  • Pressive Cast of Thinkers and Performers
    Table of Contents Long Synopsis Short Synopsis Michael Caplan Biography Key Production Personnel Filmography Credit List Magicians & Scholars Cover design by Lara Marsh, Illustration by Michael Pajon A Magical Vision /Long Synopsis ______________________________________________________ A Magical Vision spotlights Eugene Burger, a far-sighted philosopher and magician who is considered one of the great teachers of the magical arts. Eugene has spent twenty-five years speaking to magicians, academics, and the general public about the experience of magic. Advocating a return to magic’s shamanistic, healing traditions, Eugene’s “magic tricks” seek to evoke feelings of awe and transcendence, and surpass the Las Vegas-style entertainment so many of us visualize when we think of magicians. Mentors and colleagues have emerged throughout Eugene’s globe-trotting career. Among them is Jeff McBride, a recognized innovator of contemporary magic, and Max Maven, a one-man-show who performs a unique brand of “mind magic” to audiences worldwide. Lawrence Hass created the world’s first magic program in a liberal arts setting, where his seminar has attracted an impressive cast of thinkers and performers. The film, however, is Eugene’s journey. It began in 1940s Chicago, a city already renowned as the center of classic magic performance. Yale Divinity School followed, leading Eugene to the world of Asian mysticism. From there came the creation of Hauntings, a tribute to the sprit theatre of the 19th century, and the gore of the Bizarre Magick movement. Today Eugene’s performances and lectures draw inspiration from the mythology of India to the Buddhism of magical theory. On this stage, the magicians and thinkers open doors to an astounding world, a world that we rarely take time to see.

  • 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.

  • LISA MENNA a Superstition by Chloe Olewitz PHOTO by JACQUE
    LISA MENNA a Superstition By Chloe Olewitz PHOTO BY JACQUE MENNA Lisa, age 17, performing for Muhammad Ali at the 1982 Desert Magic Seminar Lisa Menna was one of the last to compete at the Las Vegas Desert Magic Seminar’s open close- up session in 1982, when she was 17 years old. It was a long day, and she remembers how the checked-out audience had perked up at the sight of a young woman in a white, form-fitting, knit dress. Waiting in the wings before her set, Menna noticed a celebrity sitting in the front row that no one had called on yet. She decided to go for it, and walked straight toward him to ask, “Could you please come help me?” Whatever attention she had gotten for being a gender anomaly in the 20- person close-up competition was dwarfed by the fact that the girl had just picked Muhammad Ali. When he joined her on stage, Menna doubled down on her carefree clown character. “Hi! My name’s Lisa! What’s your name?” She had no idea that her feigned innocence would get such a big reaction. “My name’s Joe,” Ali responded. “Joe Frazier.” More laughter. “Gosh Joe, you sure have big hands,” Menna said. The room erupted. Menna was born in Connecticut in 1964. When she was four years old, her family relocated to St. Louis, where she encountered magical clown Steve “Ickle Pickle” Bender at her older brother’s birthday party. When she was seven, Menna received her first magic set as a gift from her mother, who during her own youth had mailed in 57 Popsicle wrappers collected over the course of a single summer in exchange for a set of multiplying billiard balls.

    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.

DB: Of course I am, depending on what you ask me but so far I am happy to sign it. SB: OK. First of all perhaps you could tell me a little bit about your background; where you were born? DB: Well, I never give a straight answer to that because it’s a bit complicated. It’s a bit like asking somebody, “Where were you born?” and they say in “China” because their parents happened to be in China at the moment and as a baby they were brought over and for the rest of their lives they have to say they were born in China and they say, “Oh, you’re Chinese”. “No, I’m not!” So I have to tell you that my Grandparents, my father’s parents, were from Poland and my mother’s parents from Russia and my father was born in a country between Austria and Czechoslovakia, which doesn’t exist anymore.

    Vol. 20 No. 1 September 2011 Tip Of The Month: If you want to work through agents and they need you to send some of your publicity to them, you need to supply them with cards, brochures and flyers that do NOT have your own personal contact details on them. The agents will only pass the publicity on if it has THEIR contact information shown on the materials. MOST POPULAR Featuring the most purchased products from my range Forever Flapping Plus This E-Book started off life as a comb bound printed book called In A Flap. A sequel called Still Flapping was published a few years after the original one appeared and then eventually both books were amalgamated and supplemented with a whole load of extra material to become Forever Flapping Plus. If you are interested in the possibilities that gimmicked envelopes can provide, then this E-Book is a perfect starting place. It gives construction details of 9 different individual gimmicked envelopes with loads of routines using them, plus there is a whole range of further effects in- cluded in which regular envelopes play an important yet unobtrusive part. Included in this book are details of both the Leveridge Envelope and the Utility Switch Envelope, both of which I feel on their own are worth more than the price of the entire book as they are so versatile and effective.
