Meeting Schedule updated


July 8th

Money Themed

Randy Kalin opens the after meeting money themed show demonstrating the importance of always being able to perform magic with common items like coins that even the youngest of spectators will identify with.

Visitor Columbus penetrates a dollar bill with a pen and then restores it whole without a hole.

Harry Monti Cashes in, spinning a comical tale of lending and collecting money.

Michael Long utilizes our imagination while we watch AJ select one of three invisible coins and then successfully reveals his prediction to be correct.

            

Matt Olsen causes coins to move invisibly from one hand to the next.

Ray Belz can catch coins utilizing his wand and tell which of four coins were removed or added by any spectator. (George VanDyke shown here)

 

Those who attended were richly rewarded with a wide variety of ways to entertain with money.

June 24th

Math Magic

Harry Monti started the math magic night with a few simple questions to Dan Todd, used those numbers for addition then Al Stanger looked up the resulting numbers as page and row in a phone book who's resulting name and number matched Harry's prediction held the whole time by Sandy Weis.

Then Harry used randomly selected numbers from three individuals and utilizing Geometry, Trigonometry and magic to show that there is harmony in the universe. Is this the Universal Theory that eluded Einstein?

 

Randy Kalin gave a lecture on Math Magic that included cards, coins and even a clock.

No sour grapes here, everything was applicable for impromptu magic or even over great distances.

 

We had the privilege to meet Al Stanger, a mathematician of the third order. Al had developed lots of things including a unique system to easily determine the day of the week for any given date in the past or future. None of the audience could stump Al and I would bet that no one else could either.

      June 24,2010 was a Thursday by the way...


 

June 14th

David Williamson Lecture

David Williamson was on his mark Monday Don't try this at home, David is a professional
Magic is the salt of the earth and seeing David is believing
Lots of comedy, great tips and for the third cup, he used a porcelain one

  After the lecture and the DVDs where purchased, everywhere you looked groups of magicians were having fun sharing stories and magic.

  This was a great night in St. Louis.


See you at the next meeting.

 Dan Todd, Board Member Assembly 8
