Extractions: Aspiring teenaged magician Ehrich Weiss did not conjure the name "Harry Houdini" out of thin air. Following the hallowed tradition of his craft, the name pays homage to Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, the French performer widely considered the father of modern magic. Adding the "i" followed tradition as well, as this was a common way that magicians invoked the name of the famous 18th century Italian conjurer Pinetti. "Harry," on the other hand, was merely a pleasantly American twist on "Ehrie," his boyhood nickname. But Houdini’s relationship with his famous predecessor was not as simple as their shared name suggests. Perhaps inspired by the complex mechanical devices, or automata, demonstrated by Philippe and other conjurers, Robert-Houdin started building more than clocks. In 1844, a small android he had built for the Universal Exposition was purchased by American circus impresario P.T. Barnum for the handsome price of seven thousand francs. The timing was excellent, as it allowed Robert-Houdin time to finish the pieces he was building for a magical theater he would soon open in Paris. The public was enchanted by his elegantly appointed theater at the old Palais Royal, which featured numbers clearly inspired by Phillipe but with novel twists of their own. Even in this first endeavor, Robert-Houdin displayed a gift for presentation which would set him apart. In particular, his practice of appearing in normal evening attire, rather than elaborate robes, caught on and has led many to see him as the first "modern" magician.

Extractions: Talerfang Robert-Houdin war der wohl einflussreichste Zauberkünstler des 19. Jahrhunderts und wird noch heute als der Vater der modernen Magie bezeichnet. Er schuf einen neuen, klaren Stil, der sich vom Prunk und dem barocken Überfluss seiner Vorgänger abhob. Somit machte Robert-Houdin die Zauberkunst wieder hoffähig, nachdem sie bis dahin eher eine derbe Unterhaltungsform für das "niedere" Volk gewesen war. Dies wurde auch dadurch deutlich, dass er als Erster im eleganten Abendanzug auftrat und nicht in einem Gauklerkostüm. Robert-Houdin war gelernter Uhrmacher, und viele seiner Kunststücke waren feinmechanische Wunderwerke. Bekannt waren vor allem seine Schwebeillusion (er ließ seinen Sohn, nur unterstützt von einer Stange, senkrecht in der Luft schweben), seine magische Bar (aus einer Flasche goss er Getränke verschiedener Farben aus), und sein Talerfang

Extractions: Fasziniert von Optik und Mechanik wandte er sich zunächst dem Bau von Automaten zu, ging dann aber dazu über, seine naturwissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse auch in der Zauberei einzusetzen. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts eröffnete er sein eigenes Theater im alten Palais Royal, wo er das Pariser Publikum mit eleganten Kunststücken, optischen Illusionen und Mentalmagie begeisterte und sein ausgeprägtes Bühnentalent voll entfalten konnte. Als erster Zauberer setzte er dort elektromagnetische Kräfte ein, um seine Kunststücke durchzuführen. Er verzichtete auf aufwendige Roben und führte den Frack als heute noch immer übliche "Berufskleidung" der Zauberer ein. Obwohl er sich meist darauf beschränkte, Tricks weiterzuentwickeln, gilt er als Vater der modernen Magie. In seinem Geburtsort Blois ist ihm ein Museum gewidmet. Sein aufregendes Leben hat er in seinen lesenswerten Memoiren ausführlich beschrieben.

Extractions: Card_Trick Home Free Card Tricks Card Tricks For Sale Card Links Card Trick History T he precise origins of card magic are subject to debate though it's generally believed that card tricks were first developed by gamblers who wanted to improve their chances of winning when playing card games. Playing cards themselves originated in the Orient with China and India amongst the main contenders for the claim of country of origin and it's thought that cards may have been introduced to Europe in the 14th century by Arabs who had travelled from the Orient. Italy, Spain and France feature in the first literary mentions of playing cards and card magic. One of the earliest, general references to card tricks is an article from 1408 which tells of a card cheat in Paris who sought to gain advantage by manipulating the cards he was playing. The first, written mentions of actual performers of card tricks are:

Extractions: The architecture of the chateau de Blois covers 4 centuries of tormented history of the town. A journey that starts in the 13th century, after the counts of Blois had given their freehold to the king of France, continuing with the royal grandeur of Renaissance art and the murderous hours of religion wars to end with much quieter times but much richer in conspiracies, of Gaston dOrleans in the 17th century. The chateau is built on a slope in full centre town, and takes the form of a quadrilateral surrounding an honour courtyard. The exterior façade shows a medieval part, recognisable because of its pointed roof, it houses the salle des Etats Generaux (13th century) with 2 woodwork-covered naves. A more modern one, nicely build in stone and bricks built under Louis XII (1498) which equestrian statue stands in the main porch. Crossing the interior courtyard, go

Special Welcomes: The Territorial Vice President, Mr. Art Gagne, the International President Jack Browne, and past International President Ed Morris were in attendance Prestidigitation: Our current International President Jack Browne placed a card chosen by a spectator into a small frame that he keeps in his wallet. He then demonstrated the "Zig Zag" card effect by removing and restoring the card's center while both ends were clearly in sight. Special Lecture by Past International President Ed Morris: Member Ed Morris showed how he obtained news media coverage in cities that he visited throughout the world; how he did magic shows in remote native African and Asian villages; and how he personalized his close-up effects. Among the secrets he shared was recommending to the audience that they always consider performing at charity shows because the exposure and publicity often lead to high paying bookings. The Indian Rope Trick shown at "Gili Gili 97": Member Ed Morris also showed actual photographs and a video of the performance of the Indian Rope Trick that was witnessed by 25,000 people (himself included) at "Gili Gili 97". He also answered questions about his February 1998 "Linking Ring" article which described the Indian Rope Trick in addition to the first ever competition of Indian Street Magicians.

Multiple spellings of the word also appear from commentary to commentary; Phenakistoscope, Phenakistascope and Phenakistiscope which we believe is the correct spelling.

Extractions: Die Zeit bis zum Beginn des Mittelalters, das Mittelalter und die Blüte der Gaukler und der Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts bis heute. Die komplette Geschichte der Zauberkunst darzustellen würde den Rahmen hier sprengen, aber eine kurzgefasste Übersicht mit den wichtigsten Ereignissen möchte ich erwähnen. Begonnen hat es mit altorientalischer Priestermagie. Die Priester der damaligen Zeit waren Wissenschaftler, Ärzte und Naturforscher und sie benutzten ab und zu Tricks und Täuschungen, um ihr Amt zu bestätigen und das Vorhandensein von höheren Mächten zu beweisen. Eine Tür öffnete sich selbständig oder andere Wunder geschahen. Es gab aber auch die Zauberkunst, die zur Unterhaltung der Zuschauer ausgeübt wurde. Das älteste Dokument, das Westcar Papyrus, berichtete von einem Zauberkünstler mit Namen Dedi, der am Hofe von König Cheops eine Vorstellung gab. Er schlug z.B. einer Gans den Kopf ab und zauberte ihn wieder dran.

Extractions: (HN, 6/14/98) 1855 Jul 4, One of America's greatest poets Walt Whitman published the first edition of his famous "Leaves of Grass", a collection of 12 poems. Whitman published the edition himself and had about 1,000 copies printed. He later recalled about the publication, "I don't think one copy was sold, not a copy." The book was published in Philadelphia after the Boston district attorney cited 22 passages as violating a state law against obscenity. The book revealed the poet's homosexuality in coded verse.
