Expert Author: Tauqeer Hassan Mickey Mouse is a famous cartoon character of a talking mouse. It is owned by The Walt Disney Company and has a very strong franchise for the company, its theme parks and other merchandise opportunities. Mickey Mouse is very unique among cartoon characters, it has large and round black ears, a pointed nose and wears red shorts with white buttons and yellow boots. The outline of Mickey's ears and nose are basically the logo of Walt Disney. Expert Author: Michael D. Mentalism is a type of magic. Mentalism is highly associated with psychology. The concept is to see things that are "invisible" to normal people and make them believe that you can read their thoughts. This article gives some tips how to get started with mentalism. Expert Author: Michael D. I'm sure you have seen many magicians performing different tricks in front of public. I'm going to list you some tips how to be successful in front of public when doing mentalism tricks. You have probably seen how confident they look and they rarely make any mistakes. Expert Author: Jillian Smith Fear is part of the fundamental core of human existence, as connected to the basic functions of survival and the psyche as the survival instinct or the need to mate. Fear and anxiety, therefore, are among the staples of any genre that deems itself fit to entertain the masses, an art form to be mastered in the hands of a true artiste. Fear, dread, and anxiety are all integral components of any successful horror story, for example, but not everyone who writes horror manages to get the mix of the important elements - pacing, plot, and characterization - all of which must be just right to create a classic that will frighten generations long after the first copy was printed. Expert Author: Jillian Smith I read an amazing article by Grayson Perry entitled "How art appreciates - it's a class act". In a nutshell he reckoned that art finds its true monetary value from what the experts say. But I can see something more from what he says. If a piece of art is to be labeled as having any "value" at all it is what is said about it that establishes it as a work worthy of an individuals attention. Expert Author: Jillian Smith The literary genre known as horror has gone through some changes as of late and, for those among you who cling to the old traditions, these changes do not bode well. However, before going into that topic, it is best to first offer a brief explanation of what the horror genre is about. At the very core, the genre was designed to instill fear into people, by whatever means were thought necessary. Horror masters of the past were generally inspired in their work as they use subtlety and psychology to maximum effect, though more modern horror works (to be referred to as Hollywood Horror from this point on) rely on more overt attempts to scare. Expert Author: Jillian Smith For the typical anime fan, 2006 was a wholly unremarkable, zero-anxiety, and insanity-free year, at least, as far as the anime industry is concerned. However, for the more discerning anime fans (the ones that don't fall head-over-heels for the newest big-action mind-number to get translated), 2006 was a year fraught with controversy over writers stealing the scripts for shows, executives of anime studios pulling crazy stunts, and other similar incidents. Expert Author: Jillian Smith Who wants to be on the Oprah Winfrey Show? Almost everyone. Ambitious authors, business professionals, and charity organizations have aspirations to be on the show that's seen in 111 countries worldwide. But very few of them make it on to the show. And once they do their appearance can either be a bomb or a boon for their business. Expert Author: Jillian Smith They have never been interested in others but for what they can get. The opportunity to study other cultures have presented it self severally but they were not up for it. They have written mind alteration books for their vision. It would have been ideal for them to introduce most of these books into their schools for knowledge, more researches and better appreciation of others. But hell no they were only interested in altering our mind set, artifacts and how much they can make from the unknown world. Expert Author: Jillian Smith I have been turned down several times by some ignorant gallery owners on both sides of the fence for their lack of interest in African Art. In their words African Art is primitive. The sad thing is that our so-called elites gallery owners do not get it too. In most cases they are worst and very ignorant and naïve about African art. How long are we going to allow these false monsters of the past run wild in our present time? Expert Author: Jillian Smith Uli is an expression of the people's capacity for creative design, which is firmly rooted in their myths and their experience of life in the past, present and future. At its best, it is an expression of their synthetic present, the epic of their search for a new order in the contemporary world. It is my traditional art style, which I have fallen in love with all over again and it is a privilege to share uli with you in my works. It has been shown that the knowledge of uli motifs and symbols and their application enables one to identify the traditional Igbo artifacts, giving validity to the people's aesthetic intelligence and judgment. Expert Author: Jillian Smith Perhaps the title would be better as the question I have so often heard: "How can I produce an abstract image?" Within the next few articles I intend to lead you into those dark secret places filled with wonderful tantilizing enigmas, where we will find all the passionate inspiration and the great variety of techniques required for you to be able to produce an astounding work of art worthy of Howard Hodgkin or Mark Rothko (do not worry if you do not know who they are ... you will meet them sometime soon). Expert Author: Jillian Smith Many visitors to Canada will be exposed to Inuit art (Eskimo art) sculptures while touring the country. These are the magnificent hand made sculptures carved from stone by the Inuit artists living in the northern Arctic regions of Canada. While in some of the major Canadian cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City) or other tourist areas popular with international visitors such as Banff, Inuit sculptures will be seen at various retail shops and displayed at some museums. Expert Author: Jillian Smith Former Gaming Hall of Fame inductees include famous Las Vegas entertainers such as Sir Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra, Siegfried and Roy and more and industry developers including William Harrah, William Boyd, Donald Trump and more. Here you can read about some of the most notable Gaming Hall of Fame past inductees. Expert Author: Jillian Smith Bill O'Reilly, host of Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Report, was quoted in Talkers Magazine about how he cracked the bestseller list. "In the beginning, we couldn't get on Good Morning America, or the Today Show or any of that. Elite newspapers wouldn't review the book. We had to rely on talk radio," O'Reily said. "Talk radio has shown a much better return (than our advertising dollars)." Expert Author: Jillian Smith In the comic book industry, it is difficult to find a single character that is as iconic, as well-known, and as popular as Superman. His status has come to the point that DC Comics, the company that publishes his monthly titles, has developed several versions and revisions of his character and his powers over the years. Most of them have followed the same general archetype established by the original Superman, which is that of a lawful and good superhero. However, every so often, there have been darker character versions that, unlike the good version, posed a threat to mankind. Arguably, the most dangerous of these "evil" versions is the one known as Superboy-Prime. Expert Author: Jillian Smith You may be mistaken in thinking that buying a piece of abstract art would be a simple thing to do. You just select the work you want... and buy it! The truth will creep up on you as soon as you look at the first painting "it is not quite the right one, so I will look for another". Here is the first realization - and question to ask yourself - why exactly is this piece you are looking at "not quite right"? Expert Author: Jillian Smith Hideaki Anno's magnum opus of an anime, "Shin Seiki Evangelion" has long been the subject of debate for anime fans. There will always be conflicts on whether the show reinvigorated a stagnating industry or if it was all hype. There will be fans arguing one way or another about the validity of the countless revivals and reinterpretations of the original material, including the latest CG-heavy movie project entitled "The Rebuild of Evangelion." Expert Author: William J. Lund With the winter Olympics currently taking place in Vancouver Canada I though it would be a good time to put together a little Olympic trivia quiz with the answers. So for all of you who feel up to a sports knowledge challenge, try taking this big Olympic Trivia Quiz. Or maybe you can use it for some sort of social activity like for a party or something. Good luck. Expert Author: Anais Bertie Auditions are the best place to start your modeling careers as they had proven to be the stepping stones for many successful models in the past. Aspiring models should constantly fight their way towards success by attending a number of auditions before getting a modeling gig. Modeling industry is one of the most competitive places in the world and you must really work hard to attain glory. Modeling is not merely about glamour; it's a big business where glamour and talents should go hand in hand. Your good looks alone can't make it to the ramp; you must polish your talents as well.
