Attendance: Jim Earnshaw, Roger Sylwester, Larry Dimmitt, Michael Jacobs, Aidan Adams, Mark Paulson, Sam Chamberlain, Rick Swaney, Reymarx Gereda, Louie Foxx
This month’s theme was “Mental Mysteries”. Members were encouraged to perform a mentalism-inspired routines. Regardless of the theme, there was some great magic and fun.
Inspired by the previous month’s performance from Brian Cook, Jim Earnshaw presented a nice Okito Box routine. Jim purchased his box and wand set from Brian’s Magic Crafter business.
Louie Foxx showed the group a real digital fooler where he took a picture of the spectator holding a random card they were unaware of yet were later able to freely pick choose the same card from a mixed deck.
Rick Swaney presented a Bob Farmer effect called Deja Voodoo. Rick has obviously put a lot of work into the trick and the results were very magical.
One of our new members Aidan Adams showed off a very nice multi-phase card to pocket routine that had well timed misdirection and very smooth handling. Aidan will be fun to watch in the future for sure.
Larry Dimmitt involved the entire group when he solicited written words sealed in envelopes to reveal that a prediction he made matched the randomly selected choice.
Michael Jacobs presented a nice card effect where he was able to divine not only the selected card, but also the number of cards left inside of the card box.
Roger Sylwester presented a very nice self-contained routine by Cody Fisher called “Fifty-two Thoughts”. This routine has a lot of funny moments and quite a magical ending.
Mark Paulson used his mind powers to influence multiple spectators to tell him when to stop his ring over a random word in a book. The word matched an earlier prediction he had made.
Reymarx Gereda had the spectator grab a random amount of cards from a deck of cards and was able to divine every card chosen. It was a very nice mentalism piece.
Sam Chamberlain presented a want ad prediction where he was able to divine where a spectator would have him cut though a piece of newspaper. Multiple cuts were made and Sam still was able to predict the correct ending.
Next month’s theme is “Magic with Cups”.
