PeterLamont: Well what really gets the legend going is a story which is written in 1890 about a couple of guys who go to India and they see what we'd now call the Indian rope trick.
PeterLamont: He saw it in 1917, he reported it in 1919 and it was published in the press in Britain in 1919.
PeterLamont: I suppose that the reason it's often voted by magicians as the world's greatest illusion is because it can't be done.
Lamont told me, "I had invested many hundreds of thousands of dollars in Mambo over the years and a decision to assign the IP was not something I consider lightly.
According to PeterLamont, the Mambo Steering Committee representatives that were selected to participate in the formation of the foundation suddenly demanded that the copyrights to the Mambo code be assigned to the Mambo Foundation.
Lamont didn't trust Eddie or Teeman, or their friends; he had seen evidence that suggested they were planning to wrest control of the project for their own commercial purposes.
Using the example of the fabled Indian rope trick, Lamont aims to show, and largely succeeds, how people will believe a thing is true, despite all rational evidence to the contrary, indeed despite outright denials of its existence, if it is repeated that it is true often enough.
PeterLamont is a research fellow at Edinburgh University looking into the history, theory and performance of magic, so the choice of his subject is not so surprising.
Such mass credulity is rarely created in a vacuum and the real joy of Lamont's book lies in his scholarship of the flamboyant music-hall magic acts which flourished in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
PeterLamont (November 12, 1929) is a noted set decorator, script editor, art director, and production designer most famous for working on fifteen James Bond films.
a bright, wintry morning in November, 1890, a young Regina entrepreneur, PeterLamont, broke from his usual routine to walk to a little powerhouse at the corner of Dewdney and Smith.
Lamont's engineer was already there stoking a head of steam in the plant.
Lamont's little plant supplied power to a handful of customers, but only during hours of darkness because, as he later wrote, “...there were no hot plates or percolators then.”
