  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • Ray Goulet by David Goodsell
    Heart and Soul a Collector! Ray Goulet By David Goodsell The wonderful things about a personal tour of Ray Goulet’s Mini Magic Musuem are the stories, the personal details about who previously owned the items and how Ray came to acquire them. Ray showed me three coin wands from the late 1800s. “I got these about 15 years ago from the estate of John Brown Cook, a great amateur magician who lived in New York City. He was great friends with Vernon, Carlyle, Slydini, and everyone else in New York. Cook was very wealthy and owned two Mercedes automobiles, with vanity plates that said Mr. Cook and Mrs. Cook.” Holding the wands in what can only be described as “with affection,” Ray continued. “All three are the same,” he told me, “but one is nickel plated, the second brass and the third a kind of gray, treated metal with black tips. I am familiar with Brema’s work and am pretty sure they were made by him. This looks like his work. These wands used 1800s half dollars, and look, the original half dollars are still in them – 1867, and 1889.” That is the icing on the collector’s cake! Turning toward the huge Houdini Master Mystifier “Bur- ied Alive” poster on the south wall, Ray rested his hand on the post of an upright frame holding well over a dozen small frames of glass, tilted in opposition, zig-zagging down the center of the frame. On top of the frame was a top hat. Picking up a goblet containing several coins, Ray explained how it worked.
