Michael Jacobs performed a very nicestraw penetration, a great impromptu effect. Michael also presented a great prediction effect in which a random dice role turned out to be an indicator of where a predicted card was located.

Fred Turner presented a very visual card transformation in which fire was held over an indifferent card and it visually melted into the spectator’s selected card.

Bill Murray did a multiple card revelation effect revolving around a very detailed story line he has been working up for a while. Bill incorporated some ideas the group talked about from a previous meeting.

Chuck Kleiner did a very nice “zombie spoon” routine for the dinner magic theme. The effect was very visual and would be a great impromptu effect for around the table.

Larry Dimmit performed another great mentalist routine involving remote viewing in which he was able to tell what type of scene a spectator was visualizing.

John Cameron performed a very nice prediction routine involving a very special deck of cards with various wines printed on them. After a mixing up the deck the spectator selected card was found to match the actual bottle of wine that John had with him.

George Zuk did a nice quick effect using three packets of sugar with different food items written on them. George was able to divine which packet had been selected after a spectator had mixed them up.

Mark Paulson performed a very nice mind reading effect in which he had a person choose a card and turn it face down in the deck and place the deck back in the box. Without pening the box, Mark was able to tell what card had been selected.

J.R. Russell led the group in a mind mapping exercise; everyone brainstormed various magical ideas for “dinner magic.” The group came up with various types of dinner magic as well as specific effects for each grouping. The club plans to continue to expand on the
ideas presented.
