最近在網路上引起一個新熱潮;很多有資歷的魔術師都會紛紛談及它的存在。這就是
Conjuring Credits。
在最初的時候,小弟只是從德國牌術大師 Denis Behr 的個人網站裡看到的。當是,我看到的就只有一個小小的框框正在倒數著。一如已往,小弟很努力的找尋一些蛛絲馬跡;但是,一點尾目都沒有。當時正在倒數的,還在十九個小時。
網站開通以後,發現了這個網站又是一個了不起的東西。
這個網站的運作團隊十分驚人。有多驚人呢?給你們看些名字就知道了:
-
Denis Behr
-
Helder Guimaraes
-
Max Maven
-
Stephen Minch
-
Tyler Wilson
-
Steve Reynolds
還有其他大師級的人物的存在,大家自己去看看便好了。
這個網站所提給的原材料類別總分十三大類,如撲克、硬幣和心靈魔術等等。每一個領域的魔術當中所包括的手法、理論、效果、道具、表演方式等等,全都有一個簡短的解釋以及首次被出版時所出現之刊物名稱都一一有顯示出來。對於任何魔齡之魔術師,這絕對是在修練旅途上的其中必要素材之一。
以下是這個網站的一些起源歷史:
"Conjuring Credits" Website Opens. It is a free website devoted to the history and origins of magical sleights, tricks and concepts.
In the mid 1980s, Stephen Minch and Max Maven began keeping a record of their research and that of others regarding the history of conjuring. Desiring to share this information with other researchers, writers and students of magic, they envisioned a free website that would make this possible. Robert Giobbi suggested that Denis Behr might be willing to create such a website.
Denis accepted the daunting task and took it further than Minch and Maven had envisioned, by installing valuable links to the Conjuring Arts Research Center's Ask Alexander database and Denis's own Conjuring Archive, making the website an exceptionally powerful research tool, one that provides not only a summary of the history of various tricks and sleights, but also makes many source documents available for verification and studies.
As the website was being developed, other experts were invited to participate and add information. These included William Kalush, Tyler Wilson, Aurelio Paviato, Roberto Giobbi and Dan Smith. The website currently presents an impressive wealth of information, and combined with Ask Alexander, the Conjuring Archive, offers the most powerful set of research tools yet devised for magicians. The Conjuring Credits board hopes that, with the help of magicians worldwide, the website will grow to become evern more helpful in discovering and making accessible the vast, complex and fascinating history of magic.
總結:
如果要小弟我給它一個稱號的話,我敢大膽說一句這個是魔術界的 “術式辭典” 。相比起以前,這個物體絕對是不可能於這個世上出現的
--- 因為是太寶貴了。
啊,看到這裡你應該不知道這個網站是免費的吧?
