Discovery Channel DISCOVERY CHANNEL HIGHLIGHTS DECEMBRE 2014 DYNAMO : MAGICIEN DE L’IMPOSSIBLE (DYNAMO 4) INÉDIT – 4X60’ Le mois de la magie A partir du Mercredi 10 Décembre à 20h45 (jusqu’au 31 Décembre) A 31 ans, l’anglais Steven Fraye est plus connu sous le nom de Dynamo. Depuis trois saisons, ce magicien de l’impossible parcourt le monde à la rencontre de stars internationales ou d’inconnus croisés dans la rue. Il n’a peur de personne et prend un malin plaisir à piéger et à impressionner les participants lors de ses tours de passe-passe. Sa série éponyme, récompensée à de multiples reprises, revient pour une quatrième saison pleine de surprises et de magie ! Des Etats-Unis à l’Inde, en passant par la France et l’Angleterre, Dynamo part à la rencontre des groupes Coldplay et One Direction, des chanteurs britanniques Sam Smith et Foxes lors du festival Parklife à Manchester mais également de la star du cinéma bollywoodien Irfan Khan. Pénétrez le monde hors-norme de Dynamo et découvrez un garçon ordinaire menant une vie extraordinaire ! STREET MAGIC (TROY) INÉDIT – 5X60’ Le mois de la magie A partir du Mercredi 10 Décembre à 21h35 (jusqu’au 7 Janvier) Oubliez la cape et la baguette magique ! Du haut de ses 24 ans, casquette vissée sur la tête, Troy ressemble à un jeune homme ordinaire. Mais contrairement aux apparences, il est l’un des magiciens les plus talentueux du Royaume-Uni. Partez à sa rencontre dans les rues londoniennes où il s’amuse à pieger les passants. Depuis l’âge de 12 ans, Troy perfectionne ses tours avec des objets de la vie quotidienne. Dans cette toute nouvelle série, il piège un vendeur de lunettes, prédit l’avenir avec les « Fortune Cookies » d’un restaurant chinois, hypnotise un fan de football avec le maillot de ce dernier, transforme le mannequin d’une boutique en véritable être humain… Street Magic est une émission intimiste de magie dans laquelle Troy vous fait pénétrer son univers, vous présente sa famille et réalise ses numéros dans des endroits qu’il connaît bien : son barbier, son salon de tatouage, sa maison ou encore l’ancien magasin de vêtements où il travaillait. SIBERIAN CUT INÉDIT – 9X60’ A partir du Lundi 1 Décembre à 21h35 (jusqu’au 2 Février) En Sibérie, dans l’une des forêts les plus grandes, les plus froides et les plus inhospitalières du monde, huit gaillards ont décidé d’y faire fortune. Pour cela, ils vont devoir braver des températures glaciales et surtout survivre tous ensemble. Formée d’américains et de russes, l’équipe va devoir surmonter une décennie de différents politiques afin d’amasser assez d’argent pour changer leurs vies. Suivez le bucheron américain Sean Vann dans sa nouvelle aventure. Après 17 ans au service de la Russian Forestry Industry, il a décidé d’investir toutes ses économies pour tenter l’expérience sibérienne. Avec la récession, la flambée des prix du carburant et les restrictions sévères du gouvernement américain, la Russie est une terre promise. Sean a trois mois pour couper du bois, faire fonctionner sa nouvelle entreprise et devenir alors, maître de sa propre destinée. TSUNAMI, DIX ANS APRÈS (AFTER THE WAVE) INÉDIT – 1X90’ Le Vendredi 26 Décembre à 21h35 Le tsunami de 2004, au lendemain de Noel, a été l’une des plus grandes catastrophes naturelles des temps modernes, tuant plus de 228 000 personnes dans 13 pays en quelques heures seulement. Ce jour là, les côtes de l’Indonésie, du Sri Lanka, de l’Inde et de la Thailande sont le théâtre d’une collision catastrophique entre la nature et l’homme. Tsunami, dix ans après revient sur la vaste opération judiciaire menée en Thailande pour identifier et rendre aux familles les corps de plus de 5000 victimes du tsunami : locaux et vacanciers venus profiter des plages ensoleillées pour les vacances de Noel. Dirigés par une équipe d’experts australiens, les spécialistes de la médecine légale venus des quatre coins du monde se sont lancés dans une course contre la montre pour identifier des victimes. Ce documentaire revient sur ces deux années de travail acharné et méticuleux mais présente aussi une analyse sur la réaction et la coopération de la communauté internationale après une catastrophe si extrême.

  • Dynamo Theory Then and Now
    PERGAMON International Journal of Engineering Science 36 (1998) 1325±1338 Dynamo theory then and now Gary A. Glatzmaier a, Paul H. Roberts b aLos Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, U.S.A. bUniversity of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, U.S.A. Abstract A brief history of dynamo theory is presented, from its earliest beginnings, through the development of successful kinematic models (those in which only the electrodynamic equations are solved), up to the present time when fully magnetohydrodynamic simulations have successfully reproduced the main features of the Earth's magnetic ®eld. A particular focus of this paper is the role of the solid inner core of the Earth on the dynamics of its ¯uid core. Some new results are presented concerning the age and topography of the inner core. # 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. The kinematic geodynamo Although it has been known for many centuries that the Earth is magnetic [1±3], the reason for this, and for many puzzling features of the Earth's magnetic ®eld, have been convincingly explained only during the present century. The key was the discovery in 1906 that the Earth possesses a ¯uid core [4]. To be sure, the curious time scales of the ®eld, long compared with those of the atmosphere and oceans, but short compared with geological processes, had suggested to people like Halley [5] and Hansteen [6] that ¯uid motions within the Earth must somehow be involved, but nothing was certain until 1906. The density of the ¯uid core, deduced from seismological observations, ranges from 9904 kg m3 at the top to 12166 kg m3 at the bottom [7].

  • Strange Ceremonies”
    54 “Strange Ceremonies”: Creating Imaginative Spaces in Bizarre Magick NIK TAYLOR The guests are seated in the study … The Mage explains that one of the most powerful of the Old Gods is Pan, the Guardian of the Woodlands. “If one is fortunate, the Horned One will grant their innermost wishes. However, if one’s presence offends him in any way, only the most hideous and frightful fate will befall them.” (The Great God Pan 20) The above is an excerpt from The Great God Pan written by Tony Raven in 1974 and further revised in 1982. It is a performance magic piece designed to shift the imaginations of the guests out of the magician’s study, where the piece is set, and (re)locate the imaginative experience within fictional realms of fantasy and horror. For the duration of the performance, the imaginative space inhabited by the guests is ambiguous in that it is neither real nor unreal but rather a boundary space where real magic may exist. This article discusses how performance magicians experiment with a creative form known as Bizarre Magick, which, by borrowing from themes within popular fiction, allows them to take their audience on an experiential journey through fictional, fantastic and magical landscapes. The article will examine a threefold relocation through the practice of Bizarre Magick; the physical re-embodiment of the performance space, the relocation of the audience’s awareness into places where the distinctions between fact and fiction are blurred, the shift from the performance of a stage magician to the idea that the practitioner is a genuine mage, demonstrating real magic.

  • Derren Brown: Svengali at the Lowry
    Derren Brown: Svengali at The Lowry Derren Brown: Svengali at The Lowry Reviewed by Georgina Kirk March 2012 In an age of scepticism, the immense popularity of psychological illusionist Derren Brown may appear to run counter to the Zeitgeist. Yet it’s actually his extraordinary skill at tuning into the beliefs and doubts of a spiritually confused nation that has brought him to his current position as one of Britain’s most acclaimed and revered entertainers. Svengali, Derren’s fifth live stage show taken on national tour, is playing to packed houses for a full week (5th-10th March) in the large auditorium at Salford’s Lowry Theatre. And it’s returning, by popular demand, for two further shows in May. Despite the recent resurgence of interest in more mainstream magic, no conjuror would be able to fill theatres up and down the country night after night, month after month, the way Derren does. 1 / 3 Derren Brown: Svengali at The Lowry What is it about mentalism that resonates with the public psyche? Although Paul Daniels is a household name and although the new generation of magicians, such as Dynamo, are changing the image of conjuring, making magic ‘cool’, there persists a widespread misconception that magic is for children. Perhaps mentalism is more readily accepted as adult entertainment. Or maybe it’s more subtle than that. I love a good conjuring show (Hallowe’en 2009 at Simon Drake’s House of Magic remains one of the highlights of my life) and, secretly, I prefer it to mentalism. For me, the joy of watching objects and people vanish, change shape, dissolve, appear, levitate in front of my eyes is that it connects me with my inner child, reminds me of a time when I used to believe nothing was impossible.
