Poof! Now it's Friday

Tuesday night's session was fun. Wil Bryan performed a bizarre impromptu Ouija board routine as well as a card effect. Brian Masters and Chad were there as comic relief. Brian brought his friend Becky who is a beginner with aspirations to do some street performing. Ryan was there with some rubber-bands that he had permanently linked and gave out a bunch for us to keep. Neil from Scotland showed us some of the gambling stuff he's been working on. Professor Gizmo showed up with vanilla cream soda and Cracker Jacks. He did his 3 shell game for us again. He also brought over his guitar and gave Buster a lesson. Steve Ameden taught a nice Harry Lorayne trick. We missed Tim Flynn & Mark Jenson and hope to see them next week. As a topic for discussion, I brought up "Presentation". We did kind of a round robin going around the table, each trying to briefly describe our performing persona and presentation style. We scratched the surface on this topic. I would like to continue this discussion each week and combine it with the technical routines that we learn. Turning mere tricks into pieces we "perform" . . . now that's magic!
