Free - Advance Screenings for "Now You See Me"
There will be three opportunities for free advanced screenings of Summit’s newest film, NOW YOU SEE ME, coming soon to Houston. It opens in Houston on May 31st but our local magic community is being offered the chance to see it well before it premieres.
NOW YOU SEE ME Starring JESSE EISENBERG, MARK RUFFALO, WOODY HARRELSON,
MÉLANIE LAURENT, ISLA FISHER, DAVE FRANCO, COMMON, JOSÉ GARCIA, WITH MICHAEL CAINE AND MORGAN FREEMAN
NOW YOU SEE ME pits an elite FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against "The Four Horsemen", a super-team of the world's greatest illusionists. "The Four Horsemen" pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performances, showering the stolen profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law.
Opens in theaters nationwide May 31, 2013.

Ben Jackson Takes Another Prize Home to Houston
Houston's own, Ben Jackson, continues to win awards and accolades around the world of magic. He has won many trophies (including best close-up by I.B.M., S.A.M., T.A.O.M. and others) and finished high in the rankings at many other conventions (like at F.I.S.M.). You might even remember me posting one of his early wins at The Magic Castle's "Strolling Olympics" in my March 17, 2008 Blog here on this I.B.M. web portal. So it was not a real surprise to see Ben reaching the final three contestants on NBC's Today Show last Monday March 25th, nearly five years later to the date.
During most of this month of March, NBC's Today Show has featured David Copperfield as a guest for "Magic Mondays". Perhaps this "tip of the top hat to Magic" was to ride the wave of publicity surrounding the release of the new movie "Burt Wonderstone". But whatever the reason, it has certainly drawn some attention to our art/craft. And as part of "Magic Mondays", they were leading up to finding "The Next Great Magician" as judged by Mr. Copperfield. With hundreds of videos that were submitted, it boiled down to Kayla Drescher of Boston, Mass., Jeff Prace of Buffalo Grove, Ill., and Ben Jackson of Houston, Texas who performed on Monday's show.
You can see their performances, David's critiques, and the outcome by Clicking Here to view the video.
I believe that the winner got tickets to see David Copperfield's show in Las Vegas plus receive a personal tour of his private museum. And although the first prize could only be awarded to one person, I feel that they all were winners by getting great publicity on a nationally televised network. Way to go, Ben!
And as if that isn't enough, Ben Jackson recently spoke at a Technology Entertainment Design (T.E.D.) conference in Houston. His 18-minute presentation gave the audience a magician's perspective on the relationship between simplicity vs. complexity. He talked about how he got started in magic, parallels between magic and music, magic's hidden artistry, and how magic isn't necessarily about "tricks". You can Click Here to watch Ben's excellent presentation on YouTube. This young man is on the rise.
