By Linda Sandsmark
San Leandro Times
Local magician Richard Stewman has opened a new magic shop in Washington Manor, where he performs live demonstrations and sells magic tricks for people of all skill levels.
JJ’s Magic Shop is named after local realtor Joe J. Litvinchuk, who owns the store and is also a part-time magician.
Years ago, Litvinchuk inspired a young Stewman to try the ways of magic, and taught him many of his early tricks. Now Stewman performs regularly in a magic and comedy act, which entertains audiences both young and old.
“I’m a professional magician, one-half of the Flying Calamari Brothers,” says Stewman. “When I’m not performing, I hold down the fort here to demonstrate magic. When I can’t be here, Joe still comes in to do the demos.”
The store carries everything from close-up tricks to full-stage illusions.
“Here in the store you can see magic in person. If you have trouble learning a trick we’re here to help,” says Stewman.
Such expertise is not available on the internet, and JJ’s is one of the only magic shops in the East Bay. It is located within M & M Sports Cards in the Manor Square Shopping Center. The beautifully-designed space has a traditional velvet magician’s demonstration table and hundreds of tricks to choose from.
One big advantage is being able to see, touch and feel the magic up close. The quality of the merchandise is also higher. Whether it’s coin, card, or slight-of-hand illusions, JJ’s has an excellent selection.
“We have put together magic sets for holiday gifts,” says Stewman. “These are what we consider to be the best tricks, grouped in an age-appropriate way. If you buy sets online or in a big toy store, you may not even use 99 percent of it. We hand-select each item to make sure it’s a good, usable trick for a child or adult, and we can help you learn it.”
Get Your Rattlesnake Eggs
JJ’s Magic Shop carries a full line of novelty and joke items as well, such as imitation lottery scratch-off cards with $500,000 payoffs. Stewman also jokes that he carries the largest supply of rattlesnake eggs in the Bay Area. On a more serious note, the shop has books, DVDs and videos to teach all types of magic. Customers can leave the store with a complete set of ‘building blocks’ to do magic on their own.
“We try to steer people to doable tricks,” he says.
Stewman and the other ‘Calamari Brother,’ Mark Cassettari, have been performing for 16 years on stages all over Northern California. They headline once a month at the California Magic Dinner Theater in Martinez, as well as doing family shows at many local libraries.
JJ’s Magic Shop is located at 935 Manor Blvd., San Leandro (near the U.S. Post Office). Call 895-8029 for more information or e-mail Stewman at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Arwa Aburawa, The Electronic Intifada
The much-awaited listing of Coal India takes place on Thursday, a day before Diwali. The market is expecting Coal India to witness a thumping debut on the bourses, which is evident by the optimism shown by a few ace experts. Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Abhineet Anand of Antique Stock Broking and Prasad Baji of Edelweiss Securities said they see CIL listing above the Rs 300 level. While Anand sees a sustainable fair value of Coal India closer to Rs 310 per share, Prasad pegs it at Rs 316/ share.
Anand said Coal India is a long-term story and the fair value will be upgraded periodically. “Whenever there is a pricing upgrade, we will upgrade the fair value.” He believes going forward there will be strong triggers as the demand-supply situation will not narrow down in FY12-13. “Over the next 4-6 quarters, Coal India might buy some coal mines abroad to meet the shortage as the company is sitting on a lot of cash, he said.” He recommends holding on to the stock.
Echoing the bullish sentiment, Prasad said any selling that comes post strong listing, will be absorbed by the HNIs. There could be a lot of buying at Rs 280 levels, although in the short-term there is not much to gain, he observed.
Below is a verbatim transcript of their exclusive interview with CNBC-TV18s managing editor Udayan Mukherjee. Also watch the accompanying videos for more.
Q: Time for deciding whether the issue was good or not is gone What is sustainable fair value for Coal India in your eyes after it lists?
Anand: Primarily, the fair value that we have come out is closer to Rs 310 but it depends on what your vesting period is in this whole company. We believe that because it is a long term story, the fair value will keep on upgrading as and when volumes for the company or the pricing for the company comes in.
The pricing of the company depends upon both, the government of India and Coal India. So whenever there is a price increase by the company that could be an upgrading from our levels of Rs 310-320. I see it going forward. In FY12 it might go to higher prices.
Q: What is your sense of fair value for Coal India post listing?
Baji: We have a similar number of Rs 316 based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation. In that valuation we have not captured upsides from beneficiation which the management has been talking about. We are waiting to see visibility on that. In the longer term, the kickers would be the realization uptake and the beneficiation volume increasing as a proportion of total volumes that could take the valuation above the Rs 316 number.
Q: How do the technicals look for Coal India once we list tomorrow? The institution got about 5% of what they applied for and you talked to a lot of institutions or clients at Edelweiss as well. Do you think there will be a lot of pent up buying post listing that will soak up any HNI supply that might come in?
Baji: There is very strong interest in the company and I am pretty sure that retail HNI selling will be easily absorbed by the institutions. Until then, Rs 275-280 is a very clear buy Rs 280 to Rs 300 is sort of an indifferent zone where there could be some buying at that range.
Q: If the stock does list somewhere in the zone of Rs 280-300 which would still be handsome profits for retail and closer to Rs 300 some profit for the HNIs, would you advocate a flip out, book profits or do you think you can still hold on and hope for some upsides over a one-year period?
Anand: If you talk about institutions, we would not advice a on a flip over because going forward there could be triggers in the stock. It makes sense to have the stock because the coal demand-supply in the country is going to be very skewed.
The gap may not narrow in FY12-13, as the importance of domestic coal will keep on increasing because international assets are not that easy to go and buy. I would not recommend a flip at Rs 280 to Rs 290 levels. It is a stock to hold on for a longer-term especially for the investors.
Q: The upside that you were talking about in terms of beneficiation when do they kick in? How long would investors need to hold on, to see some kind of upside surprises which is not modeled into earnings expectations or projections today?
Baji: That wont be any time soon. At least two years away. It would start in FY13 and keep ramping up to FY17. For the short-term there isnt anything to see.
Q: In that sense, would Rs 300 be sort of getting out at fair value at the current point pending the good news or any kind of positive surprises or do you think there are other upsides which might kick in over the next four to six quarters which could surprise investors?
Anand: One thing that might surprise investors is that Coal India has a huge amount of cash on its books close to Rs 40,000 crore. Because of the demand-supply gap, I think they would go ahead and buy some coal mines abroad. That is just to suffice the demand of power in the country so that they might blend a part of it. Any acquisitions abroad would be a key trigger as well which has actually not been factored in any of the models that we have right now.
Source: We’ve got cookbooks coming out of our ears, writes Simon Thomsen. But there’s always room for one more…
AUSTRALIA grew up cooking Margaret Fulton recipes. Since its first release in 1968, 1.5 million copies of The Margaret Fulton Cookbook have found a home on our bookshelves. The octogenarian’s status as a kitchen confidante is unquestioned. And yet, in just four years, two Queensland women have matched her feat with recipe books using just four ingredients.
Kim McCosker and Rachael Bermingham are cooking’s J.K. Rowlings. The duo self-published 4 Ingredients after being turned down by major publishers. Their revenge has been profitably sweet. 4 Ingredients was the best-selling Australian-published book of 2007 (second only to Harry Potter overall), notching up around 400,000 copies. To put that in perspective, Stephanie Alexander’s 1996 culinary bible, The Cook’s Companion, sold 500,000 copies in 14 years. Three more 4 Ingredient books followed, notching up combined sales in excess of 100,000 in 2010.

We’re buying recipes in record numbers and everyone’s keen for a slice, because a hit cookbook makes big bucks. And in Australia, at least, the industry is recession-proof. One estimate places the annual total sales of 4.5 million books at an average of just under $20 a book (discounting is commonplace). Market researcher IBISWorld conservatively predicts 13 per cent growth in cookbook revenue this financial year after two years of annual growth above 35 per cent.
So if you think your local bookstore is an overloaded smorgasbord of cooking titles, you’re right. Too many, says David Gaunt, co-owner of the independent Sydney chain Gleebooks. But he expects the trend to continue – “Because when you’re a publisher, if you get a winner, you get a real winner.”
Lantern/Penguin publisher Julie Gibbs, whose stable includes Alexander, Karen Martini, David Thompson and Kylie Kwong, agrees the market is currently “overwhelmed”.
TV juggernaut MasterChef can claim much of the credit for a bumper year. 2010′s star is Our Family Table by series one winner Julie Goodwin. Nielsen BookScan data, which tracks sales by major retailers, reveals Goodwin’s homely tome sold 135,000 copies, generating $3.7 million in sales for Random House, which also takes out second place with MasterChef Australia The Cookbook: Volume 1 at 51,000 copies.
Those two books mean 10 cents in every $1 spent on cookbooks is MasterChef-related. And that’s not counting $770,000-plus from co-host Gary Mehigan’s Comfort Food. His new $50 book, Your Place or Mine, co-authored with George Calombaris, was released this week. Then there’s the first book by offal-loving contestant Chris Badenoch, The Entire Beast ($40), due out in November. So publishers are counting their blessings, and the true picture is probably even more impressive, since BookScan doesn’t include online and direct sales or newsagents.
The main players in the premium ($50 to $100) end are Penguin, under the Lantern imprint, and Murdoch Books. Quay (Murdoch), chef Peter Gilmore’s $95, 300-page monograph, released this week, is unquestionably a work of art, although the recipes are so complex it’s cooking’s equivalent of instructions to paint the Sistine Chapel. Want to make a salad of spring vegetables, herbs and flowers? First, gather your 42 ingredients.
Ed Petrie, now of Simon & Schuster and previously involved in launching 4 Ingredients, says success is all about simplicity. “Sometimes that’s been forgotten in the $100 masterpieces with difficult dishes,” he says.
Not always. Kylie Walker, food publisher at Murdoch Books, says their surprise hit, both here and overseas, is Bourke Street Bakery ($70), a Sydney bakery best known for its sausage rolls. But then, baking sells. Nostalgia, too. CWA Cakes ($25) was a hit in 2009.
Meanwhile, publisher Hardie Grant concentrates on the middle market ($20 to $50) with familiar TV names such as Ben O’Donoghue, Gabriel Gaté and Jane Kennedy, as well as Margaret Fulton. The power of supermarkets is demonstrated in 2010′s fourth highest-selling cookbook, Margaret Fulton’s Encyclopedia of Food and Cookery. All 37,000 copies crossed a Coles checkout.
ACP Books is behind one of the nation’s most trusted cooking brands, The Australian Women’s Weekly. The $40 AWW Slow Cooking book is No. 3 on BookScan’s 2010 ladder. Slow cooking is this year’s trend, with three books on the same subject selling 90,000 copies.
Picking the next big thing is close to impossible, especially when the big publishers commission work up to three years in advance. But with Junior MasterChef rating strongly, don’t be surprised if recipes by precocious tweenage cooks are next to hit the bestseller list.
The global financial crisis has triggered a shift towards thrift and comfort. Alexander showed far more insight than economics forecasters with her 2009 Kitchen Garden Companion, which sells well, despite its hefty $125 price (average selling price: $96).
Naturally, publishers are cagey about what’s in the pipeline, but Gibbs and Walker both expressed surprise at the speed with which some rival books appear. “There are some slapdash books out there,” Gibbs says. “A cookbook should have structure and take a reader on a journey. There’s a lot of craft that goes into it.”
Major publishers use “trust us” as a cornerstone of their appeal. A frightening number of books feature recipes that simply don’t work, perhaps due to missing ingredients (although authors such as Fulton, Alexander and Charmaine Solomon are generally beyond reproach).
While elegant books by celebrity chefs score plenty of free publicity, the meat-and-potatoes of cookbooks – “bookazines”, one publisher calls them – are the generic softcover recipe collections, priced under $15, in supermarket checkouts or newsagents. BookScan doesn’t count them. Remember AWW Slow Cooking? There’s a $13 version which, at 160,000 copies, sells around four times as many as the upmarket bookstore edition.
Australian cookbooks are not a new phenomenon but the rules changed under Margaret Fulton, whose recipes came garnished with photography. Colour dazzled, and still does. Now the food cognoscenti ask “Who shot it?” when a new tome arrives. Both photographer and stylist are key collaborators in what’s popularly dubbed “food porn”.
Production costs have soared as a result. “What was a $30 book is now in the $50 range,” says James Mills-Hicks, who worked for Murdoch Books as head of production for eight years. “Arguably, photos are more important than the recipes.”
Julie Gibbs defied accepted wisdom with the sparsely illustrated The Cook’s Companion, but nonetheless makes a habit of producing elaborate books where photography takes centre stage. “We’re such a visual tribe now. People want to see how a recipe’s meant to turn out,” she says.
And there’s the rub. Ed Petrie says “stylists take food out of the hands of a lot of people because they can’t replicate it”. Home cooks are getting performance anxiety as a result, because their efforts don’t match the photo. Margaret Fulton expresses similar concerns. “When it’s out of my hands, I don’t think you get food that looks the way the author sees it.”
So what do Australian publishers do well? Mills-Hicks says Murdoch made more money selling cookbooks overseas than domestically. “Blue skies and sunshine appealed to European buyers and that’s what Australia provided,” he says. “But a lot of the UK publishers have caught up with the Donna Hay/Marie-Claire/Bill Granger style.”
David Gaunt is proud of the local talent. “Thirty years ago, we were buying Elizabeth David for Mediterranean-Lebanese-Turkish influences. Now it’s Greg Malouf.”
On the downside, Mills-Hicks speaks for many when he notices the homogenous, copycat style creeping in. “They’re all doing big books to look like Stephanie or Jamie and there’s not much innovation,” he notes.
Petrie is more sanguine. “If simple, effective cookbooks are good value and that’s what people want, that’s what’s published.” As a champion of 4 Ingredients, widely criticised for “dumbing down” food, he’s scathing of complex recipes. “Cookbooks got way too complicated by technicians. Once that happens, they lose the everyday person who gets home at 7pm and has 30 minutes to prepare dinner.”
Walker counters that “there will always a market for beautiful books. They represent the top talent in Australia and offer something inspirational”.
There’s a publishing industry axiom that if someone makes two dishes from a cookbook, you’ve done well. Three dishes count as a runaway success. Yet there’s a disconnect between all the books we buy and the impact they have. Jane Kennedy, whose book OMG! I Can Eat That? ($40) hit the stores this week, sums it up best: “We buy the books and they sit on the shelf and they look nice. But people still go and get takeaway.”

Today I have a few events to tell you about …
This Saturday, June 19 at 7 p.m., I will be reading and signing at Copperfield’s bookstore in Santa Rosa, CA, with fellow YA authors Cheryl Renee Herbsman (Breathing) and Heidi R. Kling (Sea). We are going to be celebrating summer romance, so I promise to read a very summer-romancey scene in Ash.
This will be my last book event until this fall, when Ash comes out in paperback! So if you want a signed hardcover copy of Ash, this is the place to get it. If you can’t make it to the event but still want a signed hardcover, you should call the store and ask if they can reserve a copy for you.
In about a week and a half, I’ll be going to the American Library Association’s annual convention in Washington, D.C. I’m really looking forward to this because I have never been to Washington, D.C.! Like the true geek I am, I’m scheduling time to go to the Smithsonian. But you’re not interested in my geeky travel plans! Here are my official events at ALA:
Friday, June 25 — 12:30 to 4:00 p.m.

I’m looking forward to meeting many librarians.
Last but not least, I’m really excited to share the news that I’ll be going to Sirens, a conference about women in fantasy, this October in Vail, Colorado. I’ll be leading a roundtable discussion about queerness in fairy tales.
Sirens is only in its second year, but the buzz about last year’s conference was so tempting that I had to go. This year’s guests of honor are Holly Black, Marie Brennan, and Terri Windling. Other authors will be there too, including Cindy Pon, who will be on a panel about fairies around the world (and will also be my roomie! which means I will stay up all night gossiping like a teenager!). And I have heard rumors that the fabulous Sarah Rees Brennan may also be in attendance.
So if you have the interest and the means to go to Sirens this year, I encourage you to check out their website. I think it’s going to be an awesome time.
