  • Jon Racherbaumer There Are Not Many People Who Have Been
    Anthony Darkstone In Conversation With ….. Jon Racherbaumer There are not many people who have been gifted with the skills of a brilliant writer. Even fewer people have the talent to write about magic and magicians. Jon Racherbaumer knows how to use words. He knows a great deal about magic and magicians. When it comes to writing about magic and magicians Jon Racherbaumer is the acknowledged leader. His name is well known to the magic world and hence also to the readers of The Linking Ring, m-u-m, Magic and Genii. He has written almost 70 books, and to date, well over a million meaningful words on magic. He has the unique ability and genius to make the esoteric understandable. He is, without any doubt, one of the most prolific writers on magic. With the excellent use of language and vocabulary he brings passion and value to our ancient art. I am honoured to be on the same Panel of Advisors with him on the magic web channel and it was a distinct honour for me to be on the close-up panel of judges with him at The Society of American Magicians 2001 convention in his home town of New Orleans. I am proud to be his friend and number 1 fan. I have had the privilege of spending fun times with Jon and I enjoy referring to him as The Thesaurus. He has always been a great source of inspiration to me and I'm indebted to him for several reasons – much too many to list. I am delighted & honored to share one of our many conversations.

Downloaded from www.vanishingincmagic.com by Ray Hyman AcknowledgEments Magic in Mind started out as a project intended expressly for serious young magicians, but the first of many lessons I learned during my two-year endeavor is this: age has little to do with learning. It was evident, early on, that this collection would benefitanyone serious about getting serious in magic. So here we are. Thanks to all the generous magicians who have allowed me to include their work in this collection. I am overwhelmed by the support they have shown. In particular, I wish to single out Darwin Ortiz, whose writings I admire greatly, and who went against a personal policy, and agreed to participate. I consider it a favor to me, and a favor to all those who will learn from his writings. Thanks, Darwin, for being flexible and generous. Thanks to Stephen Minch, whose encouragement and “pull” helped initiate the project. Irving Quant helped with the translation of “Fundamentals of Illusionism” by Juan Tamariz. Denis Behr suggested a few essays I was not familiar with.

  • Close-Up Magic Materials/Michael J. Amico Papers Inventory
    Brian Sutton-Smith Library and Archives of Play Close-Up Magic/Amico Papers Inventory Close-Up Magic Materials/Michael J. Amico Papers Processed by: Cheri Crist (2007); inventory revised by Doris C. Sturzenberger Custodial History: The Library of The Strong acquired this group of papers related to the practice of close-up magic from Lars Sandel in July 1992. Sandel provided a comprehensive list of items included in the collection; however, there was no indication or record of the manner by which he came to acquire the items, nor is there any specific mention of the papers of Michael Amico. The original lot included books, booklets, and serials, which were added to the Brian Sutton-Smith Library and Archives of Play. The lot also included three-dimensional items, which were transferred to the Museum of Play collections. The papers had been divided into two boxes: one that contained personal papers of Michael J. Amico, a local, semi-professional, close-up magician; the other, a large number of magic trick instructions, along with a few items that seemed to relate directly or indirectly to Michael Amico. Some of the Amico-related items in the second box were from the Society of American Magicians (both the local and national groups), of which Amico was a member, while others had the word Amico written on them. One item mentions Bob Follmer, who was a friend of Amico. It is unknown how the two boxes are related. Because the same Object ID (93.7077) had been assigned to both sets of papers, the processor made the decision to integrate the two collections into one combined collection.
