  • Phil Schwartz Remembers Maskelyne May 2017 Meeting
    Phil Schwartz remembers Maskelyne May 2017 Meeting Posted on May 31, 2017 by Dennis Phillips Ring Report Ring #170 “The Bev Bergeron Ring” SAM Assembly #99 May 2017 Meeting Craig Schwarz called the May Meeting to order with 28 in attendance. Dan Stapleton gave a wrap up to the recent Magicpalooza 2017, Florida State Close Up Contest Convention here in Orlando. The “Day of Magic” Flea Market and lectures is September 9th. Admission is $25. It will be at the Holiday Inn Resort, 13351 State Road 535, Orlando. Bev Bergeron’s Teach-in featured a bag of lapel buttons from a mid-1960s IBM Convention. He was spring cleaning and gave the buttons away during the meeting. He told a humorous story about the button-maker changing the print for “Rabbit in the the Hat” believing that Bev had made a mistake. Phil Schwartz presented Magic History Moment #84 about John Nevil Maskelyne ( 1839-1917) John was later closely associated with his magic partner ,David Devant. Born in Cheltenham, England John Nevil Maskelyne was fascinated with automata in his boyhood and became a watchmaker. With a friend George Cooke , he started a magic club that is said to be the origin of England’s Magic Circle. Repairing a mechanism for a stranger led Maskelyne into understanding the mechanical tricks behind Spiritualism and he developed an act after he learned how the famous Davenport Brothers did their Spirit Cabinet. Maskelyne and Cooke performed before the British Royalty and began a long engagement at St. James Hall in 1873. He moved to The Egyptian Hall and in 1904 to St.

  • SEEING the BIG PICTURE Auclio-VISWU Techniques for Interpreters
    SEEING THE BIG PICTURE Auclio-VISWU Techniques for Interpreters By Mark E. Hundhammer Michael Gross and Ronald Zimmerman, Editors UW-SP FOUNDATION PRESS, INC. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN STEVENS POINT STEVENS POINT, WI 54481 Approved by the Graduate Committee of: Professor of Environmental Interpretation Professor of Environmental Education r. Ron Zimmerman rector of Schmeeckle Reserve Preface This manual is for natural resource_ professionals interested in developing audio-visual programs. It will provide useful information to everybody who wishes to use audio-visual programs to enhance their interpretive efforts. As the challenges of resource management became increasingly demanding, it is imperative that interpreters have the ability to communicate with the public not only the intrigue of the natural world, but the responsibilities of good land stewardship as well. The more interpretive skills you have to share your knowledge of and enthusiasm for the environment with others, the greater our quality ofliving will become. Professionally prepared audio-visual programs can inspire the general public to take a deeper interest in the environment. The manual is organized to allow readers to select part or all of a chapter to meet their audio-visual program needs. The first chapter reminds us that most people learn best when many senses are involved, especially seeing and hearing. Chapter 2 provides a framework for planning audio-visual programs. This serves as a basis for all the other chapters. Chapters 3 - 6 detail how to produce an illustrated talk, an automated slide-sound program, a video, and how to use computers to enhance your interpretive efforts. The methods presented are geared primarily toward those with limited budgets who will produce "in-house" audio-visual programs.

  • 58, January 2020
    Ex Libris by Joaquin Ayala, Ph.D. Hello folks and welcome to the first Ex Libris article for 2020! Happy New Year to you all! My faithful readers will know that each year in January, I consider it a chance to go back to basics, back to the beginning or an elementary level, if you will. As such I always write about a book that is considered a must-read for beginning magicians, but which can also be of use to advanced practitioners. This month we will focus on Mark Wilson’s Complete Course in Magic by Mark Wilson, originally published in 1975 as a large-format, comb-bound book, then again in 1988 as a 472-page hardcover book with a dustjacket. It was published by Ottenheimer Publishers, Inc., for Courage Books. It has since been republished in various sized softcover formats. This is a book that has it all – cards, coins, parlor, close-up, mentalism, illusions, stunts, flourishes and more! There were quite a few famous contributors to this book, including but not limited to the likes of David Roth, Alan Wakeling, Ulysses F. Grant, Don Wayne and others. The effects are all described, followed by the secret and the preparation, the presentation and finally, any additional comments and suggestions. The first major section deals with cards and card magic including definitions of card-related terms (i.e. spot card, court card, etc.), various common shuffles, methods for false shuffles, many effects with normal cards and even some using jumbo cards! There are a great number of flourishes taught such as the Charlier Cut (a.k.a.
