The Genii are back with a double coup in "Coup d'Etat." The Genii have never been trustworthy so there's no reason to think that will change, but perhaps the Atlanteans can strike a more meaningful truce this time?

Julie Eng and Jim Steinmeyer take a break from taking over the publishing of Genii Magazine to discuss with our listeners the future of Genii Magazine after Richard Kaufman's retirement. Nick and Erik start the show with a discussion of the latest tricks and answer listener questions.

The Atlanteans go into Survival Mode as they prepare to face The Storm. But then the Genii show up to throw a massive wrench into their plans. The one good thing this episode does give us? The start of the Rodney & Zelenka fun times. The two Davids just play off each other so well.    The Genii plan is quite a genius one, really. Why not try and take over a city when most of its inhabitants are gone?   There's also another round of Live Googling. This time by Rachael! And RIP Cory Monteith.

It's Chelsea's favorite arc from Season 1! Atlantis finds itself in a stormy situation in "The Storm" and "The Eye" this week as a super hurricane forces everyone to evacuate and the Genii attempt to take advantage of the situation.https://twitter.com/wormholewaffleshttps://wormholewaffles.tumblr.com/@wormholewaffles.bsky.socialHive @wormholewaffleshttps://twitter.com/chelseafairlesshttps://chelseafairless.tumblr.com/@chelseafairless.bsky.socialHive @chelseafairlesshttps://twitter.com/arezouaminhttps://arezoudeetoo.tumblr.com/@arezouamin.bsky.socialHive @arezoudeetooOther Geeky Waffle content:https://thegeekywaffle.com/https://twitter.com/Geeky_Wafflehttps://www.facebook.com/thegeekywaffle/https://www.instagram.com/thegeekywaffle/https://thegeekywaffle.tumblr.com/https://www.tiktok.com/@thegeekywafflehttps://www.youtube.com/c/thegeekywafflehttps://www.patreon.com/thegeekywaffle

We meet the Atlanteans' best adversarial ally (thank you, Rachael) this week when we find the Genii Underground. Did you know Genii is the plural form of genie?    What were the circumstances in which Tyrus and sora changed into their military uniforms after being told to bring Ford and Teyla to Cowen? Cos that's a little weird if you stop to think about it. And, if you know anything about us, you know Rachael has Things To Say about the fact that the Genii know what uranium is and call it by that name.   Weir's little rant about how she just sent them out for food and now they're plotting a war is just perfection.   And there's a little bonus for those that listen all the way to the end….   INSTAGRAM: SG_Rewatch THREADS: SG_Rewatch DISCORD: https://discord.gg/65kMPzBuaN EMAIL: woosgrewatch@gmail.com

Sheppards Team sucht auf Dagan nach einem ZPM, das von der Bruderschaft der 15 dort vor tausenden Jahren versteckt wurde. Als jedoch auch die Genii davon erfahren, entwickelt sich die Schnitzeljagd.

In the 2nd part of this story, Victor Lams, Lisa Jones, and Jeff Haecker discuss this action-packed story and moral questions surrounding the defense of Atlantis; the evil of Kolya; the stategic cat-and-mouse games between the Atlanteans and Genii.

In dieser Episode der Podcast-Reihe "Orville" setzen wir uns mit der 40. Folge auseinander. Gemeinsam mit Alexa und Alexander gehen wir tief in die Szene zurück, in der die Schöpfer der Caelon über Beschwerden aufgrund unbotmäßiger Kellner diskutieren. Wir reflektieren über die potenziellen Folgen, wenn künstliche Intelligenz ein gewisses Selbstbewusstsein entwickelt und wie sich dies auf moralische Entscheidungen in Bezug auf Roboter auswirken könnte. Unser Interesse gilt besonders den moralischen Konflikten, die sich aus der Bewusstwerdung von Maschinen ergeben könnten und wir sind gespannt darauf, wie sich die Handlung weiterentwickelt. Während wir durch die Episode navigieren, betrachten wir kritisch die Szene, in der die Charaktere gezwungen sind, sich in einer unbehaglichen Admiralstischsituation zu verhalten. Wir diskutieren über die Darstellung von Geschlechterrollen und Führungspositionen sowie die Reaktionen der Charaktere auf raffinierte Pläne und Enthüllungen innerhalb der Handlung. Dabei analysieren wir auch die Labordetails, die Beleuchtung und die moralischen Aspekte im Umgang mit den Kailon. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf den ethischen Fragen innerhalb der Serie, insbesondere auf der Entwicklung von Ethik bei rein logischen Bewusstseinsformen. Wir beurteilen die Handlungen der Charaktere, hinterfragen ihre moralischen Entscheidungen und reflektieren über die Komplexität von Emotionen und Moral. Die Entwicklung der Roboter-Rasse und deren schwierige Entscheidungen stehen im Mittelpunkt unserer Gespräche, wobei wir auch über die Bedeutung von Kompromissen in Beziehungen diskutieren. Die Episode führt uns weiter durch verschiedene Aspekte von Beziehungen, wobei Kelly's Weisheiten und Überlegungen zur Partnerschaft herausragen. Die Idee von Kompromissen und offener Kommunikation über Probleme wird von uns als Schlüsselthema betrachtet, während wir Beziehungsdynamiken und die Komplexität von Emotionen innerhalb des Sci-Fi-Kontexts ergründen. Durch die Analyse der Handlungsstränge der Charaktere und deren Bemühungen, den Genii entgegenzutreten, erhalten wir Einblicke in die Tiefe der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen. Zusammengefasst bieten wir einen eingehenden Blick auf die verschiedenen Szenen der aktuellen Orville-Folge. Unsere Diskussionen umfassen emotionale Nuancen, technische Umsetzungen und schauspielerische Leistungen. Wir bewerten herausragende und weniger gelungene Szenen und ziehen ein abschließendes Fazit zur gesamten Episode. Dabei kristallisieren sich persönliche Favoriten heraus, während wir die schauspielerische Qualität und die Handlungsentscheidungen kritisch beleuchten.

We meet the Genii! Jack Baruzzini, Victor Lams, and Fr.

I've had the opportunity to talk to a lot of inspiration people on this podcast, but I have to say today's guest has one of the most inspirational stories I've ever heard.  He lives by the motto “being different is your superpower”, and his name is John Kippen. John is a magician, a motivational speaker, and a master storyteller.  He's a performer at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, and has been featured in various publications such as International Magic Magazine, Genii, CEO Weekly, and Redx, and in July 2019 John appeared as a speaker for TEDx. In 2021, John Kippen's documentary titled “John's Ultimate Illusion” was voted Best Inspirational Documentary at the Doc LA Film Festival.  His documentary is a glimpse into his life and features appearances from other amazing people including Jamie Lee Curtis. In our conversation today, you'll hear how in 2002 John's life was changed forever.  But thanks to magic, he regained his self confidence and learned to love life again.  In his performances, he uses his life experience to show how anyone can turn their differences into super powers.  John was such a pleasure to talk to, and he shares a couple of amazing moments in his career. And he also shares his love for improv, and how the techniques and tools of improvisation can be very beneficial to magicians. Be sure to visit his website johnkippen.com, where you can learn more about his performances and talks, find information for his documentary “John's Ultimate Illusion”, and his show Inside the Magician's Studio featuring many amazing and well-known magical performers.

Al-Jinn[1] (Arabic: الجن, “The Jinn”) is the 72nd chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with 28 verses (āyāt). The name as well as the topic of this chapter is jinn. Similar to angels, the jinn are beings invisible to the naked human eye. In the Quran, it is stated in that humans are created from the earth and jinn from smokeless fire.

John Bannon is a prolific creator of high-quality magic (emphasis on card magic). His published works include Impossibilia, Smoke & Mirrors, Dear Mr. Fantasy, High Caliber, Destination Zero, and Mentalissimo. In cooperation with Big Blind Media he has produced several DVDs, including Move Zero, a four-DVD set focusing on self-working card magic. He also contributes a regular card column, “Dealing with It,” for Genii. John's new book, Very Hush-hush, will soon be available through Squash Publishing. You can find my review at Michaelclose.com; spoiler alert: I really liked it. John and I have been pals for more than thirty years. We used to see each other on a regular basis when I lived in Las Vegas, and later, when he would come to Toronto for the 31 North gathering. In this interview, we talked about his start in magic, his involvement with the Chicago Session (still going strong), and how he creates his effects. I think you'll find his comments insightful. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michaelclose/support

Meditation Begins at 4:10The intention of this meditation is to invoke the genii. The genii are archetypes or aspects of the universal mind called genius spirits that make up one particular energy or aspect. These genius spirits are often described as personified virtues and are known as The Genii of the Twelve Hours. They were described in the Nuctemeron, attributed to Apollonius of Tyana from the First Century AD. There is some confusion regarding these spirits, with some people assuming that ‘genius' is the same as ‘genie' because it sounds similar.  Genies are also known as ‘djinn' or ‘jinn,' and they are sometimes unpredictable and evil. As such, I would never use them in this book. The misunderstanding occurs partly because of issues with translation, and because ‘genius' sounds somewhat like ‘genie.'  With sufficient research, it is clear that the spirits employed in this ritual are gentle and safe. It is my belief that these genius spirits are not angels, but are an embodiment of angelic power. That is, they personify the virtues of various angels in the form of unique spirits.  People who have actually used this magick report real and lasting results, so don't let armchair occultists who wrongly assume that ‘genius' means ‘genie' put you off. The genius spirits give you access to power that is as warm, safe and mighty as that of the angels because it is inspired and powered by angels.Haven (HAH-VEN), genius of dignity, grant me the power of the magus.   Baglis (BAH-GLISS), genius of measure and balance, grant me the power to express my will.   Hahabi (HAH-HABI), genius of fear, let the force of my will overcome all terrors.   Phalgus (FAL-GUSS), genius of judgment, grant me clear sight on the path to victory.   Camaysar (CAH-MAY-SAR), genius of the marriage of contraries, grant me harmony.   Tabris (TAH-BRIS), genius of free will, grant me power over my own domain.   Sabrus (SAH-BRUS), sustaining genius, grant me the power to see beauty.   Alphun (AL-FUN), genius of the doves, grant me peace.   Zeffak (ZEFF-AK), genius of irrevocable choice, grant me the power to create my own immortality.   Mastho (MAST-OH), genius of delusive appearances, grant me the power to see through all deception.   Eglun (EGG-LUN), genius of lightning, grant me the power to express my will through magick.   Marnes (MARN-EZ), genius of the discernment of spirits, grant me the power to protect myself. Zahun (zah hoon) genius of scandal protect me from any scandal Sisera Sis-er- ah, genius of desire grant me the power to control my desires for m y greatest good. Labzerin (Lab-- Zer-- IN,)genius of success grant me success Zeirna (Zer na) - protect me from all sickness SIALUL, (See Al ool) genius of prosperity grant me the power for infinite prosperity JAZER (Ja Zer), genius who compels love. Buy My Art - Unique Sigil Magic and Energy Activation Through Flow Art and Voyages Through Space and Imagination. https://www.newearth.art/ BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channeling, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 Join our Facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Follow Us on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealityRevolution/ Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_reality_revolution/ Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/mediaprime Follow me on MeWe https://mewe.com/i/brianscott71 Join our reality revolution group on twitter https://twitter.com/i/communities/1509405555579777024 Music By Mettaversfull sturgeon super moonFirst lightCovergence

For Melechesh is a most singular entity, creating its own musical sub-genre ... Mesopotamian metal. Mixing punishing black metal with Middle Eastern rhythms (seriously, check out the drumming!), here we have some of the very best extreme metal to be found on this much abused world of ours. From Jerusalem with much occult turbulence, here is ... Melechesh!!!

He has been featured in cover stories of trade publications like Magic, Genii and other magic journals worldwide. Articles have been done on him in The New York Times, LA Magazine and Harpers, just to name a few.

Dan Ulin is one of our favorite magicians... ...as you might know, everything we do at The Daily Magician is about helping magicians think differently, and when it comes to said task, there's no one who does it better than Dan. Dan Ulin has decades of experience in magic and is connected to some of the greatest magicians on earth.  We loved this podcast, and hope you will too! 

Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. We humans have found nifty ways to define and help us understand it. Yet everyone's perception of this strange thing is unique. Time dissolves into oblivion, if someone pushes "play" on the right track at the right place and time. Well, not too long ago the universe pushed a monumental pause button causing time and with it life on earth to freeze - but: our hearts never did. We kept them in a safe place. And now a new summer is here, one that invites the dancing feet back to the places we hold so dearly. "A Mirror For The Sun" is a compilation of pieces, which strive for no less than be the soundtrack that awakens our spirits, now that the big play button has finally been pushed. The 2nd Volume of ‘A Mirror For the Sun' is here, compiled by Niki Sadeki, featuring 27 artists and 15 songs. ✨Genii SC: https://soundcloud.com/genii-music ✨Souq Records SC: https://soundcloud.com/souqrecordss ✨KataHaifisch SC: @katahaifisch ✨Niki Sadeki SC: https://soundcloud.com/nikisadeki

This month's guest on Conversations with Close is Sylvain Juzan. Sylvain and I met briefly at a Genii convention a few years ago, and then got to spend a bit more time when he appeared on season 7a of Fool Us. I spoke to Sylvain about his background, his new book, Every Card You Take – I'll be Watching You, and his approach to creating magic. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michaelclose/support

If you have any interest at all in card magic, I'm sure the name Roberto Giobbi is familiar to you. He is a prolific author, a frequent contributor to magazines (his column in Genii has run for fourteen years), a lecturer, a teacher, and an experienced performer. His new book, Sharing Secrets: The 52 Most Important and Practical Strategies in Magic, is fantastic. In it, Giobbi has solved a problem I have struggled with for thirty years: how to teach the theoretical principles of magic in a way that can be utilized and internalized. The last time Roberto and I had a “deep dive” discussion, we talked about his lecture on Dai Vernon. (That interview appeared in M-U-M.) This time we took an even deeper dive. I learned some things I never knew (like why the original version of Card College was spiral bound). We had a great time discussing subjects we both love, and I think you'll enjoy listening to it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michaelclose/support

Definitely an exciting episode and I hope you enjoy it. https://linktr.ee/darraghmason

Richard Kaufman is a prolific author and publisher; his output includes some of the best books of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. For more than twenty years he has been the editor of Genii magazine. His most recent book, Mr. Jennings Takes it Easy, has been in the works for many years. I spoke to Richard from his home in Washington, DC. We talked about his process, his relationship with Larry Jennings, the trials and tribulations of publishing, and much more. Several times during the interview, Richard picked up a deck of cards to demonstrate something. He also showed a video clip of Larry Jennings discussing the double lift and the top change. For that reason, you may prefer to watch the video version of the interview. Michael Close members can watch the video here. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michaelclose/support

Meghan and Jennifer June chat with award-winning author, television writer, stand-up comedian, close-up magician, comedy club (The Comedy Nest) co-owner and Creative Director of a Canadian entertainment brand called the SuperDogs™, David Acer. We talk about comedy, writing, and Jen's crippling fear of magic tricks. Meghan and Jen (fruitlessly) attempt to bully David into casting three of their combined domestic pets in the next superdogs episode and naturally discuss David's alter-ego, Alfred Hitchcockerspaniel. He's had his own special on The Comedy Network and appeared on a multitude of international specials, not to mention live at The Riviera in Las Vegas, The Magic Castle in Hollywood, and 13 times at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. Younger audiences might also recognize him as “Doubting Dave” from the series Mystery Hunters, which garnered him two Gemini nominations (the Canadian equivalent of the Emmys) for Best Writing and the publication of his spin-off book, GOTCHA! 18 Amazing Ways to Freak Out Your Friends. GOTCHA! went on to become a Canadian bestseller and earned David two children's literary-award nominations, as well as one win—the Hackmatack Children's Choice Award for Best Non-Fiction. It has since been translated into French and Danish. More recently David has contributed comedic pieces to Reader's Digest Canada and appeared on CBC's The Debaters, tackling hot-button topics like whether gravity is trying to kill us and who's cooler: clowns or magicians. On top of all that, David is a world-class sleight-of-hand artist and inventor of magic tricks who has performed and lectured for magicians around the world. He was named Magician of the Year by the Canadian Association of Magicians and graced the cover of the American magic magazine, Genii, the industry's oldest and most respected periodical. He has also had four books of his original tricks published—the latest, called More Power To You, by Hermetic Press (Seattle, WA). Now in his role as Creative Director at Canada's Spot On Entertainment he has helped write and develop digital content, virtual productions and eight live touring shows for their enormously popular brand, the SuperDogs. These shows entertain over one million people every year at theatres and arenas across the country.

Matt has performed magic across the U.S., as well as in Colombia, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Japan (he once made a bar waitress in Japan gasp and drop her bottle of sake).

Back on Track Endlich ist es wieder soweit. Nach einer gefühlten Ewigkeit gehen meine Freunde und ich mal wieder in einen Club. Schon im Eingangsbereich sehe ich bekannte Gesichter und alte Freunde. Man begrüßt sich herzlich, nimmt sich in den Arm oder kloppt sich freundschaftlich auf die Schulter. Dann heißt ab in die Schlange und warten. Nach einem kurzen Wortwechsel mit den Türstehern geht es direkt auf den Dancefloor. Begleitet vom Bass, sowie blitzenden und bunten Lichtern, bahne ich mir meinen Weg durch die tanzende Menge. An der Bar bestelle ich ein Bier. Dann mache ich mich auf ins Getümmel. Leicht einen im Tee, vollkommen glücklich und zufrieden, gebe ich mich der Musik hin. Der hypnotische 4/4 Takt zieht mich in seinen magischen Bahn und ich vergesse die Welt um mich herum. Jetzt gibt es nur noch die Musik, die anderen Tänzer & mich. Jemand tippt mir auf die Schulter. Er lacht mich freundlich an und wir gehen eine Zigarette rauchen. Währenddessen wummert der Bass von drüben zu uns rüber. Ich genieße es einfach wieder auf einer Party zu sein. Diese Momente sind so kostbar und unersetzlich. Heute ist Genii auf KataHaifisch mit einem Podcast zu Gast. Ihr Set ist unkonventionell und lässt sich schwer zuordnen. Zu abstrakt für eine Schublade, einfach ein erquickendes Unikat. An diesem Vizefreitag Gedenken wir der guten alten Zeit. Wir erinnern uns mit Freude und auch ein wenig schwermütig, an die Tage zurück, wo wir unbeschwert feiern und tanzen konnten. Wir bedanken uns für diese schöne Komposition und wünschen Euch eine gute Zeit

This week I am talking to Genii who lives in Upstate New York. I'm fascinated that she came to wild swimming as a bi product of teaching SUP Yoga - taking lessons when she was in her 60s, as she's never learned to swim properly. This was about added security for her SUP Yoga clients, but what she found was a whole community of open water swimmers and a series of events that she was actually quite good at. She may think that she has won medals because she is "lucky" that there aren't many other swimmers in her age group. I think she's getting out there and competing, which has nothing to do with luck, but hard work and talent. Her story is wonderful to listen to. Enjoy.   Things we talk about Swim Trek, Coney Island Brighton Beach Open Water Swimmers, Coney Island Polar Bears, Grimaldo's Mile, Lake Placid Betsy Owens (1 mile) and Terry Laughlin (2 miles),  Henley Club to Pub swim, Lake George 2.5k, 5k and 10k swims

This week's episode comes to you direct from Toronto via the TRICS and Genii conventions. Chris Westfall and Erik met up at TRICS to talk desert island magic books. Julie Eng and Erik met up at Genii to talk Magicana, the Johnny Thompson books, and other magic literature. Both Julie and Chris are fantastic magicians from the great city of Toronto, where Erik went to college. Also, Nick Locapo drops in to talk Vortex and The GOAT.

Julie Eng, Daniel Zuckerbot and David Peck talk about their new film The Science of Magic, change blindness, assumptions, subverting reality, free will, doubt and the problems of perception. Synopsis Magic has become the latest investigative tool for scientists exploring human cognition, neurobiology, and behaviour. Across Canada, the US and Europe, our film follows researchers who are bringing magicians’ tricks into the laboratory.  With impossible magic, amazing facts, and opportunities for viewers to participate in the magic, this extraordinary exploration peeks behind the curtain into a fascinating world where ancient magic meets modern science.  Canadian magician and executive director of the arts organization Magicana, Julie Eng not only mystifies us with magic, she also takes us to Montreal’s McGill University to meet Jay Olson. He is one of the scientists spearheading this novel and powerful approach to experimental psychology.  On the streets of Montreal Julie and Jay use card tricks to help us understand how magic can be used to explore human consciousness. But these simple tricks have given way to more elaborate experiments. We join Jay at the Montreal Neurological Institute for an extraordinary demonstration involving an MRI machine that can apparently not only read minds but can even use its electromagnetic fields to manipulate your most private thoughts.  Watch the trailer here. Biography Julie Eng is best described as a charming and enchanting performer who is passionate about her craft. Both her peers and her clients consider this award-winning magicienne one of the up-and-coming performers of her generation. Her interest in magic began early; raised in a family of magicians, she has been a stage performer since she was a child. As she earned her Commerce degree, Julie’s true love for the unique art of magic blossomed into a career. And now, for over three decades, Julie has brought her magical expertise to thousands of private functions, festivals, conventions and special events around the globe. Julie is also the executive director of Magicana – an arts organization and registered charity dedicated to the study, exploration and advancement of magic as a performing art. Inside of her work with Magicana, Julie is one of the founding organizers for two unique community outreach programs, My Magic Hands and Senior Sorcery. Julie was also a part of another one of Magicana’s productions, a theatrical show, Piff Paff Poof which was designed specifically to introduce the experience of the theatre to young families.   Over the years, Julie has developed a refreshing and distinctive style – a mix of elegance, surprise and humour – that has made her a popular entertainment choice. Whether on stage or mingling with her audience, Julie’s magic is distinguished by her dexterous skill, confident presentation and professional manner. Julie has also received accolades from her fellow magicians, who have invited her to perform at magic conventions across North America. She has been featured in, MAGIC, Genii and The Linking Ring, internationally distributed trade magazine. Julie’s energetic performances are well suited to a multitude of venues: corporate receptions, trade shows and product launches, hospitality suites, conventions and client appreciation and development events. Julie’s style, charm and repertoire have consistently garnered high praise from her clients, including some of the largest and most creative companies in Canada and the United States. Daniel Zuckerbort’s first experience in the Canadian film industry was in 1974 when, while studying history of science, religion and philosophy at the University of Waterloo, he got a summer job as a researcher for a documentary. Though only 20 at the time this was far from his earliest foray into the Canadian art scene. At the age of 15 he began working as an assistant in the technical crew at Theatre Passe Muraille. This was in 1969 and Passe Muraille was the centre of avante garde theatre. In recent years Daniel’s specifically theatre related work has been limited to directing actors in some of his productions as well as having made a number of documentaries about performers. A working magician himself for some years, he taught magic privately and for the Toronto Board of Education. He is also one of the founding board member of Magicana a registered charity dedicated to the exploration of magic as a performing art and to increasing the public’s understanding and appreciation of this art. For more information see www.magicana.com From the early 80s, through much of the 90s he was also involved managing the organization and activities of large groups of volunteers. These activities included helping organize neighborhood newspapers in Canada and abroad (including England, Scotland, Iceland, and Jamaica). Daniel is fluent in Spanish. His interests in the history of technology have come to a happy meeting in his current experiments in textile production, dye chemistry and casting metal (copper, bronze, brass, and iron) using kilns and crucibles that he has built himself. His creative endeavors are not limited to film or the forge. He is a writer in a range of genres and one of his short writings was published in the Spring 2011 edition of the literary journal Descant. ---------- Image Copyright: Julie Eng and Daniel Zuckerbot and Reel Time Images.

Melting Mountain Glaciers For many years it has been believed that Canada's western mountain glaciers, also known as the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, melted some 12.5 thousand years ago. A new study published in the Journal Nature by researcher Brian Menounos and his team is shedding new light on just when our mountains became ice-free. Deciphering the story of ice melt across western Canada's mountain has far-reaching implications. By understanding how ice melted thousands of years ago, we can also build better models to predict how current alpine ice sheets, like the one in Greenland, may melt in the future. It also helps to understand the challenges of previous theories of an "ice-free corridor" in terms of human migration to the North American Continent. And finally, it also is an important part of the story of ocean level fluctuations as a result of the increased meltwater. When we talk about landscapes we need to understand two concepts, inheritance and consistency. When we look at changing climates over the millennia, we also need to look at the associate landforms that each climate typically creates. In the mountain west, for instance, the mountain landscape was first carved by the power of water. Water dissects the land in a very specific way. It takes advantage of the contours as well as weaknesses in the rocks to guide its flow. Water passes over rocks of varying hardness including soft shales and harder limestones. Softer rocks will be worn down more quickly while harder rocks remain more resistant to the power of water. Cracks or fissures will be widened and over time, the landscape begins to be divided by mountain summits and intervening v-shaped valleys carved by water. When glaciers later inherited this water forged landscape, they inherited the same valleys previously carved by water and began to renovate them. Narrow V-shaped valleys were renovated into broad u-shaped valleys typical of valley glaciers. High on the mountains, glaciers also formed on cliff ledges and any area where snow could accumulate. As these glaciers moved, they enlarged the ledges upon which they sat and in many cases created round bowl-shaped depressions called cirques. I often refer to cirques as glacial nurseries as the ice usually formed there and then would overflow down the valley as it exceeded the ability of these bowls to contain the ever-increasing volumes of ice. Rock and debris fell onto the ice and some hitched a ride, just like a modern-day conveyor belt. It would later be deposited along the ice margins in linear ridges called moraines. Most of the rock becomes incorporated into the glacier and gets scraped and scoured along the base of the glacier. It's this action that allows glaciers to modify the landscape. Today, water has re-inherited this ice-modified mountainscape and is once again altering the cirques and u-shaped valleys. Consistency refers to the simple fact that processes acting on the landscape within a particular climate are the same processes that acted on the landscape at other periods of similar temperature and moisture. The way water changes the mountains today is the same way it would have done thousands or even millions of years ago. Each climate creates its own types of landforms but is always working with vistas carved by successive climatic periods. As a naturalist, this is what I love to look for in the surrounding peaks. Where can I find the impacts of previous climates and how are the current changes in climate affecting how water will shape the mountains long into the future. Brian Menounos' study helps climatologists to not only more accurately understand how our mountain glaciers melted, but also how similar landscapes today may react in the future. Just like looking at a star in the sky represents light that may have traveled for thousands or millions of years before it reached your eye, our mountains may represent a time capsule of how other mountain glaciers may melt in the future. One of the challenges facing this study was the fact that most previous studies found that the glaciers in western Canada only melted around 12.5 thousand years ago. This date was the result of Carbon dating. Carbon dating has been a tried and true way of dating materials for decades, but once you get into high mountain landscapes, it runs into problems; there's not a lot of carbon at high elevations. The carbon used for dating comes from ancient plants and once you hit the upper alpine environment, you find yourself in a land of rock and ice with little to no plant life. This may have added significant error to the dating. If you take a walk to the far end of Lake Louise in summer, you'll enter a land where winter is still king, and where glaciers have only recently revealed the landscape that was previously hidden by ice. You'll also notice that there is little regrowth on much of the lower valley as you hike up to the Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse. Once glaciers disappear from a mountain valley, it may take a millennia or more before it becomes fully reclaimed by plant communities. This means that the carbon that was being measured in previous studies may have represented plants that colonized the valley long after the glaciers had disappeared. Newer dating methods that don't rely on carbon offered some additional ways to get a better date. Beryllium is a mineral most of us have never heard of. It's a highly toxic and carcinogenic mineral, but it's also one of the lightest metals in the world and has a correspondingly high melting point. These characteristics make beryllium very important in today's cell phones, aeroplanes and even missiles. One isotope, beryllium 10, like carbon 14 is radioactive. The radioactivity is created by cosmic rays colliding with atoms on Earth. In the case of beryllium 10, it's caused when cosmic rays hit oxygen atoms in the bedrock. A layer of ice acts to stop these rays and so measuring how much beryllium 10, which is found in the quartz rocks so common in the mountains, can help to tell us when the rocks were exposed by melting glacial ice. Menounos and his team measured 76 samples from 26 locations to see if dates could be more accurately determined using this new dating method. They visited glacial moraines across British Columbia in order to test the theory that many areas may have been ice-free much earlier than previously believed. The great ice age, the Pleistocene, ended some 14,700 years ago when climates suddenly warmed. At the peak of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, the amount of ice was similar to what can be found in present-day Greenland. The results showed that the moraine samples fell into two age ranges, 12,800 to 15,000 years for the older locations and 9,800 to 13,000 for the younger sites. If we work with the average ages of 13,900 and 11,400 years respectively, the study showed that large areas of the mountain glaciers had already melted prior to earlier estimates of 12,500 years ago. It also shows that ocean waters off the coast of British Columbia would have risen by approximately 4C between 15,500 and 14,000 years ago. This would have melted most of the low-elevation glaciers, leaving only the highest mountain regions ice-free. Also during this period, meltwater would have contributed to sea level increases of 2.5 to 3 metres. In other terms, the mountain glaciers lost half of their mass in less than 400 years. This also changed the ice sheet into a series of interconnected alpine glaciers, and icefields, gradually leaving us with the landscape we recognize today, just on a much much more extensive scale. This study shows that vast amounts of ice had been lost from the mountain landscape at least 2,000 years earlier than previously thought. It also shows that ice sheets as large Greenland's can also melt at a very fast rate. Essentially, once the melt starts, it can take place very quickly. While it may seem that this actually adds to the possibilities of human migrations towards a possible "ice-free corridor", the study shows evidence that low elevation travel routes would have remained ice-choked until long after the migrations would have needed to occur. Way back in episode 6 I talked about some of the new evidence that was rendering the ice-free corridor to the dustbin of history. You can check it out at www.MountainNaturePodcast.com/ep006. The most recent archaeological evidence shows that people had already arrived in North and South America as far back as 14,500 years ago. Assuming that early migrants made it across the ice-free corridor even 13,000 years ago, there is little chance they would have spread to Monte Verde in southern Chile by 14,500 years ago, yet there are archaeological sites that date to that period. Essentially, it's out with the ice-free corridor and in with the kelp highway. What the heck is the kelp highway you ask? Well, it refers to a coastal migration rather than an inland one. It wasn't long ago that this was considered fringe science. All the archaeological eggs were in the ice-free corridor camp and there was little research into an alternative option. Over time though, ancient sites began to appear across the coastal areas of North and South America that kept pushing the tenure of first nations further and further back. Currently, the oldest sites are 14,500 years old in places like the Page-Ladson site in Florida. As far south as this site seems today, this underwater site revealed evidence of mastodon bones that showed signs of human butchering. Even much further south, on the southern end of Chile, lies the Monte Verde site. In 1975 the remains of a Gomphothere, an animal considered to be ancestral to modern-day elephants was found and this spurred further investigations. These revealed amazing artefacts well preserved in a peat bog that included butchered Gomphothere bones, stone hearths, the remains of other local animals, wooden house posts and even bits of animal skin clothing. To most archaeologists used to having to deal with hearths and stone tools, this site was incredibly rich, largely due to the preserving qualities of peat. Again, the dates stretch back to some 14,500 years. Prior to sites like this, the Clovis culture was considered to the be the oldest North American indigenous culture, but these and many more sites are now pre-dating the Clovis culture which was believed to have arrived via the ice-free corridor between 12,900 and 13,200 years ago. So how exactly did these pre-Clovis cultures find themselves in the New World - well that's the kelp highway? Essentially it refers to a coastal migration of peoples confident in traveling by boat along coastal areas taking advantage of plentiful supplies of kelp and seafood that was available. The ice-free corridor Clovis migration has been suffering a death by a thousand cuts over the past few years. Doubtless, Clovis people did take advantage of a corridor across the Bering Strait but it is now clear that they were the followers and not the leaders. They would still have arrived several millennia after the coastal regions had already been settled. In Episode 37, I talk about a new site off the coast of British Columbia that begins to add fuel to the kelp highway migration theory. One of the Achilles heels of this potential migratory route in the past has been the lack of evidence of a coastal migration. A newly announced site on Triquet Island has revealed artefacts at least 14,000 years old. This makes it the oldest archaeological site in Canada and helps to finally build a trail of breadcrumbs to support a coastal migration. We still need to push the chronology back further if we are to bring well-established populations of humans to the southern tip of South America by 14,500 years ago, but perhaps this is a good start. One of the great aspects of science is that until you actually look for something, it may be hiding in plain sight. Some science is the result of just plain luck…looking for one thing, and discovering another. Sometimes, we're just looking in the wrong place. With renewed interest in a coastal migration, there will be more and more resources focused on examining sites that might have been visited by our very oldest ancestors. While part of me laments the loss of a good story on an ice-free corridor migration right past my doorstep, another part of me loves the fact that an entirely new archaeological story is now unfolding. Just to throw another wrinkle into the equation. We're still assuming a migration across the Bering Strait that hugged the Pacific coast of North America. What if these paleo sailors were more adept than we give them credit for? We know that Aboriginal Australians were there by 50,000 years ago. They would have had a more challenging, open-water voyage in order to discover this new continent. Maybe we're just beginning to scratch the surface in a new whodunnit of New World migration. A really unique site in California shows the potential for some kind of early human as far back as 130,000 years ago. The site was found in 1992 beside a highway site near San Diego California. While archaeologists are quibbling about a few hundred years here and there when dating sites, this site has come in more than 100,000 years before anyone thought humans could be in the new world. The site features a partial skeleton of a mastodon that appears to have been butchered by paleo-humans. The outrageous preliminary dating of the site kept it on the fringes until new dating techniques to confirm early dating. This resulted in the new research being published in the Journal Nature just in April of 2017. Every new discovery leads to new rabbit holes of investigation, confirmation, peer review, and then new questions. This site is so wacky early that if it's confirmed by subsequent research, then all human migration theories on the planet will be up for grabs. It's so old that we would be talking about hominids as opposed to humans. I can't wait to see how this story ends. Perhaps we are just at the beginning of a new mystery? Stay tuned. Next up - The greatest land geographer to ever live David Thompson's early years The history of the exploration of Canada is filled with the names of great men. Names like Simon Fraser, Alexander Mackenzie, Samuel Hearne, Anthony Henday, and David Thompson. All of these men were great explorers but in the final tally of simple achievement, none could hold a candle to David Thompson, or as the first nations knew him, the man who looks at stars. Thompson was born on April 30, 1770, in Westminster, England. His family was poor and after his brother was born two years later, his father died leaving the family even the more destitute. The day before his 7th birthday he was enrolled in the Grey Coat School in Westminster. At the time, it was a school devoted to educating poor boys. Its goal was "to educate poor children in the principles of piety and virtue, and thereby lay a foundation for a sober and Christian life". By all accounts, Thompson was an able student and this brought him to the attention of the School Board. In the minutes of their December 30, 1783, meeting it states: "The Master also reports that application was made by the Secretary belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company, to know, if this Charity could furnish them with 4 boys against the month of May next, for their settlements in America. The Master, by order of the Treas (sic) wrote a letter informing the Governor and Directors that there were but two boys that had been taught navigation in the school, which two boys they desire may be qualified for them, vis: Samuel John McPherson and David Thompson." What an adventure for a boy of only 15…or was it? Apparently, Samuel McPherson didn't think so as he did a runner the following day rather than be packed off to the new world. Thompson, on the other hand, embraced the opportunity and on the minutes of the Grey School dated June 29, 1784, he was apprenticed to the Hudson's Bay Company. The minutes state: "On the 20th of May David Thompson, a mathematical Boy belonging to the Hospl (sic) was bound to the Hudson's Bay Company and the Trear then paid Mr Thos. Hutchins, Corresponding Secretary to the said Company, the sum of five pounds for taking the said Boy apprence (sic) for seven years". I can imagine that when the Company ship the Prince Rupert departed London in May of 1784 that many things must have been going through the mind of this bright 15 year old boy. Part of him must have been terrified to leave the only home he had ever known for a vast wilderness. Thompson reflected on his years at the Grey School writing in his journal: "Books in those days were scarce and dear and most of the scholars got the loan of such books as his parents could lend him. Those which pleased us most were the Tales of the Genii, the Persian, and Arabian Tales, with Robinson Crusoe and Gullivers Travels : these gave us many subjects for discussion and how each would behave on various occasions." Doubtless, stories of the hardships awaiting him must have reached his young ears, yet he embraced his fate and soon after, the new world for the rest of his life. As the ship approached the coast of North America he wrote: "We now held our course over the western ocean ; and near the islands of America saw several icebergs, and Hudson's Straits were so full of ice, as to require the time of near a month to pass them ; this being effected the three ships separated, one for Albany and Moose Factories, another for York Factory, and the third for Churchill Factory at which last place we arrived in the beginning of September 1784." Thompson continued: "Hudson's Bay, including Jame's Bay, may be said to be an inland sea, connected to the Atlantic Ocean by Hudson's Straits…On its west side it receives Seal, Churchill, the Kissiskatchewan (now known as the Nelson), Hayes, Severn, Albany, and Moose Rivers; on the east side Ruperts and several other Rivers, the names of which are unknown as they come from barren, desolate, countries." What a first impression it must have been for Thompson? Fort Churchill was isolated at what must have seemed like the end of the world, especially when he learned: "The Factory is supplied once a year with goods and provisions, by a Ship which arrives on the last days of August, or early September, and in about ten days is ready for her homeward voyage; the severity of the climate requiring all possible dispatch." Thompson saw adventure along with hardship. In autumn, just like they do today for the viewing pleasure of thousands of tourists, the polar bears arrive at Churchill. Thompson wrote: "The polar Bear now makes his appearance, and prowls about until the ice at the sea shore is extended to a considerable distance ; when he leaves to prey on the Seal, his favourite food : during his stay he is for plunder and every kind of mischief, but not willing to fight for it." While the cold and the wind bothered all, there was little snow until the latter part of December when: "a north east snow storm of three days continuance drifted the snow to the height of the stockades and over them, and filled the whole yard to the depth of six to ten feet, which could not be cleared, and through which avenues had to be cut and cleared of about four feet in width ; and thus remained till late in April, when a gradual thaw cleared the snow away. From the end of October to the end of April every step we walk is in Snow Shoes. The Natives walk with ease and activity, and also many of us: but some find them a sad incumbrance, their feet become sore and their ankles sprained; with many a tumble in the snow from which it is sometimes difficult to rise." The winds of Hudson Bay are legendary. Any snow that falls quickly forms in huge drifts. After spending three weeks on the Bay this fall, I can see how the stockades would catch the drifting snow and how it would fill the enclosed yard as well. The climate is the great arbiter in the north and he wrote: "The country, soil, and climate in which we live, have always a powerful effect upon the state of society, and the movements and comforts of every individual, he must conform himself to the circumstances under which he is placed, and as such we lived and conducted ourselves in this extreme cold climate. All our movements more, or less, were for self-preservation : All the wood that could be collected for fuel, gave us only one fire in the morning, and another in the evening…" "The interior of the walls of the House were covered with rime to the thickness of four inches, pieces of which often broke off, to prevent which we wetted the whole extent, and made it a coat of ice, after which it remained firm, and added to the warmth of the House, for the cold is so intense, that everything in a manner is shivered by it" When the summer sun arrived, so did the swarms of mosquitoes. Thompson wrote: "Summer such as it is, comes at once, and with it myriads of tormenting Musketoes ; the air is thick with them, there is no cessation day nor night of suffering from them. Smoke is no relief, they can stand more smoke than we can, and smoke cannot be carried about with us. The narrow windows were so crowded with them, they trod each other to death in such numbers, we had to sweep them out twice a day ; a chance cold northeast gale of wind was a grateful relief, and [we] were thankful for the cold weather that put an end to our sufferings. " "different Persons feel them in a different manner ; some are swelled, even bloated, with intolerable itching ; others feel only the smart of the minute wounds ; Oil is the only remedy and that frequently applied ; the Natives rub themselves with Sturgeon Oil, which is found to be far more effective than any other oil. All animals suffer from them, almost to madness, even the well-feathered Birds suffer about the eyes and neck. The cold nights of September are the first and most steady relief." At one point, Thompson began to wonder why he had been brought at all: "It had been the custom for many years, when the governors of the factory required a clerk, to send to the school in which I was educated to procure a Scholar who had a mathematical education to send out as Clerk, and, to save expenses, he was bound apprentice to them for seven years. To learn what ; for all I had seen in their service neither writing nor reading was required, and my only business was to amuse myself, in winter growling at the cold ; and in the open season shooting Gulls, Ducks, Plover and Curlews, and quarelling with Musketoes and Sand flies." After spending a year at Churchill, he was sent to York Factory after the supply ship had arrived at Churchill in 1785. He was sent out, accompanied by two natives, on foot, without provisions, to walk 240 km in the cold of autumn to bring mail that had arrived on the ship to another fort. He was accorded a single blanket to keep him warm at nights. At the same time, two natives would be sent from York Factory to Churchill. This would give each fort current information about the state of the other while also forming as a ready means of communicating between the forts. They were dropped at Cape Churchill and while Thomson was given a blanket, his guides were given a gallon of strong whiskey. Alas, the day was lost as they quickly set down to consume the spirits. Thompson always opposed the use of whiskey in the fur trade and banned it from any post that he was in control of. The next day they walked all day without breakfast or lunch, and in the evening his guides shot a goose and three ducks. He arrived on Sept 13 and spent the winter in the fort and quickly settled into a new routine. The natives that walked with him were given 3 gallons of brandy and 4 pounds of tobacco. The fall and winter are spent collecting all manner of food, fishing, snaring hares, hunting geese in the fall and ptarmigan in the winter, and basically trying to stay warm. The forts had to be completely self-sufficient. March and April seem to be the months when snow blindness is most prevalent. Thompson writes: "As I never had it, I can only describe the sensations of my companions. Accustomed to march in all weathers, I had acquired a power over my eyelids to open, or contract them as circumstances required, and to admit only the requisite quantity of light to guide me, and thus [I] prevented the painful effects of snow blindness. In the case of those affected the blue eye suffers first and most, the gray eye next, and the black eye the least ; but none are exempt from snow blindness ; the sensations of my companions, and others, were all the same ; they all complained of their eyes, being, as it were, full of burning sand ; I have seen hardy men crying like children, after a hard march of four months in winter. Three men and myself made for a trading post in the latter part of March. They all became snow blind, and for the last four days I had to lead them with a string tied to my belt, and [they] were so completely blind that when they wished to drink of the little pools of melted snow, I had to put their hands in the water. They could not sleep at night. On arriving at the trading Post, they were soon relieved by the application of the steam of boiling water as hot as they could bear it, this is the Indian mode of cure, and the only efficient cure yet known, but all complained of weakness of sight for several months after." The Bay men had mastered the north country. As they expanded their influence further west, they encountered the peoples of the Blackfoot Confederacy, in particular, the Peigan. He wasn't the first to visit the Blackfoot, that honour was reserved for Anthony Henday who visited the area in 1754. Henday was trying to sell an impossibility though. He was trying to convince them to go to the Bay to sell their furs. This was pretty much a non-starter for a population of the grasslands. He learned that, rather than travel long distances to the Bay, the Blackfoot would sell their furs to the Cree, who would, in turn, trade them to the Company at York Factory for a profit. An additional wrinkle was that the rival Northwest Company had built forts far more convenient to the Cree and they would get the best furs long before the remaining poorer quality pelts made their way to the Bay. The Northwest Company sent men out, onto the land, to meet, live with, learn the languages of, and in some cases, intermarry with the indigenous people of the hinterlands. The Blackfoot, while they enjoyed the whiteman's trade goods, they really didn't need them, and they definitely didn't want trading posts in their territory. They also were in a position to manage trade across the continental divide to British Columbia. Essentially, any Hudson's Bay Man wanting to visit B.C. would have to go through them. To negotiate with the Blackfoot, the company sent James Gaddy who spent three winters living with the Peigan in the foothills west of Calgary. In 1787, 17-year old David Thompson accompanied him. At this point, nobody had realized that David was no ordinary teenager. He kept a careful journal and decades later would use it to write his memoirs. Thompson described the people that he stayed with and the stories shared with him by them: "The Peeagan in whose tent I passed the winter was an old man of at least 75 to 80 years of age ; his height about six feet, two or three inches, broad shoulders, strong limbed, his hair gray and plentiful, forehead high and nose prominent, his face slightly marked with the small pox, and alltogether his countenance mild, and even, sometimes playfull ; although his step was firm and he rode with ease, he no longer hunted, this he left to his sons ; his name was Saukamappee (Young Man) ; his account of former times went back to about 1730…" Saukamappee was not of the Peigan, today referred to by the name Pikani. He was part of a Cree nation known as the Nahathaway with whom the Pikani were closely allied. Both nations were constantly at war with the Snake or Shoshone Indians to the south. Usually, they were very well matched in terms of weaponry and few people died in their skirmishes…at least in the early days. Saukamappee related how the arms race began to alter the balance of power as horses and guns began to appear. "By this time the affairs of both parties had much changed ; we had more guns and iron headed arrows than before ; but our enemies the Snake Indians and their allies had Misstutim (Big Dogs, that is Horses) on which they rode, swift as the Deer, on which they dashed at the Peeagans, and with their stone Pukamoggan (war clubs) knocked them on the head, and they had thus lost several of their best men. This news we did not well comprehend and it alarmed us, for we had no idea of Horses and could not make out what they were. Only three of us went and I should not have gone, had not my wife's relations frequently intimated, that her father's medicine bag would be honored by the scalp of a Snake Indian." Guns and horse began to change the landscape of the plains. The Pikani won with the help of the Nahathaway guns. Thankfully, the Snake Indians didn't have any horses with them in this battle. A few days later, Saukamappee saw his first horse, a dead one that had been killed in a different skirmish. The Peigan were able to keep the Snakes gun-poor as they were able to control access to the Hudson's Bay and Northwest Company supply of trade goods. This allowed the Peigan to expand greatly across the plains until they encountered an unstoppable foe - Smallpox. "While we have these weapons, the Snake Indians have none, but what few they sometimes take from one of our small camps which they have destroyed, and they have no Traders among them. We thus continued to advance through the fine plains to the Stag River when death ca

“You learn to speak your native language at home, because that gives you a good sense of who you are.” Language is a powerful tool, not only for communication and human relations, but also for providing a sense of identity and our place in the world. In this episode, Judithe is joined by Adebayo, the founder and lead programmer for Genii Games Limited, to discuss the power of language. Genii Games is at the forefront of using mobile apps and video games to foster a love of local culture, specifically native African languages.

In this episode I talk to magician Suzanne! We cover various topics like what she learned studying under Al Schneider and what you can learn about your audience from a horse! Suzanne is a world class magician and expert story teller from Minneapolis/St. Paul MN! Using her magic as a vehicle to play with her audiences, Suzanne specializes in performing close-up magic for corporate and private audiences as well as at a number of restaurants in her area. She’s also a favorite at the Hollywood Magic Castle where she's been the only female magician to not only be nominated for, but also win Close Up Magician of the Year which she received in 2010. She’s also appeared on the covers of Genii and MUM magazines. She makes shy people shine and bold people laugh. Jonathan Levit says "Her routines are masked in stories that touch your heartstrings and tie into her mystical imagination.”     Success Quotes: Follow your bliss. — Joseph Campbell Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” — Hunter S Thompson     Failure Moment: This isn't a failure per se, but Suzanne talks about her struggle with cancer and what she took away from that. She learned how to stand up for herself and how to separate work and personal life. She also tells how magic, her bliss, helper her through this challenging time.     Favorite Success: Being so accepted at the hollywood Magic Castle.     Lessons from Al Schneider Suzanne had the opportunity to study under Al Schneider. A couple things she learned from him are in magic, all your movements need to look natural, whether you're putting a coin in your hand or faking it. Also, when you create a moment of magic, give your audience the time they need to fully process what they just experienced. Don't just plow through it. It's very personal to them.     Lessons from a Horse Believe it or not, there's a lot to be learned about your audience from a horse! • Magicians can be likened to a predator and the audience, prey. • Communicating subconsciously. • Reading body language and adjusting your performance accordingly. • Putting your audience at ease. • Be aware of your own body language.   How Does Suzanne Differentiate Herself? The magic is not about her, it's about how she makes her audience feel.     What's worked best for growing her business? Word of mouth.     Biggest Professional Challenge Breaking the preconception of the magician and teaching the lay audience about magic.   What would she have done different? She wouldn't have tried to do everything. She would have hired people do do things like marketing and other tasks she's not good at.     Interesting Story from Career Suzanne tells about her first interaction with The Professor, Dai Vernon.     Parting Advice Always do what you love.     Other Topics Covered • The importance of having support from your spouse when pursuing your dream.     Recommended books and resources: Note: Many of the links in this section are affiliate links, meaning we earn a small portion of any sales.
