Tuesday Night Session

Tuesday nights session was good. The evening started off with just Steve, Buster and me. I made pork chops, mashed potatoes and broccoli. We enjoyed our dinner over some conversation about magic and the South Center Session which I've missed the last few times. Steve filled us in on what we had been missing. Seems like some of the old school, Harry Lorayne stuff he's been practicing was a hit with Mayhew and Carpenter. I didn't have any doubt that it would. They're really some solid routines, entertaining and baffling. Guess, Buster and I will have to start going again. Actually, soon enough, Buster will be heading back to Cincinnati for the summer. I sure will miss him.

Chad showed up with his pal Mark in time to help us finish up the rest of the food. Mark is in to Mentalism and we talked about his views on Luke Jeremy, Darren Brown and Kenton's Wonder words. For a senior in high school (graduating this month), he seems to be well read with a strong point of view. Tim Flynn showed up. We weren't expecting him as he had told us that he was not going to be able to make it. It's a good thing he showed up, miss too many sessions and you loose your core member status. Rebecca was back for more fun. She made the South Center session Saturday night and even did a couple of tricks for the boys. Ryan was back, it's a shame, just as he's plugging into the scene here in Seattle fate has him moving back to Buffalo after a year here in the Pacific Northwest. I'll see Ryan tonight at the Owl n Thistle and we'll get in one last mini session before he heads out of town on Sunday. Wil showed up later in the evening and wowed the gang with a card routine he's been working on.

We had a couple of topics discussion after a round robin or two. We covered single card controls and forces. It's always good to get back to basics. With a new comer like Becca, it's good to give her some fundamental groundwork to start with. She is eager to learn and quick to pick things up.

All in all another good session. We went till about 1:00AM. I crashed after everyone left. Up at 6:00AM. Good thing too, because Buster overslept again!! This is happening too often these days. Must have something to do with it being the end of the school year. Whatever, he's a good kid and pulled off a pretty good trick at the session. "The box trick" a trick I taught him that I've been doing since I was his age.
