How to learn magic and become a magician….  By : Frederic Sharp Is your dream to become a magician? Magic is something that has always fascinated me as an art form and also as a profession. But how do you become a magician, where do you start? This is probably the most common question that spectators ask when they meet a professional magician. Well this is my personal story as I don’t think there is set way of becoming a magician. For me, it all started with the amazement that magic generated in me whenever I watched magicians on TV or live shows. One of my older cousins also had an interest in magic and used to get catalogues from a magic dealer in France. The description of the effects that you could accomplish (after purchasing the props or technical book / video) was fascinating and the publicity even made it sound like it was pretty easy. I didn’t know anything about magic but that was how it all started for me. Back then, there was no such thing as internet – and there were only a handful of magic shops in France, charging a lot of money for the very special items they were selling on a real niche market. I first ordered a few magic tricks that I thought were a bit disappointing. Then I got my first magic book, called “The Magic Book”, by Harry Lorraine. The book had been translated into French which helped as my English was pretty basic at the time. I highly recommend this book if you can get hold of it as it contains a great variety of material and techniques. Basic coin magic and card magic is covered but also some mentalism (mind magic) effects and general magic with everyday objects. As soon as I got the book, I started practicing very seriously, dedicating most of my spare time to the study of magic. I got my first pack of Bicycle Playing cards (made by the United States Playing Card Company or USPCC) and practiced most of the basic card techniques that are needed in order to perform the tricks that described in the magic literature. Once you have mastered about half a dozen of important card techniques, you can then learn hundreds of card routines created over the years by our magic community. Of course, I must point out that you do not need hundreds of card routines in your repertoire. The same applies to coin magic. Once you have learned the most important coin techniques, you can then learn the routines created by magicians. David Stone, David Roth, David Williamson are excellent coin magicians and I would highly recommend the material they have created. The two most common formats for learning magic are books or dvd. So which format should you go for? Color mixing Theory & tips  By : M.Awara Color mixing is generally the first stumbling block for the novice-painting artist. It is not an exact science.

Rembrandt's Life: The Great Story About Rembrandt's History and Life  By : Alfred Berger While the world pays respectful tribute to Rembrandt Van Ryn the artist, it has been compelled to wait until comparatively recent years for some small measure of reliable information concerning Rembrandt Van Ryn the man. Rembrandt Van Ryn was born in the pleasant city of Leyden, but it is not easy to name the precise year. Somewhere between 1604 and 1607 he started his troubled journey through life, and of his childhood the records are scanty. Doubtless, his youthful imagination was stirred by the sights of the city, the barges moving slowly along the canals, the windmills that were never at rest, the changing chiaroscuro of the flooded, dyke-seamed land. May be he saw these things with the large eye of the artist, for he could not have turned to any point of the compass without finding a picture lying ready for treatment.

The whole thing turned out to be an absolute car wreck from the outset, without really any great performers and a whole slew of terrible, awful, unbelievably bad singers. Seattle is actually known for its musical sensibilities and this is one reason that the episode was so disarming. Whether or not Seattle's true talent level was really on display is unknown/ What is known is that tho Grey's Anatomy: Preston Burke/Isaiah Washington is a Jerk (But that's OK)  By : Groshan Fabiola Grey's Anatomy is a diverse, great show that millions of Americans watch with weekly anticipation. The recent gossip regarding the on set behavior of Isaiah Washington have, thus, been very unfortunate. Washington recently called one of his castmates a homosexual slur, and the backlash from this incident is extreme. The BuddyTV article we're linked to makes a very different and interesting argument. The media coverage of this event has been pretty one-sided: Washington should be canned, or shoul One Tree Hill Spoiler and the College Conundrum  By : Groshan Fabiola Teen dramas, or any show that begins in high school, have always been a staple of prime time television. These shows acquire rabid and loyal fan bases and speak to the millions of teenagers in the country. However, the age old dilemma always ops up after a few seasons: How do you move the show on to high school? This question is always answered in different, yet wholly unsatisfying ways. The show will often transplant the entire cast to one college campus. Not only is the implausible, but silly.

Deal or No Deal and the Gambling American  By : Groshan Fabiola Deal or No Deal is a great show that, like the BuddyTV article states, taps into the American fascination with gambling. The contestants on Deal or No Deal are very diverse, as is America, and their reactions to specific situations are very different. However, if you look closer the way people play the game is more or less the same. People who go on the show are always looking for a big payday. Of course, right?
