# Fort Stevens (New York)

Fort Stevens was a fort on Hallett's Point, Queens, along the East River, constructed in 1814. The fort included a blockhouse on Mill Rock in the River at Hell Gate. Plans from February 1776 showed earlier forts on both sides of the East River including opposite Fort Stevens at Horn's Hook Battery.

## History

Prior to the construction of the fort the location was used by the British during the American Revolution as a battery to bombard New York City after the battle of long island. The fort itself was named after Ebenezer Stevens, its only commander. Stevens, a revolutionary general in service to George Washington came out of retirement during the War of 1812 with the fort being built during the war to protect the east river from a prospective British invasion. The fort's cornerstone was laid by then mayor De Witt Clinton and the fort was designed to be temporary and consisted of 12 guns.
Unlike other temporary forts from the time which where made of timber Fort Stevens was made of stone, however, due to the fort's low lying location right on the water of the East River, its practical defense capabilities were low as the fort was designed to thwart one-off raiders. Behind the fort, on the hill overlooking it, was another defensive structure, Castle Bogardus or "Halletts Point Tower", which would've protected the fort from a ground assault.
The fort would be decommissioned after the war in 1815 when the British threat passed. By 1836 Hallett’s Cove Village a small settlement of about 20 to 30 dwellings was built around the abandoned fort including an Episcopalian church. This village would eventually develop into the Astoria neighborhood of Queens.
Part of the fort remained in operation as a light house complete with a lighthouse keeper's residence until 1982 when the last building of the fort had been demolished. Today the site of the fort is home to Whitey Ford Field, a park managed by the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation named after Whitey Ford. A navigational beacon continues to guide ships at the edge of the field.
The former site of the fort, and the current baseball field, is the subject to redevelopment debates, with a 2,400 unit apartment complex being built adjacent to the site, and plans for a ferry service and major refurbishment at the field.

# Forcing (magic)

In stage magic, a force is a method of controlling a choice made by a spectator during a trick. Some forces are performed physically using sleight of hand, such as a trick where a spectator appears to select a random card from a deck but is instead handed a known card by the magician. Other forces use equivocation (or "the magician's choice") to create the illusion of a free decision in a situation where all choices lead to the same outcome.

## Equivocation

Equivocation (or the magician's choice) is a verbal technique by which a magician gives an audience member an apparently free choice but frames the next stage of the trick in such a way that each choice has the same end result.
An example of equivocation can be as follows: A performer deals two cards on a table and asks a spectator to select one. If the spectator chooses the card on the left, the performer will hand the card to the spectator. If they pick the card on the right, the performer will take that card as his own and have the other card be the spectator's. In either case, the spectator receives the intended card.

## Effectiveness

The effectiveness of equivocation involves the "information gap" between what the spectator knows and what the spectator thinks he knows. In the magician's force, the spectator does not know anything about what will happen to the two cards he initially selects. However, the spectator thinks that he is making a free choice in an otherwise scripted sequence of moves.
Equivocation tends to lose its effectiveness if repeated in the same context, since the spectator gains more information from one performance to the next, thereby shrinking the information gap. For example, a spectator may wonder why his choice was kept in some cases and discarded in others.
# Gamma Phi Society

Gamma Phi Society was a college literary society founded prior to 1833 at the Hamilton Literary & Theological Institution (now Colgate University) in Hamilton, New York. Gamma Phi Society was the predecessor of the national Delphic Fraternity and the Beta Theta chapter of Beta Theta Pi at Colgate University.

## History

Gamma Phi Society was established sometime before 1833 at the Hamilton Literary & Theological Institution (now Colgate University) in Hamilton, New York as a literary society for students. Its actual founding date is unknown. Gamma Phi was one of the first student societies at the college and marked the start of Greek life on campus. It was joined by the Pi Delta literary society around 1834.
In 1840, the faculty intervened to dissolve Gamma Phi and Pi Delta due to the active competition for membership between the two literary societies. Gamma Phi's members merged into the Adelphian Society, a new campus literary society, in 1840.
Some members of the society transferred to the University of Rochester where they established the Delphic Society in 1850. William James Milne, a member of the Delphic Society, established a second Delphic Society at Geneseo Normal School (now State University of New York at Geneseo) in October 1871. The Geneseo society formed the statewide, and later national, Delphic Fraternity or Gamma Sigma Tau in 1871.
In 1880, the Adelphian Society became the Beta Theta chapter of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
