  • Jon Racherbaumer There Are Not Many People Who Have Been
    Anthony Darkstone In Conversation With ….. Jon Racherbaumer There are not many people who have been gifted with the skills of a brilliant writer. Even fewer people have the talent to write about magic and magicians. Jon Racherbaumer knows how to use words. He knows a great deal about magic and magicians. When it comes to writing about magic and magicians Jon Racherbaumer is the acknowledged leader. His name is well known to the magic world and hence also to the readers of The Linking Ring, m-u-m, Magic and Genii. He has written almost 70 books, and to date, well over a million meaningful words on magic. He has the unique ability and genius to make the esoteric understandable. He is, without any doubt, one of the most prolific writers on magic. With the excellent use of language and vocabulary he brings passion and value to our ancient art. I am honoured to be on the same Panel of Advisors with him on the magic web channel and it was a distinct honour for me to be on the close-up panel of judges with him at The Society of American Magicians 2001 convention in his home town of New Orleans. I am proud to be his friend and number 1 fan. I have had the privilege of spending fun times with Jon and I enjoy referring to him as The Thesaurus. He has always been a great source of inspiration to me and I'm indebted to him for several reasons – much too many to list. I am delighted & honored to share one of our many conversations.

  • On the Cognitive Bases of Illusionism: an Untapped Tool for Brain and Behavioral Research
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 2 January 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202001.0011.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at PeerJ 2020, 8, e9712; doi:10.7717/peerj.9712 On the Cognitive Bases of Illusionism: An Untapped Tool for Brain and Behavioral Research Jordi Camí1*, Alex Gomez-Marin2 and Luis M. Martínez3 1 Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona 2 Behavior of Organisms Laboratory, Instituto de Neurociencias CSIC-UMH, Alicante 3 Visual Analogy Laboratory, Instituto de Neurociencias CSIC-UMH, Alicante * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Cognitive scientists have paid very little attention to magic as a distinctly human activity capable of creating situations or events that are considered impossible because they violate expectations and conclude with the apparent transgression of well-established cognitive and natural laws. And even though magic techniques appeal to all known cognitive processes from sensing, attention and perception to memory and decision making, the relation between science and magic has so far been mostly unidirectional, with the primary goal of unraveling how magic works. Building up from the deconstruction of a classic magic trick, we provide here a cognitive foundation for the use of magic as a unique and largely untapped research tool to dissect cognitive processes in tasks arguably more natural than those usually exploited in artificial laboratory settings. Magicians can submerge every spectator into the precise experimental protocol they have previously designed, accounting with ease for both circumstantial and social contexts. Magicians do not base the success of their experiments in statistical measures that smear out the individual in favor of an average spectator that we know never exists in the real world.

  • Introduction
    Anthony Darkstone Brook In Conversation With Steve Dacri Steve Dacri and I have been friends for many years and had many common interests apart from Magic. I was fortunate to know him quite well and to get to know the Steve behind the Performer and Showbiz star. Sadly, he left us in February 2011. Just a few days before his demise we were talking on the phone and as usual we were joking about topics that amused us. It was a huge shock to hear that he had suddenly passed away. I owe him a lot and he was a close family friend. This was the first sit down public chat we had published. Else where, in this section , we have another. Due to contractual commitments I could not attend his memorial service in Vegas but my tribute was read at the service. It is fitting that I include it at the end of this article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steve Dacri is very cool. I know it’s not cool to say cool any more but it is the word that describes him perfectly. Nothing fazes him. Well, not so that anyone would notice. He is truly 100% professional. Jon Racherbaumer, who is a mutual friend of ours, once told me that the true essence of magic is a magician who possesses the ultimate skill. What is the ultimate skill? Simply put, it is the ability to disguise the technical skill within the performance. It is the ability to cause an audience not just to suspend its dis-belief but to totally become so wrapped up in watching the performance that they forget it is a trick.

I recall his habit of rehearsing the cups and balls on an partner Regina what at the moment of his demise could be almost daily basis. He had no intention of working this before seen as a collection of the most important kind, a monument an audience himself; he simply saw the trick as the open sesame to such a career and a repository of objects that fed his thought to understanding almost all you need to know about the practice processes and fired his enthusiasms.

    Those who impacted the art in America We begin a year-long review of significant people on the American panorama of magic during the 100-year period known as the 20th century. It is by no means a chronology' of the successes. failures, or the evolution of the craft within this time frame. Instead. it is a month-to-month enumeration of those people who - in some eventful or consequential way - have influenced. shaped. or impacted the performing art of magic in the United States of America. Embodied will be the celebrities as well as the amateur. trailblazers and stvle-setters. teachers and artisans. the inventive. the literate. and the legendary. as well as an eccentric or two. Certain contemporaries have had insuffient years to assert their influence. therefore. they will not likely appear. Each month. ten or so of magic’s significant will be saluted. There will be no ranking of the file as each cadre proudly passes in review. As the year’s end nears. and when the procession of 100 reaches its culmination. top honors and decorations will be bestowed. Our readers will be invited to select the //e plus ultra of those who most impacted the art in this century. It has been written that the history of the 20th Century actually begins in the 1870s, with the advent of the Technological Revolution. If true, it’s conceivable that Modern Magic, first published as a volume in 1876, is prologue to magic literature of the 1900s. The first edition of 2,000 copies of Modern Magic sold out in Great Britain within six weeks.
