Ms. Ibanez is seemingly tireless in her work as president of the world's oldest magic organization.

If you are a member of SAM, you will be able to register and get in on the real-time discussions with your colleagues.

If you have not yet joined the Society, perhaps this will spur you into action. The Society is rich with history (it traces its roots back to Harry Houdini, the First President); and its on-line offerings are relevant and useful for the working magician.

Ms. Ibanez' letter follows...

"The Mean Girls star was seen holding hands with the 39-year-old magician at Las Vegas nightclub Pure on Saturday before the pair left together at 5am." According to some -- not us -- the couple went back to Miss Lohan's hotel suite.

Need we remind any reader that Las Vegas is a tough town?

Mr. Angel, always the gentleman, probably just wanted to make sure the young actress made it home safely at 5:00 am.

Mr. Farrar is a mere 16 -- the contest permits magicians up to 18 years-old -- but demonstrated the poise and skills necessary to win. The Magic Circle holds the competition every two years.

Mr. Farrar goes by the stage name of Ben Hart and is a student about to enter his "A-Levels at Peter Symonds College in September studying biology, chemistry, psychology and drama and theatre studies."

We have no idea what A-Levels are but we loved The A-Team so we figure it has to be a good thing.

Mr. Farrar a/k/a Mr. Hart, said he was surprised to win. "It was a shock. It is a very prestigious title. I have always found magic interesting. I like the interaction with people, in a nice way trying to fool them, yet giving them enjoyment."

Paul Farley, the managing director of Tag Games, said, "The Houdini license is not only a great fit in terms of the titles theme and game-play but also comes at an opportune time with Houdini's controversial demise is back in the news."

Houdini: Escape From Dead Water is scheduled for release in Q3 2007. The title will be available from all major North American carriers.

Lee Asher's Thunderbird is an incredible production of four aces (each a different suit) from bare hands and can be performed shirtless.

We have sung Mr. Asher's praises in the past. He consistently offers new magic within the skill-set of most magicians -- assuming they are willing to practice.
