  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

It was pages of this book for the first time. I was hesitant to add good for me to read it. I plan to this work to the vast cacophony of magic literature. I am read it again. I believe the not well-known among magicians, nor do I pretend to be insights he shares has the power any sort of expert; and to publish your knowledge and to raise your own performances opinion is to invite the scorn and rebuttal of many. But to yet another level. With his permission, I share a too many of my close friends and the nudge of my portion of the book's introduction with you. conscience have pushed me to produce the work which you hold in your hands. To start out, I would like to explain my intentions. When Maskelyne and Devant published Our Magic in 1911, they urged magicians to recognize the importance of being original in magic. “Without originality,” they said, “no man can become a great artist.” Their efforts paid off. Today, magicians almost universally accept the importance of originality. Just as Maskelyne observed over one hundred years ago, magicians tend to seek after originality in one of three ways.

We had 29 in the seats and three guests, Dr. Ken Schreibman, Jim Duel and Bill Jensen. Bev Bergeron’s “Teach-in” was on his home-made sight gag, the tape measure watch. He showed how to make it and gave us some great lines, “It’s a foot and a half after 3 o- clock”. President Matson did another of his “Theory and Thaumaturgy lectures on rethinking the Hot Rod force. He explained some verbal lines to eliminate the weaknesses of the technique. He also applied the principle to forcing envelopes. Phil Schwartz, resident magic historian explained that the day of the meeting, July 18th, was Floyd Thayer’s 144th birthday and showed his book, The Ultimate Thayer. He then presented Magic History Moment # 94 on Jose Frakson, The Man of 100 Cigarettes. Frakson was born Jose Jimenez Savilla in Madrid in 1891.

  • Bob Dorian, Actor and Magician Who Introduced Classic Films on AMC, Dies at 85
    The Washington Post Obituaries Bob Dorian, actor and magician who introduced classic films on AMC, dies at 85 By Harrison Smith June 24 Bob Dorian, an actor, magician and avuncular movie buff who presented more than 10,000 classic films, B-movie serials and pre-Code Hollywood gems as the first prime-time host of American Movie Classics, died June 15. He was 85, although he often said he preferred to give his age by way of film history, declaring that he was “born between ‘Flying Down to Rio’ and ‘Top Hat.’ ” His daughter Melissa Dorian confirmed the death but did not say precisely where or how he died, noting that the family prepared only a two-line obituary in keeping with his desire for privacy. Mr. Dorian performed on the stage, radio, television and occasionally on film, appearing in two movies by one of his favorite contemporary directors, Woody Allen, and lending his voice to Sam Raimi’s 1981 horror classic “The Evil Dead,” as an archaeologist whose tape-recorded readings from an ancient text summon demonic spirits to a cabin in the woods. Bespectacled and bushy-browed, he began acting at 14; dabbled in stand-up comedy and trapeze-catching at the circus; played the bass in a New York jazz group, the Four Dimensions; and performed mind-reading tricks and other illusions as the Amazing Dorian, sometimes incorporating his wife and three daughters into his act. “Women, cars — you name it and I’ve floated it,” he told The Washington Post in 1991, describing his powers of levitation.

  • The Magic Gang’ Unit to Deceive German Field Marshal Rommel with Fake Tanks, Railway Lines Etc
    In WW II, A British Illusionist Formed ‘The Magic Gang’ Unit To Deceive German Field Marshal Rommel With Fake Tanks, Railway Lines Etc. National Magic Day each year on October 31st recognizes the thrill of seeing the performance art. It takes place during National Magic Week. One of the most renowned magicians was Harry Houdini. Known for his *escapology, Houdini had developed a range of stage magic tricks and made full use of the variety of conjuring techniques, including fake equipment and collusion with individuals in the audience. His show business savvy was as exceptional as his showmanship. Magic Day started with a “Houdini Day”, the first of which took place in the summer of 1927, less than one year after the famous magician’s death. His wife presented a trophy in honour of him on that day. Houdini died at 1:26pm on October 31st, 1926. The Houdini Museum is located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Some magic categories: Stage illusions –a kind of large scale performance on a stage. Parlor magic – a performance before a medium scale audience such as an auditorium. Micromagic – performed close up using coins, cards, and other small items. It’s also known as close-up or table magic. This type of performance occurs in an intimate setting. Escapology – In this type of performance, the artist escapes from a dangerous situation such as being submerged underwater while handcuffed or dangling from a burning rope. Pickpocket magic – A distraction type of performance, the artist, makes watches, jewelry, wallets, and more disappear through misdirection. The audience witnesses the entire event.

    ABOUT STEVE MARTIN Steve Martin was born in 1945 and raised in Inglewood, California. An imaginative youth, Steve nurtured a love for performing at an early age and became a talented musician and magician in college before turning his focus to comedy.

Steve cultivated a small but dedicated fanbase in the 1970s for his stand-up routines, but it wasn’t until his 1976 appearance hosting Saturday Night Live that he became a renown comedian. Following his breakthrough, Steve transitioned from stand-up to acting and cemented a reputation as a blockbuster movie-star with films like The Jerk (1979) and All of Me (1984).
