What else have I been doing in North Carolina, you might ask?The huge highlight has been to attend Paul Lembo’s Magic Prop Building and Restoration Master Class.For those of you who do not know Paul, do know that he grew up in Coney Island, NY, and in his youth learned magic from Al Flosso, and continued his love for magic throughout his entire life. As an adult, he worked as the coordinator between the engineering and manufacturing team that built the lunar module for the Apollo Mission that landed on the moon. Later on, he owned a contracting company building residential and commercial spaces. After his retirement from the above in his sixties, he now dedicates his time to build and repair unique magic apparatus. His clients include all the major magic collectors in our field, like the late Dr. Robert Albo and David Copperfield.I attended this class with Ray Zwedinger, David Tanner and Todd Harris.Paul started the class by encouraging us to ask questions and request projects to make. My specialty is woodworking, but my weakest skill is that of machining and working with metal. So I took the opportunity to ask all about it.We dealt with topics such as cutting, drilling and forming metal in magic applications, soldering, milling, machining and polishing. We talked about cutting and turning wood. We learned about his methods for finishing wood along with his decal application techniques.Todd, Ray and Dave brought several magic effects that needed repairs and Paul tackled each one with efficiency and expertise. I requested that he machined from beginning to end a stack of coins for the Ramsay “Cylinder and Coins” trick, which he completed in two and a half hours.Overall, it was a treat to be with such talented people.Building magic is all about problem solving. It was awesome to hang out with Paul and see his process of solving the various challenges and get a glimpse at how his mind works. At 86 years young, his mind is sharper than ever and his attention to detail is an inspiration.If you are interested in getting a glimpse at what it takes to build magic, I highly recommend that you spend some time with him. I learned many new things this weekend and he has inspired me to become a better maker, craftsman, and human being.He will be teaching throughout this year.
