Impromptu Lecture

After a brief meeting we were treated to a very good lecture about planning for..... IMPROMPTU magic! Having said that... |
| Impromptu magic - extemporaneous;
unrehearsed, as in extemporaneous performance.
Randy covered how a performance is perceived by an audience for the first time and that we must be there with them in that moment of amazement. Seemingly accidental happenings take are carefully planned and orchestrated to appear spontaneous. |

Randy did not deny us of some examples that fit the impromptu nature such as a good means to use you business cards as a card locator and an easy but deceptive card force method. |
| Everyone got a kick out of the gimmick
he used for animating the knotted napkin. It moved in a very agile way
slithering between his fingers and more. You just had to be there and see it for yourself. Join us on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month and experience the fun first hand. |
