Dr. Laurie Haas, a world-renowned magician and educator, is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate  the legacy of the late magician Eugene Burger. Eugene Burger was known for his captivating performances and storytelling skills in the world of magic. He prioritized connecting with his audience over simply showcasing tricks, emphasizing that magic should be about life experiences. Larry Hass, who worked closely with Eugene Burger, was tasked with publishing his unpublished material, creating books that allow magicians to learn from Eugene's magic creations and presentation techniques. These books are intended to make Eugene's magical wisdom accessible to future generations of magicians. Larry stresses the importance of presentation in magic, highlighting that it's not just about the tricks or techniques but about weaving a spell with words and creating an enchanting experience for the audience. He recommends books for young and older readers interested in magic, and he also talks about the Magic and Mystery School, a place where magicians of all levels can enhance their magical abilities and presentation skills. Overall, Larry Haas believes that magic, as an art form, has the power to remind people of the wonder and joy that can be found in the world and can serve as a source of delight and inspiration.

Dr. Larry Hass discusses Eugene Burger's legacy and his approach to the trick in this episode's story: “The Trick That Cannot Be Explained” (among other topics).The reading of “The Trick That Cannot Be Explained” starts at 00:06:18The Larry Hass interview starts at 00:37:27LINKSThe Eli Marks Mystery Series: http://www.elimarksmysteries.com/Get yourself a Free Eli Marks Short Story: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/jj1r1yaavjListen to an Eli Marks Audio Short Story: https://BookHip.com/LZBPPMDLarry Hass website: https://lawrencehass.com/Check out the Occasional Film Podcast: https://www.fastcheapfilm.com/the-podcast

How does one explain art? Art means something to each beholder. Art is an experience unique to each of us. What some like, others may not like, or just be lukewarm to the concept. Such is the experience of our audiences. Some like what we do while others may not. In some cases they may not even understand what we are trying to communicate. But for the most part, most magicians don't have a message or concept they are trying to get across to their audiences. Moreover, most of us just try to “entertain” with our magic without thinking of what deeper messages we could be exploring or displaying. Our guest this week, Jeanette Andrews, is what I would call a true “artist” in the sense that she thinks deeply about the aesthetics of her props and the message she wants them to convey. More than just the visual of the staging, she also gives attention and importance to the accompanying music selections. She has also tapped into a heretofore rather unexplored target market of art patrons of museums and galleries. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize In her early years in Chicago, Jeanette was heavily influenced by her mentor, Eugene Burger. She tells about some of the great advice he taught her and how it influenced her act and career and even her lifestyle. She also discusses her act and how she incorporates art into her act. Her act is more like looking at art in galleries as she creates striking poses and slowly displays each piece she touches and incorporates into her show.

Dr. Larry Hass is the Dean of Jeff McBride's “Magic and Mystery School” in Las Vegas. Successor to the late Eugene Burger, Dr. Hass carries on the tradition and instruction in his own style, but with definite and apparent influence by Eugene. In fact, Larry was in secret collaboration with Eugene on his last two books that were not to be released until after his death. Those two books are now available and stand as testaments to the brilliant mind of Eugene Burger. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize In this episode, Dr. Hass talks about his journey to be on the faculty, then Associate Dean to finally becoming the Dean of the School.

While at MAGIC Live! this year, one of the dealers was Jeff Scanlan who puts things in bottles. How he does it is a trade secret, but the results are pure art that many people have put on their shelves as oddities and conversation starters. Jeff is a full time professional magician who was a student and friend of the late Eugene Burger. So although this episode is shorter than most, it contains two different themes: impossible bottles and Eugene Burger.

Lawrence Hass, Ph.D. is the Dean of the McBride Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas, successor in that role to his friend and mentor, Eugene Burger. He is former Professor of Humanities at Austin College and former Professor of Philosophy and Theater Arts at Muhlenberg College. In 2010 he retired from college teaching to pursue magic full-time as a performer, teacher, author, and publisher. I spoke to Larry about his start in magic, his association with Mystery School, and his new book, Eugene Burger: Final Secrets. Our discussion was wide ranging, covering the evolution of the book and many aspects of Eugene's magic. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michaelclose/support

This is the fifth and final episode in our run of Christmas themed topics, and is also the final podcast of 2020. This week's episode is a reading of the poem The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver by Edna St. Vincent Millay, written in 1922. I first heard this poem recited by the great American wizard Eugene Burger, who would use this poem during seances. Sadly Eugene Burger died on the 8th of August 2017 and so this episode is dedicated to him. Eugene Burger's work has been an inspiration to all at Alexander Maberry's Museum of Strange Things and indeed forms the foundation of much that we do. We hope you enjoy this rendition of the poem and we'd like to wish all our listeners a happy and peaceful New Year. You can visit the museum's website by going to maberrysmuseum.com.

Eind jaren negentig trok ik de stoute schoenen aan en reisde voor het eerst naar Las Vegas om een masterclass bij Jeff McBride (www.mcbridemagic.com) en Eugene Burger te volgen (www.magicalwisdom.com). Ik leerde niet alleen maar het was de start van een lange, intense vriendschap. Jeff is niet alleen een van de beste en gulste leraren die ik ken, hij is een wandelende encyclopedie op het gebied van performance magic en de oorsprong ervan. En die ligt, voor velen verrassend genoeg, niet in entertainment. Luister naar de podcast om ons te horen praten over de diepere lagen achter entertainment.

This episode is a tribute to another magician who has left us, Eugene Burger. Then I rant about the monkey see, monkey do nature of trick selection.

Knowing a persons name is power! Dieses Zitat von Eugene Burger beschreibt sehr klar, wie wichtig es ist, die Namen deiner Zuschauer zu kennen. Nicht nur in der direkten Ansprache sondern auch, um zum Beispiel einen beeindruckenden Abschluss am Ende deiner Show zu setzen indem du all deine assistierenden Zuschauer nochmal namentlich erwähnst. In dieser Folge des Trickverrat Podcast beschreiben wir dir, wie du dir auf sehr einfache Art und Weise eine Vielzahl von Namen deiner Zuschauer merken kannst. Außerdem machen die beschriebenen Techniken echt Spaß. Das erwähnte Hörbuch findest Du hier: http://amzn.to/2FbIgvC

We welcome actor, director, audiobook narrator, and author Kevin Theis back to Booth One to talk about his new book, Invading Nirvana, A Chicagoan in the City of Angels. This hilarious and informative book serves as a blueprint for any actor considering moving to L.A. to try to get work in show business. It's available at bookstores or on Amazon. Kevin has also narrated the audiobook. Longtime Chicago critic and theatre professor Albert Williams has this to say about it: "A smart, witty, but also incisive and candid chronicle of Theis's experiences and observations as a Chicago actor who decided to head west to crash the TV, film, and surprisingly lucrative audiobooks markets." In this book, Kevin explores every aspect of the entertainment industry, including stand-up comedy. Treating the project like a journalism assignment about what it's like to live there, he also talks about other L.A. weirdness, such as the pervasiveness of Scientologists and cannabis. Check out this site to see the big blue Scientology Center and one of the videos Kevin saw in person. Kevin has a book signing on October 20 at City Lit Books and on October 24 at the Den Theatre. Gary and Kevin have just seen The Rembrandt at Steppenwolf, starring John Mahoney and Francis Guinan. They, along with their 3 supporting actors, are sensational. As Kevin says, go to this show to see "two pros get up on stage with the right material and the right director and just knock it out of the park!" In his "Good Times & Bum Times" segment, Gary recounts two amazing tales of woe and good fortune. The bum times is particularly astonishing. Gary has recently done an audio book narration workshop with Kevin, which was a lot of fun. Kevin will come to your home to do the workshop! Go to this site if you'd like to sign up. Our producer gave Gary a shark picture book as a "present." It includes graphic photos and "danger ratings", along with proof that at least one 5 star danger-rated shark can live in fresh water. Good to have your phobias validated. Kevin announces a new project he is doing at Oak Park Festival Theatre. A world premiere play called "A Dickens Carol" by Ned Crowley. The premise is that A Christmas Carol is based on actual events from Dickens' life. Opens November 26. Speaking of A Christmas Carol, this will be the  40th anniversary of Chicago's Goodman Theatre production. Kevin enjoyed being part of that cast for seven years. Kiss of Death: Celebrate the life of magician Eugene Burger. What a story. A master of close-up illusions and mentor to many at the The Magic Castle. Gary has been lucky enough to get invited in the past and recalls it as one of the great experiences of his life.  

In which I discuss Eugene Burger, Share a show story, and rail against hatred and Nazis.

"I find it puzzling, don't you? The rabbit, I mean. Very puzzling." As a magician, I am accustomed to people asking me about rabbits... As a writer, John Gaspard is accustomed to people asking him about magic. His wonderful Eli Marks Mystery Series features magician and reluctant amateur sleuth, Eli Marks, and his cranky Uncle Harry, also a magician and a debunker of magic scams.  Soft-boiled, humorous, and taking place in the -- dare I say? -- enchanting world of professional magicians, this series is a treat.  Let's do the important stuff first. Poof! -- John has pulled a free short story for you out of his hat! You can download it here, or listen to the incomparable Jim Cunningham read it here. John also makes movies! Check out his film blog, Fast, Cheap Movie Thoughts, which riffs off the name of one of his own books on movie making, Fast, Cheap and Under Control. In the interview, he recommends a book by William Bayer, Breaking Through, Selling Out, Dropping Dead and other notes on Film Making. You can keep abreast of Johns' many activities on Facebook. John gives a shout-out to fellow Minnesota writer Judith Guest (of Ordinary People fame, but also the writer of suspense novel, The Tarnished Eye) as well as mystery writer Lawrence Block, a long-time favorite of mine as well. He also talks about the great work The Amazing Randi has done in debunking frauds. Other magicians mentioned in this conversation: Dai Vernon, Lance Burton and Eugene Burger, and of course Harry Houdini. And I want to give a shout-out myself to Henery Press, which is doing a great job of publishing soft-boiled and cozy series, especially ones that are a little outside the lines, at a time when other publishers are ending many long-time series. They also publish Gigi Pandian's Jaya Jones series, another favorite of mine. If you missed my conversation with her, you can check it out here. This was such a fun conversation. Enjoy! -- Laura Transcript of Interview with John Gaspard Laura Brennan: My guest today may not be a professional magician, but he certainly creates magic on the page. John Gaspard’s novels are clever, funny and satisfying mysteries, with a flourish of stage magic. John, thank you for joining me. John Gaspard: Happy to be here. LB: Before we start talking about your novels, I'd like to talk a little bit about you. You also have a career in film and television, is that right? JG: Well, career might be a strong word. I have sold things to television and I have produced a number of low-budget feature films on my own. I started out as a teenager making films and I was directing them, so I was just always the director. LB: Well, I love that. I love that you take what you have and instead of letting it languish in a drawer somewhere, you actually went out and made it. And you started doing this when you were a teenager? JG: I did! I am one of the first people in the country or maybe even the world to make a feature-length Super 8 single sound system film. Which meant that the sound was right there on the film when you recorded it, as opposed to double system, where it is recorded separately. I did a couple of 16mm films in the '90s, they were all features, and then three digital features since around 2001. LB: So you have always wanted to write? JG: I always wanted to make movies, and since no one was handing me scripts I sort of fell into the writing part. LB: I like that because when you're writing a novel, you are both a writer and the director. JG: Yes. Yes, there's a lot more control going on in writing a novel. LB: So let's move into novels. How did you get started then, moving away from writing and directing features and into novels? JG: Well, I'd always figured that as I got a little bit older, I'd be doing less schlepping of film equipment and low-budget filmmaking. And I had read a book in my teens by William Bayer called, Breaking Through, Selling Out,

Eugene Burger   Eugene and I talk about magic as a “way”, storytelling, how words have hypnotized us, why we all need to wake up and why mystery is really the problem.   Biography He's amazed and delighted audiences from Las Vegas to Tokyo. As Stagebill magazine proclaimed, Eugene Burger is "universally recognized as perhaps the finest close-up magician in the world." "Close-up magic" is just that: magic performed right under your nose, where everyone becomes part of the show. And with Eugene Burger it is an unforgettable experience, for as the Chicago Reader noted in an unprecedented eleven-page cover story about him, "Burger adds something extra." His warmth and humor are captivating and his magic is simply amazing. By definition, magicians are pretty special people, but Eugene Burger is considered exceptional even by other magicians. He has written fifteen best-selling books for the trade, starred in eight instructional videos, lectured extensively to magicians' groups in over a dozen countries, and his writings have been translated into several languages. His deep understanding of the psychology and philosophy behind the magic have won him international accolades, cover stories in conjuring magazines, and four awards from the famed Magic Castle in Hollywood. But as much as he loves discussing magic with fellow performers, Eugene's true passion is bringing mystery and enchantment to the public, and at this he is unparalleled. His special presence has led to numerous television appearances in Great Britain, Canada, Belgium, Finland and Japan, and on such highly acclaimed shows as The Art of Magic on PBS andMysteries of Magic on The Learning Channel. He's been profiled twice on CNN. During the past several years, Eugene has been a featured speaker for top executives of such major companies as Coca-Cola, Williams-Sonoma, Unisys and Pottery Barn, as well as top business schools including Wharton, and the graduate schools of business at the Universities of Chicago and Maryland. His talk, "How Magicians Think," applies his special understanding of deception and perception to the corporate world. When the leading international trade journal Magic magazine compiled its list of the one hundred most influential magicians of the twentieth century, Eugene Burger was included for his ability to "arouse feelings of astonishment, as well as a host of other indescribable sensations." Find out why this engaging entertainer is in constant demand for private parties, corporate functions and special events.

His deep understanding of the psychology and philosophy behind magic has won him international accolades, cover stories in conjuring magazines, and four awards from the famed Magic Castle in Hollywood, California.

Grothe, Burger discusses belief in the paranormal, "Spirit Theater," and the possible deception of the public by paranormal claimants or entertainers such as Israeli psychic Uri Geller and American psychic medium John Edward. He also explores the relationship of magic to religion and to science, what magic can teach us about how we believe, and the kinds of benefits the student of magic receives from learning the art.
