Next Event:
May 23rd
- Assembly 8 Goes to the Movies! See you there.
William's Magic Mobile Unit Alert!
Monday (May 27) we will be at the Wal-Mart located at 1202 S.
Kirkwood Road, Kirkwood, which is near exit # 277 off I-44. We'll
be available from about 5:00 to about 8:00 or 9:00 PM (depending upon
how many people show up).
Tuesday (May 28) we will be at the Wal-Mart located at 2897 Veteran's
Memorial Pkwy, St. Charles, which is near exit # 227 off I-70.
We do not put out signs and we do not open to the public. Our stops
are always private events for local club members and magicians so it is
important that everyone knows what to look for. We have photos (inside
and out) and lots of additional information at
www.mobilemagicshop.info.
Thanks again for helping by sending this information out to the local
magicians. We look forward to meeting everyone who is able to make it
out to either location for a visit.
Anyone is welcome to call me with questions. My cell phone is
520-419-9814.
Magically, Emory Williams

Or was this the snack break? |
Andy Leonard was asking for it, when he
pulled Columbus Smith on stage to assist with a card miracle.
The card miracle happened in his second effect though, when the stakes
and cards were bigger! |

Columbus Smith performed the 1, 2, 3,
4, 5,...6 Cards through away 3 - (Rinse and repeat as necessary)...
and topped it with the 3 Card Monti. |
Dan Todd caused a chosen card to appear

tidy-whites! Go NUTS order your very own

Feb 14th - "Favorite Book"
 |
Larry
Minth, pictured here, predicted which of four small balloons (red,
yellow, green, and white) would be freely chosen by simply naming
one. It was the red one which had a trick of its own in tow in that
when punctured with a needle it refused to pop. Just very sort of
fizzed as it got smaller. Larry helped it along with his pocket
knife. |
|
Randy Kalin who performed several card effects from Roberto Giobbi's
"Card College Light." Very good stuff. While the tricks were
mathematical, they didn't look mathematical—a combination of the
tricks themselves and Randy's good presentation. |
 |
 |
Harry
Monti did a color changing silk with the second silk "accidentally"
showing up, then vanishing, then reappearing as the the
color-transformed silk. It was the only silk remaining, the other
having vanished without a trace. Harry did it flawlessly. No
surprise there. |
|
Derrick Daniels performed a four ace location, and demonstrated
several sleights (the kind that require "that touch," careful study
and . . . practice!). His work prompted a discussion about
card technique and misdirection. Most enjoyable. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Don
Becker brought three books. "Stars of Magic" (original series),
"21st Century Card Magic" by James Swain, and "The Card Magic of
LePaul," and pointed out the features that the books shared which
made each one outstanding in its own right. |
Yours in Magic, Don Becker
