June 2008 Newsletter.Pub Vol. 5 Issue 6 June 2008 We meets the first Thursday of the month at Beth Sholom, 1050 S. Tuttle Ave. Sarasota FL. 34237 Workshop at 6:00 pm. Officers meeting 6:30 pm. General meeting and presentation 7:00 pm. Visit our Web Site at HTTP://www.ibmring81.com Now one of Germany‘s Flicking Fingers, is visiting select parts of America with his solo lecture-tour. Their book (The Book) has become a modern classic of Close up magic, their group lectures at FISM and the Dessert Magic Seminar in Las Vegas, apart from winning the team Siegfried & Roy‘s prestigious „Sarmoti Award“ have achieved legendary status, and their over three hours-long DVD „The Movie“ is generally considered one of the funniest, most informative and all-around best magic-DVD of recent years. Manuel Muerte, the team‘s official master of misdirection presents not only several original effects for parlor and Close Up work but also offers insights into principles of misdirection and how to make your magic more deceptive and entertaining. The perfect blend of theory and practice! He has won the second price in Close Up at FISM 2000 and the first price in comedy at FISM 1994 in Yokohama Japan. He has lectured in all of the major cities in Europe. He did several lecture tours in America and finally he performed his lecture at FFFF, at the Magic Castle and at FISM 2003. This lecture will also introduce his new DVD that covers in detail the concepts and effects presented in the lecture: *Cups and Balls. * Casanovas Coin - a coin and a wristwatch penetrate a ladies stocking. * The Wonder Box: - a card appears several times under a cigar box with a surprise finish. * Card in Shoe: - a signed card and a glass appear inside of the performers shoe. * Bill Quick Change: - an impromptu version of the $100 bill switch. * Bill in Lemon: - a new method. * Jackpot: - a new version of an old theme: a coin vanishes several times ala the one armed bandit, complete with surprise ending. * Mental Effect – a clever new effect with no name. The entire lecture will be performed in English.

HAHNE Art Director for the Linking Ring Magazine Nelson C. Hahne (1908-1970) was one of magic's finest illustrators.He literally did thousands of illustrations for books, catalogs and magazines, starting in 1924 and continuing until his death in 1970 at the age of 61. Today in The Linking Ring Magazine there is a Linking Ring CLASSICS which features a cartoon by Nelson C. Hahne. Our Editor, Samuel Patrick Smith, has done this to honor his memory. Tony Dunn is the current Art Director for the magazine, but beginning in the forties and continuing for four decades Nelson Hahne had the position. He grew up in Ohio and magic and art were an important part of his life even as a youngster. He graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Science degree in commerce. Following graduation Nelson attended art school and got a job in the advertising field. Hahne believed the ideal magician should be made up of certain ingredients. In his first book, "Here's Magic", Hahne wrote that a magician..."must have a dash of daring and a dash of audacity in his makeup." All of the magicians Hahne illustrated possessed those elements. He spent some time in Chicago working on Laurie Ireland's first catalog and also illustrating Laurie's first book, "Ireland Writes A Book". He did hundreds and hundreds of magic illustrations for Floyd Thayer, Max Holden, National Magic Company, John Synder, Jr., Nelson Enterprises, etc. Fortunately, Hahne signed almost all of his work and many of his illustrations were even dated. He signed his work in different ways, and would often just letter his name "Nelson Hahne" or just "Hahne". Today, Ring 81 member,Tony Dunn has several original Hahne drawings in his collection. He and his wife, Virginia, moved to Pompano Beach, Florida in 1970 just prior to his death from cancer. Former editor Howard Bamman stated in the December 1970 issue of The Linking Ring, "His respect for art and magic were profound and he generously shared his talents on the pages of the Ring Magazine. His magic and humor with pen and brush still are an inspiration today for the many that remember him and his work. Re: The Art of Deception Page 114 Vol. 5 Issue 6 June 2008 Page 3 Trick of the Month. U Find Your Card Lu Brent (NSR) This clever trick also originally appeared in Encyclopedia of Card Tricks. No set up required. Any place, Any deck, Any time. Using any deck allow the spectator to shuffle the cards, then divide them into two packets. Have spectator choose one of the packets and give you the other. Tell him that while your back is turned he is to select a card from his packet, remember what it is and place it on top of his packet. Turn your back and tuck your elbows firmly to your sides to conceal any movement. Reverse the bottom card of your packet and also the second card from the top. When spectator is ready, turn around, and place your packet on top of the spectator’s cards. Tell him to place the cards behind his back and follow your instructions. He is to take the top card and put it on the bottom of the deck. Turn over the top card and place it in the middle of the deck. When done he is to turn around and hand you the deck. Spread the cards on the table or fan them in hand to reveal one reversed card. Divide the pack at that point. Restate all that was done. He shuffled the cards, made a fee choice, combined both packets and freely inserted a reversed card anywhere in the deck. Have spectator name his card Turn over the card below the reversed card and reveal the selection. There is a very small possibility that the spectator will insert the card between the face up card and his selection. If this happens, the card you turn up will not be the one he names. His card will be the next one. Simply turn it up and congratulate the spectator on being so close. If you change your e-mail address or subscribe to a new one, please notify the club sec- retary. We communicate with the majority of our members this way and want to make sure that you’re not left out of the electronic loop.

Ravenswood Ave. -Suite 116- Chicago, Illinois 60617 Introduction ollywood became the center of the magic world in 1963. That year, Dai Vernon, known to Hmagicians world wide as “The Professor,” moved to California. On arrival, Vernon took up residence at the Magic Castle, where he would remain a fixture for the next 25 years — and become an icon. From the Castle flowed Vernon’s dictum of natural magic; he avowed deep study of the art as a route to perfection. These and other mantras he would impart both through the written word and in person, to countless associates, fans and students. In 1964, a Midwestern sleight-of-hand artist, Bruce Cervon, also moved west. Southern California, he’d been assuredd, was the nexus of all things magical. The Magic Castle was the place to perform close-up magic. And Vernon was there. Almost immediately upon their initial meeting, Cervon and Vernon developed a strong, important friendship and student/teacher relationship. From their sessions came weighty ideas, concepts and published works: most prominently, Cervon’s Castle Notebooks and The Vernon Chronicles.
