Adrian Smith, then current Dean of the Society of American Magicians. At the time, Harold as he was known to his friends, had the largest magic library in the world. Often Harold was a dinner guest at our house and as usual after our meal “the boys” would discuss magic and collecting. Harold’s plan for his books and ephemera was to donate it all to his alma mater, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. As we all know that’s what happened to his collection. Ed on the other hand disagreed with Harold’s plan and said that when the time came for him to dissolve his library he wanted everything to be sold; so that other collectors could enjoy what he had amassed.

  • Pat Page MRS Workshop Degersheim, Saturday 25Th October 2008 Notes and Annotations by Roberto Giobbi
    Roberto Giobbi www.robertogiobbi.com Pat Page MRS Workshop Degersheim, Saturday 25th October 2008 Notes and Annotations by Roberto Giobbi On the 28th of October 2008, Sven Bolliger (aka Sven Spacey), President of the Magic Circle of Switzerland, booked Patrick Page for a full two-day seminar in Switzerland. It took place in Reto Breitenmoser’s amazing Miracle Factory in Degersheim, a secluded village in the north-east part of the country, in the canton where the famous Appenzeller cheese is produced. It’s a great event place, houses the library of the Magic Circle of Switzerland (MRS/CMS), as well as a museum of magic, so, if you’re ever cast up in that corner of the world, it’s worth a visit. Due to professional commitments, I could only assist at one of the two days, but inviting Pat for dinner the night before near Zurich Airport compensated for this; we had a great session until late at night… I thought that you might be interested in the notes I took at the time. The more experienced among you will recognize some great Pat Page classics, but I’m more than confident, that some of them will be worthy rediscoveries and some of it new - as it was to me when I attended this remarkable and memorable event. Now that Pat Page sadly has passed away, my notes and annotations might not only bring to you some really useful professional tricks, techniques, and presentations, but hopefully a bit of his incomparable personality and insight he had into 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.

  • Sealed Vision
    SEALED VISION The X-Ray Eye Act Written by Will Dexter eBook Version TRICKSHOP.COM About the cover: The gentleman pictured is Kuda Bux. During his lifetime, Kuda’s outstanding technique and showmanship helped him earn international acclaim with the X-Ray Eye Act. The following brief bio is from an article by Bill Larsen, Jr. in Genii Magazine. The Man With the X-Ray Eyes Kuda has just returned to the Magic Castle from a tour of Canada with Peter Reveen. He was a sensation and will again join the Reveen Company, if plans work out, to tour Australia later in the year. As near as I can make out from the clippings (and I don’t want to ask Kuda as this is to be a surprise) Kuda must be either 69 or 70 years old having been born in Aknmur, Kashmir, Pakistan in either 1905 or 1906. Early in his life he realized he had an ability not shared by many. This was concentration. We are all aware of the five senses but Kuda was to develop within himself a sixth sense or inner sense. Through his successful years of performing he has been headlined in papers around the world as: “The Wonder of the Century;” “One of the most famous ‘Makers of Magic’ who ever came out of the East;” and the “8th Wonder of the World.” In the thirties he made headlines in England (which were to be repeated in the U.S. in the forties) with his fire walking.

    Magical Thinking: How Learning to Act Like a Magician Can Make You a Better Physician Michael B. Pitt, MD For most of history, the line between magic and medicine was blurred. Before there was a pathophysiologic understanding of disease, there was little distinction between a magician and a physician. Both may wave their hands, utter some Latin-sounding words, produce a potion, and promise to make something (a coin or an ailment) disappear. Still today, providers who have successfully reduced a nursemaid’s elbow or who have made vertigo vanish with a canalith repositioning maneuver have borne witness to the healing power of medical sleight of hand. Recently, the use of magic at the bedside has seen a renaissance of sorts. In a 2017 review, Lam et al1 described many ways providers are incorporating magic in medicine, ranging from teaching patients magic tricks for physical therapy2 to its use as humor therapy as a prophylactic anxiolytic for patients.3,4 As a professional magician and a pediatrician, I have seen how magic and medicine intersect. Whereas I occasionally use a trick to calm an anxious child before an examination, I use the skills of how a magician approaches an audience in every patient encounter. Over Department of Pediatrics, M Health Fairview University of Minnesota the last decade, I have taught over 3000 providers how learning to think Masonic Children’s Hospital, Minneapolis, Minnesota and act like a magician, even without doing a magic trick, can improve DOI: https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2020-0420 their ability to connect with patients.
