	Svengali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Svengali is the name of a fictional hypnotist in George du Maurier's 1894 novel, Trilby.
		Svengali transforms Trilby into a great singer using hypnosis, but she cannot perform without his help in entering a trance state.
		The relation between Svengali and Trilby forms only a small portion of the novel, which is mainly an evocation of Bohemian Paris in the 1850s.

		Through his powerful talent for hypnosis, Svengali is able to bring Trilby under his spell, taking her away from her family and the heartbroken Billee.
		Svengali and Trilby travel throughout Europe from one concert to the next, thrilling audiences with her magnificent talent.
		After that chance meeting, Svengali systematically ruins Trilby's career, canceling concerts and moving from place to place, in an effort to avoid her reuniting with the persistent Billee.

		But under Svengali's influence Trilby writes a letter to Billee telling him she no longer wishes to see him and her clothes are found near the Seine indicating a possible drowning.
		Svengali realizes that Trilby only loves him when under his hypnotic spell and that he can no longer live without fully possessing her.
		The evil overbearing Svengali and his submissive passive woman both die, as that is the only way the weary one believes he can have her forever.

	Disciplining the Diva: Teaching Trilby to Sing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Svengali's hypnotizing Trilby leads directly to her death at the end of the novel; however, his hypnosis is also productive, as it produces a voice the world more beautiful than the world has seen before.
		Svengali's ocular instrument may very well be a laryngoscope in the du Maurier drawing, or it may not be; regardless, he is using a contraption designed to peer into the back of Trilby's throat and, based on his knowledge as singing teacher and medical man, he determines that she can sing.
		Svengali must be read as being a medical man, as well as a teacher of singing, rather than being read as being homosexual, as Doty does, or exclusively as threatening Jew, as much of the rest of the extant criticism does.

		Svengalis have reigned supreme as the king of gaffed decks for decades in magic stores, fairgrounds, and carnivals around the world are probably responsible for getting thousands of people into magic.
		Save the Svengali for your last card effect after you’ve subconsciously established in the minds of the audience that the deck you are using is an ordinary one.
		That gimmicky sound of a Svengali being riffle shuffled is easily camouflaged by using a light touch, and you will find that you can convincingly false shuffle a Svengali both overhand and riffle with a minimal amount of practice.

	Svengali (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		SVENGALI is only borderline horror at best, yet it remains a true gem, an absorbing achievement in every way: from the powerful lead performance of John Barrymore, to the delicious beauty of 16 year-old Marian Marsh, to the bizarre set designs of Anton Grot, to the wonderful direction by Archie Mayo.
		SVENGALI has its share of little scratches and marks on occasion, but the original materials are still in remarkable condition and the image remains smooth and clear throughout.
		SVENGALI is a must to behold for the connoisseur of early chestnut classics from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

	Svengali (1931) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When Svengali finally succeeds in intercepting Trilby, she is complaining of a terrible headache, and he uses Trilby’s throbbing temples as an excuse to hypnotize her.
		At no point is Svengali ever identified specifically as being Jewish, but his appearance, accent, and initial behavior are all unmistakably drawn from the era’s most negative stereotypes about Jews, and with a less nuanced performance than the one Barrymore provides, the characterization would be exceedingly distasteful.
		Svengali is able to link his mind with Trilby’s even from all the way across the city, and when he takes control of her, it is a matter of his will crushing and subsuming hers by brute mental force.

	Svengali
		In the novel, Svengali, a middle-aged, unsuccessful musician, captured Trilby by a disguised induction, then hypno-trained her into a split personality (and a brilliant singer).
		Svengali told her to sit down on the divan, and sat opposite to her, and bade her look him well in the white of the eyes.
		Svengali gradually transformed her from a proud, independent person into an obedient hypno-tool.

		Svengali lists her former lovers and appeals to her conscience: "You are good like a little bird, like a lark that must sing in the sunlight - but are you good enough to face Billie's mother?" and his cunning is crowned by success.
		Svengali, bemedalled, and "La Svengali", loaden with jewels look very new-rich, but the glittering facade crumbles: Svengali's heart is failing, slowly he loses his grip on Trilby.
		Svengali, of course is that immortal teacher of female singers who can work wonders via his hypnotic glare: Trilby is his newest conquest: she becomes the toast of Europe as Madame Svengali, the singer - all because of his supernatural powers.

		It is a literary allusion to the character Svengali, a hypnotist, in George du Maurier's 1894 novel Trilby.
		Svengali is first found in this allusive sense in the 1910s.
		The other word stemming from this novel is the eponymous trilby 'a hat made of soft felt with an indented crown', after such a hat appearing in an illustration for the novel.

		The camera swings around Svengali's motionless form, until we are looking into his face; his eyes are opaque, sign that his power is at work.

		Svengali is revealed as a heartless scoundrel with manipulative and exploitative intent -- but worse, there is a hint that he is the one responsible for the woman's death, an amoral opportunist with a frightening hypnotic power.

		Marian Marsh is tantalizing as Svengali's unwitting victim, but the powerhouse performance belongs to John Barrymore, who was widely considered the greatest living American actor at the time of SVENGALI's release.
		George L. du Maurier, author of "Svengali," was the father of stage actor Gerald du Maurier and grandfather of novelist Daphne du Maurier.

		There is humor in the way you have narrated the story but at the same time there is underlying serious thought provoking questions about naming the babies without foresight of the practical difficulties they face in daily life.
		well, dunno about sup and maya, but a requiem can't pull of a svengali either [or for that matter a sup or a maya or anyone else].
		Svengali, Just on a serious note, I for one, believe, that it is parents duty that they give good careful thought in naming their children !

		Plot Outline: Through hypnotism and telepathic mind control, a sinister music maestro controls the singing voice, but not the heart, of the woman he loves.
		The stylized acting of the time, which appears artificial by today's standards, seems to me to go well with the weird expressionist set design in evoking a fantastic world where fantastic things can occur.
		Also, the chance to see Barrymore ham it up in grand style as Svengali is, in my view, a rare treat, like experiencing a bit of show biz history.

		The acronym Svengali was Gil Evans’ pseudonym, and Russell brings in Evans’ son Miles to lay on a sumptuous trumpet part.
		Of all the tunes on the record, this is the most overtly bebop-oriented, beginning with an almost orchestral theme and then devolving into solo space for Russell and Evans.

	DVD Empire - Item - Svengali / DVD-Video
		Based on George du Maurier's novel Trilby, which had already spawned a silent film, Svengali (1932) shifts the story's focus from the student Trilby (Marian Marsh) to the hypnotic, domineering tutor Svengali, played by the great John Barrymore.
		Director Archie Mayo gave Barrymore his head (which was adorned with an outlandish beard), resulting in what may be the actor's most bizarre, and probably hammiest, performance.
		So much that "Svengali" has become a part of our language, describing someone who tries to influence others for their own evil intentions.

		In Svengali, the 1955 adaptation of George DuMaurier's classic novel Trilby, Donald Wolfit achieves the near-impossible: he out-hams John Barrymore, who'd played Svengali in the 1931 version.
		While under Svengali's spell, Trilby forgets all about "Little" Billy (Terence Morgan) the starving artist who loves her fervently.
		The film's best moment is the celebrated Covent Garden climax, wherein Svengali finally, and fatally, relaxes his hold on Trilby.
