--------------------------------------------
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.

6. Trouble with Kid's Names - #417 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)
magic4u02@aol.com
http://www.facebook.com/perondesign
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.

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

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?
