• IMPORTANT ARCHIVE OF MEL BROWN'S
  IMPORTANT ARCHIVE OF MEL BROWN'S NOTES ON MAGIC PERFORM...Brown, Mel. Important Archive of Mel Brown's notes on Magic Performances, Sessions, and Methods. Over 500 pages, both typed and handwritten, compiled by amateur magician Mel Brown. Spanning roughly the mid-1960s - late 1980s, and describing, often in minute detail, the performances of various magicians both witnessed in person by Brown and also on television; and including extensive notes taken by Brown during sessions with other magicians, as well as hundreds of pages of his own notes recording personal ideas on magic tricks as well as the handlings and ideas of other well-known professional performers. Among the magicians whose acts Brown chronicles are: Channing Pollock, Dr. Giovanni the pickpocket, Chan Canasta, Paul Gertner, Jimmy Reneaux, Del Ray, Carazini, Galli Galli, Tony Marks, and dozens more. Many of Brown's notes not only detail the routines of these performers down to the smallest of details, including stage directions, lighting, length of the acts, musical accompaniment, and audience reactions to various tricks, but also discuss the methods used for various tricks, oftentimes revealed to Brown by the performers themselves. The volume of information recorded is, at times, astonishing in its exactness. Session notes and notes on lectures include details on Dai Vernon (Santa Rosa, 1963; thirteen typewritten pages), Bev Bergeron, Al Goshman (multiple accounts), Anverdi, Kirkham, Larry Jennings, Frank Garcia, Eddie Tullock, Jack McMillen, Bill Simon, Darwin Ortiz, and dozens more. Included in the archive are several letters from various correspondents to Brown (Walt Rollins, Lou Tannen, Mike Rogers, Roland Hamblen, and more). Neatly organized, filling an entire banker's box. An astonishing record, and a truly important and unique archive. Brown, hailing from the Bay Area, was an amateur magician with a keen interest in card tricks. He corresponded with Ed Marlo for decades, and frequently contributed ideas and tricks to a variety of magic journals.
