Tuesday Night Magic Session

We talked about the pass. The Classic Pass, The Fan Pass, The Bluff Pass, The Jiggle and Dribble Passes. We explored the notion that the pass is a rite of passage in the journey of a card man.

Earlier in the afternoon Jose had been over for a private lesson. He wanted to learn the pass. It was a strong lesson that focused on proper finger positioning and getting the fundamentals right. I shared with him some of Homer Liwag's thinking on the subject. Subtleties and nuances that can make a difference. I told him that I've never been a classic pass guy and That I favored Paul LePauls Spread Pass. We covered that a bit. The extended discussion at the session was productive. Chad did his version, Pete busted out the bluff pass and fooled Jose and Randy. . . nice! Then we talked about alternatives, side steals, cuts and other such nonsense.


Nash Fung

I give the Trick of the Night Award to Nash Fung who among many other things performed "Sinful" a very clever signed coin in sealed pop can. Very Cool, Very Strong. Nice work Nash. Core members Steve Ameden and Tim Flynn were there as well as a few others.


Pete demonstrates card splitting.

Pete brought a voodoo piece as well as a mental piece.


Pete Burrows

Philemon has been joining us for the last 3 weeks and is a wonderful addition to the group. It's so nice seeing him again. When the shop was in business he was my right hand man, always there for me. We talked a bit about Hot & Cold reading, and Philemon gave us a lesson in Equivique. Excited to try out the new information.
