Maunder, Edward Walter (1851-1928) - English astronomer who while studying the history of sunspots discovered a period from 1645 to 1715 in which there appeared a lack of sunspots.

Beginning in 1897 she categorized the different spectra of stars of the same color. She narrowed the classification sequences then in use.

    Extractions: John Harrison's interest in clocks and watches originated during his childhood. According to tradition, Harrison survived a life-threatening bout of smallpox comforted by the steady ticking of a pocket watch that had been placed by his bedside. As a teenager growing up near the English port town of Hull, Harrison began to design and build clocks for the wealthy merchants of the town. In 1714, when he was twenty-one years old, Harrison heard that a grand prize of 20,000 pounds sterling was being offered by the British Parliament for a solution to the problem of determining a ship's longitude at sea. A Board of Longitude had been appointed to study the problem and to award the prize to anybody who solved it. Accurate measurment of a ship's longitude, or position to the east or west of a given point on the globe, was considered by many sailors to be an unsolvable problem in navigation. In the two centuries that European nations had been regularly sending ships across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World, many had been lost or stranded far from their original destinations because their captains were unable to determine their exact location while crossing the open ocean.

    Extractions: COMETA MÁGICO If you can't view left menu click Here Jasper Maskelyne Jasper Maskelyne, was born in 1902 in England, a music hall conjurer, never fired a shot in battle, but his amazing feats played a key role in the Allied victory in Africa. Among his many triumphs, Maskelyne “hid” the Suez Canal and conjured up illusions of armies and battleships, fooling German forces led by General Erwin Rommel into retreat. The grandson of John Nevil Maskelyne, one of the founding fathers of British magic, Maskelyne was a celebrated stage magician before the war. Convinced he could use his skills to help the army, Maskelyne wooed sceptical officials by creating the illusion of a German warship floating down the Thames using mirrors and a model. He was placed in charge of the Royal Engineers Camouflage Corps and sent to Egypt where he performed some genuine mission impossibles. Asked to prevent the Germans from bombing Alexandria Harbour, the conjurer redirected the bombers by recreating the harbour’s exact lighting pattern three miles away. He “vanished” the Suez Canal by building a series of spinning strobe lights to put pilots off their bearings. Maskelyne’s greatest triumph came in 1942 when he successfully convinced Rommel that the British Eighth Army was in the south of the Egyptian desert and that the Alamein attack would begin there rather than in the north. Although praised privately by Churchill and hunted by Hitler, Maskelyne ended his days in relative obscurity as a farmer in Kenya and died in 1973.

    Extractions: Jasper Maskelyne Jasper Maskelyne nació en Inglaterra en 1902, en una familia de magos, nieto de John Nevil Maskelyne, uno de los padres de la magia británica, fue famoso no solo por su arte sino por el empleo de esta durante la guerra. Deslumbró al público y fue un héroe sin disparar un solo tiro en la guerra. Jasper Maskelyne, ese gran artista, entre sus aventuras se recuerda el engaño a los nazis, que jugó un papel importante en la victoria aliada en África. Entre las proezas de Maskelyne podemos mencionar que "escondió" el Canal de Suez y conjuró a los ataques de ejércitos y acorazados, engañando a las fuerzas alemanas comandadas por el legendario General Erwin Rommel poniéndolo en retirada. Maskelyne era un mago famoso antes de la guerra, convencido de que podría usar sus habilidades para ayudar al ejército, Maskelyne cortejó a los oficiales escépticos creando la ilusión de un buque de guerra alemán que flota abajo el Thames, usando espejos y un modelo. Fue puesto a cargo del Cuerpo Real de Ingenieros del Camuflaje y enviado a Egipto donde realizó la misión imposible de impedir a los alemanes que bombardearan el Puerto de Alejandría. El mago tuvo la ocurrencia de crear una réplica exacta del puerto a 3 millas, con lo cual derivó a los bombarderos alemanes a descargar sus bombas lejos del objetivo. Hizo "desaparecer" el Canal de Suez construyendo una serie de luces estroboscópicas o de hilado para poner a pilotos fuera de sus rumbos. Pero tal vez su hazaña mas recordada fue en 1942 cuando engaño al Mariscal Rommel sobre la verdadera posición del Octavo Ejercito Británico, en el sur del desierto egipcio y no por donde realmente atacaría para triunfar. Aunque alabado privadamente por Churchill y cazado por Hitler, Maskelyne acabó sus días en oscuridad relativa como un granjero en Kenya pasando a la inmortalidad en 1973.

Lady Masham was by no means the vulgar, ill-educated person she was represented to have been by her defeated rival, the duchess of Marlborough; her extant letters, showing not a little refinement of literary style, prove the reverse. Swift, with whom both she and her husband were intimate, describes Lady Masham as “a person of a plain sound understanding, of great truth and sincerity, without the least mixture of falsehood or disguise.” The barony of Masham became extinct when Lady Masham’s son, Samuel, the 2nd baron, died in June 1776.

    Extractions: The Little Egypt Gazette presents: In the July 1996 issue of The Little Egypt Gazette , which I naively thought would be the final issue of this journal, I included an article entitled "Mr. Parrish and Company." The piece was an appreciation of four books that significantly influenced me as a child and which, for better or worse, led me down this magical path so many of you have also chosen. The books were New Ways to Mystify and For Magicians Only , by Robert Parrish; Magic Made Easy , a soft-covered pulp how-to book by Carl March (a pseudonym for Sid Fleischman); and Magic for All , by magician/cartoonist Bob Dunn. For the sake of brevity, I omitted two other influential books from that article Our Magic , by Maskelyne and Devant (which I assumed all magicians to be familiar with), and an introductory tome, Everybody's Book of Magic , by Will Dexter. As both these books are of British origin, and because they gave me, at a young age, a particularly British view of the overall world of magic, now is a fitting time in which to consider their merits, and especially to bring them to the attention of any reader who has yet to encounter them. Nevil Maskelyne and David Devant My home town library's edition of Our Magic looked (still looks, actually, as I now own it) more like a magic book than any other book I've ever seen. Its cover is a rich brown cloth, and, although the binding has been replaced with a stock library binding, replete with the Dewey decimal 793.8, the cover still clearly conveys the image of a Merlinesque figure holding a steaming bowl of something, with bats fluttering about his head. The three principal sections of the book, "The Art in Magic," "The Theory of Magic," and "The Practice of Magic," are prominently displayed along with the authors' names, Nevil Maskelyne and David Devant. (Maskelyne wrote the first two sections, Devant the last.) It's a surprisingly heavy book for its size, no doubt because of the weight of the 505 glossy pages within.

The successful magic play is considered a rare or even high form of the art in the magic world, while the addition of magical elements to a stage play are common. In general there are three types of magic plays, which were first identified in reference to Les Miracles de Notre Dame (Roman Catholic mystery plays that featured magical/miracle effects in the thirteenth century.) The three types of plays are: (1) those in which the miracle (magic) is the climax to the plot, in which the playwright has built his tale towards the final wonder; (2) those in which the miracle (magic), while necessary to resolving the
