Ben Eskenazi started off the evening of magic with a great card prediction effect. He was not only able to show that the card dealt to by the spectator was the same as he predicted, but that in fact the rest of the deck was blank. Ben is really coming along with his magic.
Chuck Kleiner continued the magical evening with a funny routine involving holding a carton of broken eggs over the spectator’s head, that magically turned into Hershey’s Kisses. This group thought this was a great trick, especially since we all got to eat the chocolate!
Jeff Dial presented a very nice ring on rope routine using a normal rope with many magical links and unlinks. He continued the ring / rope theme by vanishing a spectator’s ring and have it appear on the chain around his neck.
Mark Paulson performed his baffling mind reading magic under test conditions, where he was able to divine a card that was simply thought of. This is a strong effect that Mark has perfected.
J.R. Russell performed Joshua Jay’s Inferno which got a very good reaction from the club. It is certainly good magic packed into a small space.
Michael Jacobs presented the world’s fairest card trick! He had the spectator cut a deck into three piles and he was able to match all three cards using a different deck he cut and dealt.
Roger Sylwester performed a nice card through handkerchief / card transformation using a lovely new Burberry handkerchief that he had just received as a gift. Roger has such a great gift for story telling the magic is always an “extra” gift!
Danny Dragon told the story of Bruno, his scam artists of a cousin. Lucky for Danny he knows a bit of magic and was able to not only get back his money from his cousin, but to outwit him in a game of chance that couldn’t be won.
Larry Dimmitt continues to amaze with his mental ability. He was able to divine who would get the most correct guesses of heads or tails in a group of three spectators, with each one spinning a coin on the table.
Bill Murray presented a very nice color changing deck routine that looked quite magical. Bill is always working on presenting unique stories to go with his magic.
