Keith Pascal: In The World of Magic
Before I started writing my own magic books, I occasionally made an appearance in someone else's book or video. These are nothing more than 'cameo mentions.' Here goes -- Fooling Pavlov, the last trick in Dave Harkey and Eric Anderson's book Aha! was included with my permission. I am the "Spanish Teacher" mentioned in Paul Harris' The Art of Astonishment, Volume One. Finally, I am the audience member on the side with the Pink Floyd necktie, in Darwin Ortiz's video, Card Shark.
With Lee Asher
I respect Lee Asher more than just about any other magician in the world -- and it has nothing to do with the fact that he's my business confidant. We have worked on too many projects together to name. Here's a sampling: We have co-written articles for the close-up magazine, Channel One -- every issue for the last 4+ years. We also did a year's worth of co-written articles for England's The Magic Circular. The Asher Twist was filmed at my house, in the infamous Dragon's Plate. We filmed Diving Board Double at his house. I have also helped him with the writing and editing of many of his tricks and routines, including Catch 33, Three Stylin, Thunderbird, and and and ...
Magic Projects
I did the layout for Lew Brooks' PDF, Stack Attack.I also edited David Stone, Close Up (and helped with the printing process in the U.S. version). I was one of the editors for the mentalist, Alain Nu's, trick NU-Sense. I found a printer for Aaron Fisher, so he could print The Paper Engine in soft cover. I am sure I am forgetting others ... Does it count that I was a guinnae pig for Card Control by Jerry Andrus when he first printed it?
My On-line Magic
I have several web sites that pertain to magic: CoinSnatching.com Learn-Free-Coin-Magic-Tricks.com MagicMentor.com I am also the author of several ebooks on magic and even one hard cover book, Coin Snatching: The Reputation Builder . (Available online and at local magic shops).
Magic Mentors
I have had a lot of magicians affect how I do magic. I am proud to include the following on the list -- Ray Hyman, Jerry Andrus, Jim Richardson, Ken Evans, Magical Mystical Michael, Bruce Myers "The Count," Lee Asher. That should do for a start. Help me to remember others. Keith (Kip) Pascal
