January Meeting:
Magic from Tarbell

It has been said that all the “new” magic coming out today is really just re-imagined tricks from the Tarbell Course of Magic.  VP Dan Sclare hosts an evening in which all the magic is from the pages of this eight-volume masterpiece.  Do you have a favorite?  Bring it and show us!  Join us January 11 for a re-union with the past, starting at 7:30 PM, preceded by dinner at 6:00 PM.
