  • The Magic of Alan Shaxon
    THE MAGIC OF ALAN SHAXON One of England’s leading magicians, Alan Shaxon has appeared in cabaret all over the world, at the top hotels from Sydney to Las Vegas, on the finest luxury liners, and on international television. He enjoys a reputation as a classy and adaptable performer of great experience, and Is seen by all the top people in all the best places. Alan is currently The President of The Magic Circle, only the 11th elected to this position in their 101 year history and was awarded their premier award of “The Maskelyne”. He has recently been to Las Vegas to receive a prestigious Performing Fellowship from The Magic Castle in Hollywood, and received “The Murray Award” before 3000 magical enthusiasts at the Opera House, Blackpool. Alan is one of only five British magicians ever to be elected to the “Hall of Fame” by the Society of American Magicians. Whether Alan is appearing on stage or doing close-up magic right under your nose, he leaves you totally baffled and entertained. Once he gets a pack of cards in his hands anything can happen, your borrowed banknotes get lost and turn up in the unlikeliest place, finger rings melt away, and he reads your mind in an amazing fashion. On stage or in cabaret he produces live goldfish on the end of a line cast into the audience, and might include major illusions like sawing and levitating a member of the audience. It’s fun, it’s fast, and Alan’s engaging personality lifts the art of magic to new heights of sophisticated illusion.

  • 57, December 2019
    Ex Libris by Joaquin Ayala, Ph.D. Hello folks and welcome to the Ex Libris article for December 2019! Recently I had attended an event where the best of the best products for a company were highlighted, and it was based on the annual revenue of each of the products. It was very interesting to see the variety of things that were named, as well as the parameters for being the “Best of the Best” for the year. This reminded me of a book that was long out of print, which was recently rereleased this year (about a month or so ago), which is the focus of our article this month. It is a book called Best of All Worlds – a 377-page, hardcover book published in 2009 by The Magic Apple in California. It was written and compiled by Brent Arthur and James Geris, with Bob Postelnik and Duppy Demetrius, and it was illustrated by Stephen Mitchell. As mentioned above, it sold out rather quickly and has been out of print since the first run, and it was rereleased again due to popular demand. If you have not figured it out per the title, this book focuses on various ways and means of performing one of the greatest card effects (if not the) greatest card effect ever created – Out of this World (a.k.a. OOTW) created by Paul Curry back in 1942. If you are unfamiliar with the effect: Two face- up marker cards, one red and one black, are placed on the table. Using their intuition as to the color they think each face down card is, a spectator deals cards face down one at a time onto the marker cards.
