and tricks. Thanks to all our reviewers for their time and expertise.

The June Broken Wand brings tributes to twelve magicians. In addition, there is a separate In Memoriam to long-time columnist for this magazine, Peter Marucci, written by Joan Caesar.

The Linking Ring is a member benefit of membership in the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the largest organization of the magical arts in the world. For more information, go to www.magician.org
