Minutes of October Meeting

Sec’y’s report: accepted as printed.

A letter from M.I. Maria Ibâńez concerning the National Council meeting (Nov 2-4) was read.

magicians and passed around his findings, which included a packing-crate challenge issued by a Hartford
company.
Dan arranged the purchase of another set of DVD’s from the International Magicians Society.
“The Late Show with David Letterman” has scheduled a comedy magician on October 12.
President Angelo Chirico announced that the Fall Show had to be rescheduled. David Oliver could not do
the 17th date, but could do the following week.

← We all acknowledged the problem caused by the date change, but Angelo was confident that the show will be
successful. [He was right; see following article.]
Dave Garrity is at Fright Fest; discount vouchers are available if you notify him in advance.
Adjourned: 8:40 PM
Aftermeeting: Magic using household items.
Norm St. Laurent took out a box of Tic-Tacs, removed one, and turned the box into a lighter. Then lit the
Tic-Tac, which turned into a quarter.
Dan Sclare had Angelo select a card (cards are a household item to Dan). Angelo had to “transmit” his card
to us. Having trouble, Dan had him use an egg beater as an antenna.
Kevin Aust did an impromptu zombie effect with a knife and fork, then attempted to swallow the knife. He
then vanished some sugar from his hand.
Angelo took some rubber bands, one broken, and borrowed a ring. He got the ring to defy gravity, travelling
up the rubber band.
Dana Ring “magnetized” his finger, enabling him to lift a salt shaker by its top.
John Marenholtz showed a length of string. It grew two extra “ends.”
Walt Umberfield took out a deck, showed two cards and one of them chosen. That one was ripped into four
pieces and put back into the deck. With a thump!, the card was restored.
To finish, Norm had Walt put a saucer atop a cup, then vanished a quantity of salt, which reappeared in the
cup under the saucer.
Second Magic Show Added
Angelo’s Fall Spectacular on Saturday, November 24, sold out as soon as the ad the paper. We are therefore adding a show on Sunday, November 25, at 6PM. Check www.angelosonmain.com for the details.
