“To see Cardini is like watching a trick fi lm.” – Patrick Page “I had the greatest magical experience of my life when I watched him perform.” – Robert Harbin “If I had seen him work when I was at the start of my career, I would have scrapped the profession and learned a different trade.” – Channing Pollock 42 MAGIC • august 2007 M192 Cardini_v1_FIN.indd 2 7/12/07 11:41:33 AM “The world’s outstanding stage exponent of pure sleight-of-hand.” – Milbourne Christopher “The greatest single act that ever appeared in the world to my way of thinking.” – Dai Vernon ~By John Fisher~ Magicians today acknowledge that the examples set by the legendary Car- dini — in technique, in suavity, and in career achievement — shone the light for them. It is probable that Cardini has still not been surpassed as both an entertaining and an artistic exponent of pure sleight-of-hand within the limitations of a short vaudeville act.

Eugene Burger (1939-2017)
1 Eugene Burger (1939-2017) Photo: Michael Caplan A Celebration of Life and Legacy by Lawrence Hass, Ph.D. August 19, 2017 (This obituary was written at the request of Eugene Burger’s Estate. A shortened version of it appeared in Genii: The International Conjurors’ Magazine, October 2017, pages 79-86.) “Be an example to the world, ever true and unwavering. Then return to the infinite.” —Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching, 28 How can I say goodbye to my dear friend Eugene Burger? How can we say goodbye to him? Eugene was beloved by nearly every magician in the world, and the outpouring of love, appreciation, and sadness since his death in Chicago on August 8, 2017, has been astonishing. The magic world grieves because we have lost a giant in our field, a genuine master: a supremely gifted performer, writer, philosopher, and teacher of magic. But we have lost something more: an extremely rare soul who inspired us to join him in elevating the art of magic. 2 There are not enough words for this remarkable man—will never be enough words. Eugene is, as he always said about his beloved art, inexhaustible. Yet the news of his death has brought, from every corner of the world, testimonies, eulogies, songs of praise, cries of lamentation, performances in his honor, expressions of love, photos, videos, and remembrances. All of it widens our perspective on the man; it has been beautiful and deeply moving. Even so, I have been asked by Eugene’s executors to write his obituary, a statement of his history, and I am deeply honored to do so. -

Model of Information Process for Neuromagic
Model of information process for neuromagic David Bestue1,2 1. Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) 2. Universitat de Barcelona (UB) Abstract In this work, I structure the magical knowledge around the neuroscientific literature. For that, I present a theoretical neuropsychological model to illustrate how magic tricks can interfere with different processes of the information flow. This model combines different memory stages, the perceptual pathway, the emergence of attention and the consciousness threshold to provide a holistic picture of how magic functions from the neuroscientific perspective. Following the model, I also present a misdirection definition and classification that is more accurate with the biological reality than the existing ones. Introduction Over the last few years, the field of neuroscience has developed a branch based on the combination of both magicians and neuroscientists knowledge–“neuromagic”- (Tompkins et al., 2016; Shalom et al., 2013; Kuhn et al., 2008; Rissanen et al., 2014; Lamont & Henderson, 2009; Olson et al., 2015; Rensink & Kuhn, 2015; Ekroll et al., 2017; Barak & Tsodyks, 2014; Kuhn, 2019). The goal of magicians is to surprise their audience and to do so, they create magic tricks that are increasingly impressive. In this process, they are inadvertently lighting a lot of processes underlying attention, perception and memory (Kuhn et al., 2016; Wiseman et al., 2016; Rieiro et al., 2013; Cui et al., 2011; Demacheva et al., 2012; Kuhn & Land, 2006). In this work, I propose a model to address the impact of magical techniques based on a neuroscientific framework of how the brain processes information. 1 The popular notion that magic works because “the magician makes us look elsewhere” has pushed the field to investigate attention through magic. -

How an Illusionist Used Copyright Law As a Patent, 14 J. MARSHALL REV
THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME: HOW AN ILLUSIONIST USED COPYRIGHT LAW AS A PATENT SYDNEY BECKMAN ABSTRACT Teller is a famous illusionist who, in recent years, has been performing a stage act with Penn Jillete in Las Vegas, Nevada. Teller’s signature trick, known as “Shadows,” was copied by a magician in Belgium who offered to sell the method. The Belgian’s trick, titled “The Rose and Her Shadow,” was virtually identical to Teller’s illusion. That which we call a rose by any other name . Teller wanted the Belgian magician to stop offering the trick for sale. After an unsuccessful attempt to negotiate, Teller took his dispute to federal court. His goal? To protect that which cannot be protected — at least not by Copyright law — the secret behind his trick. This paper discusses how a court used Copyright law to do just what Teller sought: To protect the secret behind a copyright protected magic trick.
