Magic is a profitable business for
illusionist Michael Spryn (1&-computer
science).
Spryn has been interested in magic
since the 3rd grade. A semi-professional,
he has been presenting magic shows for
years in Maine, New Hampshire and
Pennsylvania.
"It's a hobby right now, but I'm keeping
it in consideration if I find it makes more
money than the job I'll have after
graduation," Spryn said. He said he is
financing his college expenses with money
earned from performances. .
Spryn said he takes most of his tricks
from books, and has close to $5OO worth of
equipment.
"I am starting to use livestock in my act
now. I don't pull rabbits out of hats, but I
pull them out of other unusual places,"
Spryn said.
He said he also has begun to design his
own tricks. "They're unique and besides
they're cheaper," Spryn said.
cheaper," Spryn said.
Je tricks used vary with the size of the
nce. "It's really hard to say exactly
how;pany tricks I have. I can do five 25-
minufe shows without repeating a trick,"
Spryn said. "My repertoire is constantly
expanding."
He said he usually perfects a trick in
three or four days, although harder tricks

may take a few weeks.
Spryn said there is no strict format to
his shows.
"I have some idea of what rm going to
say, but a large part has to do with the
audience," he said. He said he has special
tricks to awe the kids who claim they know
how every trick is done.
Children seem especially interested in
his acts.
"Children can identify with a magician,
and to them I'm always a magician. They
go crazy coming up to the stage and
helping in my act," Spryn said.
"Kids will come up after the show and
say `Turn me into a rabbit,' " Spryn said.
Spryn said he is does not consider
himself a magician because "Magicians
pretend to have supernatural powers."
Unlike magicians, Spryn's "costume"
consists of flashy modern suits.
Spryn became interested in magic by
watching magician Mark Wilson on a
weekly Michigan TV show. He entered
church talent shows when 14-years-old
and, along with his brother and sisters,
presenting back yard carnivals in which
he gave shows in magic and ven
triloquism. Spryn said the carnivals
helped him learn how to deal with an
audience.
What makes Spryn best qualified to be a
magician is his ability to keep a secret.
"My roommates are about ready to kick
me out because I won't tell them how I do
thy tricks," Spry said.

SenatO asks publication
of Watergate information
WASHINGTON (UPI/ The Senate voted
yesterday to ask President Ford to make
public the "fruits" of the Watergate in
vestigation, but turned down a Republican
effort to make a related requirement apply to
congressmen as well.
A non-binding resolution requestipg full
publication of the resu#s of the Watergate
inquiry was approved a voice vote.
But when the Senate turned to a bill which
would require Richard Is/ixon to turn over to
the government all Of his tapes and
documents, Assistant Republican Leader
Robert Griffin of Michigan proposed an
amendment demanding the same of all
members of Congress and all future
presidents.
It was defeated by a vote of 47 to 32 on a
motion to table.
Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr., D-N.C., who was
chairman of the Senate Watergate Com
mittee, said the bill is I related "solely to
Watergate matters and no senator or
representative is involved in Watergate so
far as I've heard."
.
And Sen. Russell Long! D-La., exclaimed:
"Whit did we have to do with Watergate?"
Griffin argued that the4vernment seizure

of Nixon's papers and d uments while he
was president raised serious constitutional
questions, and that the bill requiring Nixon to
give the government all of his papers and
tapes should apply to all presidents and
members of Congress.-
But Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wis:, said the
bill was "an emergency measure," designed
to assure that the tape recordings and papers

Another is a resolution requiring instead
of requesting Ford to publish all of the
facts about. Watergate as well as the tapes
.and documents,
The third, now under consideration, would
give the government custody of the tapes and
papers. This would nullify an agreement
between Ford and Nixon under which .the
papers wouldbe in joint custody of Nixon and
the government for five years and belong
soley to Nixon thereafter.
The Nixon-Ford agreement also provides
that all -the documents would be destroyed
should Nixon die before the end of the five
year period.
' The non-binding resolution urged Ford to
make public all the facts related to
Watergate and "the fruits of all in
vestigations" into the scandal. The resolution
also urged Ford to make public all of Nixon's
tapes, papers, documents, memoranda, and
transcripts, unless they deal with national
security. Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield said the resolutions would provide
"all the facts of Watergate" to the American
people.
"Watergate and all its ramifications is not
behind us," he said.

will remain available for use as evidence in
trials relating to Watergate.
It also, he said, 'will guarantee that the
American people eventually will learn the
full story behind the scandals.
The earlier non-binding iresolution was the
first of three pieces of legislation dealing
with Watergate and nQw scheduled for
Senate action.
