We will be meeting this Friday, January 20, 2012. Bring a trick to share.

Our assembly had a very small, intimate group in December.  After a short meeting, Mike performed Sugar Rush (Search YouTube for “Sugar Rush”). Adam performed Daniel Garcia’s iCard. Larry added that the principle behind iCard comes from a Harry Anderson trick. The last 90 minutes was spent in interesting conversation and well-wishing.

We will be meeting Friday, December 16, 2011. The theme for the month is “Anything Goes!” Hey, we wouldn’t want to restrict your creativity. See you tomorrow!

We will be meeting this Friday, November 18, 2011. The theme will be inspiration. Perform a trick you were inspired to invent/learn, or say a few words about someone in magic who inspires you. We will also wrap up important club business lingering from the spring.

Welcome back from our summer hiatus. We will have our first meeting of the “season” at 7:30 p.m. on September 16th at Eagle Magic. Elections, postponed from May because of RVP Sikora’s visit, will be the main order of business. If you don’t show you may have an office.

Our May meeting will take place on the 27th as previously announced. We will have a free lecture by Jeff Sikora, our regional vice president, involving teaching new tricks to old dogs. Our friends from Assembly 205 in Rochester will be joining us. At some point we need to have an election of officers, but I don’t know when. See you at Eagle Magic promptly at 7:30 p.m.

Our April meeting will be held on the 15th at Eagle Magic & Joke. The theme is magic with a story. Please come prepared to perform and share food & beverage.

Our March meeting will take place on the 18th at Eagle Magic & Joke. The theme will be classics of magic (and the bra trick and the ding dong are not considered classics). Everyone should come prepared to perform as well as bringing something to eat or drink. See you on the 18th at 7:30.
