JANUARY 2013 - M-U-M Magazine 5 promoting the tableside performances of a magician called “El Roberto Enigimatico.” R.D. told his waiter that he would like to see the magician after dinner. As the plates were being cleared, a man with shoulder-length Editor’s Desk hair and a Pedro Armendáriz moustache approached the table and launched into a series of card tricks. The man seemed vaguely Michael Close familiar, although R.D. could not immediately place him. Just then, the magician began a Wild Card effect, accompanied with patter that included the phrase “hombres que cazan cabezas” (a This month Dennis Loomis finishes up his tenure as a regular Babelfish-like translation of the word “headhunters”), and R.D. columnist for M-U-M.

The pack is then cut several times and handed back to the magician. A pile of cards suddenly falls off the pack, leaving the magician holding the spectators card. METHOD When the card is selected by the spectator, the card on the bottom of the pack is crimped by the magician’s pinky. The spectator’s card is then placed on the top of the pack and the pack is cut. This now means that the spectator’s card is underneath the crimped card. The pack can be passed around the room to be cut several times and the spectator’s card will always be under the crimped card. The pack is then handed back to the magician who quietly puts his thumb under the crimped card appearing to be clumsy and allows the cards above his thumb to fall on the floor. The card under his thumb will be the spectators. The magician can also allow the rest of the cards to fall, leaving only the spectators card in his hand. This trick looks amazing because the audience has seen that the magician has not had a lot of contact with the pack and the whole routine has been totally impromptu.

  • 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.

    JANUARY 2012 U.S. $6 PIT H A R T L I N G THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GERMAN MAGICIAN IN HIS WEIGHT CLASS! BY RICHARD HATCH The Giersch Museum, on the south bank of the Main River in the heart of Frankfurt’s museum district, is a renovated three-story neo- classical villa built in 1910. Its primary mission, since opening as an art museum in September 2000, has been to showcase artists with a con- nection to the region but whose importance transcends the region’s boundaries. To carry out its mission, it generally stages two major exhibi- tions annually. The current exhibit focuses on the Italianate landscapes of Carl Morgenstern (1811–1893), one of the city’s most success- ful and renowned 19th-century painters. But recently the museum hosted the first of a planned series of performances showcasing another kind of artist: Frankfurt-based magi- cian Pit Hartling. The son of a hospital’s head doctor and the executive secretary to the CEO in charge of licensing of Disney products in Germany, Pit was born on January 25, 1976, in the village of Nieder-Erlenbach, now a section of Frankfurt. PIT Eight years later, Pit discovered an old magic set in his maternal great-aunt Emma’s basement. “There was no one particularly interested in magic in the family,” Pit recalls. “Why she had H A R T L I N G that old magic set is somewhat of a mystery.” The wooden props made fascinating playthings. This discovery was the start of an increasingly obsessive interest in conjuring.
