Truth be told, I almost missed this week’s Forum Post of the Week. I was skimming this interesting thread about Daniel Madison, not really reading it. Then another user nudged me toward this post by user Medifro, saying it was well-written. Once I read it fully, there was no doubt.
The honor belongs to Medifro and his thoughts about what it means to be an “underground” magician:
“This is not to say that there are no cliques in magic. You can form one yourself. Just get together with a couple of friends and start snubbing other magicians. But that’s no way the same as an underground magic circle. Its easy to understand why most of today’s magicians can’t tell the difference because they weren’t there back when magic was really an underground.”
Medifro goes on to define an underground magic circle as a group that hoards certain moves, sleights and techniques, keeping it from public consumption for years. As he notes later in the thread, it’s not a knock against professional magicians who market themselves as “underground” (he, like many others in the thread, compliment Madison’s skills) but those who fall in love with the concept of being “underground” without fully understanding its meaning. That perception can lead us to exclude others or close our minds to certain areas of magic performance. Here’s a tip: Don’t do that.
Good work, Medifro!
“Underground” is a buzz word. Just like most other buzz words in business, it tends to be mis-applied and takes on a meaning of its own. In this case, it’s been used by many stores to sell products (ironic), and self-bestowed upon many young magicians to make them feel like they’re part of something that they’re really not.
Kind of like people who shop at Hot Topic because they are some sort of rebel against the establishment, but by doing so, they are lining the pockets of guys in business suits… thereby supporting the establishment.

The first Givenchy store opened its doors in 1952, the brainchild of owner Hubert de Givenchy.
To trace the origins of this event though however, it is necessary that we step back a few years in time. Givenchy was born in 1927 in France. At the age 10, having shown a flair for fashion from an early age, he attended the World’s Fair in Paris. Leaving the Pavilion of Elegance and filled with awe by the beauty of the gowns and models of the prominent Fashion Houses his decision to become a fashion designer was cemented.[url=http://www.givenchybagsonline.net/]GivenChy Bags[/url]
Following the Allies liberation of France towards the end of World War II, Givenchy relocated to Paris. One of his first mentors was Jacques Fath, who along with Christian Dior and Pierre Balmain was considered as one of the major influences on the postwar fashion industry.
His training continued under the expert guidance of Robert Piquet and Lucien Lelong. When in 1947, Elsa Schiaparelli appointed him to manage her boutiques on Place Vend?me, his entrance into the world of high fashion was secured.[url=http://www.givenchybagsonline.net/]GivenChy Bags[/url]
Indeed, 5 years later in 1952, Givenchy opened his own Maison de Couture at No8, rue Alfred de Vigny, on the Monceau Plain and won instant acclaim with the release of his very first collection.[url=http://www.givenchybagsonline.net/]GivenChy Bags[/url]
Meeting the famous Audrey Hepburn in 1953 was a fateful event for Givenchy. Hepburn eventually became both an ambassador for the Givenchy brand, and a life long friend.
Givenchy’s associations with masters of the industry continued. The influence of his friendship with Cristobal Balenciaga, for example, is reflected in many of the Givenchy collections.[url=http://www.givenchybagsonline.net/]GivenChy Bags Sale[/url]
In 1954, Givenchy became the first designer to present a collection of luxury women’s ready to wear clothing. Among his many contributions to the fashion world were the “Bag Dress”, the “Enveloped Dress” and the funnelled collar coat. His work was both audacious and elegant. Some of his most original designs were of printed textiles, inspired by Miro, Matisse and Christian Berard.
Givenchy continued to diversify and in 1973 released the “Gentleman Givenchy” menswear line. In 1987 Givenchy joined the French luxury group LVMH Mo?t Hennessy Louis Vuitton, along with other prestigious names like Dior, Louis Vuitton, Christian Lacroix and Céline.[url=http://www.givenchybagsonline.net/]GivenChy Handbags[/url]
