PUBLISHER'S CORNER REVOKE AN AWARD NO LONGER DESERVED Last week I commented on self-described female impersonator Elaine Lancaster’s enthusiastic and vocal support of President Donald Trump and her whining about the fact that the LGBTQ community does not like her. The response from our LGBTQ community to my comments was swift and much louder than Lancaster’s Trump support. The overwhelming majority of our community expressed its disgust towards Lancaster’s support of a president who openly discriminates against LGBTQ citizens, and who banned brave transgender Americans from serving in the military via Twitter. This is also the same Donald Trump who lied to the LGBTQ community during the campaign and falsely claimed that he would be so much better for our community than Hillary Clinton. If Lancaster’s blind support for Trump wasn’t enough, when Wire Magazine called her out on Twitter about it, she promptly blocked us. Instead of refuting my points about her support for Trump and using the opportunity to denounce Trump for his unmissable discrimination against the LGBTQ community – like Trump supporter Caitlyn Jenner did – Lancaster chose to side with Trump and double down against the LGBTQ community. Lancaster is clearly glad to be onboard the Trump bandwagon and has no problem turning her back against us. Harvey Milk would be disgusted by the fact that Lancaster states on her Twitter that she is a Harvey Milk Honoree! I call upon Stuart Milk, president of the national Harvey Milk Foundation and nephew of the slain San Francisco LGBTQ rights leader, to revoke such honor from someone who vocally supports LGBTQ discrimination by the president. Moving on to this week’s issue, one sure sign of the season is trendy and handsome swimwear. Let's face it, gear for the beach has come a long way and is today a whole field of design in itself. Entering the scene these days is CA-RIOCA. Direct from Brazil, this swimwear effectively captures the vibrant beauty, color and sex appeal of that gorgeous nation. This is swimwear that gives you the style of a Rio de Janeiro native, like a Carioca from Ipanema beach. We hope you enjoy acquainting yourself with this stylish new line that is sure to brighten up your on-the-waterfront attire.

Great performances also define the month ahead as we edge closer to our vaunted "season." Get ready to have your mind hacked when Alan Chamo, the "M1ND H4CK3R (Mind Hacker)" takes to the stage of the Colony Theatre, August 11-27. Chamo is world-renowned for hacking his audiences’ minds with unique psychological illusions. As Alan describes his uncommon act, "I 'hack' into people’s minds and anticipate what they are going to say or choose. I create the illusion of reading minds or controlling the outcome of completely random things. If you would use "M1ND H4CK3R" 10 years ago, no one would have known what you are talking about. I think that today, most people get it." After reading Wire Magazine's interview with Alan this week, we think you will definitely want to experience "M1ND H4CK3R" for yourself! A very different type of entertainment awaits enthusiasts at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, August 5-6, for the Monster Jam Triple Threat Series East. This competition takes the skills of Monster Jam drivers to a whole new level of athletic endurance with the survival of the fittest. This series can only be seen in select cities across the country and features the most versatile athletes of Monster Jam. In advance of the big show, I sat down with driver Kayla Blood to discuss her career, her thoughts on the big competition, and how it feels to drive "El Toro Loco" and take on the boys head-on.

FLIX By Alyn Darnay

AN EXPLOSIVE GOOD TIME harlize Theron is amazing, not only for her unquestionable beauty, or her unquestionable abilities as an actress, but also for her choice of material and her willingness and confidence to let it all hang out on the screen. Now on the heels of her scene-stealing action performance in Mad Max: Fury Road, comes Atomic Blonde to firmly plant her feet in the legacy of a true action hero. With the ferocity of a jungle cat, Theron jumps into dozens of dazzling fight sequences so staggering in their execution that you forget she's wearing designer clothes with spiked heels; and that brothers and sisters is something else again. Here's the storyline:

DIRECTED BY: CAST: DAVID LEITCH CHARLIZE THERON Based on: The Coldest City by Antony Johnston & Sam Hart

JAMES MCAVOY EDDIE MARSAN JOHN GOODMAN TOBY JONES JAMES FAULKNER ROLAND MØLLER SOFIA BOUTELLA BILL SKARSGÅRD SAM HARGRAVE

The year is 1989, the Berlin Wall is about to fall, and MI6 Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is dispatched there, tasked with recovering a secret list that could change the balance of power in the "Cold War." Her contact in Berlin is Station Chief David Percival (McAvoy), an eccentric character with a murky agenda with whom she's forced to form an uneasy alliance. Amid the city's New Wave music, sexy neon lighting and fervent partying, it soon becomes obvious that to accomplish her 'impossible mission' and stay alive, she'll have to use all her extensive talents: spy craft, sensuality, and mostly necessarily, savagery. At its core, Atomic Blonde is a complicated story of hidden agendas and rapid-fire action that lead to a stirring conclusion.

Theron seamlessly plays the cool blonde throughout all the action sequences and hyper-real fight choreography, never leaving the character for a moment, and achieves a sort of Zen like action legacy that I hope she revisits. She even gets into some hot and heavy LGBTQ action that feels sensual and loving without ever being exploitative. McAvoy, to his credit, plays his role perfectly as well, creating the East Berlin swagger and attitude of the times and milking it into an "is he good" or "is he bad" game of espionage. John Goodman shows up as a CIA boss, looking thinner than ever, but the role was so small and simple it could have been played by any actor. Performances overall were good, but the actors always played second fiddle to the action, which always looked and felt real. The big, not to be missed action sequence, occurs toward the end of the film. It runs a full 10 minutes and you'll never forget it. I don't want to give it away, but it's a true film achievement, an analog laden technique, that makes you believe the action is actually happening and not done with any CGI or camera tricks. My hat's off to director David Leitch for creating this. So my take… the film is very violent, not the strongest storyline in the world, but highly enjoyable, especially for lovers of this type of film.

Atomic Blonde Rating: 4-1/2 Stars (out of 5) Rated: R

(for sequences of strong violence, language throughout, and some sexuality/nudity)

Running Time: 115 minutes

The Monster Jam Triple Threat Series East takes the skills of Monster Jam competitors to a whole new level of athletic endurance with the survival of the fittest. This series can only be seen in select cities across the country and features the most versatile athletes of Monster Jam. Fans of all ages will enjoy witnessing each competitor drive three customized high-powered vehicles: Monster Jam speedsters, Monster Jam ATVs and the famous Monster Jam trucks to face off in battles of strength, ability and perseverance for the ultimate championship and a highly coveted bid at Monster Jam World Finals. These premier athletes vying to be the Miami champion are: Grave Digger driven by Tyler Menninga, Max-D driven by Colton Eichelberger, Zombie driven by Bari Musawwir, Scooby-Doo driven by Myranda Cozad, El Toro Loco driven by Kayla Blood, EarthShaker driven by Tristan England, Blue Thunder driven by Matt Cody, and Monster Mutt Rottweiler driven by JR Seasock.

Rafa Carvajal: Tell our readers about the upcoming Monster Jam, the world's premier monster truck series. Kayla Blood: The Monster Jam Triple Threat Series is taking over with eight of the best athletes going head to head as we compete driving the Monster Jam trucks, speedsters, and ATVs. There are seven different competitions using the three types of vehicles and a chance to earn points in each.

A few years ago, I started racing with ATV Motocross and, with some success in the sport, I was afforded other opportunities that would ultimately secure my seat piloting Monster Jams' crazy bull, EI Toro Loco. RC: Tell us about your experience being an MMA fighter and how it has helped you as a Monster Jam truck driver. KB: Being an MMA fighter has helped me in several ways. Going into the cage scared is not an option. You need to be confident and believe in yourself no matter what, just like when it's time to climb into these Monster Jam trucks. You must be fearless when it comes to competing with men and handling 1,500 horsepower. I feel that everything I have done in my life, not only MMA, has prepared me to be a Monster Jam truck driver/athlete. RC: What is it like driving a monster truck and why do it? KB: I always say driving a Monster Jam truck is comparable to a roller coaster, only you're in control of how fast or slow you want to go, as well as how high you want to go. It is always so much fun! I love being able to get out there and be a role model for the little girls and show them what women are capable of!

RC: What do fans love the most about Monster Jam competitions? KB: Fans not only love the roar of the Monster Jam trucks but they also love the interaction that we have with them. Whether it is our interaction with them at the Pit Party right before the show, or the interaction we make with them while competing, they both keep fans coming back. RC: Tell us something your fans don't know. KB: Most fans don't know that I am a hairdresser on the side. It always catches them off guard. RC: Tell us about your background and the challenges you faced along the way to becoming a professional driver. KB: Growing up, I was also a runner, I've ran since I was in the elementary school and

never thought of competing at a collegiate level, but with lots of dedication, hard work, breaking and setting state records, I earned myself a track scholarship. After college, I joined the Louisiana National Guard for six years. In that time, I became interested in MMA and fought to a 2-0 record before setting that aside to compete in ATV Motocross. I've always tried to make the best of what I had at the time. Nothing has ever been handed to me and I've worked hard for everything I have. RC: Describe Monster Jam in three words.

GET READY TO HAVE YOUR

outh Florida is getting ready to have its collective mind hacked, when Alan Chamo, the "M1ND H4CK3R (Mind Hacker)" takes to the stage of the Colony Theatre. Chamo is world-renowned for hacking his audiences' minds with unique psychological illusions. Born in Argentina and raised in Israel, Chamo now calls South Beach home and performs mind-bending feats in both English and Spanish. The highly interactive and exclusive experience that has intrigued audiences around the world now comes to Miami Beach with 150 stage-only seats per showing. The audience will enjoy a "backstage" experience as they engage with Chamo. Those looking to expand their perception of reality are guaranteed to leave scratching their heads in amazement.

I caught up with Alan to discuss mind hacking and just what audiences should anticipate in this spectacular show.

I create the illusion of reading minds or controlling the outcome of completely random things. If you would use "M1ND H4CK3R" 10 years ago, no one would have known what you are talking about. I think that today, most people get it.

Michael W. Sasser: Please define for our readers a 'mentalist'? Alan Chamo: In the "magic world," I specialize in mentalism. This means I use psychological suggestions, nonverbal communication (body language) cues and stagecraft to anticipate audience members' behaviors and patterns to create an illusion in people's minds. Using the five senses, I create the "sixth sense." Like a doctor that specializes in the heart is called a cardiologist; a magician that works "mind magic" is a mentalist.

MWS: What do you hope people leave the show feeling or thinking about what they have experienced? AC: I'm an entertainer, so the most important part for me is to give my audience a fun and amazing experience. An experience that will take their minds off the day-to-day and create an intimate "wow" moment. My show is also very inspiring, especially for young people that are still exploring the power of their minds. As the M1ND H4CK3R, I try to empower the audience. There is so much more in our heads that is not being explored. Sometimes, it's because we don't know how, don't really think it's possible or we are just being lazy to use it. I want to create a conversation with my performances and make people feel they were an important part of the show.

MWS: What was your first inspiration to pursue mentalism? AC: I became fascinated with magic at a very young age. After a few years of practice, I noticed that people were more impressed when "magic" was personalized to them in their minds and not in a shiny box. I liked the idea that the "magic" is in me, and the person in front of me. It's not so much in the prop. For many performers, having an outcome that is very much dependent on the audience is very scary but for me, it's thrilling.

PHOTO BY ALEX VAINSTEIN. PROVIDED BY JWI PR

MWS: When did you decide to pursue this as a career, and why? AC: I actually never decided to pursue this as a career. I started performing in Israel when I was 12-years-old for children birthday parties; not for money, but for the fun. It was my hobby and passion. I became very popular booking shows every weekend. Since then, people continued booking me and, before I realized it, it was my career. Needless to say, it is still my passion and I love every minute I'm on stage. MWS: What kind of training is required for what you do? How did you start? AC: In the "magic world," you do have to learn the basic rules and concept of "regular magic," this would be your "bachelor's degree." With this, I know how to handle cards, coins and other more classic props. Back when I started, the only options to learn were from other colleagues, professional seminars and lots of books. I also studied hypnosis, something I added into my show in a very subtle way. No, you won't quack like a chicken or do any ridiculous stuff in my show; it's not that kind of a show. I think the most difficult thing in what I do is that, in order to practice, you have to do it with people. Role-play or standing in front of a mirror is not enough. Nowadays, I get my knowledge from seminars and in most cases create the routines myself.

MWS: What would surprise people to know about the M1ND H4CK3R? AC: Many are surprised to find that I was the very first magician in the Israeli Army. I served my three years putting together and performing shows for troops around the country. I am also very down to earth and consider myself a "normal guy." I don't believe in supernatural powers, but rather heightened intuition. It's very hard for me to be 100% happy with my show; because of this, I'm always studying and changing parts here and there. Even a minimal change like a line or a word can make a huge impact in the show. MWS: Is there anything else you would like to share with Wire Magazine readers? AC: If you are a person that doesn't like magicians, hypnosis, don't believe in any of it or are afraid of it, I urge you to come. I guarantee my show is not what you expect. For the past 12 years, I've performed on cruises and corporate events and after every show people come up to me and say: "I originally didn't want to come but my husband dragged me here, I'm so happy he did. I never liked this kind of stuff, but it was not at all what I was expecting. It was an amazing mind boggling experience." M1ND H4CK3R has tons of comedy, music projections and amazing lighting. It is a unique concept where all the audience is seated with me on stage! We took the theater and turned it upside down, so I will be performing at the edge of the stage with empty theater seats behind me while the audience sits backstage and up close to the action. Keep up the good thoughts and come to the Colony Theatre on Miami Beach, August 11-27. Tickets are available at mindhackershow.com.

"FOR MANY PERFORMERS, HAVING AN OUTCOME THAT IS VERY MUCH DEPENDENT ON THE AUDIENCE IS VERY SCARY BUT FOR ME, IT'S THRILLING." - ALAN CHAMO

MWS: Describe the term M1ND H4CK3R for our readers. AC: M1ND H4CK3R, besides being my "catchy slogan," is a description of what one can expect to experience. I "hack" into people's minds and anticipate what they are going to say or choose.
