Just Pick A Ccird -Any Card! F'ar n m tle night, coins van- ishied, carda materiaiized out o! thin air, rabbits poked thieir noses from pre-vioujsly emipty hats, and simlar acîs occurred in deliance of ail niatunal laws.

Among tie 400-odd registrants, tlere were doctors, lawyers, Clergymen, industrialists, mer- chants, college professoi-s, sales- mnen, two policemen, andi one funieral director. There was no record o! nniy çnndlestick maker but there wns one baker (AI Gosîmari of Brooklyn, N.Y, wlo bilied himscif ns "lie baker wlo's a f aker"). For lince days, tley wntlhed eacIb other perform aI forii and -linformiaI slows, attendod lectures and worksiop sessions, demonstrated new tricks, and sjlopped dispinys set uop by tle deniers ini magic apparatus (in addtiioni to tliousands of joke and novclty shops, there are cilcnfirms in tie US. dle- voted exclusýively 10 therea- ing of magicians' paraphernalia).

A youthful 64, Cardini producecd fans of carda, liglted cigarettes from thc air witl a]! the old skili thnt made him a vaudeville hcadliner and a supper-club stair. To tle neoplyte, Candini lad this advice: "Mvagie is a greal hobby, but stay ouI of show business." At magic conventions, tie pro- fessionals iobnob with tle amna- teurs 10 an extent unknown la othier pursuits. The renson: Most .new Magic effêets are crented by amateurs or semiprofessiânals. The professionals are too busy perfecting what they lr-endy know 10 develop innovations o! fhi own. John Mulollnnd, author, lecturer, and n, good gray dean among prestidligita- tols put ilt tus way: "Magicianis are naturally gregarious, be- cause magic as a hobby is basic- aliy a social oullel. The good mnagician must like people." lHe tin ticked off a long line of proniinent amateurs: TV star Jack Pnnr, ventiloquist. Edgar Bergen, and actons Orsoni Welles, Harold Lloyd, and Ches- ter Mor-ris; and from îlhe liter- ery past, Lewis Carrol and Charles Dickens. James C. Johnson, a Hartford psycliatrisl, delved a bit deopor i-b î te motivation of the trick- sien. An amnateur margician 1-i- self, le chnnactenized flec aver- age amateur as "n rather inf an- ile personality." Doing tricks, he said, represonts "a personal ncting-out of somne ratier primi- tive needas of tie indîviduni Îjn tIe handling of symbolic mater- il'" For example, in puiling n raîbit fnomn a laI, -,llbai is a wanorderfully abundant uterus tint gives uirho tle raibit." But ai leasi magicians are basi- eally loneat, le snid. "If they wxeren'l doing magic tley prob- ably .would le emlezzlers or c-onfidence men." On lie credit side, even psy- ehiatrist Johnson lad soine kind words for île magie loblylst.
