    Ring Report March 2017 Meeting and Dennis' Deliberation

    Ring Report March 2017 Meeting and Dennis’ Deliberation Posted on March 21, 2017 by Dennis Phillips Ring Report Ring #170 “The Bev Bergeron Ring” SAM Assembly #99 March 2017 Meeting President Craig Schwarz brought our monthly meeting to order. We took a moment to remember the late Jim Zachary who recently passed on. Dan Stapleton did an update on this year’s Magicpalooza , the Florida State Magic Convention. This year called the Close-Up Conference and Competition held May 12th -14th at the Orlando/Maitland Sheraton Hotel Member Marty Kane, announced the release of his new book, “Card ChiKanery” which is loaded with great card magic. The Bev Bergeron Teach-in was the classic “Coin Through Handkerchief” which can be found in the Bobo book. Phil Schwartz presented his Magic History Moment #83, a look at his collection of letters between Charles Carter and Floyd Thayer. Carter was a Pennsylvania born illusionist who began touring the U.S. in 1906. He was trained in the legal professor and had an elegant writing style. He bought and later sold to Houdini, the Martinka’s magic business in New York and moved to San Francisco and lived in a grand house. Carter avoided the competition in America and toured his illusion show overseas on five tours until his death in Bombay, India in 1936. Carter had his illusions built by Floyd Thayer’s company in Los Angeles. Phil is a 40-year long Thayer collector and wrote the Ultimate Thayer, a comprehensive history of Thayer’s magic company. In addition to showing us, the correspondence between Carter and Thayer, Phil also showed an original Carter Egyptian theme poster nicknamed “Carter on a Camel.” It was startling to see the low prices that Carter paid Thayer for illusions back in the 1920s and early 1930s until Phil explained that we must multiply the amount by 17 times due to dollar inflation.

    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.

REBUILDING LIVES. COVER IMAGE | Photo Credit: Gina Long Jennifer and her family received services through our outreach and housing programs. (Pg. 13) CHANGING THE NARRATIVE Union Station Homeless Services is committed to changing the narrative when discussing issues of homelessness. We need to stop confusing the issue of homelessness with the people experiencing the issue. Experiencing homelessness is a temporary condition, not a defining characteristic of a person. We must understand the systemic failures and policies that have led to our current crisis while valuing the uniqueness of each person experiencing homelessness. Only then, can we can raise awareness, dispel myths, and truly educate our community about the realities of homelessness. Dear Friends, A LETTER FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR Every day, I am amazed at the great work that is being done at Union Station Homeless Services. We are so fortunate to have a dedicated team of nearly 200 staff and more than 3,300 volunteers who are making the difference. In Pasadena, homelessness is down 20% this year and significantly down by 56% from 10 years ago. In the San Gabriel Valley, we found housing for more than 1,100 people in 2019 with 97% still housed a year later.
