February 21st, 2012 by The Magician | No Comments | Filed in Magic News

by Dennis Schick, Broken Wand editor

It is mid-February and I just sent to production the Broken Wand for the March issue of The Linking Ring. We publish it here at this time in order to give a heads up to friends and acquaintenaces of the ten magicians who we learned over the last thirty days, had died. We appreciate the help from all the people who notified the I.B.M. Office of the deaths, as well as sent to us obituaries, photos, and information to include in our obituaries. We are honored to be the primary repository of magician obituaries. Thank you for helping us pay tribute to them for all the joy they brought to other people.

Sea the Magic Hospital Shows July 3 in Virginia

February 9th, 2012 by The Magician | No Comments | Filed in Magic News

By Scott Hood, President Ring 49, Hamilton Ontario, Canada

Once again the I.B.M. 2012 Convention (whose slogan is “Sea the Magic • Norfolk“) planning committee is hard at work pulling together the annual “Operation Tricks Are Treats” hospital shows. It has been the I.B.M. practice for many years to have some of the magicians who are attending the annual convention to donate their time and talents to perform for local hospitals in the convention city and area. Norfolk 2012 will be no exception. However, 2012 will have a slightly different twist to it.

February 7th, 2012 by The Magician | Comments Off | Filed in Magic News

The February 2012 issue of The Linking RIng features as its cover story the exciting quick change act, Lex Schappi and Alina.  The cover photo — which shows the couple in action — is one of the most exciting photos for the magazine in a long time, perhaps going back back to the August 2009 issue, which featured a montage of photos from the Nashville I.B.M. Convention. (The standard cover photo of The Linking Ring is a head-and-shoulders photo of the subject.) See more photos and read the story of how this couple has grown into one of the top quick change acts in the world. And learn more about the history and other aspects of quick change. Read on for summaries of the rest of the issue.
