Why I May Never Vote Democrat

Why I May Never Vote Democrat

My wife and I visited a slave plantation about two years ago while on vacation in New Orleans.  The visit inspired me to write a novel Black Republicans. Due to my editor’s strong suggestion, the title was changed to Exposed: Humanity Craves Power.  While happy about the October 2020 release date, a part of me remains indifferent to the name change. I think that is because, if I must admit, I am…

0074 - Deceptive Practice

Last week, faced with a bout of the writing yips, I watched DECEPTIVE PRACTICE: THE MYSTERIES AND MENTORS OF RICKY JAY, an entertaining-and-enlightening-enough documentary on magician Ricky Jay which, in spite of the film's sometimes disjointed direction, managed to rekindle my fascination and love of sleight of hand.  

Ever since my six or seventh attempt to quit smoking (my last attempt, my ninth, was successful; 06 November will mark my fourth year devoid of coffin nails), sleight of hand has held a special place in my heart. I suppose my learning to roll coins over my fingers or manipulate playing cards as a form of tactile meditation, a practice Jay himself brought up, was a direct result of needing something to do with my hands, especially since I had also given up drumming a few years earlier.

Watching a passionate master like Jay at work is a thing of beauty: the importance of the succession of single, near-invisible motions to effect the illusion of the arcane with one's hands is intoxicating; indeed, all of the arts and sports which fascinate and to which I've devoted a whole or a part of myself are based around tools which we all possess: writing (discipline, brain, pen, paper); running (feet, mental endurance); yoga (body, mental endurance and concentration); sleight of hand (discipline, hands, brain); meditation (ass, floor, breath, time)...

Whether the weekend away and the shuffling of cards and the writing of a quick short story have cured my yips, or at least begun to treat them as a chronic disease, remains to be seen. Regardless, if you've got a spare couple hours at hand and need some inspiration on craft, give DECEPTIVE PRACTICE a look.

To work.

Lending is a practice done by lenders during funding or entrance care of the process respecting loan.

Usually there will be a great deal between the practice lenders and the consumers. These practice lending wish make a borrower versus attack the trade quickly, what quite ever the bit may be. The administration are expert in alike works.<\p>

Predatory practices: <\p>

They make the borrowers toward autograph unfair deals these peruse lending is also called cause predatory practices. This trick lending is a fraudulent or also called as deceptive manner of working during the afro pertaining to loan.

Has Fox Hit A New Low By Deceptively Editing Al Sharpton’s Speech To Include “Dead Cops” Chants?

The Fox News morning show Fox & Friends edited a video clip of Rev. Al Sharpton to make it seem that demonstrators had chanted calls to kill police officers during his speech on Saturday, even though the two pieces of video were from two different cities.

Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay

#139 Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay

I love magic. i find it fascinating, not only how it is done but the compelling history of it. This wonderful documentary on the magician Ricky Jay, is not just a simple biopic. Instead, in telling his life story, Jay takes the audience on a journey through the brief histories of his mentors, magicians that were rarely caught on camera because they came before the time. Jay is not only a magician, but an avid historian and raconteur. He is a great storyteller and because he is an expert, he is also able to demonstrate what was not film. All in all it is a very entertaining documentary that took me by surprise because I knew nothing about the film.

Deceptive Practice - The mysteries and mentors of Ricky Jay

Per chi non ne fosse a conoscenza, Ricky Jay è uno degli showman più carismatici e preparati che esistano sulla piazza.

La sua capacità attoriale è seconda solo alla sua preparazione tecnica, senza considerare l'approfondita conoscenza storica nel campo dell'illusionismo. Insomma, un monumento vivente che ancora oggi sul palcoscenico riesce a rendere gustosamente interessanti le rivisitazioni di stunt e prestigi prossimi a soffiare seicento candeline. Il suo film documentario Deceptive Practice è un gioiello di inestimabile valore apprezzabile altresì da un pubblico profano all'arte, che racchiude nei suoi 88 minuti le fonti di ispirazione e lo spirito di sacrificio di un uomo che ha deciso di fare dell'arte magica il più grande amore della sua vita. Durante la visione del documentario sono stato pervaso da un turbinìo di emozioni. Vediamo questi uomini sul palcoscenico e sovente non diamo conto di quante ore abbiano passato con la schiena piegata per rendere semplice e godibile qualcosa di estremamente complesso. Uomini che arrivano da un'epoca in cui esisteva solo la radio, dove la carta stampata era quel martello che forgiava esseri pensanti e potenti.

Come tutti i più meravigliosi giochi di prestigio, anche questo film cela dei segreti... delle chiavi di lettura nascoste, da cui ognuno di noi dovrebbe prendere esempio. Da qui ho avanzato delle riflessioni personali, che condivido con voi lettori:

In ogni spettacolo il testo è sempre lo stesso, pagine e pagine di copione scandite a ritmi svizzeri, sempre freschi di nuova energia... ed ogni routine eseguita con una naturalezza ed un'eleganza da nobel. I prestigiatori odierni si dimenticano dell'importanza drammaturgica e della sicurezza che un testo curato è in grado di infondere. Poi ci chiediamo perché mostri sacri come Robert Houdin ammonivano: "un prestigiatore è un attore che interpreta la parte del prestigiatore."

Esegue gli stessi effetti da 40 anni, e potremmo guardare all'infinito le sue mani eseguire i classici di Max Malini, Dai Vernon o Slydini, senza mai risultarne stanchi. Il mondo attorno ci obbliga a percepire come desueta un'idea che ci è venuta in mente solo pochi istanti fa. Jay è considerato come uno fra i più abili rivisitatori dei classici della magia, rendendoli immancabilmente portatori di nuova meraviglia. Leggo proprio in questi giorni un interessante articolo scritto dall'amico Mariano Tomatis, che in merito alla nuova edizione dell'antologia Divinazioni Mentali di don Salvatore Cimò (di cui ne cura l'introduzione), scrive:

"[...] studiando i suoi effetti si entra a far parte di un club straordinariamente esclusivo, visto che oggi quasi tutti l’hanno dimenticato. Se sottovalutate il valore di queste pagine, lo fate a vostro rischio."

Ai giorni nostri dovremmo attingere esclusivamente dalla nobiltà che il duro lavoro comporta. Tornare alla riscoperta di un mondo "povero" gioverebbe sicuramente alla mente del Prestigiatore Moderno e non solo. La pazienza, la pervicacia e l'incessante fame di sapere sono valori che oggi paiono sostituibili da effimere gratificazioni, con i danni che ciò ne comporta. Uomini come Jay meritano di essere stimati e riveriti per la costante ricerca e l'infinita passione che quotidianamente menifestano per la loro arte. Inutile consigliarne la visione, chi è stato toccato dalle parole qui esposte, correrà con eccitazione a visionare il documentario, per ritrovarsi piacevolmente scavato dentro. Anche se, per ingolosirvi... ecco quella che Jay chiama "la lezione di storia"
