Summary: One day on the remote desert planet Arvala-7 a Ugnaught named Kuiil found the remains of a ship that had crashed and what seemed to be the only thing to remain was an unconscious woman. When she woke up the woman had no memory of who she was or what had happened, all she could remember was the name Natsuki Sara.

Natsuki stayed with Kuiil, helped him on his farm while trying to piece together who she was. Then a certain Mandalorian arrived on their planet and changed everything. 

She ended up joining his crew after Kuiil denied his offer because she seemed to have the same skill set as him when it came to repairing ships after being with her for a few years. 

She also wanted to leave with him because Natsuki wanted to discover more of the galaxy in hopes of finding out more about her life, but she also seemed to have a soft spot for the bounty the Mandalorian had gotten in possession of.

Fandom: The Hunger Games Series

Faceclaim: Daisy Ridley

Love interest: Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen

Pinterest Board: Link

Summary: Rose is from District 8, and her parents died not long after she was born which meant the only person who could raise her was her grandmother Iris.Iris was a wise woman, she knew secret ways in and out of the district. So she taught Rose how to hunt and how to survive if anything happened to her and or their district. She raised Rose to be kind, brave, and strong, and to always stand up for others no matter what it could cost in return.

Rose was very close to her grandmother, but just a week before the 74th Hunger Games, Iris ended up having a heart attack and passing away. Her body was unable to withstand any more of the Capital's demands of long working hours.

Rose was left all by herself, she always had kept to herself beside her grandmother, but with her now gone...Rose didn't know what to do.

Iris always wanted and wished for her grandmother to open up more, make friends...and hopefully find someone to love and take care of her granddaughter.

But then Rose's name was called in the 74th Hunger Games.

Rose couldn't help but feel vulnerable and lost during this time. However, she ends up meeting two people who become the most important people in Rose's life.

Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen, the tributes for District 12. Rose never expected to become so close to another district tributes but she did and the three will change everything.

Pinterest Board: Link

Summary: Growing up in District 8 Eden knows nothing except that you worked to survive and after you turned 12…hope your name never gets called in The Hunger Games. Eden’s hope unfortunately shattered when she was 15 and her name was called for the 51st Hunger Games. She survived but she never understood why and thought that struggled with that knowledge.

During her victory tour, she ended up meeting District 12th victor and last year’s winner, Haymitch Abernathy. As they got to know each other more, Eden felt like she could relate to one another and they got close…too close and after a night of passion Eden woke up and got her heart shattered by Haymitch who said he wanted nothing to do with her, it was just all just for a bit of fun. He left and went back to his District while she went back to hers, trying to pick up the already shattered pieces of herself.

Years later Eden was now a cold, hard-shell of a person that never lets anyone in. Including the kids she’s forced to mentor and watch die year after year. Now at the 74th Hunger Games, Eden thought it would be like any other year, of couse it was the usual a boy tribute and a girl to die for Eden to mentor. But, this girl tribute,Rosette Clearhill, reminds Eden a lot on how she used to be before the Hunger Games and Eden felt the need to prepare her for what she might have to do to survive.

However, nothing could prepare Eden for what Rose and District 12s Tributes did at the end of The Hunger Games would cause for Eden and the rest of Panem.

Summary: Laila Blake has two loving Muggle parents and a fun Uncle who happens to be a wizard. Her Uncle Arron was the one who introduced her to the world of magic, telling her stories about what mischief he had gotten into with his friends at Hogwarts. Laila was fascinated and wanted to be one herself and one day an owl had brought her a letter inviting her to attend Hogwarts. On the train, she met a girl who also had muggle parents like herself, Hermione Granger. Hermione was Laila’s first friend and because of her Laila ended up meeting the one and only Harry Potter.

Love Interest: Oliver Quick

Summary: Will is an outsider, he has been his whole life. He has little to no family and they even don't want anything to do with him. Then Will only has only one friend...Oliver Quick. Oliver and Will have been 'friends' since they were children. Will would always go along with what Oliver wanted, no matter how sick his games were since Oliver would always tell him that he would be the only one in WIll's life that would accept him. So, when the two attended Oxford University, Will went along with Oliver's plan against Felix. Not saying anything even when Oliver would tell Felix things about his life that actually had happened to Will. Or even when Oliver was acting like William...Every time William tried to break from Oliver's spell, Oliver would just pull him back into the plan by using sweet words or touches of affection. Maybe deep down William was just as sick and twisted as his friend and lover Oliver Quick?

Summary: Maedalyn's father, Marthew Wyne, used to be the Master of Laws for The Small Council under Viserys I Targaryen at the beginning of his rule. Viserys and Marthew were good friends, so much so that both their daughters grew up and bonded together. But suddenly when Maedalyn was only 12 years of age her father was killed. Marthew was the only one left in the Wyne family, besides Maedalyn herself, so she truly had nowhere to go. In honor of his good friends' loyalty and memory, Viserys took it upon himself to care for Maedalyn as if she were his own. So, she lived with Rhaenyra, but others believed that Maedalyn was a waste, or should be doing something other than living in the King's castle. Maedalyn was no stranger to such topics and whispers, but Maedalyn's best friend Rhaenyra was always there to cheer her up or to just simply comfort her. As they grew older Maedalyn found herself wanting more and craving her Princess in a way that was more than friendship. But no matter how her feelings wanted more, Maedalyn would do anything for Rhaenyra and do whatever it took to ensure that her Princess would become the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

Summary: Judith May is a small-town girl born in Jasper, Missouri. As a teenager, she ran away to live in the big city. But, years later Judith returned to her hometown, trying to pick up the pieces of her life that ended up being shattered by the struggle she faced over the years. When Judith came back, her Uncle Emmett opened up his farm to her and she helped her around the farm while bartending for Frank Tilghman at his club, the Double Deuce.

Working nights there is hard and sometimes unbearable from all the chaos that goes on, but Judith just does what she can and puts her head down to get through the night in one piece. One day a man named James Dalton came into the town and her Uncle Emmett was letting him stay in their sparse barn.

Then later that night at work, Judith sees him at the club and finds out that her boss Frank hired him to take over security at the club, giving him full authority over the club's operations. As Judith gets closer to Dalton, she finds out that there is more to the stoic and cool-headed man.

The two end up falling in love, something that Judith said she would never do again, but the couple soon finds trouble when the crime lord, Brad Wesley, doesn’t like the changes Dalton is doing to his town.

Judith finds herself, Dalton, and everyone she cares about in danger, but Dalton promises to protect her no matter what.

Brookledge to Hold May 8th virtual fundraiser for Magicians

Brookledge Cares Virtual Fundraiser to Put a Little Magic Back Into the Lives of Magicians Impacted by COVID-19

From the Historic, L.A. Estate, Brookledge, Featuring Penn & Teller, David Copperfield, Neil Patrick Harris, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Reubens & More!

Virtual Event Includes Tour of Brookledge, a Rare Glimpse Into the Location Considered the ‘Forerunner’ to World-Renowned Magic Castle Clubhouse

( Editors note.. I just received this from my friends at Greenleaf & Associates. Please note the event will be archived so you can watch it at a later date. This is the PERFECT way for magicians to help other magicians. I hope you support it and I hope to see you Saturday..  Rick Carruth )

HOLLYWOOD — May 3, 2021 — For Immediate Release:  A star-studded, virtual fundraiser, Brookledge Cares, will be held by the historic Brookledge estate, May 8 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. Cost is $10 per ticket.  Presented in part by the Jack Oakie and Victoria Horne Oakie Charitable Foundation, supporting The Magic Castle for nearly four decades.

Proceeds from the Brookledge-style salute to variety artists will benefit the Dai Vernon Foundation, which provides financial aid to those pursuing an education; launching ambitious performance, research or historical projects; and those in difficult circumstances or suffering hardships. It also conducts community outreach via performances at hospitals and other charitable organizations. Over the years, the foundation has provided grants to hundreds of magicians, performers and employees in need, including 165 COVID relief grants over the past year.

This benefit will feature a who’s who of magic and Hollywood, including Neil Patrick Harris, Dick & Arlene Van Dyke, David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, Paul Reubens, Larry Wilmore, Jason Alexander, Michael Carbonaro & Peter Stickles, Puddles Pity Party and Moby.  Special appearances by Rob Zabrecky, Marawa Wamp, Basil Twist & Ken Ard, Shoot Ogawa, Steven Banks, Aaron Grooves, Armen Ksajikian and more.  Hosted by Two-Headed Dog (Jim Turner & Mark Fite) and Liberty Larsen.

The event will also offer a personal tour by Liberty Larsen, a rare glimpse into the location considered the “forerunner” to the AMA’s world-famous clubhouse, The Magic Castle, the historic Brookledge estate, owned by the Larsen family, founders of the Magic Castle.

Donate & buy tickets at:  http://www.DaiVernonFoundation.org/Brookledge

(** Please note - the fundraiser will be archived so you can watch it at another time.. )

Although on hiatus during the pandemic, The Brookledge Follies, an invitation-only, “contemporary Vaudeville,” variety-and-magic show, is performed once a month (April-November) in the estate’s small theater. The free show has become one of the hottest tickets in town and is frequently attended by such Hollywood elite as Sophia Vergara, Joe Manganiello, Ryan Gosling, Jason Alexander, Christina Hendricks, Jason Sudukis, Danny Elfman, Matthew Gubler, Randy Newman, Paul Reubens and director John Landis, to name a few.

Launched with a bequest from the estate of renowned close-up magician Dai Vernon—the only magician to ever fool Harry Houdini—upon his death in 1992, the Dai Vernon Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, aides, elevates and recognizes practitioners and supporters of the art of magic at all levels and in all walks of life.

The history of the Brookledge estate …

The Magic Castle was founded by writer, actor, magician and entrepreneur Milt Larsen (formerly a writer for the 1956-77 television show Truth or Consequences); his late brother, Bill Larsen, Jr. (a former producer of the Danny Kaye and Jonathan Winters variety shows); and Bill’s wife, Irene, who remained the Castle’s ever-gracious hostess until her death in February 2016.

Members of the Larsen family have been performing magic continuously since the mid ’20s, with the fourth generation now on stage. Milt and Bill’s parents, Geraldine (“Geri”) and William Larsen, Sr., both performed as professional magicians and are noted pioneers in the art. Beginning during the Depression in the late ’30s (the Vaudeville era), the family—now including Bill, Jr., and Milt—began touring as the “Larsen Family of Magicians,” playing upscale, resort hotels in southern California.

A stage constructed at their historic Brookledge estate—built in 1933 in L.A.’s Hancock Park and purchased by the Larsens in 1942 from the founder of the Thayer Magic Company, which they also acquired—became an informal gathering place for the magic community of the day. Virtually every famous name in illusion visited and performed at the estate, often referred to as the “forerunner to the Magic Castle.” Retired from life on the road and managing the magic apparatus company, Bill, Sr., dreamed of opening an elegant, private clubhouse for magicians, but died at just 48.

In 2009, Erika Larsen (Bill, Jr.’s daughter), who resides at the estate, created The Brookledge Follies, a “contemporary Vaudeville” variety-and-magic show performed once a month (April-November) in the small theater, which holds just 60 people. Although currently on hiatus due to the COVID pandemic, attendance is by invitation only, but the free show has become one of the hottest tickets in town and is frequently attended by a who’s who of Hollywood like Moby, Sophia Vergara, Joe Manganiello, Ryan Gosling, Jason Alexander, Christina Hendricks, Matthew Gubler, Randy Newman, Paul Reubens and director John Landis, to name a few.

About her childhood, Erika recalls magic’s most famed faces around the Larsen home and laughs, “We did see the best of the best in magic, but I grew up in a bubble. My siblings and I just thought that’s what people did—Make things disappear and carry a deck of cards everywhere.”

The elder Larsens launched Genii magazine in 1952 (its circulation considered a loose affiliation of magicians that later became the AMA’s initial membership), which is the longest, continually published magic magazine in the world.

The Magic Castle was originally constructed as the Rollin B. Lane residence (a wealthy banker and his socialite wife), built among Los Angeles’ orange groves in 1909-10. Externally, the Gothic Renaissance chateau is the mirror image of the Kimberly Crest house and gardens in Redlands, Calif. The Hollywood mansion had fallen into disrepair by the late ’40s (even serving for a time as a boarding house).  In 1962, Milt Larsen approached his brother about reviving their father’s dream of a private club for magicians and, after securing a lease from the owner of Hollywood’s Yamashiro restaurant (next door) with a handshake, began restoring the landmark mansion to its former opulence.

The Magic Castle intertwines illusion and mystery with the history of the Los Angeles area. Much of the ornate décor was rescued from the wrecking ball on construction sites or from Hollywood studio sets before being dumped into the trash (long before the practice of salvaging became chic). John Shrum, former art director for NBC and The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson, was also an avid Castle enthusiast. (Look for the famous talk show’s original “cityscape” backdrop in the Owl Bar.)  Many other AMA members, also well positioned within the entertainment industry, have left their personal imprints on the Magic Castle as well.
