The Body of Entertainers



Greetings—

As I began writing this month’s edition of The Magic Maniac, there is 12.5 inches of snow on the ground (according to the National Weather service) and I just got electricity back after 16 hours in the dark. For some people, this wouldn’t be unusual in February but this is Dallas, Texas…I chose to live here so I woul… Continue

Friend has died

I was going to say that I lost a friend, but now I realize that I have lost two very good friends. One is Ed Rosenthal whom I met originally in Boston when He booked me on the conclave that he once was chairman. Ed was a fun person to know all these years and we all way kept in contact.

I was told that Pat Page in England also had died. Pat was a real full time pro who loved his magic. He knew of what he was doing and he did it better than most. I will miss seeing him in our trips to th… Continue

Magic Headlines From the IBM

Bracco's March Report w/Video

Bracco's Eye on AsiaKorean magicians
immersed in art
at 2010 seminar

Well it is already March and February has come and gone here in Korea but not without some very special things happing over the last two weeks of the month.

First there was the news that came to us from England about the winners of the Blackpool Convention. I would like to congratulate all of the winners at this year’s Blackpool Convention, but I would especially like to tip my hat to the three Korean winners: Kim Hyung Jun, Lee Jung Min, and Kim Min Hyung. Hyung Jun and Jung Min took first and second place in the stage competition, and Min Hyung took first place in the close-up competition.

Then from February 27th to March 1st was the DongPusan College International Magic Seminar 2010. This seminar is a yearly event that is sponsored by DongPusan College, which is one of the two colleges in the south of the country that have degree programs in magic.

P.C. Sorcar stamp issued

P.C. Sorcar stamp

P.C. Sorcar remembered
with issuance of stamp

The late Protul Chandra Sorcar, a magician from India better known as P.C. Sorcar Sr., once said, "When asleep I breathe magic; when awake I work magic." Even in death, the acclaimed magician who brought the magic of India to the rest of the world, is still reaching audiences -- this time through the issuance of a stamp bearing his likeness.

The Department of Posts in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, issued the commemorative Sorcar stamp on Feb. 23, 2010, the 98th anniversary of the legendary performer's birth.

West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, who was present on the occasion, said, “I have come to pay my respects to the memory of such a person who was not just popular amongst the people of our country, but also had earned great admiration and regard in the international arena,” according to a report on the Daily News & Analysis-India Web site.

Video: When Thurston Came to Town

Thurston posterFeldman captures Thurston's incredible life in new DVD

Rory Feldman, who has more than 15,000 pieces of Howard Thurston memorabilia in his Brooklyn, N.Y., home, has produced a full-length documentary about the "Master Magician's" life. (A video of the trailer appears below.)

Originally, Feldman created a 35-minute video of Thurston based on a William V. Rauscher lecture, "When Thurston Came to Town." Feldman took the audio and overlaid pictures. That original effort has since been expanded to a full length DVD with rare photographs, audio clips and video clips. You can read and learn more about Howard Thurston and the DVD here. Read more about Rory Feldman here. Feldman is on the cover of the February edition of The Linking Ring.
