SWEET SIXTEEN Michael De Marco This effect was developed by Michael after reading “Three Heaps,” from Blackstone’s Modern Card Tricks, page 81. EFFECT: A selected card is found by the spectator himself which he does all the operations! PERFORMANCE: Have the spectator shuffle the deck, no Jokers, then deal out three cards face up to the table, forming a row from left to right. Let us say, for example, that he dealt the 5S, the 7H and the JD. Tell him that next to each card he has to deal a number of cards, starting from the value of the face-up card, to a total of the mystic value of sixteen. For example, next to the 5S, he would deal a total of eleven cards face down from the top of the face-down deck into a pile, counting aloud as he deals. Next to the 7H, he would deal nine cards. Next to the JD, Jack being eleven, he would deal a total of five cards. Tell him to remove any card from the reminder of the deck in his hands, look at it without showing it to you, then drop it face down on top of any of the three face-down piles he created on the table. He is to cut the cards left in his hands a complete cut, and drop them on top of his selection. He then is to pick up this combined pile and drop it onto either of the other two face down piles. Again he picks up the combined pile, and drops it onto the last face- down pile. He squares the entire deck. Ask him to add the values of the three face-up cards on the table. In this example it would add 5 + 7 + 11 = 23. He deals down a number of cards from the top of the deck equal to the sum of the three face-up cards. In our example he would deal twenty three cards. Ask him to drop the remaining cards in his hand onto the dealt pile. Ask him the name of his selection and have him turn over the top card and show that he has found his chosen card. Vol. 12 Issue 9 Page 3 Fred Kaps In his later years, the great Cardini was once asked which of the newer magi- cians he most admired. Without hesitation he mentioned two names: Channing Pollock and Fred Kaps. To many of us today, Kaps may not be too familiar, but he was an elegant performer and built a solid reputation until his most untimely death at the age of 54. Born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on June 8, 1926, as Abraham Pieter Adrianus Bongers, he first learned magic from a book of simple tricks he got by collecting coupons from oatmeal packets. He first performed at the age of 14, calling himself "Valdini." He also used the name "Mystica" but ultimately found the name Kaps in a phone book and that's the name he chose. He honed his skills over the years under the tutelage of Henk Vermeyden and soon was winning magic contests in Europe. It didn't take too long before he was being booked in nightspots throughout Europe and appeared on television. Kaps taught himself English by listening to recordings of Victor Borge (the Danish comedian and pianist.) His patter always seemed to have the comic inflec- tion of Borge. Just as Borge seemed a bit confused as he sat at the piano, Fred Kaps constantly seemed surprised as magic happened around him as with the appearing cane, multiplying candles and his amazing Long Salt Pour. Sometimes at the end as the salt cascaded from his hand, the curtains would close, then his hand would extend from the gap in the curtains with even more salt pouring from it! He had his own show on the BBC in England and was booked to appear on the "Ed Sullivan Show" in the U.S. On one of the two shows he did for Sullivan he had to share the show with a very hard act to fol- low: it was February 9, 1964, the same night the Beatles made their first U.S. appearance! On that night he performed for an estimated audience of 73 million TV viewers. Kaps was most elegant as a performer, especially in his close up work with the cups and balls and chop cup. In many ways, he was a perfectionist, incessantly practicing and working on his material to get it just right. Dai Vernon called him "the greatest exponent of sleight of hand I have known." Slydini said that Kaps was "the best magician I have ever seen." The British performer Michael Vincent said that Kaps "blurred" the edges between his brilliance and his humanity." Fred Kaps is the only magi- cian to have won the FISM Grand Prix with a silent act three times: Barcelona, 1950; Amsterdam, 1955; and Liege, 1961. Fred Kaps became a genuine celebrity in Holland and was even given a lifetime pass for free travel on Royal Dutch Airlines to compensate him for all the shows he had done for that com- pany. Starting with his Floating Cork, he created a new era of thread work for close up performers, popularizing a genre that continues today. I only saw him in person one time, and until then I had never seen a performer doing close up in a tuxedo. His death in 1980 left a tragic void in magic. There has not been anyone of such elegance and style since.

Why does " practice '•' frighten so many people ? Practice can and should be thor- oughly enjoyable because it brings the pleasure and satisfaction of achievement. Achievement is a universally gratifying thing, and, by practicing, one ends up with something of value to one's self—and others. If skill and cleverness could be acquired for the asking, there would be little to profit anyone. Will my readers conduct an experiment ? Sometime, when alone, start trying to improve some move or sleight that has already been learnt. Experi- ment with it, strive to improve it by incorporating your own ideas—keep trying—it is surprising how the time will fly by, but when headway has been made a most sat- isfactory feeling of delight will be experienced. Even a very minor achievement is most gratifying, and, as the result has been brought about by practice, it makes practice enjoyable. If people just cannot derive pleasure and satisfaction from prac- tice and are not prepared to expend the time and thought and energy required be- cause they find it irksome, then magic is not for them— they should turn to a dif- ferent hobby.

    Ik lieg de waarheid. De beste Kronkels Simon Carmiggelt Editie Sylvia Witteman bron Simon Carmiggelt, Ik lieg de waarheid. De beste Kronkels (ed. Sylvia Witteman). De Arbeiderspers, Amsterdam / Antwerpen 2007 (2de druk) Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/carm002ikli02_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. 9 Woord vooraf Bij ons thuis werd het er al jong ingestampt: Reve, Elsschot en Carmiggelt, daar moest je ruimschoots en foutloos uit kunnen citeren. Wie dat niet kon, of erger nog, deze verafgode schrijvers wel gelezen had maar ‘niet zo leuk’ vond, werd beschouwd als een geestelijk minvermogende, en in ernstige gevallen zelfs van verdere conversatie buitengesloten. Nu was ik een vroegwijze boekenwurm met brilletje, maar De avonden en Lijmen/Het been waren toch voor mijn achtjarig brein moeilijk te verteren. Die lange stukken Frans bij Elsschot alléén al. En met Reves Frits van Egters voelde ik slechts een waakvlammetje van verwantschap toen hij stiekem uit de pan sudderlapjes snoepte. Maar Carmiggelt, daar was geen woord Frans bij. Die boekjes zagen er aantrekkelijk uit, tussen al die moeilijke grotemensenboeken op de kastplanken van mijn ouders. Er stond meestal een vrolijk plaatje op het kaft, en de inhoud was óók al zo geestig. Wat ik niet snapte sloeg ik gewoon over, er was tenslotte genoeg. Ik begon met de verhaaltjes die over dieren gingen. Veel beter dan in de beste kinderboeken beschreef Carmiggelt de overpeinzingen van een verlegen poes, een boze kip (‘Móói hoor, ze jatten hier je eieren’) of een bedroefd paard.

  • 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.

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.
