5. The Magic Word Podcast - David Sandy Produces
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells (USA)

David Sandy is a Past International President of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. He was also the youngest President since the founder, Len Vintus. But David is also well known for his talents as a producer and marketing wizard. With a background in advertising (he owned and operated his own advertising agency), he has produced such shows as Darren Romeo plus Tom Mullica's Tribute Show to Red Skelton among others.

Aside from producing successful stage shows, David has also produced many conventions, workshops and the Magic Cruise. As to this latter credit, David talks on this week's podcast about the ill-fated Magic Cruise (more aptly named the "Magic Drift") which had to be towed back to port. His latest production is the Workshop Revival which is coming up in a few weeks that will feature a host of magical celebrities. Also on this podcast, David talks extensively about his mentor and legendary magician, Faucett Ross.

You can watch a couple videos, read the blog, see some photos, listen to the podcast and download the MP3 file at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/323-david-sandy-produces Of course you can download the podcast through iTunes, Stitcher, Tunein, and other platforms including your favorite podcatcher.

6. Trouble with Kid's Names - #417 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com

http://www.kpmagicproducts.com

Here is an interesting scenario that may sound all too familiar to a lot of you. You are at an event and performing a routine that utilizes a child. The child comes up to a nice applause and you proceed to ask the child his or her name. The name that comes out from the child is one in which Klingon makes more sense. You ask the child again and you state the name wrong. This then provokes the child to become the Hulk and scream his name at the threshold of pain. You then resort to trying not to mention the child's name at all by simply dancing around it.

Sound familiar? I think we all have experienced this before. This is what I refer to as the "Trouble with Kid's Names" syndrome. There are many reasons why this may happen. It could be that the child is speaking too softly, not pronouncing the word correctly, you are having a hard time hearing the child or the fact that the name is just not common. As
I get older, I have started to realize that the names of Mike, Chris and James have become boring and new names like Latoya and Iona have become the popular trend.

Because I am a deaf entertainer, I have problems hearing the kid's names and any helper that comes up on stage to assist. I read lips very well and have ever since a young child. However, reading kid's lips is harder because they do not pronounce the words as well as they should. Anyways, I have always had problems hearing kid's names when they come up to help. Because of this problem I was faced with, it allowed me to start coming up with creative solutions to solve it.

The solution...."Hello My name is" stickers. Sounds silly but it works wonderfully. Before the show starts I have them with me and I have the parents and the children put them on. In fact when I get there, I often give them to the client to hand out as kids come in.

I tell the client that it is an easy way for the kids to all get to know who each other and also so the ones who do not know, do not feel left out. It also is a great way for the adults to get to know each other as well. Often times the adults are meeting each other for the first time.
I am also honest with them in that it makes it easier for me to select my helpers without mispronouncing a name.

They usually are more than pleased with this approach and sometimes wonder why they did not think of it themselves. They always help me out with it and I never have any problems. It then becomes super easy to spot kids in the audience. I can then call and select the child to come up by their name on their name tag. Kids love hearing their name called.

It can also play to a larger school or venue as well. Here is how you do it. You send the school a promotional show package a week or so ahead of time. This gets passed out to the teachers. Inside are the stickers. They are told to pass them out to their students before the show. It makes it easier.

Now if you really want to have fun with it, and want the kids to really WANT to wear them, place a number on each one. Then you can use it as a raffle at the show for a magic kit or something of value or importance.

Now if you are a savvy marketer, you can create your own customized name stickers. These can be printed easily and cheaply at many online digital printers. On these can have your website or contact information and your name? Now it becomes something that everyone is wearing that brands you at all times. People cannot help but look at it.

This becomes a very easy solution to a problem I was having due to my handicap. However, this solution can also help anyone out. Instead of trying to guess what the name is, you can handle it in such a way that adds both value to your show and also value to the client as well. I hope it helps you and that it can be a possible solution that elevates your magic.

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.

7. 25th New England Gathering of the Mag
--------------------------------------------
Message by Joe Cabral

Joe Cabral Presents…
The ICBM 25nd Annual New England Gathering of the Magi
November 10, 11, 12, 2016
Honoring: Dirk Losander

Lectures by: Losander - Tom Crecilius - Todd Robbins - and Meir Yedid
Friday and Saturday evening shows.
Works in Progress show.
Closeup Magic show.
Special Midnite offering: William Warlock's Appointment with Fear!
Dealers Room
AND lots of time to schmooze with your fellow magi in the hospitality suite that closes only when the last person leaves.

This is one of the best conventions you'll attend. The blend of bizarre and mainstream magic make for one of the most creative magical performances.

Don't be afraid that this started as a bizarre magick convention and is still rooted in bizarre magick. Many have said that they don't have the "personality" to pull off bizarre magick. Well, Geoff Williams, Shawn Farquhar, Oscar Munoz and many others have attended, put their creativity hats on and performed something special.

The Gathering is like family. Once you attend, you'll wonder what took you so long. So, click on the link, and register today. It could be a weekend that changes your magic forever.

12. Magazines From My Collection
--------------------------------------------
Message by Stephen Fernandes

Collectors of a certain age will recall the halcyon days of yore when lists were issued by Daily, Vander Linden, Carrandi, Greget, O'Dowd and more ... providing pages and pages of individual magazines for sale. By Volume and Number. One by bloody one. Today, it seems like a relic of the past.

I have created such a list with some of the magazines from my collection which I am offering the community. Take a look and see if anything interests you. Or have the days of periodical "Want Lists" perhaps vanished?
