808: Daniel Garcia - Ideas Unlimited

Daniel Garcia is a highly respected magic creator and consultant. But he is an awesome performer in his own right, too! Daniel helps create magic for David Blaine, Dynamo, Cyril Takayama, and Dynamo, (just to name a few) for their performances on stage and screen and online, too.

Daniel talks this week about some of the celebrated magicians with whom he has worked, as well as how he comes up with his creative ideas. He has a system for developing these ideas that he shares in this episode. He also surrounds himself with other creative types like Blake Vogt, Alex Rangel, Brent Braun, and others who are titans of trickery in their own right.

In 2023 we suffered the loss of many friends who have passed away, but whom are not forgotten. Perhaps as we grow older, we are more aware of those who pass. But this last year saw the passing of almost twice as many as were listed in the magic obituaries of 2022.

Although the list below is not exhaustive, it does reflect the names of many well-known (and some lesser known) magicians, spouses, assistants and magic aficionados who passed on in 2023. Some may not be as well-known to you, but they were my personal friends (hey, it is my blog!). If you are unfamiliar with any of these names, then it would behoove you to do a little online search of what these people have contributed to our craft. If you have someone you think was overlooked, then please post the name in the comments below on this blog.

Those whose names are highlighted with a “hot link” were featured or interviewed here on The Magic Word Podcast. It was not my original intent when I began this journey to chronicle the voices before they left us, but I am so thankful that I did sit down with many of these friends for lively, and sometimes intimate, conversations. You can click on their name to revisit and listen to their voices again.

This was a movie that I hadn't really heard a lot about, but when I saw it playing at the theater by me, I wanted to support it there. I think there is an interesting, emotionally charged story here with some solid acting from Rupert Friend and Brian Cox. It was a bit slow and the payoff wasn't necessarily there for me, but still a solid movie. Anyone else seen this, what did you think?

Original Superhero/Science-Adventurer Concept: Brents and Braun

So, last night, after watching a video about the Five Man Band trope I had a brainstorm, and in the past day, what was originally a vague idea for a superhero duo based on a pun has transformed into Challs/FF/Jonny Quest-type idea about a science-adventurer team/quasi-family. So, here goes...

-Dr. Bebe Braun is 6′8″ tall, of mixed African, Scandinavian, Russian, German, and Samoan ancestry and has a physical build such that the word “fat“ is inadequate; she prefers to refer to herself as “vast”. She’s also a genius polymath with multiple doctorates, which she has exploited both to benefit mankind and amass a vast fortune. She combines intense scientific curiosity and adventurousness with tremendous willpower, while also being intensely neophilic and an unabashed sensualist, a combination of personality traits that result in her always being up to trying new things. She has, through intense meditation and focusing of her prodigious will and intellect, over decades, managed to achieve tremendous mental control over her body, ensuring that despite her weight and lifestyle, she is in excellent health, and in fact appears considerably younger than she actually is. Said meditation has also resulted in her obtaining superhuman reflexes and Shadow-style mesmeric abilities, which combined with her titanic size means that she is quite capable of handling herself. Nonetheless, she employs a bodyguard...

-Mrs. Bambi Brent is a former Israeli special forces soldier and master martial artist, and Dr. Braun’s bodyguard. Possesses an Amazonian physique, and is tall for a woman (which means she’s still dwarfed by her gargantuan boss). She is also a powerful spirit medium, in regular contact with an array of ghosts and other supernatural entities, with whom she routinely consults, most notably Vlad II Dracul (AKA Dracula’s father) and his archrival John Hunyadi. A no-nonsense sort with a penchant for sarcasm, who is not shy about proclaiming herself the only sane person around. Really wishes her boss would stop putting all their lives in danger on a whim.

-Mr. Bobby Brent, Mrs. Brent’s husband and Dr. Braun’s lab assistant/housekeeper/cook. A nondescript, bespectacled man of average height and build, notable for his genius-level intellect (though dwarfed by that of his insanely brilliant boss) and superhuman strength and invulnerability owing to means I have yet to determine. A cheerful, easygoing sort, prone to joking. Unlike his wife, finds no fault with Dr. Braun’s eccentricities, and is always eager to assist her latest adventure, regardless if the goal is exploring or carousing. (note that despite the latter, is scrupulously faithful to his wife whom he worships, a feeling which is mutual; they are almost sickeningly in love)

-Ms. Barbie Brent is...complicated. She is a genetically engineered, gender-reversed clone of Mr. Brent’s nephew from a a post-apocalyptic alternate future (note that neither the person she was cloned from nor his parent existed in this reality). She resembles her namesake in appearance (albeit with a darker skin tone and epicanthic folds) and has an almost comparable array of skills. Has something of a “barbarian warrior” aesthetic going on, and has the fighting skills to back it up, but is a formidable sorceress. In her native reality, she was created to be the ideal leader of an enclave seeking to rebuild civilization in the wake of the apocalyptic catastrophe that ended the world as we know it, and did the job so well that she ultimately chose to go into exile when she realized they were becoming too dependent on her; she took being scooped out of her native reality by one of Dr. Braun’s inventions in stride. As a natural leader, she routinely takes command of Dr. Braun’s expeditions. She’s wound kinda tight, and has certain degree of fish-out-of-water naivete, but she’s making a concerted effort to loosen up.

-Beta II is a super-computer created to A: serve as Dr. Braun’s secretary and B: predict the future, both of which it is very good at. Tends to utilize an assortment of drone bodies to accompany the family on adventures. Was programmed to possess a strong moral code and sense of ethics, and has evolved a warm, compassionate, and empathetic personality to go along with it.
