Valentine’s Day has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many religious of the world. What special effect have you scripted to present the magic of love? Remember, we do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone; rather, we find it with another. Present an effect that brings a strong connection between two people.

May: Magic Levitations
Anything that floats, balances, does somersaults, etc. – Wands, cards, money, silks, balls, etc. Review your arsenal of gimmicks used to float small objects close–up as well as larger objects like bouncing balls, magic tables, dancing canes, etc. Maybe something with Loops, Zombie balls, or a self–levitation. We all have some great props that have been hidden away in our inventories for years. Let’s give them another look.
June: Teach A Trick
Bring us one of your favorite pieces – be creative. Show us your magic. Then teach us the trick so we can do it when you get done. This is not show–n–tell time; it’s show and teach time. Tell us beforehand what objects we need to bring to the table, so we can come ready to learn. For an even better result, we can video these sessions for later viewing.
July &-August: No Scheduled Meetings Unless sent an email
Enjoy your summer vacation. May it be magical.
September: Openers and Closers
In public speaking, you need to get their attention with a strong opening. The middle is important so they don’t fall asleep. But the closing is what they’ll remember long after the meeting. For this month, bring us your favorite opener or closer to perform around the table. This might be a specially stacked deck, a gimmicked deck, coin routine, etc. Whatever
October: Impromptu Magic
This session will be for those sudden demand “Show Me a Trick“ situations, where we use items at hand (rubber bands, paperclips, paper, pencils, napkins, straws, keys, etc. What do you normally carry with you as a go–to effect? Do you carry a wallet with several impromptu effects?. We only know several thousand of these. Now we need to recoup and relearn.
November: For the Psych in Me
Come prepared to mystify us with the best mind–boggling psychic trick you know. If you can fool the group, you’ll get a standing ovation. Wow!!! This is such a broad topic, all you need to do is pick from the 300 psychic routines you’ve done in the past. No excuse to be unprepared for this session.
December: Annual Holiday
Party Details to be announced.
