Breaking Barriers: How Art Affects Life

 
A story about 18 year old close-up magician,
Nathan Hickey, from Apalachin, New York.
by Cliff Bumgardner
_______ . _________

Nathan Hickey - first bitten by the magic bug by watching the World’s Greatest Magic TV specials when he was younger.  He said that he taped them all and I would watch them over and over trying to figure them out and being amazed at all the big illusions. Nathan then took an interest in card and close-up magic after attending his first I.B.M. meeting at Ring 79. He was blown away watching Gary Freed perform. Since that day, the I.B.M. and Ring 79 in Binghamton, New York,  have continued to have profound effects on Nathan’s magic career. He says, “The people in my Ring were extremely helpful in teaching me the right way to approach magic and helping me advance in the art...

SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF THE LINKING RING HAS ARRIVED

By C. Dennis Schick, I.B.M. Portal Editor (posted 9/2/10)

     The computer gremlins have been messing around again, but the September issue of The Linking RIng has been posted on the portal (see the cover above), and is in the mail.  While you are waiting for your hard copy, remember that the entire issue is available to you RIGHT NOW -- if you're an I.B.M. member --  either to download and be available on your computer all the time, or to read on the Internet, in digital form.

    When you go to the digital edition, look at the tool bar at the top. Notice that you can ZOOM to make the page and type larger (for us with bifocals), can use the search feature to find specific people, etc., and do other neat stuff. And isn't it fun to turn pages, in 3-D?

     What follows is a summary of some of the highlights of the September issue.  Executive Editor Sammy Smith and his stellar staff have put together another interesting, informative, and entertaining issue for all of us who love magic.

Rolando Santos: International President

rolando1Rolando Santos: If You Believe, They Will Believe

By Chip MacGregor


Our incoming International President is a big believer in magic. He believes the performance of our art can actually have a “magical” effect on other people. In fact, he knows it’s true from personal experience.

In 1998, while Rolando Santos was living in Madrid and helping launch the second of four CNN news networks around the world, he found himself having dinner at a place called La Cava. While enjoying a great steak, tapas, and wine, he was also reading the Roberto Giobbi card magic book, Giobbi Light. The book had been translated into Spanish long before it made its way to the United States. As Rolando tells it, “I was just fiddling with a deck of cards and making notes in my magic journal. At the table behind me were four women, including an older woman who was obviously the matriarch of the family and her daughters.”
