What makes Tina and Mike so unique is that they use often when speaking about their magic, themselves, are both magicians with vastly different acts. More often than not and their life together. Couples in magic are hardly a unique they are found performing at different times, usually in different occurrence. There are many examples of husband and wife countries, sometimes in the same show, but never on stage togeth- teams in the art: unknown and well-known; past and present. But er. “Let’s face it; there can only be one point of focus in an act,” virtually all of these examples are a magician and his (or her) assis- says Mike. “We were already solo performers when we met.” tant: The few that are not, such as Servais LeRoy and Mercedes Mike Caveney decided early on he was going to be a magician. Talma, still performed together. And while Talma was a world- “It’s a lot easier to become a magician when you make that deci- P sion at nine years of age,” he says. “At every crossroad in my life, the road I chose was the one that kept me on track to become a magician.” As a boy he would ride his bicycle eight miles each way to Owen Magic Supreme. “I thought that all magic shops looked like Owen. I thought all magic tricks were made out of hand-rubbed mahogany or finished with multiple coats of lac- quer.” His relentless loitering eventually led to his working odd jobs in the shop for which he was paid in apparatus. One of his first tasks was as a metal polisher. “I’ll never forget the first time I tried to polish a zombie ball. I stood in front of the polishing wheel and Les Smith dumped a big pile of sawdust at my feet. I thought, ‘This must be some kind of weird hazing ritual.’ Then I got to work and pressed that ball into the polishing wheel. It shot out of my hands and buried itself in the sawdust. I sheepishly retrieved the undented ball from the sawdust to the sound of Les Smith and Carl Owen’s laughter.” His well-chronicled affiliation with the Long Beach Mystics began what is an ongoing process of development through the scrutiny of his peers, a process that he (and now Tina) still depends on today. The closest thing he had to a “real” job was a stint as a clerk in a drug store during college. “They asked me if I wanted to go through their training to become an assistant man- ager. I practically went screaming out the door.” After college, he thought about joining the fire department and even took their physical agility test. The next step, the oral examination, was on a day that he had a magic show scheduled. He tried to get them Everybody needs a gimmick. This was Mike’s hook. 42 Genii to change the day but he was told that if he wanted to be a fireman, he would attend the examination on the scheduled day at the scheduled time. “I chose the magic show that paid me $35 and never regret- ted it.” Upon turning 21, bolstered by his Mystics reputation, he was quickly booked to work at The Magic Castle and just as quickly became a regular performer there. The nightly grind of working the main room of The Magic Castle, which at the time was in the basement, proved to be a graduate course in performance magic. “I would be sitting in my lit- tle dressing room backstage, just steps away from center stage, watching guys like Shimada or Marvyn Roy performing. You can learn a lot about magic watching pros like that doing four shows a night.” The daughter of a geologist employed by a U.S. oil company, Tina Lenert spent her first 12 years in Caracas, Venezuela. Even as a small child she felt the need to express herself in some artistic manner, as long as it didn’t involve her speaking. “I was quiet and extremely shy, but I was always searching for an out- let; a performing art that would let me show what I was feeling,” she says. “I thought I wanted to be a dancer; I wanted to play the harp. But I didn’t get around to studying either one until much later in life.” She and her family returned to the United States and settled in Malibu, California. She learned to play the electric guitar and that led to her being part of an all-girl rock band. This lasted less than a year, but the band’s performance at the high school talent show gave her a taste of being onstage. “I was petri- fied but I loved it!” Then she saw a performance of classical guitar, which changed her focus and she began studying in earnest. However, upon finishing high school she decided to pursue a reliable career, so she attended secretarial school. She had been working at a mortgage company for less than a year when it hit her: “I walked into the ladies room and looked in the mirror. I was 19 years old, my hair was up and I was wearing a business suit and I asked myself, ‘Is this going to be me for the next 30 years? I don’t think so.’” She went to the personnel office and gave her two-weeks notice. Fortunately her par- ents agreed to help, ensuring that she could study and practice the guitar fulltime. She was attending Los Angeles City College when her life suddenly changed. “I went to the Renaissance Faire and saw Robert Shields (of Shields and Yarnell fame) per- forming mime. I was transfixed. I had no idea why, but I knew that’s what I had to do.” She continued Photo by Ron Charles her guitar studies at California State University at Two years after seeing Robert Shields, Tina was a mime Northridge, but less enthusiastically.

    Magic Moments Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin (1805-1871) was the most famous of all French magicians, for he is considered the world over as the father of modern conjuring. Jean’s père sent his eleven-year-old son up the Loire to the University of Orléans (not to be confused with UNO) to prepare for a career as a lawyer. But his son wanted to become a watchmaker like his dad, and these skills trained him in all things mechanical. The first magician to use electricity, Houdin was sent to Algeria in 1856 by the French government to combat the influence of the dervishes by duplicating their feats - a real whirlwind tour. His books helped explain the art of magic to countless aficionados: his autobiography (1857), Confidences d’un prestidigitateur (1859), and Les Secrets de la prestidigitation et de la magie (1868). One such devotee was arguably the most renowned illusionist and escape artist in history. Born in Hungary in 1874 as Erich Weiss, he adopted the name Harry Houdini as a teenager after having read Houdin’s autobiography. Performing twenty shows a day, the young wizard was soon taking home twelve dollars a week. Before long he was an international success, and he would bring this magic moxie to the Crescent City on more than one occasion. It was pouring rain that day in downtown New Orleans, November 17, 1907, when a crowd of nearly 10,000 people gathered along the wharves near the Canal Street ferry landing to witness Houdini triple- manacled for a death-defying plunge into the Mississippi River.

  • Pressive Cast of Thinkers and Performers
    Table of Contents Long Synopsis Short Synopsis Michael Caplan Biography Key Production Personnel Filmography Credit List Magicians & Scholars Cover design by Lara Marsh, Illustration by Michael Pajon A Magical Vision /Long Synopsis ______________________________________________________ A Magical Vision spotlights Eugene Burger, a far-sighted philosopher and magician who is considered one of the great teachers of the magical arts. Eugene has spent twenty-five years speaking to magicians, academics, and the general public about the experience of magic. Advocating a return to magic’s shamanistic, healing traditions, Eugene’s “magic tricks” seek to evoke feelings of awe and transcendence, and surpass the Las Vegas-style entertainment so many of us visualize when we think of magicians. Mentors and colleagues have emerged throughout Eugene’s globe-trotting career. Among them is Jeff McBride, a recognized innovator of contemporary magic, and Max Maven, a one-man-show who performs a unique brand of “mind magic” to audiences worldwide. Lawrence Hass created the world’s first magic program in a liberal arts setting, where his seminar has attracted an impressive cast of thinkers and performers. The film, however, is Eugene’s journey. It began in 1940s Chicago, a city already renowned as the center of classic magic performance. Yale Divinity School followed, leading Eugene to the world of Asian mysticism. From there came the creation of Hauntings, a tribute to the sprit theatre of the 19th century, and the gore of the Bizarre Magick movement. Today Eugene’s performances and lectures draw inspiration from the mythology of India to the Buddhism of magical theory. On this stage, the magicians and thinkers open doors to an astounding world, a world that we rarely take time to see.

    1 Eugene Burger (1939-2017) Photo: Michael Caplan A Celebration of Life and Legacy by Lawrence Hass, Ph.D. August 19, 2017 (This obituary was written at the request of Eugene Burger’s Estate. A shortened version of it appeared in Genii: The International Conjurors’ Magazine, October 2017, pages 79-86.) “Be an example to the world, ever true and unwavering. Then return to the infinite.” —Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching, 28 How can I say goodbye to my dear friend Eugene Burger? How can we say goodbye to him? Eugene was beloved by nearly every magician in the world, and the outpouring of love, appreciation, and sadness since his death in Chicago on August 8, 2017, has been astonishing. The magic world grieves because we have lost a giant in our field, a genuine master: a supremely gifted performer, writer, philosopher, and teacher of magic. But we have lost something more: an extremely rare soul who inspired us to join him in elevating the art of magic. 2 There are not enough words for this remarkable man—will never be enough words. Eugene is, as he always said about his beloved art, inexhaustible. Yet the news of his death has brought, from every corner of the world, testimonies, eulogies, songs of praise, cries of lamentation, performances in his honor, expressions of love, photos, videos, and remembrances. All of it widens our perspective on the man; it has been beautiful and deeply moving. Even so, I have been asked by Eugene’s executors to write his obituary, a statement of his history, and I am deeply honored to do so.

  • As We Kicked Off the New Millennium, Readers of This
    s we kicked off the new Amillennium, readers of this magazine cast their ballots to elect the ten most influential magicians of the 20th century. Although there were some sur- prises, few could argue with the top two — Harry Houdini and Dai Vernon. While scores of books have been written about Houdini, David Ben has spent the past five years prepar- ing the first detailed biography of Dai Vernon.

  • LISA MENNA a Superstition by Chloe Olewitz PHOTO by JACQUE
    LISA MENNA a Superstition By Chloe Olewitz PHOTO BY JACQUE MENNA Lisa, age 17, performing for Muhammad Ali at the 1982 Desert Magic Seminar Lisa Menna was one of the last to compete at the Las Vegas Desert Magic Seminar’s open close- up session in 1982, when she was 17 years old. It was a long day, and she remembers how the checked-out audience had perked up at the sight of a young woman in a white, form-fitting, knit dress. Waiting in the wings before her set, Menna noticed a celebrity sitting in the front row that no one had called on yet. She decided to go for it, and walked straight toward him to ask, “Could you please come help me?” Whatever attention she had gotten for being a gender anomaly in the 20- person close-up competition was dwarfed by the fact that the girl had just picked Muhammad Ali. When he joined her on stage, Menna doubled down on her carefree clown character. “Hi! My name’s Lisa! What’s your name?” She had no idea that her feigned innocence would get such a big reaction. “My name’s Joe,” Ali responded. “Joe Frazier.” More laughter. “Gosh Joe, you sure have big hands,” Menna said. The room erupted. Menna was born in Connecticut in 1964. When she was four years old, her family relocated to St. Louis, where she encountered magical clown Steve “Ickle Pickle” Bender at her older brother’s birthday party. When she was seven, Menna received her first magic set as a gift from her mother, who during her own youth had mailed in 57 Popsicle wrappers collected over the course of a single summer in exchange for a set of multiplying billiard balls.
