Ik lieg de waarheid. De beste Kronkels Simon Carmiggelt Editie Sylvia Witteman bron Simon Carmiggelt, Ik lieg de waarheid. De beste Kronkels (ed. Sylvia Witteman). De Arbeiderspers, Amsterdam / Antwerpen 2007 (2de druk) Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/carm002ikli02_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. 9 Woord vooraf Bij ons thuis werd het er al jong ingestampt: Reve, Elsschot en Carmiggelt, daar moest je ruimschoots en foutloos uit kunnen citeren. Wie dat niet kon, of erger nog, deze verafgode schrijvers wel gelezen had maar ‘niet zo leuk’ vond, werd beschouwd als een geestelijk minvermogende, en in ernstige gevallen zelfs van verdere conversatie buitengesloten. Nu was ik een vroegwijze boekenwurm met brilletje, maar De avonden en Lijmen/Het been waren toch voor mijn achtjarig brein moeilijk te verteren. Die lange stukken Frans bij Elsschot alléén al. En met Reves Frits van Egters voelde ik slechts een waakvlammetje van verwantschap toen hij stiekem uit de pan sudderlapjes snoepte. Maar Carmiggelt, daar was geen woord Frans bij. Die boekjes zagen er aantrekkelijk uit, tussen al die moeilijke grotemensenboeken op de kastplanken van mijn ouders. Er stond meestal een vrolijk plaatje op het kaft, en de inhoud was óók al zo geestig. Wat ik niet snapte sloeg ik gewoon over, er was tenslotte genoeg. Ik begon met de verhaaltjes die over dieren gingen. Veel beter dan in de beste kinderboeken beschreef Carmiggelt de overpeinzingen van een verlegen poes, een boze kip (‘Móói hoor, ze jatten hier je eieren’) of een bedroefd paard. -

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. -

DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear
DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear President, Dear Friend in Magic, My philosophy has always been this: “facts speak for themselves”. You can check what I did in these three/six years, with the precious help of the Int. Vice Presidents and the Consultancy Groups, in my triennial report that will be sent to you soon. There is still a lot to do of course and this is why I am asking for the re-election (according to our Statutes for the last period of three years possible,) to accomplish something that is very important to me, since one of the main goals of FISM is to improve Magic and to raise the level of Magicians: - FISM Competition Compliance System (CCS) that will provide rules and services to Associated Societies to better Qualify their Competition and promote them as FISM Compliance Competition. - FISM Jury Qualification System (JQS) selecting and training qualified Judges to assure uniformed and high-quality judging all over the World. - To go on promoting FISM also outside the world of magic (including Academies and Universities). The Fism Board is already working on this matter and the success of the project matters to me. I want to thank you all for the support you gave to me and the Board during these years. It is a great reward for the really hard job we did. Kindest regards Domenico Dante DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear President, Dear Friend in Magic, Ma philosophie a toujours été celle-ci : « Les faits parlent d’eux-mêmes ». Vous pourrez vérifier tout ce que j’ai accompli durant ces trois/six ans, avec la précieuse collaboration de mes deux vice-présidents et des Consultancy Groups, dans mon rapport triennal que vous recevrez sous peu.
