6. The Magic Word Podcast - John Archer
--------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

John Archer is a very funny guy and he can play a mean ukulele, too. During the recent T.A.O.M. convention here in Houston, Texas, John was one of the featured lecturers and performers. He stopped by my home on Thursday night for Magic and Martinis. After he had one (or maybe two) he agreed to play a few "ditties" on the ukulele.

The next evening before the convention began, we sat down in his hotel room for a proper chat as we talked about comedy, his work touring with comedian Tim Vine in the U.K., problems with performing "politically correct" humor today, and much more. The first part of this week's podcast features his ukulele playing that we recorded the previous night.

You can watch a video of John Archer (and also a separate video of Tim Vine), see some candid photos, listen to some product reviews, hear the podcast online, and download the MP3 file at: https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/452-john-archer

And although it is not mentioned in this week's podcast, be sure to check out the new Indiegogo.com campaign by Neil McNally to raise funds for a new documentary about Doug Henning. You can watch a video and learn more about it at: https://bit.ly/2zqM9eY Be sure to check it out and spread the word about this worthwhile project.

7. Lies All the Way - John Carey #19
--------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
https://carey-scene.com/jc-main

This piece was inspired by David Williamson's fantastic Liars Poker on his Magic Farm DVD. I wanted something within my skill set that featured the multiple changes of cards under spectator's hands.

There is a simple three card set-up on top of the deck: Ace of Clubs, followed by the Four of Hearts and then the Seven of Spades third from the top.

False shuffle retaining this set up on top and then swing cut about half the deck into the left hand and as you complete the cut, get a left little-finger break above your force cards. Drop the left hand casually to the side as you introduce the effect and the premise of lies and tells and all that jazz.

Dribble force to your break and hand the Ace to a spectator on your left, the four to someone on their right and finally the seven to someone even further to the right. Discard the deck.

Invite each person to peek at his or her cards and remember them. Then have one of the groups gather up all three cards and mix them as you look away.

Turn back around and take back the cards as you urge your helpers to form an image of their cards in their minds.

With the faces towards you, feign concentration as you try to pick up on any tells the people may be exhibiting. Casually rearrange the cards into their original A, 4,7 order from the top if they are not already in that order.

"They say the inflections in people's voices can often give their true thoughts away. I will show and call out each of the cards to you guys. When I ask you if this is your card, just say yes. I will try to discern who is telling the truth and who is lying."

Suiting actions to words, execute a double turnover, showing the four of Hearts. Ask each person individually if that is their card? They are all to say yes of course. Pause a beat and then turn the double card back down and put the switched in Ace of Clubs under the first spectator's hand.
Hold the packet face-down at the right long edge and execute a fingertip frustration count, raising the face towards the other two people, showing the seven of Spades and then turning the hand palm up and dragging off the top card into the left hand. Ask each person the question and they both are to say yes like before. After a bit of deliberation put the switched in four of Hearts under the second helper's hand.

Tilt the face of the final card towards you and very casually miscall it as the Ace of Clubs and get your third spectator to cover it with a hand. Act very confident about your decisions and then ask each person if you got their card, right? It's a very funny moment when they all say no!
"Ah, so much for inflections, let's use magic." Make a magical gesture over their hands and have each person in turn call their selections out. Then, one by one, have each card turned over to conclude with a pretty strong triple change into their chosen cards.

Kudos to Mr Williamson for the inspiration.

8. Roadblocks To Creativity - #503 - Kyle Peron
--------------------------------------------
Message by Kyle Peron (US)

I think the beauty of being a magician is the ability to simply create. I am also an artist, so this part of what we do fascinates me. We can take nothing and create something amazing from it. We have the ability to produce a creative and entertaining experience. The problem most magicians have with being creative is the inability to think freely and openly about any and all possibilities. When we brainstorm ideas for acts or routines, we tend to place roadblocks that hinder us from ever really getting anywhere.

The worst enemy to creativity is us. What happens is that we must teach our minds to be open to thinking. Each and every one of you reading this right now has the ability to be as creative as you want to be. The problem is that as we think of wonderful ideas, we stop going down the road because thoughts enter our mind that inhibit us.

I always say that when being creative, money is no factor. Now of course it will be eventually, but I am making a simple point here. Creativity alone does not cost anything. If there is no cost to creative thought, why hinder yourself in the first place.

I also always say that when thinking of ideas, never limit yourself by saying, "how am I going to do this or afford this." As soon you state this, your hindering creativity. Creativity does not need road blocks that we seem to always place on ourselves.

Creativity needs free reign to grow and prosper. If we allow ourselves to think freely, we can come up with amazingly fresh ideas that we would never have thought of before.

When one stops to think "How am I going to accomplish this" or "How can I afford this," then what happens is the mind puts up these road blocks. Creativity comes to a grinding halt. All those great ideas inside your head never come about because we are stopping ourselves before we even get started.

When I start to brainstorm about ideas for a new routine, I try and place myself first into a spot with little distractions. I train my mind to simply think. In creative thought there are no wrong answers. There are only possibilities to be discovered. So, allow these ideas to enter your head freely. Find a method for recording these ideas. This can be pen and paper, a computer or a recording device. Allow these ideas to stream from you.

Now do not get bothered by the notion that these ideas may not mean anything or may not be complete. That is simply natural. It happens. Just record them. Some of the best ideas in magic came from incomplete segments of an idea. However, these ideas would never have been recorded if one stopped themselves simply because the thought did not make sense.

So, as you are thinking creatively understand that there are no rules to hold you down. There are no roadblocks on the road to creative thought. The only roadblocks are ones we place ourselves. So, learn to be open with any and all ideas no matter how bizarre they may be. Do not hinder your creativity by wondering how something will be done or the cost associated with it. Do not hinder yourself by not recording an idea simply because it does not make full sense to you at that moment. Simply let your mind be open to any idea. When you start to do this, you will be amazed at what comes about.

If you are so hung up on one idea, you will often times miss the 100 other ideas your mind wants to create for you. Do not allow these wonderful ideas to be lost. So, do not worry so much about price or how it can be built. There is always a way to make something work. That is to be figured out after you have the creative idea. Never hinder thinking freely just because of the worry about cost or how something will be created.

Creativity is our most prized skill that we simply take for granted and never use enough of. Learn to think creatively and open the mind to the ideas that we all have there. I guarantee your magic will become more unique and your audiences will thank you for it.

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 KyleKellyMagic@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.

9. New Book From Chris Wardle And James Ward
--------------------------------------------
Message by Chris Wardle

Creating The Impossible

Methods for Magic
A new book by Chris Wardle and James Ward - both award-winning members of The Magic Circle, with a long list of credits devising magic for books, magazines, television, radio and the stage.

In this new book they share their simple and practical methodologies, whilst using examples of their own creations to illustrate their points. Inside you will explore workable, practical ways to devise your own magic and methods for making effects 'your own' so as to be able to offer something unique to your audiences.

Included are a brand new take on 'The Jigsaw Card' and a Date Prediction with a kicker finish by Chris and an ingenious name matching idea and a memory-cheating effect 'Eye Witness' from James, to name but a few.

This book will inspire you and set you on the right path for 'Creating the Impossible'.

"'Creating the Impossible' is that rare thing, an original and practical handbook for magicians...Chris Wardle and James Ward have taught themselves to be inventive, resourceful and sharp. In short, they are the right kind of expert. They are creative. They are ingenious. Read this book carefully and I believe their ingenuity will start to rub off on you." From the Foreword by Geoffrey Durham.

"Chris and James have done a wonderful job with this book which I don't think has existed before. Useful for both creators and those who are new to creating magic, this book will inspire and educate the reader on the creative process. I feel all magicians should read this book. I love it!"
Angelo Carbone

'Both Chris and James have the ability to take simple ideas and, by the addition of layers of subtlety and ingeniously-devised presentations, build them into entertaining mysteries, many of which have found their way into the repertoires of leading professional magicians. This is because they instinctively understand what appeals to the public.' Walt Lees, editor of Repro Magic's magazine 'The Magician' (formerly Club 71), 'Mystery Magazine' and 'Abracadabra', the world's longest running weekly magic magazine.

11. MINDvention October 2018
--------------------------------------------
Message by Danny Archer (US)

This year is the 15th edition of the biggest and best mentalism convention in America ... MINDvention. It will take place from October 21st to the 23rd in Las Vegas, NV with a workshop from Kennedy as an extra charge event on the 24th. MINDvention gathers an international crowd of working mentalists, enthusiasts, and people who are just starting to explore this most fascinating topic.

The talent lineup so far includes the aforementioned Kennedy, who is presenting again for his second time. His high energy style and polished presentations are one of the reasons he is one of the busiest performers in the UK.

Timon Krause is one of the Netherland's leading mentalists. With a background in Philosophy and Theater he has been lecturing on the philosophy of mentalism and performance theory all around the world.

Ian Rowland, also from the UK, has performed and lectured four times at the Blackpool Convention, six times at 'MAGIC LIVE!' in Las Vegas and three times at the Magic Circle. His Penguin Magic lecture is one of the most successful mentalism lectures ever, with over seventy 5-star ratings.

From America we have the Evasons presenting their incredible two-person mentalism act. The Evasons have been honored with some of the top awards in their field. They are the first recipients of "The Mentalism Award" from the Milbourne Christopher Foundation. This will be the first two-person act to present at MINDvention, and we look forward to an incredible show from these two hard working pros.

Harrison Greenbaum not only does devastating mentalism, he will also make you laugh out loud as he performs. An incredibly engaging performer who does more than 600 shows a year. That means he's doesn't just have a ton of experience, but that he's also very, very tired. His lecture will teach you techniques to create your own original material.

Gil Eagles is a legend in the mentalism world and his performance last year of his Q&A act was incredible and earned him a well-deserved standing ovation. Gil will be back this year with an all new presentation sharing his thoughts, ideas and experiences from a man who spent a lifetime on the platform.

Ken Weber, who is an influential member of the mentalism community and he wrote one of the most respected books on performance techniques will be the subject of a sit-down interview conducted by another accomplished performer Eric Samuels. This should be a wonderful and insightful interview from these two knowledgeable mentalists.

David Gerard is a mentalist from San Francisco, CA. His modern approach to the art is showcased at his weekly theater show as well as numerous private and corporate engagements nationwide. His talk at MINDvention 2016 garnered acclaim from hobbyists and pros alike, and we're happy to have him back this year for a rapid-fire lecture full of tips and tricks.
