Wanna Trade?
Clean out your magic closets and dust off your magic bookshelves.  The theme for the November meeting is Swap Night.  Bring a no-longer-wanted item to the meeting and either sell it outright or swap it for someone else’s item.  It could be a trick, a book, a video, a DVD, anything magical that you no longer need that you think another member might find useful.  Join the officers for dinner at 6 PM.  The meeting, and the trading
begins at 7:30PM.

Adjourned: 7:52 PM After a brief break, the group settled for a great close-up lecture by the man, the myth, the legend--Dave Cresey.  Dave shared with us some of his close-up feats, including a copper/silver/brass transposition routine, a "throw change" by which a card is shown face-up in the hand, thrown face-down onto a table whereupon it is later shown to have changed, and a wonderful effect called "Card In Bag."  A card, selected by a spectator, is torn in pieces along with several other cards.  The pieces are put in a paper bag and shaken.  Dave sticks his hand in the bag and one-by-one retrieves the pieces of the selected card.  The scandalously simple solution to this effect alone is worth the price of admission! |
