Jimmy Fingers Trickstar of the New Vaudevillian Jimmy Fingers Trickstar of the New Vaudevillian A typical Jimmy Fingers' Show is not typical at all... It all starts out with his Las Vegas Dove Act-The act that was too hot for FOX Television!!! This is the actual show that Jimmy does in Las Vegas, and throughout the country, where doves are produced and multiplied in the purest way! Without boxes or contraptions from the magic shop. In his bare hands! The end of this segment features a fire-eating display (see picture) that will leave your guests breathless! This is followed by The Vanishing Yo-yo, an exhibition that earned Jimmy a Duncan Yo-Yo Champion patch in the early 70's, and helped him win the title of "Houston's Top Juggler" in the only juggling competition ever held in the Houston area. Then, the magic begins again, as Jimmy cuts himself in two using his own invented trick, the Visible Rope through Body illusion. This effect was featured nationally on "30-Seconds to Fame" on Fox Television, and was requested for repetition 3 times by David Copperfield when he asked Jimmy to demonstrate it for him. The rope visibly cuts through Jimmy's body, arms, legs, head, and travels throughout the extremities with ease. Next, the audience is asked to help with magic using everyday objects. The Communication Test shows what happens when "the world's greatest magician" does miracles with common drink napkins. Audience scrutiny added to ordinary objects creates MIRACLES! Another audience member is brought to the stage and allowed to examine CHOPPO, the world's only ungimmicked guillotine that will be cutting his or her hand off(?). This piece is one of a kind, and Jimmy's show is the ONLY place to see this original effect performed. In some shows, Jimmy will produce the hilarious, hypnotic Floating Zombie Ball. The silver ball will taunt and tease audiences as it floats, hides, reappears and torments the magician and the audience, as well. A classic of magic, done with Jimmy's own original touches. If you've ever thought that you've seen a real ghost, welcome back! Now, it's time for the Psychic Prediction tests. Jimmy reads the minds of several audience members, and the looks on their faces show the extent of how how eerie and intrusive Jimmy's incredible power has proven to be. Three audience members are told what cards they are merely thinking of. They never even touch a deck of cards!!! Next is the Touch of a Ghost. Two audience members, any age, one male and one female, are brought onto the stage, and asked to stand several feet from each other. The male is asked to be the 'receiver' of the invisible touches, and closes his eyes. He is told to wait for the feeling of being touched on his face. Jimmy touches the female 'transmitter' on the right side of her face, near the jaw. The male receiver is asked if he felt anything, and he indicates that there was a feeling IN THE SAME PLACE ON THE JAW!!! No one ever comes near or touches the male receiver's face, it's real magic. The effect is repeated with the female being tapped on the arm, and the male points to the same spot, with no possible knowledge of it. Next, there is an object accidentally dropped by the female transmitter. When it gently bumps the side of her leg, HE FEELS IT, in the same spot!!! SLAMDOWN features a row of seven upside-down styrofoam cups that have been visible throughout the show. An audience member is purely, randomly selected. Jimmy informs everyone that there are six sharpened objects pointing straight up under six of the cups, and only one cup is safely empty. He waves his hands back and forth along the row of cups, and the audience member yells out stop at any time. Then, the audience member freely selects the hand to be slammed down. Immediately, and with no extra prompting or byplay, Jimmy SLAMS DOWN his bare hand over the selected cup, and he walks away, completely unharmed. The audience is relieved at first, but they still have not seen the objects under the other cups. After a bit of guilt-tripping and begging, the cups are all lifted, displaying the sharp, upright objects, in place, just as described. Jaws drop, and the audience is once again FLOORED!!! Enlightened is a miracle! Jimmy requests an audience member to obtain any common, white light bulb. They cradle it on their hand, and Jimmy places his empty hands near the bulb. His loosely held fingers touch the bulb, and it begins to glow, illuminated, to the surprised gasps of a bewildered audience. Even the person helping is amazed! One of the most memorable effects of any presentation is the devastatingly pure Book Test. This one leaves the engineers and skeptics BAFFLED!!! When working house parties, libraries, or any event where there is a completely unprepared large number of books, Jimmy does the impossible... any audience member is asked to get any two books from anywhere in the house. They check to make sure that the books are not picture books, and the spectator makes a free selection of one of the books. The book is randomly flipped through, and the spectator yells out 'stop.' The page number is noted, and the spectator finds that page in the other book that she is holding. From several feet away, with no way to see the book, Jimmy reveals what words are written within a chosen paragraph on the page. Due to the directness and complete fairness of this effect, audiences go wild over this one! Jimmy is the inventor of the internationally acclaimed effect called Standing Between Objects. Another audience member writes the name of ANY OBJECT on the back of his own business card, using his own pen, from across the room from Jimmy. Jimmy's thoughts go immediately to the business card that is held folded, in the audience member's fist behind his back. Jimmy gives the impression, the idea, the image, as the word begins to materialize in his mind... he psychically reveals the name of the object!!! There is NO POSSIBLE EXPLANATION!!! What could be more impossible? Well, that would be if he were to do this, but with 3 audience members and NO writing or other props or interaction of any kind. Another Jimmy Fingers creation is Free Will of Order. A prediction is written on the back of a business card. The audience member is asked to select from 3 different, ordinary items... A pen, a watch and a coin. The prediction reveals that you knew EXACTLY what, where and how everything would be done. This one is another highly requested effect, and it will stump even the most skeptical engineers and scientists! NEW, just added to his larger shows, at no additional cost, Jimmy can read the minds of 3 audience members, without the help of props or ANY preshow setup or preparation. A Sharp, Sudden Blow to the Head is an absolute miracle, and one of the greatest mentalism effects of all time. The three audience members are selected and seated side by side on stage. The first person selected is asked to imagine a shape, the next is asked to mentally consider a vacation destination, and the last is told to randomly select, in their mind, an unimportant date during the year. Without prompting or any help from props or participants, Jimmy reveals the thoughts of the three spectators, with the accuracy and precision of gunshots, without hesitation or lack of clarity. They verify the accuracy of the results by returning to their seats, surrounded by a theater full of spectators with their JAWS in their own LAPS!!! An amazing, clever, subtle and diabolical effect requiring no preshow arrangements, props, research or coaching... THIS one is pure MAGIC! The Magellan Levitation is the finale of every Jimmy Fingers presentation. Jimmy levitates upwards, almost a foot and a half! This is regarded by experts in the magic world as the greatest self levitation EVER!!! This thrills audiences beyond belief! No act in the world features more original, inimitable entertainment than Jimmy Fingers! What do the world's greatest magicians say about Jimmy? "I can always depend on Jimmy to totally rock our WONDERGROUND nightclub in Las Vegas. He amazes and mystifies the worlds greatest magicians. Jimmy is one of the top creative minds in the world of magic making!" - Jeff McBride, star of World's Greatest Magic and television's Celebracadabra! "Jimmy Fingers gave a wonderfully amazing performance." - Eugene Burger, expert magician, mentalist, and author. "Jimmy Fingers is different! A unique, original and edgy approach to magic with unique, original and edgy tricks. Gentlemen, something must be done!" - Whit 'Pop' Haydn, internationally recognized star of magic, and Magic Castle regular "Wow! Jimmy Fingers really made me laugh!" - Mac King, long-running star of Las Vegas show, and the only magician to appear in ALL of the World's Greatest Magic TV specials "Jimmy Fingers' approach to mentalism is laughable. The good thing is, it's supposed to be!" - Max Maven, world renowned mentalist and author "Jimmy Fingers rocked the crowd again with his wonderful original material...Jimmy Fingers was the official #1 hit of TAOM 2010!

    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.

No part of this book may be reproduced in any form, without the prior written permission of the author. INTRODUCTION "It’s kind of fun to do the impossible." -- Walt Disney Just who and what is The Magic Lawyer®1? I’m asked that question quite a bit. It is a persona, a brand, and a real person, all in one. It is what happened when law mixed with magic. It is what a perfect stranger remembers when they see my card in their wallet months after we met. It is the hope that my clients have that, no matter how bad their situation is, they know that their lawyer is doing his best “magic” for them in court. It represents a refreshing way to practice law - - a way that reminds the client that life can be fun, no matter what happened to them, or why they are in their current situation. It is also a really cool way to market Robert Speer, Attorney at Law. When I was about ten years old, my dad let me travel with him when he made his sales calls around the southeast. On our travels, we would always look forward to stopping at one of the Stuckey’s gas stations along the road. Stuckey’s gas stations are long gone, but my memory of them, and my dad, are not. In Stuckey’s, you could always find a rack of tricks and pranks made by the S.S.

    [email protected] Sherman, Texas ‐ Lawrence Hass is professor of humanities at Austin College. He also has an international reputation as a sleight of hand magician and holds the position of associate dean of Jeff McBride’s Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas. Dr. Hass came to Austin College in July of 2009 when his wife Dr. Marjorie Hass became the College’s 15th president. Prior to this, he was professor of philosophy and theatre arts at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he was an award‐winning teacher of philosophy and theatre, specializing in phenomenology, aesthetics, magic performance, and the history and philosophy of magic. During his 18‐year tenure at Muhlenberg College, Dr. Hass founded and directed the “Theory and Art of Magic” program—a college‐level co‐curricular program that was dedicated to the study and appreciation of the magical arts. From 1999 to 2009, the “Theory and Art of Magic” program featured performances, talks, and lectures by such world‐leading stars of magic as David Blaine, Eugene Burger, Roberto Giobbi, Max Howard, René Lavand, Max Maven, Jeff McBride, Robert E. Neale, Jim Steinmeyer, Juan Tamariz, and Teller (among many others). By the end of its 11‐year run, the “Theory and Art of Magic” program was drawing attendees—magicians, students, and scholars of magic—from all over the country and internationally. As an outgrowth of the program, Dr. Hass founded Theory and Art of Magic Press in 2007 to publish books, DVDs, and other materials that would connect with people wanting to perform and think about magic in a deeper way.

  • With Jason Andrews
    Anthony Darkstone Brook In Conversation With Jason Andrews Over the last months of 2009, Nick Lewin and I wrote several words praising the skill & performances of a young Magician in his early 20’s. That Magician’s name is Jason Andrews. Channing Pollock, Joanie Spina, Jeff McBride, Johnny Thompson and a whole Host of other top names in our business also rate Jason extremely highly. Ordinarily when reference is made to a “young” Magician it can sometimes be interpreted as a mite patronizing but I make the point in this instance to convey the exceptional and outstanding talent that Jason possesses ; he has the smoothness of performance and skill that usually only comes from decades of performing experience. His Stage presence is mesmerizing and without a doubt a gift from the Gods of Theater. Jason has taken that gift and honed it into outstanding skill. I lecture, consult & instruct on the Performance & Presentation of Magic. I have had the honor and privilege to be a judge at Magic contests alongside such names as Kendrick “Ice” McDonald, Rod Chow and Jon Racherbaumer. I therefore, do not lavish praise lightly. However, when it is earned and truly merited I do not hold back either; hence my praise of Jason Andrews. I have seen him perform over the last couple years and more recently at The Harmon Theatre in Vegas. Anyone who has been there will know that it is an “in“ place and not on the tourist maps. The audiences there are 98% made up of experienced Performers (mostly those working in Vegas).
