It was evident, early on, that this collection would benefitanyone serious about getting serious in magic. So here we are. Thanks to all the generous magicians who have allowed me to include their work in this collection. I am overwhelmed by the support they have shown. In particular, I wish to single out Darwin Ortiz, whose writings I admire greatly, and who went against a personal policy, and agreed to participate. I consider it a favor to me, and a favor to all those who will learn from his writings. Thanks, Darwin, for being flexible and generous. Thanks to Stephen Minch, whose encouragement and “pull” helped initiate the project. Irving Quant helped with the translation of “Fundamentals of Illusionism” by Juan Tamariz. Denis Behr suggested a few essays I was not familiar with.

As you read these stories about the lives of our members, you will understand that the real magic in their lives are their relationships with family and friends, and their connection to humanity.

  • Magic in the Classroom: Using Conjuring to Teach Selectivity and General Semantics
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 375 453 CS 508 727 AUTHOR Frasier, C. Jay TITLE Magic in the Classroom: Using Conjuring To Teach Selectivity and General Semantics. PUB DATE 15 Apr 93 NOTE 24p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Central States Communication Association (Lexington, KY, April 14-18, 1993). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Guides Classroom Use Teaching Guides (For Teacher)(052) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Class Activities; *Communication (Thought Transfer); Higher Education; *Instructional Innovation; Learning Strategies; *Semantics; Undergraduate Students IDENTIFIERS Communication Behavior; General Semantics Paradigm (Korzybski); *Magic ABSTRACT Communication teachers can use magic in the classroom to teach the selective nature of the communication process and principles of general semantics. Since magic "works" due to perceptual limitations, selective perception can be illustrated through various magic effects. Magical effects where the secret is apparent to everyone in the class except for one member can show the students that an individual's perception is limited and selective. Several principles of general semantics, including "nonallness" and "nonidentity," can similarly be illustrated through the use of select magic effects. The three best ways that teachers can learn magic that can be used in the classroom are from books, from video tapes, and from personal instruction. Some teachers might desire to start performing magic in their classes but hesitate to do so. Magic is a novel, fun, and interesting way to gain students' attention, to keep their attention focused on the subject matter of the class, and to teach them something in the process. (Contains 37 references.) (RS) *********************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.
