About the GEM On March 16th 2007 the Group of Mentalists e.V. i.Gr (GEM) was founded in Cologne, Germany. The idea of the group is to create a community for people who are interested especially in the magic field of mentalism. Of course the GEM is striving to grow, but not at any price. Candidates for a membership must therefore run through a certain selection process in order to become a full member of the exclusive community. Therefore the GEM is a sworn in community where the members respect and help each other unstintingly. The main goal of the GEM is the promotion of our art, the transfer of knowledge as well as to provide help and assistance for each single member. To achieve these goals the GEM will create a so called media library, which will consist of media of any kind dealing with mentalism, bought and owned by the GEM. Besides the oppurtunity for all members to make use of this library there is also a restricted forum, where members can talk reservedly about techniques, effects and theories on the art of mentalism. Furthermore there will be a magazine called "MindGEM" on a quarterly basis which will be reserved for all GEM members. A convention of the members will be held each year, where members get together, talk, exchange their experiences and visit seminars. For explicit details about the goals of the GEM please take a look at the statute. If you are interested in a membership of the GEM please request your application by klicking on the corresponding button. You will then be instructed about all reqirements for becoming a member of the group. For further information and questions please feel free to contact the managing committee. Druckversion webdesign fx4u.de Some thoughts.... 1. They announce: "The main goal of the GEM is the promotion of our art, the transfer of knowledge as well as to provide help and assistance for each single member. To achieve these goals the GEM will create a so called media library, which will consist of media of any kind dealing with mentalism, bought and owned by the GEM. Besides the oppurtunity (sic) for all members to make use of this library...." Bet the authors of mentalism books and DVDs will be delighted to hear about this ! The members of the organization will only have to buy for themselves that rare item they've already borrowed from the "library" and screened and found they truly loved. Some may even copy the borrowed master library item. 2. I believe the Psychic Entertainers Association reaches out to members across the world and ALL are enriched from the exchange of information among people of different backgrounds. I think that's a better approach than the provinicalism and parochialism inherent in a regional organization. Moreover, it would be pretty foolish today for someone to start a "North American Mentalists Association," making people of other nationalities feel unwelcome. I think the same would be so of mentalist associations focusing on other continents. It isn't even in good taste in a world where we are striving on all levels to open doors and encourage international exchange. |

Nobody shall fee unwelcome.
We shall call ourselves international association? I would like to hear the Reactions Everbody's welcome! Some Words about the media library: The meaning is that every Member ar free to write his Books and DVD's into a Database. That means only the Name or Title of that. So other Member's have the Possibility to aks them about a Routine or a Info. We don't accept Copy's or ilegal Stuff! In fact every Candidate must giving proof of his knowledge to get a Membership. Our Plan is to create a possibility for Mentalists to exchange her Knowledge,get new ideas for ther Shows and meet each other. Also to be shure that no Trick- Routine- and Info Collectors in our Board and between us.This Situation we find every Day in the open Boards all over the Magic World Hope to made something clear. Please let us know if any Questions in the air :-9 |

If you think to found a unite with "europe" in its name is "provincial" then this is just your point of view. I don´t think that a continent with more than 680 mio. inhabitants and 46 countries nor is "provincial" , neither narrow-minded to found an unite with "europe" in its name. As kenzo already mentioned, generally everybody is welcome, also people from USA or england I also use "american express" although I´m german and I have no problems with or feel unwelcome because of the name. I think your thoughts are full of prejudices without knowing anything about this group or their members and their goals.

While this is an exciting idea, the structure and use of the media library is very unclear. I can only assume that producers of video and digital print material included in the collection will be paid the regular price plus an addition special licence fee. This certainly occurs when other kinds of libraries (at least legitimate ones) purchases material for its members. Otherwise, such a group would be grossly unfair to the producers. Or, is the library just for material produced and contributed by the actual members?
