  • Pressive Cast of Thinkers and Performers
    Table of Contents Long Synopsis Short Synopsis Michael Caplan Biography Key Production Personnel Filmography Credit List Magicians & Scholars Cover design by Lara Marsh, Illustration by Michael Pajon A Magical Vision /Long Synopsis ______________________________________________________ A Magical Vision spotlights Eugene Burger, a far-sighted philosopher and magician who is considered one of the great teachers of the magical arts. Eugene has spent twenty-five years speaking to magicians, academics, and the general public about the experience of magic. Advocating a return to magic’s shamanistic, healing traditions, Eugene’s “magic tricks” seek to evoke feelings of awe and transcendence, and surpass the Las Vegas-style entertainment so many of us visualize when we think of magicians. Mentors and colleagues have emerged throughout Eugene’s globe-trotting career. Among them is Jeff McBride, a recognized innovator of contemporary magic, and Max Maven, a one-man-show who performs a unique brand of “mind magic” to audiences worldwide. Lawrence Hass created the world’s first magic program in a liberal arts setting, where his seminar has attracted an impressive cast of thinkers and performers. The film, however, is Eugene’s journey. It began in 1940s Chicago, a city already renowned as the center of classic magic performance. Yale Divinity School followed, leading Eugene to the world of Asian mysticism. From there came the creation of Hauntings, a tribute to the sprit theatre of the 19th century, and the gore of the Bizarre Magick movement. Today Eugene’s performances and lectures draw inspiration from the mythology of India to the Buddhism of magical theory. On this stage, the magicians and thinkers open doors to an astounding world, a world that we rarely take time to see.

  • 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.

  • Mentalism Mastery
    Mentalism Mastery To be proficient in the area of mentalism one must demonstrate the illusion of extraordinary cognitive, sensory or mental abilities. These must be demonstrated in an entertaining manner and work together thematically as an “act.” The performer may use any real-world performable means at his disposal. His methods may consist of pre-show work, sleight of hand techniques, electronics, as well as gimmicks to achieve his goal. If the performer is performing a one-person act, any stooges must be of the impromptu variety; i.e. unknowing audience stooges. This is not to imply that two-performer acts are discouraged, only that the use of secret confederates is not permitted. The mentalist must take a minimal approach to props. Any props used should be as innocent looking as possible. Audience members should be allowed to hold and examine as many of the props as possible. Since the mentalist is supposed to be a mind reader, his props should not lend themselves to suspicion and they should stand up to reasonable scrutiny. Of course, the mentalism must be strong enough to fool an intelligent layman. However, not only must the effect be strong, but it should be properly paced and sufficiently interesting to command attention. A good trick, presented in a drawn out and boring manner, will not be considered mastery. By the same token, an entertaining premise that fails to deliver a convincing demonstration of mental powers will not indicate mastery of the subject. While skilled sleight of hand is not necessarily required to earn the mental mastery award, there are skills that will be judged.

  • As We Kicked Off the New Millennium, Readers of This
    s we kicked off the new Amillennium, readers of this magazine cast their ballots to elect the ten most influential magicians of the 20th century. Although there were some sur- prises, few could argue with the top two — Harry Houdini and Dai Vernon. While scores of books have been written about Houdini, David Ben has spent the past five years prepar- ing the first detailed biography of Dai Vernon. What follows is a thumbnail sketch of Vernon’s remarkable life, legacy, and con- tribution to the art of magic. BY DAVID BEN Scene: Ottawa admired performers such as T.

  • 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.
