AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY' , "I was 23 and a young hippie traveling around the country, and that's how I made money and got around. I did street shows, and from that I ran into little festivals and fairs. On the way down the coast of California, I heard about Renaissance festivals." After performing in Los Ange- les and San Francisco, he moved on to similar events in Minneso- ta, Illinois and Texas. "What intrigues me about magic is the challenge I can offer to people's minds," said Mr. Kauf- man, who was raised in New York and moved with his family to California, where he studied graphic arts. "Magic is like a mind exercise, a stretch. The more people do to open up their minds, the more they can see that the boundaries and the pictures are bigger." The writer of his own materi- al, Magical Mystical Michael looks for humorous ways to car- ry out his illusions. His inter- pretation of each effect reflects his personality. "There's almost total artistic freedom at the festival," corn- mented Mr. Ross, an aspiring film writer. "You never know what you're going to see, and there's so much there. RICHARD FAHNESTOCK "It's also nice being surround- ed by people who have an amaz- ing amount in common. I'm always meeting someone else that has the same kind of mind- set." Enjoying theater since he was a very young child, Mr. Ross started writing in high school. He moved on to study films and pur- sued performing arts instruction during summer programs pre- sented by the Actors Alliance and the University of Michigan mu- sical theater faculty working out of Interlochen. After laboring during week- days as a house painter, Mr. Ross has been attending Renaissance Festival workshops two evenings a week. Because he is still part of the academy, his festival earn- ings will be in the form of tickets to fair activities and coupons for festival foods. "It's fun spending entire week- ends as somebody else," Mr. Ross said. 'The Renaissance Festival is a great place for that." ❑ 01,4a!t0 Chamber Group Plans Season The Lyric Chamber Ensemble se- ries at the brand new 800-seat Southfield Centre for the Arts will open Feb. 26, 1995, with spe- cial guests the Moscow String Quartet.
