Marvelle, the magician, gage two performances and there were 'about 40 at the second showing. Marvelle who is a member of the Magic Circle, which has only about 200 members over the world didn't have it easy Thurs- day night. Children werezrammed around the platform in spite of the efforts of the, master of ceremonies, Gord Rimmer to have them take their places on wooden beches. Seaforth kids were decidedly sceptical and Marvelle later said any magicain knows kids are the worst' audience. Nevertheless, he played on their scepticism and in their eagerness to point t the hoax in his tricks, he succee d in calling their bluff. • He did this in the colot4red rabbit trick...Where he said would make the white rabbit and the black rabbit switch sides, on the table. Quite naturally the kids noticed he turned the .rabbits around before removing the coverings which showed the rabbits had indeed moved. By this time, the kids were almost rowdy in their attempts to expose him as a fraud. This reporter began to feel sorry for the magician and was decidedly on his side. The kids were shouting, "You turned the rabbits around. Let us lee the other side." Marvelle, in turn, denied pro- fusely that he had done any such thing as he repeated the trick. The kids were getting quite be lieerent and Marvelle earned his name, by saying they were absolutely right, turned the card- board rabbits to reveal a red and a yellow rabbit on the other side of the black and white rabbit. Its hard to say whether the majority of the kids know they were conned, but one little boy scratched his head and looked confused. The show ended when he asked a little girl who was assisting him with a card trick, if she knew how he did the trick. She said yes, at which time, he thanked her and escorted her off stage. Did the girl know or not, the audience was left to wonder? Marvelle quickly packed his suitcase full of his tricks, hanker- chiefs and rabbits. Watching him, it was easy to let one's imagina- tion run wild. How difficult it must be, to be a magicain today, moving from town to town, living out of a suitcase. Marvelle said he has being doing magic since be was 14 years old, but he is also Reverend Cannon bbs, of St. Albans' Anglican Church, London. For more than 21 years, he has combined the occupation of rector with his interest in the theatrical world. For ten years, he worked full-time as a magician. He said when he became a priest, his first parishioners were theatrical people in London, England. From this association, as well as from doing his magic across Europe, he knows personally many famous celebraties like Tom Jones, he said. Reverend Dibbs, as he is know by his parishioriers , has a wife and two kids, one attending university and a twelve-year old. When 'he immigrated to Can- ada, nine years ago, the headlines read, Marvelle, the Magician comes to Canada, but no mention was made of him being a priest. Res. Dibbs said he does about six charity shows a year, and this year will do the Jerry Lewis, Muscular Dystrophy show, plus three television appearances, to keep his hand in. He said he isn't afraid so much of forgetting the tricks but of losing the stage presence. Things can go wrong on stage and the real test is extracting yourself from the situation with skill, he said. Rev. Dibbs, said there is "no glamor", in being a magician but people feel there is. His parishioners accept arvell, and at a time, when, other churches find many pews empty, he says he preaches tco,a packed house. Besides his parish duties, he tours with a 55 member church choir group, which keeps him very mush a part of the enter- tainment world, he . said.
