June was rubber band magic, however there were quite a few great tricks performed as well that didn’t involve rubber bands.

J.R. Russell started out the evening performing a recently published trick where you use tin foil to create an impression of a coin and then after removing the coin, another coin appears inside. J.R. used gold foil of gum and presented it as a nice impromptu piece.

Jim Earnshaw performed a three coin production / vanish / production by Eric Mead.

Roger Sylwester performed a great vanishing bird cage bit that was very smooth. Roger also showed the group a beautiful troublewit he had made and a very funny routine using it.

Bill Murray preformed a nice cut to aces routine that got the group discussing various ace productions and false shuffles.

Hugh Castell performed a very funny set of rubber band magic that included a signed sticker stuck to the band that jumps from band to band.

Larry Dimmitt continued his great mentalism and borrowed a dollar from an audience member and had him fold it and place it into an envelope. Larry was able to divine the serial number of the dollar.

Mark Paulson preformed a nice card revelation where two rubber bands knew the card chosen was going to be the two of hearts and the bands ended up linking as hearts at the end of the routine. Mark also performed a nice silent / music routine where cards were eliminated by spectators only to have the last card left match the predicted card.

Ralph Huntzinger performed a nice four silver dollars through the hand routine framed around a teaching lecture on how to routine tricks. Ralph presented some good information for everyone.
