Dai Vernon is a resident of New York City, and The is trying, at the urging of his friend and patron, Garrick Spencer, to develop a stage act. As Vernon continued to waffle and drift, some of his staunchest allies start- ed to waver. Paul Fox, whose personal life had taken its own turn for the worse with the onslaught of arthritis in the hand that guided much of his engrav- ing work wrote to Faucett Ross, “I think it smells to high heaven the way Dai has been about the ‘act’ with all the splendid backing from pessimism may have been rooted in his Spencer.” Fox suggested in his own lack of confidence, the notion that missives to Ross that history he and Vernon were, in many respects, indicated that it is not what you two of a kind — magicians who do, but how you do it. believed that the magic should be just The most successful perform- as mesmerizing as the personality of the ers, performers like Malini and performer.

The Real Magic Behind the Performance James Anthony Issitt
Performing Miracles: The real magic behind the performance James Anthony Issitt BA(Hons) Drama with English (St. John’s College, University of Leeds) MA Text and Performance (King’s College, University of London and RADA) Word Count: 44,101 Doctor of Philosophy Lancaster University (University of Cumbria) May 2020 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract James Anthony Issitt BA(Hons) Drama with English (St. John’s College, University of Leeds) MA Text and Performance (King’s College, University of London and RADA) Performing Miracles: The real magic behind the performance Word Count: 44,101 Doctor of Philosophy Lancaster University (University of Cumbria) May 2020 Whilst the study of magic, for many years, has examined the mechanics of legerdemain there remains the need for a reflective analytical and pedagogical framework that can be utilised for the exposition and development of the close-up magician’s practice. As a premise, if there are two magicians, Magician A has the best sleight of hand in the world but lacking in performance skills; and Magician B can competently execute ten tricks but has excellent performance – to the layperson, who is the better magician? This text synthesises the theories of magic and performance, in order to create a new analytical tool for the improvement of the skills of the close-up magician. It takes Kowzan’s (1968) 13 Point System as its basis to formulate a new analytical tool. The Issitt 12-point System can be used to analyse a performance of close-up magic and assist in the teaching of performance skills. -
