    Magic Moments Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin (1805-1871) was the most famous of all French magicians, for he is considered the world over as the father of modern conjuring. Jean’s père sent his eleven-year-old son up the Loire to the University of Orléans (not to be confused with UNO) to prepare for a career as a lawyer. But his son wanted to become a watchmaker like his dad, and these skills trained him in all things mechanical. The first magician to use electricity, Houdin was sent to Algeria in 1856 by the French government to combat the influence of the dervishes by duplicating their feats - a real whirlwind tour. His books helped explain the art of magic to countless aficionados: his autobiography (1857), Confidences d’un prestidigitateur (1859), and Les Secrets de la prestidigitation et de la magie (1868). One such devotee was arguably the most renowned illusionist and escape artist in history. Born in Hungary in 1874 as Erich Weiss, he adopted the name Harry Houdini as a teenager after having read Houdin’s autobiography. Performing twenty shows a day, the young wizard was soon taking home twelve dollars a week. Before long he was an international success, and he would bring this magic moxie to the Crescent City on more than one occasion. It was pouring rain that day in downtown New Orleans, November 17, 1907, when a crowd of nearly 10,000 people gathered along the wharves near the Canal Street ferry landing to witness Houdini triple- manacled for a death-defying plunge into the Mississippi River.

No part of this book may be reproduced in any form, without the prior written permission of the author. INTRODUCTION "It’s kind of fun to do the impossible." -- Walt Disney Just who and what is The Magic Lawyer®1? I’m asked that question quite a bit. It is a persona, a brand, and a real person, all in one. It is what happened when law mixed with magic. It is what a perfect stranger remembers when they see my card in their wallet months after we met. It is the hope that my clients have that, no matter how bad their situation is, they know that their lawyer is doing his best “magic” for them in court. It represents a refreshing way to practice law - - a way that reminds the client that life can be fun, no matter what happened to them, or why they are in their current situation. It is also a really cool way to market Robert Speer, Attorney at Law. When I was about ten years old, my dad let me travel with him when he made his sales calls around the southeast. On our travels, we would always look forward to stopping at one of the Stuckey’s gas stations along the road. Stuckey’s gas stations are long gone, but my memory of them, and my dad, are not. In Stuckey’s, you could always find a rack of tricks and pranks made by the S.S.

Ravenswood Ave. -Suite 116- Chicago, Illinois 60617 Introduction ollywood became the center of the magic world in 1963. That year, Dai Vernon, known to Hmagicians world wide as “The Professor,” moved to California. On arrival, Vernon took up residence at the Magic Castle, where he would remain a fixture for the next 25 years — and become an icon. From the Castle flowed Vernon’s dictum of natural magic; he avowed deep study of the art as a route to perfection. These and other mantras he would impart both through the written word and in person, to countless associates, fans and students. In 1964, a Midwestern sleight-of-hand artist, Bruce Cervon, also moved west. Southern California, he’d been assuredd, was the nexus of all things magical. The Magic Castle was the place to perform close-up magic. And Vernon was there. Almost immediately upon their initial meeting, Cervon and Vernon developed a strong, important friendship and student/teacher relationship. From their sessions came weighty ideas, concepts and published works: most prominently, Cervon’s Castle Notebooks and The Vernon Chronicles.
