    Ik lieg de waarheid. De beste Kronkels Simon Carmiggelt Editie Sylvia Witteman bron Simon Carmiggelt, Ik lieg de waarheid. De beste Kronkels (ed. Sylvia Witteman). De Arbeiderspers, Amsterdam / Antwerpen 2007 (2de druk) Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/carm002ikli02_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. 9 Woord vooraf Bij ons thuis werd het er al jong ingestampt: Reve, Elsschot en Carmiggelt, daar moest je ruimschoots en foutloos uit kunnen citeren. Wie dat niet kon, of erger nog, deze verafgode schrijvers wel gelezen had maar ‘niet zo leuk’ vond, werd beschouwd als een geestelijk minvermogende, en in ernstige gevallen zelfs van verdere conversatie buitengesloten. Nu was ik een vroegwijze boekenwurm met brilletje, maar De avonden en Lijmen/Het been waren toch voor mijn achtjarig brein moeilijk te verteren. Die lange stukken Frans bij Elsschot alléén al. En met Reves Frits van Egters voelde ik slechts een waakvlammetje van verwantschap toen hij stiekem uit de pan sudderlapjes snoepte. Maar Carmiggelt, daar was geen woord Frans bij. Die boekjes zagen er aantrekkelijk uit, tussen al die moeilijke grotemensenboeken op de kastplanken van mijn ouders. Er stond meestal een vrolijk plaatje op het kaft, en de inhoud was óók al zo geestig. Wat ik niet snapte sloeg ik gewoon over, er was tenslotte genoeg. Ik begon met de verhaaltjes die over dieren gingen. Veel beter dan in de beste kinderboeken beschreef Carmiggelt de overpeinzingen van een verlegen poes, een boze kip (‘Móói hoor, ze jatten hier je eieren’) of een bedroefd paard.

  • Pressive Cast of Thinkers and Performers
    Table of Contents Long Synopsis Short Synopsis Michael Caplan Biography Key Production Personnel Filmography Credit List Magicians & Scholars Cover design by Lara Marsh, Illustration by Michael Pajon A Magical Vision /Long Synopsis ______________________________________________________ A Magical Vision spotlights Eugene Burger, a far-sighted philosopher and magician who is considered one of the great teachers of the magical arts. Eugene has spent twenty-five years speaking to magicians, academics, and the general public about the experience of magic. Advocating a return to magic’s shamanistic, healing traditions, Eugene’s “magic tricks” seek to evoke feelings of awe and transcendence, and surpass the Las Vegas-style entertainment so many of us visualize when we think of magicians. Mentors and colleagues have emerged throughout Eugene’s globe-trotting career. Among them is Jeff McBride, a recognized innovator of contemporary magic, and Max Maven, a one-man-show who performs a unique brand of “mind magic” to audiences worldwide. Lawrence Hass created the world’s first magic program in a liberal arts setting, where his seminar has attracted an impressive cast of thinkers and performers. The film, however, is Eugene’s journey. It began in 1940s Chicago, a city already renowned as the center of classic magic performance. Yale Divinity School followed, leading Eugene to the world of Asian mysticism. From there came the creation of Hauntings, a tribute to the sprit theatre of the 19th century, and the gore of the Bizarre Magick movement. Today Eugene’s performances and lectures draw inspiration from the mythology of India to the Buddhism of magical theory. On this stage, the magicians and thinkers open doors to an astounding world, a world that we rarely take time to see.

  • Eugene Burger (1939-2017)
    1 Eugene Burger (1939-2017) Photo: Michael Caplan A Celebration of Life and Legacy by Lawrence Hass, Ph.D. August 19, 2017 (This obituary was written at the request of Eugene Burger’s Estate. A shortened version of it appeared in Genii: The International Conjurors’ Magazine, October 2017, pages 79-86.) “Be an example to the world, ever true and unwavering. Then return to the infinite.” —Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching, 28 How can I say goodbye to my dear friend Eugene Burger? How can we say goodbye to him? Eugene was beloved by nearly every magician in the world, and the outpouring of love, appreciation, and sadness since his death in Chicago on August 8, 2017, has been astonishing. The magic world grieves because we have lost a giant in our field, a genuine master: a supremely gifted performer, writer, philosopher, and teacher of magic. But we have lost something more: an extremely rare soul who inspired us to join him in elevating the art of magic. 2 There are not enough words for this remarkable man—will never be enough words. Eugene is, as he always said about his beloved art, inexhaustible. Yet the news of his death has brought, from every corner of the world, testimonies, eulogies, songs of praise, cries of lamentation, performances in his honor, expressions of love, photos, videos, and remembrances. All of it widens our perspective on the man; it has been beautiful and deeply moving. Even so, I have been asked by Eugene’s executors to write his obituary, a statement of his history, and I am deeply honored to do so.

DB: Of course I am, depending on what you ask me but so far I am happy to sign it. SB: OK. First of all perhaps you could tell me a little bit about your background; where you were born? DB: Well, I never give a straight answer to that because it’s a bit complicated. It’s a bit like asking somebody, “Where were you born?” and they say in “China” because their parents happened to be in China at the moment and as a baby they were brought over and for the rest of their lives they have to say they were born in China and they say, “Oh, you’re Chinese”. “No, I’m not!” So I have to tell you that my Grandparents, my father’s parents, were from Poland and my mother’s parents from Russia and my father was born in a country between Austria and Czechoslovakia, which doesn’t exist anymore.

    Vol. 20 No. 1 September 2011 Tip Of The Month: If you want to work through agents and they need you to send some of your publicity to them, you need to supply them with cards, brochures and flyers that do NOT have your own personal contact details on them. The agents will only pass the publicity on if it has THEIR contact information shown on the materials. MOST POPULAR Featuring the most purchased products from my range Forever Flapping Plus This E-Book started off life as a comb bound printed book called In A Flap. A sequel called Still Flapping was published a few years after the original one appeared and then eventually both books were amalgamated and supplemented with a whole load of extra material to become Forever Flapping Plus. If you are interested in the possibilities that gimmicked envelopes can provide, then this E-Book is a perfect starting place. It gives construction details of 9 different individual gimmicked envelopes with loads of routines using them, plus there is a whole range of further effects in- cluded in which regular envelopes play an important yet unobtrusive part. Included in this book are details of both the Leveridge Envelope and the Utility Switch Envelope, both of which I feel on their own are worth more than the price of the entire book as they are so versatile and effective.
