February Meeting:
Ropes and Strings at Ring's

magic and everyone is asked to bring a trick to teach.
Minutes of Jan. Meeting
10 January 2005 7:50 PM
We had an informal meeting at the home of president Dan Sclare.
The minutes were accepted after one correction: it’s "Disappearing Soap," not soup.
Treasurer’s report: We have a reported balance.
Dana Ring shared the report of the November National Council meeting.
G&W: Dan shared a thank-you card from Jerry Viglione.
Bill Smyth has volunteered to help find a meeting place for us.
Dan passed around SAM206’s Assembly Program Study Guide that he got off the Web.
VP Ron Strong noted that the International Deaf Magicians will be holding a convention in Hartford this
spring. He will be talking with their president to see if we can help them in any way.
Dan showed us a videotape he had compiled of magicians on TV over the years. It included Doug Henning,
Joseph, Tompsoni and Harry Anderson, as well as a local news story on the old Round Robin magic club
featuring Dr. Bulalong, Gary Dziatko and Bill Smyth, with Bill Greenough, Ben Cohen and Bassett
Mordecai. He also showed us a video on Fire-Eating that convinced him to postpone his own fire-eating
career indefinitely.
