Jan :: Something About Magic
Jan. 2019 // Magic Pop-Up // Something About Magic And Magician Culture by Geoff Kanick magic sleight-of-hand prestidigitation conjuring There are different ways to define it. How do you define it? The power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. Teller defined it as: The theatrical linking of a cause with an effect that has no basis in physical reality, but that — in our hearts — ought to. I asked my 4 year old niece Coco what magic is and she said, “A lot…and none.” Which might be the most profound answer. There are many categories of magic: Close-up magic Stage magic Illusions, which are sometimes called Big Box Magic There’s parlor magic Mentalism… which some mentalists argue is not magic Street magic Bizarre magic Mathemagic Card magic Coin magic Comedy magic Kids magic Gospel magic Quick Change Acts Manipulation Acts Cardistry Escapology Pickpocket Routines Impromptu Magic There are people rooted in the traditions of the Spanish school of magic. Jan. 2019 // Magic Pop-Up Others who look to the teachings of Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller. There are lectures and conventions, big conventions where more than 1000 magicians gather and fill an expo hall with magic and vendors and late night jam sessions. Some magicians call them tricks, some call them effects, or illusions. There are debates whether to use a push off or a strike.

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. -
