809: Tales From The Road

At last year’s “Magic at the Beach” convention in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the organizer, Charles Bach, asked his friends and fellow performers to participate in a panel discussion where they would recount some of their “horror stories” from the road. All of us have had problems getting to or from our shows or even during our shows. For the most part, those are not pleasant memories to remember, much less than to retell to a large group of magicians.

This week, John Shryock hosts a panel of magicians who “bare it all” by retelling some stories that were painful to remember and in some cases were just painful. Featured in this podcast are stories told by John Shryock, Eric Buss, Dan Harlan, Kerry Pollock, Charles Bach, and Greg Frewin. After the panel discussion, we hear from three more of the performers in an outside setting who recount their own “Tales From The Road”: Wacky Chad, Steve Beam and Amazing Adam

I'm honestly shocked that since Emotion/Representation aired I've yet to see anyone do anything at all with Felix and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein??? I think about it every day it's literally THE Felix piece of media. It's his entire character thesis. What are we doing guys

I KNOW I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT THE OTHER DAY

To be fair I have seen a few people headcanoning it as one of Felix’s favourite books (Which yes. Absolutely. 1,000,000%) but there hasn’t been any fics/art/edits/etc. about it yet to my knowledge. My copy is at my parents’ and in French but I am tempted to find an English PDF since it’s been public domain for a good while now. The web weave potential is insane.

I have many thoughts about Felix and literature in general… I have him quote Cyrano de Bergerac all the time in my fics, for example. I was thinking of starting a list of works of art and literature he’d enjoy, so I’ll take this as a sign to get writing! I can get my fandom friends to make some suggestions as well! 📝

Edit: @bittersweetresilience got us covered, our honour is safe 💜🦚

#For now I really need to go to bed but here’s an overview:#Frankenstein and Cyrano of course #The portrait of Dorian Gray for Emilie #Ovid’s Metamorphoses (my sister and I actually wrote a fic about it!)#L’Albatros by Charles Baudelaire (see: web weave)#Psychopompe by Amélie Nothomb (see: other web weave)#J’aime l’araignée et j’aime l’ortie by Victor Hugo #She walks in beauty by Byron for Kagami #East of Eden (I’ve yet to read it but the movie is one of my favourites to this day)#Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux #The Odyssey and EPIC #All of Magritte’s art but especially La Grande Famille & L’Empire des Lumières & La Trahison des Images #Stuart Semple’s entire vibe #I wonder what he’d think of Bauhaus art actually. The entire philosophy would create conflicting feelings I’m sure #Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns #Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor #He’d also prefer Salieri to Mozart while also detailing how Salieri actually made a name for himself every time the topic comes up #OH and he has the biggest crush on Milady de Winter #And Zagreus from Hades #miraculous ladybug #felix graham de vanily #tumblr asks

The Magnificant Seven in September 1914

Brave men and women from my new book

Rare photo of the Americans who persuaded their countrymen to go to war for France 954 days before their country did.

Seven American volunteers photographed in September 1914 in Toulouse in France a month after they had joined the French Foreign Legion and a few weeks before they were sent to the front. It was an amazing lot that only a war can bring together. I think I have identified them: (standing) Georges Casmeze, a businessman who took the initiative to summon the American volunteers when France went to war; Charles Sweeny, a soldier-of-fortune and later friend of Hemingway; Jack Casey, a talented artist from San Francisco, who did some wonderful sketches of his comrades in the trenches; Bert Hall, a talkative adventurer of many trades; (sitting) James Stewart Carstairs, a rich artist and art collector who committed suicide; William Thaw, son of one of America’s richest families and finally James Bach, a mechanical engineer who in 1915 with Hall and Thaw joined the famous Escadrille Lafayette.

The seven men in the photo belonged to a group of 44 American volunteers, who joined the Foreign Legion in Paris in August 1914. After years of research, I know the personal history of each of these men, and in my new book “Fighting for The French Foreign Legion”, I try to tell how every one of them gave a valuable contribution to modern history, and strengthened relations between France and America.

"The past and the present and the future -- Faith and hope and charity -- The heart and the brain and the body give you three as a magic number."

x~x~x~x

HPHM Cardverse developed by @ariparri // Read about Lane's escape from the Country of Spades! // meet the "Three of Hearts," Sarahi Silvers! @dat-silvers-girl

x~x~x~x

The life of Lane Cromwell has always seemingly been made up of threes. She'd been her parents' third child, as well as the youngest of three sisters. She'd studied gold and silversmithing under her father for three years. She fell in love with her husband after three days. Her tiny, close-knit family was comprised of herself, her son Jacob, and her daughter Carewyn. It took her three times to score her dream job in Spades, working as a museum curator and historian. Even her life, it seemed, could be split up into three stages --

Past. Present. Future.

Daughter. Wife. Mother.

Diamond Empire. Country of Spades. Land of Clubs.

Three of Diamonds

The three of diamonds is the card of professionalism and career. It means that you should stay focused on your work and business. Do not let some shiny object distract you. The three of diamonds suggests that you will be well-appreciated and rewarded for your current work. It can also represent a sudden surprise.

In the Diamond Empire, Lane's life was dictated by her role as the third daughter of the Cromwell Clan Jewelers. She was the brain of her siblings, and she'd been trained to solely focus on that role she had to play, polishing gems to perfection that her father could sell and quietly obeying his will in how to live her life. But then, out of the blue one day, a opportunity for a better life appeared, in the form of a young man from the Country of Spades named Evan Bach, who showed Lane her first real glimpse of sincere, selfless love. And in the end, Lane chose that opportunity for a better, loving life with Evan over career, wealth, and her abusive family. She and Evan eloped and ran off to the Country of Spades to start a family far away from Charles Cromwell -- which, quite frankly, is the best reward all of Lane's hard work could've ever received.

Three of Spades

The three of spades is an unwelcome card, to say the least. It represents a change of plans, one that usually results in emotional pain and a broken heart. In a mild case, this card can announce a cancelled date or misunderstandings between two lovers, but at its worst, it can be an omen for a break-up or divorce.

Sadly, as much as Evan and Lane had loved each other and as grateful as Lane was for Evan helping her escape her toxic family, their relationship did not last. After years of marital strife, Evan left his family, leaving Lane to raise their two children Jacob and Carewyn on her own. Fortunately this change of plans was one Lane was able to adapt to -- she got a job and set about rebuilding her life with her "bairns." Her son Jacob scored a job with the "Counselor of Spades," himself, Duncan Ashe, and her daughter Carewyn earned a scholarship to attend school in the Kingdom of Hearts. Soon both Lane and Jacob would leave Spades to join her there...

Just as it seemed like everything was on track, however, Lane was hit with another terrible change of plans. Lane's work visa to Hearts was rescinded, and not long later Jacob sent his mother an urgent letter telling her to leave Spades without him, before Rakepick could capture her. Hating the thought of leaving her son behind but knowing her getting caught would make it that much harder for Jacob to escape himself and potentially put Carewyn at risk, Lane was forced to flee on foot, southward into the Land of Clubs.

Three of Clubs

To draw the three of clubs means you've been dealt a good hand. It's a sign that your judgment is sound and that your efforts will be reap success. The three of clubs has such a positive influence that it's a trump that counteracts all the negative cards next to it. It's an omen that you will gain fortune and fame. In some readings, it can even mean hope.

Fortunately, once Lane escaped into Clubs, she found sanctuary under the King of Clubs, Orion Amari. The King and his court were also responsible for Lane reuniting with her daughter Carewyn, who had since been crowned the new Queen of Hearts. And after the War was over, Lane and Carewyn were also miraculously reunited with Jacob, who'd been through his own fair share of tribulations and become infamous across Cinderhaven as "the Escape Artist."

After the Civil War in Spades was over, Lane decided not to move to Hearts with Carewyn or return to her old job and flat in Spades. Instead Lane lived the rest of her life quietly and peacefully in the Land of Clubs as a royal historian. Clubs' rolling fields, untamed woods, ancient libraries, and clean air were medicinal to Lane's spirit, and her resettlement allowed Lane to take some well-deserved time chasing her own happiness, instead of just keeping her family afloat financially. And as part of that happiness, her cottage in the woods beside Clubs' museum and university was always open for visits from those few precious people she loved more than anyone else in the world.

For the first time in her life, the third daughter of Charles Cromwell had found herself in a place where she could be fully herself and that truly embodied the feeling of the word "home."

I've missed this :')#but yeah orion and lane get on super well and not just bc orion and carewyn are so fond of each other #their personalities just also gel really well XDDD #I originally wanted to draw this but the original art just did *not* come out the way I wanted it to #so I decided to just write out a post >>;#who knows maybe if I can finally get that art to look the way I want it to I'll post it #I do like the idea of young!lane in diamonds having that gorgeous grecian aesthetic :3 #she honestly would ttly rock some spades high-waisted pants and boots too but sorry she just belongs in clubs XD

"oh no, the urge to reblog this random gifset of an actor just because it mentions bach so i could go "Ahh, Bach!" but almost nobody would know WTF i was on about most of them would just think i was really into bach"

#it's from M*A*S*H btw #i often get random mash quotes in my head #'ahh bach!' is of course what you say to a woman who talks to you about classical music so she thinks you're into that sort of thing #i think it's a fairly early episode? radar wants to get a girlfriend in it. hence the need to pretend he likes bach.#now i am imagining him saying that to Charles and charles just staring at him because the farm-boy couldn't POSSIBLY like bach #he doesn't as it happens but still that's very classist of you Charles!#Ahh Bach!

806: Charles Bach - A Classy and Classic Performer

A direct descendant of the classic composer, Johann Sebastian Bach, Charles Bach is himself a creative musician, magician, dancer and choreographer. He danced in New York City then moved to Las Vegas where he performed at the former Caesars Magic Empire, then aboard cruise ships, before landing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where he performs in his own theatre, the Charles Bach Wonders Theatre.

youtube

Charles talks about his long and winding road that has led him to Myrtle Beach, SC, where he performs nightly in his own theater. He was also friends with the late Chappy Brazil, who was a well known and respected magician and master of the watch steal. Among many other things discussed in this episode, Charles recounts in some detail the night of Chappy’s untimely death.

SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Throw the First Stone (A Psychedelic Soul Suite)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyyvKytF_uU

—A ramble in 3 parts:

Part I: A string quartet from Stockholm (courtesy of my friend Bil Bryant) plays over a frenzied live band in Japan, performed by bassist Jerry Renino, guitarist Wayne Avers, and drummer Sandy Gennaro (all ex-sidemen for The Monkees). Call this an act of xenochrony, a recording studio technique where parts are lifted from their original context and placed into a different work. Composer Charles Ives invented this approach after he noticed parade bands blending with one another by “chance,” so he harnessed it by design.

Part II: A Talking Heads-influenced update on a song I’d written after observing journalists, TV evangelists, politicians, and others engaged in petulant name-calling (“and the names go ‘round like a blimp that blew up in your phone”). The street level phrase “throw the first stone” originally comes from the incident recorded in St. John’s Gospel. A mob of religious men are preparing to stone an adulterous woman to death, and they confronted Jesus about it, like he should commend such a harsh punishment. Instead, Jesus calmly said, “He that is without sin among you, throw the first stone at her.” One by one the men drifted away because of the truth: All have sinned and need to self-judge before judging others.

Part III: More xenochrony, referencing J.S. Bach, “Greensleeves,” the fade of “All You Need is Love” (The Beatles), etc. while segueing to dreamy riff on resonator guitar and keyboards.

The term xenochrony comes from a Greek word meaning “strange and alien time.” Time can be chronology, or a collection of images and memories stacked together at will. Stravinsky said, “Music is but another way to measure time.” Current events may seem strange and alien, but we have an opportunity to make the best of the time. Now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyyvKytF_uU

Clavicembalo con pedaliera

Luc Beauséjour interpreta la Toccata e Fuga in re minore, composta forse da J. S. Bach (BWV 565) o più probabilmente da Johann Peter Kellner (*), suonando un clavicembalo provvisto di due manuali e una pedaliera. L’esistenza di strumenti consimili è documentata a partire dal Quattrocento: un clavichordum cum calcatorio è citato nel trattato enciclopedico Liber XX Artium (c1460) di Paulus…
