Magician to Conjure up Funds for Charity
(Feb 10)
The Belfast news reports on the efforts of magician Paul
Starr to raise half a million pounds for Alzheimer's
Northern Ireland in memory of his late mother. "I want to
do something in her memory and I am offering my services
free of charge for fundraising shows throughout the
province. I am hoping to do two or three of these shows a
month and I'm looking to hear from anyone interested in
helping out. We need venues in which to hold shows and it
can be anywhere in Northern Ireland. I don't mind if the
hosts make some money from the bar or whatever, but all the
money raised by the show itself will go to the charity.
Half a million pounds is a big target but I will continue
to do as much as I can for as long as I can in memory of my
mother."

A Magician With More Than One Trick
(Feb 10)
Magician K S Ramesh of india is profiled in an article from
the New Kerela that calls him, "a self-taught magician who
caught the 'magic' bug during his childhood and has refined
the art through practice and hard work of almost three
decades, which has seen him transcending international
boundaries with this art." "Magic is a secretive art and is
handed down from generation to generation," he says
explaining the "mystery" attached to the profession. A
member of the UK based Magic Circle, Ramesh believes that,
"Without official patronage, magic is a dying art in
India." It is for this reason that he has started a magic
school in Bangalore.

Mystic, Magician, or Madman?
(Feb 9)
Uri Gellar is the subject of an article in the online
edition of the newspaper of Imperial College. The article
opens, "Mystic, Magician, or Madman? I was going to add
charlatan to that list but it would have broken up the
chain of alliteration. No, but seriously, I have to be
very careful about what I say. Geller has a history of
litigation proceedings against anyone who tries to slander
his name or what he does."

Magical Merchandise Just The Trick
(Feb 4)
Rick and Karen Rogers, owners of the new Rick
Rogers Family Magic Shop in downtown Albany are profiled in
an article from the Gazette Times in which Rick is quoted,
"A lot of stores that carry this stuff, the people there
won't even know how to open the box, let alone know how to
use it," said Rick Rogers, gesturing to one of his bigger
magic sets for beginners. "One good thing about our store
is my wife and I are both magicians. We had a grandparent
buy a set for their grandson, and he understood some stuff
but was having a problem with one trick. I worked with him
until he had it down. It's fun to teach this stuff."
