The Wall Street Journal ran a story about the New York “Cafeteria” where magicians have been meeting since 1938. The group is described as “For over 60 years, magicians have gathered every Saturday afternoon to discuss the tricks of the trade, practice routines, and hone their craft.” David Roth explained the changes over the years, “The whole tone of this place has changed dramatically, …It used to be much more intense. It used to have more serious magicians. You used to be expected to perform.” Magicians mentioned or quoted in the article are Doug Edwards, Alan Greenberg, Jerry Deutsch, Sol Stone, Steve Cohen, David Roth, Brian Marks, Jeremy Robbins, David Copperfield and David Blaine. We also find out that a documentary about the group is currently in the works.

![]() Steve Wyrick is the subject of an article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal but the angle is a bit different. It seems that the recent issue of MAGIC panned Wyrick’s show and Stan Allen is quoted “We have been critical of the industry over the years. …this is one of the harsher (reviews) we’ve done.” What struck me as funny is that the Journal, who has killed shows in the past with their reviews, compared the MAGIC review to theirs saying, “And people say this publication is tough on local entertainers.” To read the Nov. 14 article by Mike Weatherford titled “Station takeover leaves pipe organ’s fate at the Fiesta up in the air” click: HERE.(11/15) |
