Claudia Schiffer beats the French magazine Paris Match in
court for their allegations that her engagement to David Copperfield was arranged to get
publicity. A French court determined the "contract" was fake and awarded Schiffer damages. It seems that Schiffer uses two signatures one for contracts and one for
autographs. The signature on the "engagement contract" had a signature from her
pin-up calendar. Copperfield has a separate $20 million suit against the magazine. To read

Psychic Ghost Theatre, which has been running in Wheaton,
MD for almost a year, gets a terrific write-up in the Jan. 28 issue of The Journal
Newspaper. The article by Sara Wildberger describes the Psychic Ghost Theatre as
"...an intimate evening of chamber magic in a painstakingly created performance
space... But the emphasis is on the ‘good’ in good fright, as there's at least
as much laughter and applause as gasps and screams." In addition to a review of Susan
Kang and Barry Taylor’s show the article also talks about women in magic.(2/9)

Rocco "Mr. D’Lite" is not dead.
This past
Saturday morning I received a phone call asking me if I heard the rumor that Rocco is
dead. I don’t like to deal in rumors but MagicTimes has received many e-mails and
phone calls since then wanting to know if it is true. Spoke to Rocco the other day and he
flatly denied that he was dead – and I don’t think he was lying. He also told me
that he will probably be on the next World’s Greatest Magic.(2/11)

Professor Padmarajan performed the legendary Indian Rope
Trick at the Durbar Hall grounds in Cochin, Southern India last Wednesday. One of the
oldest and rarest magic effects it was performed outdoors before a crowd of 1,000 at a
conference on Indian magic. Anthony Owen called it, "...one of the world's great
tricks, conjuring up images of Jack and the Beanstalk and strange connections between
Heaven and Earth." After the performance Padmarajan was quoted as saying, "I am
still experimenting with the trick, ...I am working on making the child disappear and
cutting up his limbs." An article by Jon Stock and Sarath Nair about this can be read
in the Sydney Morning Herald by clicking: HERE.(2/14)
