Aftermeeting—Theme: Money Magic.
As a preface, Dan demo’d a rough draft of a card box he constructed per MAGIC Magazine instructions that “sings” when you open it. Later, he did the “gozinta” trick—using dental dams. He showed us a box of “Money Magic” that he got from a dollar store in Manchester. Later he used a Coin Wand to produce coins
and did Copentro. He finished by dealing six number cards randomly chosen that matched a Classic Lotto ticket.
Walt Umberfield did a version of Color Monte in which the dollar in his pocket was the “money card.”
Len Lazar pulled multiple coins from a hanky with a giant coin finale. He also did a manipulation saying

Cal Vinick talked of the “March of Dimes.” He borrowed a (marked) dime, which then appeared in —>

When Last We Met
Dan Sclare and his Copentro.

Angelo tossed a handful of change into a Crown Royal bag. One picked at random was guessed, right down
to the date. It used a clever gimmick of glued-together coins.
Kevin Aust changed a dime to a penny in Len’s hand, then penetrated Len’s hand with another penny. He also turned two quarters into a half-dollar.
Frank Lenna penetrated a paper and bill with a plastic ruler—the paper had a hole, the bill did not!
Our guest, Norm, took a $2 bill and “ripped” it into two $1s, then back.
