	Stephen Buxton Following expensive psychotherapy (running into hundreds of cents), Stephen has recovered and now only gibbers slightly when he sees a pigeon.  His employers decided to give Stephen the opportunity of turning professional in magic as he certainly wasn't being professional in anything else.  Stephen now spends his time perfecting the Elmstone's Double Handed Finger Cull Count, as his ambition is to one day win a competition.  "This will happen," he explains, "even if it means organising a competition that can only be entered by people calling themselves Stephen Buxton."  You can send messages, moral support, or preferably your credit card details to Stephen at: stephen@mkeynes80.freeserve.co.uk.

I am a member of the Northamptonshire Magicians' Club and the International Brotherhood of Magicians, as well as being an Associate Of The Inner Magic Circle. My performing interests are mainly close-up card magic, mentalism and mnemonics, although I enjoy watching most types of magic and other "allied arts" such as juggling, ventriloquism, etc. However, my "speciality" is Magic Squares, to the extent that I wrote a book on the subject to gain entrance to and subsequent promotion within The Magic Circle.

Quote: "Practice your pass."

	Brandon Kirkland *A Gentleman of Magic* I've been studying magic for 10 years now and concentrate in close-up and parlor magic. You might also know me for my performance as the "stooge" at the 1998 A-1 convention during Phill Cass's performance on his hot chair. I like to emulate the style of the the 20's and 30's where magicians always wore a suit, or at least a dress jacket, and everyone was more polite and respectful than today. My style might be old fashion, but my ideas and gadgets are of new. My other hobbies are online gaming and raising carnivorous plants. My two favorite magicians are Jim Pace and Greg Wilson (the other Greg Wilson). Email:Dazeal@hotmail.com
	Bob Klase Bob Klase started doing magic when he was 8. He's slightly older now. As his skills developed people began to say "Hey, could you do that again..... someplace else!". He had a career that allowed him to really float in the air with no strings, wires, mirrors or silly magician's tricks- he spent 25 years as an army helicopter pilot. That engagement ended in 1995 and he's now starting a career performing close-up and stand-up for bigger people. He finally has a color scanner.
	Frederick Klein A man far behind the times, Frederick Klein landed in New England in the early 1980’s. Being thoroughly impressed with his findings, he decided to stay - a fortuitous choice since his tramp steamer departed under cover of darkness the following night! Frederick (friends call him Fred) has appeared in a variety of theatrical projects - musicals, comedies, and dramas. About twenty years ago, he began combining magic and theater. He has performed at banquets, receptions, private parties, children’s shows, and retirement communities - spanning the Eastern mainland from Boston to the greater Gulf Coast. When not sharing the wonders of the arcane arts, he composes and arranges music that occasionally finds its way into a show. When asked recently where he comes up with his off-the-wall magic style, he answered: "I really don’t know. My mother claims I was born this way. She’s hoping one day medical science will find a cure…" Until then, you can be sure he’s either lurking on the EG or waiting for performance inquiries at: fjkpublic@yahoo.com

For the past eight years he has lectured to magic groups and conventions in Canada and the U.S., with a new lecture each year. His current lecture is titled Bizarre Magic, which is about -- well, YOU figure it out! He also created the amazing Set Your Hand On Fire trick, seen here. Unfortunately, most performers can only do it twice.
	Pete McCabe Pete had a career as a professional bowler until he grew an enormous red pimple on his nose, and began worshiping a floating, blueberry filled, yellow donut he calls "Ralph". Go figure. Oh, and he wrote for some sitcom on ABC.
	"That Little Disturbo" -- Flash Mildew A living legend amongst magicians worldwide, Flash continues to tour, lecture, and avoid extradition. In this photo we see Mr. Mildew lecturing in Sweden. He is attempting to give the "one finger salute" to his host, and failing. No other magi can (or would want to) duplicate the magical experience that is pure Mildew! Visit the Mildew Archive!
	Larry Moss Larry Moss first started exposing himself to the public by turning tricks on New York City street corners in 1985. He has done his part to inflate the popularity of balloon twisting by running workshops, writing a book, and maintaining Balloon HQ, a comprehensive guide to balloon art.
	"Mullet" A rare photo of Mullet performing "guerrilla magic". Here he has crashed the World Magic Summit disguised as an Air Force officer, and has just completed producing an entire chicken dinner from Marc Desouza's navel. Though Mullet rarely performs for magicians, notice the stunning artistry with which produces the meal without even unbuttoning Desouza's shirt (thank god!) Draped over Mullet's left arm is the foulard ready for the famous "Zombie Nuclear Weapon O' Death" Mullet's next project: "Streep Magic" currently being shot with a grainy black and white 8mm camera on the set of Meryl Streep's latest film.

	Larry Thornton It seems I must have made a "wrong turn" down one library aisle at the tender age of about nine or ten, and that's when I discovered magic books. I haven't been a normal person since! At about the age of 15, I joined a correspondence club for teenagers, called The American Magic Club. From there, I joined the International Brotherhood of Magicians where I have earned the prestigious "Order of Merlin". In the mid 1970's I started performing magic shows for children and family audiences in and around Calgary. My brand new website can be found at www.wizardlarry.com

	Anton van Helden Inspired as I was by a performance by the Legendary Flash Mildew I decided to spend less time cutting up decomposing whale carcasses and more time cutting cards. Close up magic with cards is my passion....but I am perhaps more famous for a performance of chosen card in blue whale....the revelation of the age!!! Don't try this at home....for one thing you would need a very big home...but if you do....at least take up the carpet first! Cheers Anton antonvh@tepapa.govt.nz or... whaleman@hotmail.com
