Attendance: Jim Earnshaw, Christopher Hendrix, Brian Cook, Larry Dimmitt, Dan Kennedy, Rick Swaney, Santiago Naranjo
This month’s meeting was a small gathering, however there was still a lot of good magic as well as the election of officers. Jim Earnshaw will be continuing as the Secretary of the club, while the President and Vice President positions remain to be filled. The group decided to continue with elections the next meeting.
Christopher Hendrix presented two very nice gambling themed card presentations. Some of the sleights required were quite difficult, however his obvious practice was on display and the tricks were presented well.
Rick Swaney brought out a set of McAbee rings he had purchase back in the 70’s and performed a lovely close up routine with them. The rings were examinable at the end, and the method flew right by the group. Rick also presented a nice oil and water routine using black and white cards instead of normal playing cards.
Larry Dimmitt showed the group a quick little piece of magic where you could predict a number that a person would stop on between one and five. This was a nice impromptu trick that was easy to setup.
Jim Earnshaw performed his presentation of David Regal’s Red Streamlined Corvette that was a tribute to Star Trek. Jim also showed off his coin magic skills with a couple of different coin tricks.The group welcomed newcomer Santiago Naranjo to the meeting. We hope to see more of him at future meetings.
