Such fucking nonsense. BTW I never said congrats on recognizing your place in the community, it's wonderful to have you *chucks rainbow streamers*

Thanks so much, I’m so happy to be finally aware & mostly accepting of my feelings (bc I’m still struggling with some internalized, intersecting homophobia and allosexism). It’s amazingly freeing but also quite terrifying!!!! I haven’t even come out to my family yet :/

Paradoxes - Paul A. Lelekis - A Review

This is the Ad Copy:

Three beautiful routines, complete with 5 videos, an intro discussing paradoxes, as well as numerous examples, and plenty of paradoxical pictures and phrasings for your enjoyment.

When we, as magicians perform, we do things that are unlikely, improbable, or perhaps even artistic. When we perform paradoxes, we create events that are not just unlikely to occur ... but are, instead, absolutely impossible!

These routines are seriously strong closers (or can be used as powerful openers) and will fool even the most knowledgeable of magicians ... if they are not already familiar with them. Paul A. Lelekis presents three, full scale routines that absolutely defy all logic ... in other words ... they just cannot happen. These routines have full, fanciful patter and Paul guides you through every step of the way with short videos of Paul performing the easy-to-do sleights needed with psychological tips and all of the misdirection required. These are very, very clever effects.

Understand that not only are the sleights explained, but even more importantly, the psychological subtleties used for a confident performance - and this is very important.

REVENGE OF THE KNERDS -  A paradox with a borrowed deck if you wish. The spectator picks out any four cards, completely her choice, and then her signed card is placed amongst the four unknown cards. The performer makes that card turn invisible, and then the spectator lays that invisible card onto the deck ... with a magic pass, the magician makes that signed card turn visible, right before her eyes. Then the five card packet is counted and found to contain only four cards ... the four mischievous Jacks.

A "DILL"-Y OF A PARADOX - A plot by Paul and a very brilliant, unknown sleight by Dean Dill that makes a card, protected by the spectator, impossibly change into a signed selection. This is not Bro. John Hamman's effect. The beauty of this paradox is its simplicity - and its impossibility.

JEWEL OF THE WILE - A fanciful journey to a medieval time of Kings, Queens, Knerdy Knights, dungeons, dragons, and - witches. A beautiful story about a King's very valuable Ace of Diamonds and what he does to protect it - with an absolutely impossible ending ... and be forewarned ... this time the Wicked Witch wins!

My Thoughts:

PARADOXES, by Paul A. Lelekis, is another great example of what a great magician with magical writing abilities can accomplish. PARADOXES features three effects with varying levels of skill. Although none are true knuckle-busters, they are something the intermediate card guy will appreciate. The advanced beginner can watch the included videos and perform these effects after a little practice. Unlike the typical pick-a-card effects, Paul uses his included videos to teach you how to confound your spectator by making them see something they don't actually see... they only think they see you perform moves you don't actually do. Cards are there.. and then they aren't. Cards are in a packet.. and then they are back in the deck. Cards are in the deck.. and then they're face down on the table. Not your typical stuff. Paradoxes is something a little different from Paul. And if you're ready for something different.. Paradoxes is IT...

Revenge of the Knerds.. This is the crown jewel of the bunch. Paul provides several videos to assist with the handling, which is not difficult, but not true beginner level either. If you are advanced beginner level.. you shouldn't have any trouble. I like that this is not your typical 'pick a card' magic, and you are sort of 'on display'. You are displaying your magic chops with cards, and yes, the audience does participate, but there is minimal intervention from your audience. The magic just seems to 'happen' as a spectator is asked to select four cards, one at a time. The moves are utilitarian.. and you'll definitely use them in other effects as well. Vernon's Strip-Out Switch is a keeper..

A 'Dill'-y of a Paradox This is another slightly advanced handling of an effect where the magician gets to show off a little.. but the audience doesn't get to see it.. In their minds, something very magical happens.. but they are clueless as to how it happened. Much is thanks to Dean Dills Turnover Switch (video provided) and a ploy from Michael Skinner. Basically, a card is removed from the deck and set to one side. Another card is selected and signed, then returned to the apparent middle of the deck. After some polite patter and an apology.. you do your newly learned magic, the card on the table and the signed card change places, and the audience is left scratching their collective heads. Great table top magic and perfect for walk around.. when you have a dry table!!

Jewel of the Wile With Halloween coming.. this is a great trick to learn. It uses a script.. and all you need to do is learn the script. Initially, there is a set-up: You need the Ace of Diamonds and the Queen of Spades on top of the deck.. and the four Jacks on bottom of the deck. That's it.. Other than one quick bottom deal from a three card packet, everything is self working.. and the Wicked Queen wins in the end. Hey, I said this was great for Halloween !!

If you want something entertaining and satisfying for your audience, PARADOXES will fit the bill. Your audience will NOT know how you perform these effects. They cannot track them on Youtube or find them in print.. other than right here. Be unique. Be professional. Be a Lelekis fan...

Do Osteopathic medicine education in Canada

Nowadays, getting an osteopathic medical education in Canada has become very popular among students who want to have an alternate to the traditional MD Pathway. This education is not available in Canadian Universities but needs to be pursed in USA.

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) need to use a unique approach to providing care to the patients. So, the majority of US schools train Osteopathic physicians to acquire different required skills. Such as:

•    How to help the human body to heal itself?

•    Get knowledge on how to make patients prevent injury and illness by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

•    How to perform a patient’s complete body examination to reach a diagnostic strategy without just considering the symptoms?

•    Believe in the fact that all body parts work together and also influence the working of one another. Dos are specifically trained in the musculoskeletal system and nervous system.

•    Train in a hands-on-approach named osteopathic manipulative treatment for preventing, diagnosing and treating different injuries and illnesses.

What are the basic requirements for enrollment in US Osteopathic schools for Canadians?

There are 34 osteopathic medical schools in USA. Of these there are 16 Schools that can be considered as “Canadian Friendly” and each has its own unique admission requirements. With so many options, the admission process has also become highly competitive.

But the general process is:

•    All applicants must hold a Bachelor or Masters degree that includes the prerequisite courses required for the entrance examination like MCAT.

•    After completing a four years degree in osteopathic medical school and being eligible to practice medicine, the osteopathic physician also has to go through residencies, fellowships, and internships. In addition to this, they need to complete specialty certification examinations and medical licensure examinations compulsory for registration with the provincial college of physician college of physicians and surgeons. Different training can be about 2 to 5 years and full-time.
