Mike Jacobs presented a very nice version of color changing deck that started with a spectator choosing a card that was the same as a prediction card of a different color. The ending was very clean and there were quite a few magic moments in the routine.
It was member John Cameron’s birthday this evening and Mark Paulson presented a cute quick trick where John picked his “favorite card”. Mark knew it was his favorite one because it had “Happy Birthday John” written on the face.
Ralph Huntzinger could not tell a lie when he presented his card trick that revolved around a more specific revelation each time he got closer and closer to a chosen card. The chosen card turned out to have “your card” written on it. The routine got a lot of good laughs.
George Zuk presented a quick matrix effect with three coins and two cards by Mark Mason. The method was very interesting and the effect magical.
John Cameron presented a very nice location and mind reading effect where he placed a spectator’s dollar in a box and then placed the box inside a bag. The bag was mixed and with the help of a spectator the boxes were eliminated with the dollar inside the final box. John finished the routine with the revelation of the serial number on the dollar.
J.R. Russell brought the birthday boy up for a special royalty test based on the story of the princess and the pea that involved numerous sight gags as well as a particularly good card revelation as the ending.
Chuck Kleiner presented a trick for John as one of his kids show characters Clem. It was a very funny character and the entire club got a good taste of Chuck’s acting ability.
Larry Dimmitt continued to prove his psychic ability when he was able to reveal not only a lottery number but a chosen number by a spectator. The hit of the trick though may have been the talking calculator Larry used.
Reymarx Gereda presented another great card at a number effect where one spectator’s card was found at the location of the other spectator’s chosen number.
Jim Earnshaw presented Troy Hooser’s “Charming Chinese Challenge” as well as a Jay Sankey coin effect called Mass Consumption.
