Karen Blair University of Cincinnati purrhasp and how to do he tricks. At first Tom worked alone, but soon realized he needed an assistant. His neighbor, Lori Illy, volunteered to help. They added a male assistant, Dan Vogel, and now have become Cincinnati's youngest professional magic team.

The Teenage Tricksters with Tom as the "Contemporary Warlock" do a 30 minute act featuring doves and illusions. TOM FEELS that if you have mastered tricks with animals the audience considers you a professional. Of course, his tricks are small stuff compared with the "Magic Circus" but his doves really draw the By ANN' WINTKRS Tom Heaton's interest in magic was sparked about five years ago when he and his family were vacationing in Colorado. He saw a magic show, was very impressed and he was curious about how the tricks were done. After returning home, Tom saw another magic act on TV.

"That did it," he said, "I had to find out how the stuff was done. I wanted to take the bows and get the applause." Tom was eight years old at the time and he needed some professional advice. He asked his mother to write a letter to the Colorado magician. The reply came a few weeks later, giving hints on how to begin, what equipment to carnivals, all major nursing homes and playgrounds in the area plus being a part of the entertainment provided by the incinnati Rcrneation Commission. They recently participated in the Multiple Sclerosis telethon at North-gate Mall.

The Tricksters put their earnings back into equipment for their act. This way they can build up the act and earn more money for each performance. "You never reach the point when you think you are good," Tom says. "You always want to outdo yourself." In January the Cincinnati International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Cincinnati Society of American Magicians are sponsoring a contest for young magicians. The winner represents Cincinnati in Columbus.

Tom is working to perfect a few new tricks for the contest. kg 1l iMbai ummsih mm The Teenage Tricksters, from left to right, Dan Vogel, 13; Tom Heaton, 13; and Lori ipy, 2 perform a magic trick with their doves.

McKendree Spring is more than just another sound By JIM KNIPPENBERG Sooner or later, people are going to have to catch on to McKendree Spring.

It's just inevitable. The group's entirely too' good to let fall by the wayside, as so often happens when a really good group teeters forever on the brink but never quite moves into the realm of mass acceptance. McKendree Fran McKendree, Chris Bishop, Marty Sliitsky, Michael Dreyfuss-has been around a pretty long time by rock and roll standards. Five years. In that time, they've crossed the U.S.

and England a number of times, hitting most of the concert halls and coffee houses along the way. Always to a rather phenomenal reception. There also are five MCA albums, the newest (two or three weeks old) being "Spring Suite." Newest, and. probably the best. But first just a bit of background: Band members come from the folk (McKendree and Slutsky) and the classical (Dreyfuss) tradition; Dreyfuss is a doctor (as in M.D.) who's intd freaky instruments; all four are wonderfully mad, fun people; the group is on the verge of breaking out-maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, but soon; it's probably one of- the two or three top groups on the college circuit; instruments used by the group include acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric violin, electric viola, Moog synthesizer and theremin; the place to hear it all is on "Spring Suite." The first thing you notice about it is no drums.

A rock and roll band without drums. Even more heretical: It works to their advantage. Gives it all a sort of unique, almost spacey, quality, that you can hear nowhere else. You next notice this amazing electric string work by Michael Dreyfuss-molded after It's a Beautiful Day only better. More literate, more in iine with what the rest of the band is doing.

More than just another pretty sound. And then you notice that this is really a tight band. One of the tightest you've ever heard. Studio miracles and doctoring aside, the band is together. After that, thoughts about the quality start pouring in almost nonstop: About the vocals, lead and backup, about sJSfle line piano work, about Chris Bishop's bass work that does almost double duty, about the material which is as lifUqye and captivating as anything on the market.

The material, by the way, is entirely original with the exception of one cut. That's somewhat of a departure for' tJJCgroup, which built quite a handsome reputation as one ofthe scene's best interpreters of other people's music. JSZJSpring Suite" is a concept album of sorts, based on the theme of loneliness and the need for human compassion. It's loosely, about an orphan, his growth to maturity and the sfairii for something just a little better, all developed through recurring images of madmen, winter, intergalactic visitors of great wisdom and woodland nymphs. -wit's an up-journey, with sad moments along the way, bijg jeading finally to the realization "that winter-time couid pass." It just takes a bit of an education along the CBesides the recurring metaphors and themes to hold thS-tecord togethef, there also are a number of recurring themes, always harkening back or looking forward.

You hear it especially in the piano and vaQflf, but in minor doses with the other instruments. iThe most exciting feature of "Spring" is that it's an excellent example of what rock and roll could be if people wanted to work at it-literate, classy, intelligent and moving. Some boogie, to be sure, and a lot of think stuff. The strongest point of all this is the way it all fits together so nicely. The lyrics, often rather winsome and rpmantic, are custom blended to the music, equally winsome and romantic.

The music can as well take on the qualities of lonely and desolate, jubilant, reflective or lost. It sounds the way the lyrics speak. It's all so well put together, in fact, that it would be almost impossible to isolate a cut for a single. The various songs, taken alone, would be needlessly complicated and often incomprehensible. It's that well put together.

There's really not much you can find to complain about with McKendree: The musicianship is excellent, the material as good and carefully put together, as almost anything available, the overall sound' better than almost anything available. Five years is long enough for, a group like McKendree Spring to wait for the public to discover them. The time is now. A single listen, two at the most, to "Spring Suite" will-tell you why.
