Hi Everyone!
I due to everyone’s busy schedule including myself we’re taking the summer off.
We’ll start up meetings in September. I’m working on some exciting lectures for the fall. I’ll keep you posted!

Happy Spring Everybody!
I hope everyone’s having a busy and profitable spring season! Can you believe it! We’re having our third lecture of the year! Danny Archers coming to town! Here’s the information:
*4:00 PM Sunday May 16, 2010 Dinner and Meeting (Private Dining Room)
**5:00 PM Lecture
Monona Garden Family Restaurant
6501 Bridge Road, Madison, WI

*Please plan on eating a full dinner entree at the Monona Garden Family Restaurant. This is how we get our room for free. The meals are reasonably priced and very good!
**Please note we’re starting dinner and lecture earlier!
Danny has lectured around the world in over twenty five countries and in forty-four of the US states. His brand new lecture is jam packed with great close-up, and stand-up magic and mentalism. From self-working effects to sleight of hand.
The Lecture:
The Archer
A rubber band shoots two selections from one half of the deck into the other .
Clinker
A new gimmick brings the Miser’s Dream from the stage to close-up magic.
A weigh out Prediction
Predict the weight of six audience members, a cool version of Add-A-No.
Drawn Again
Duplicate a spectator’s drawing using just some business cards and a pen.
Olympic Aces
Four selections appear in four different pockets. Instantly, they are reproduced.
Dye and dye again
A red silk passes through the hand and changes color. New work on a classic.
That’s nuts!
A chop-cup routine, done with a jigger, cherries and a final load of peanuts.
Sneak Preview
The performer divines the name of someone’s mentally chosen favorite movie.
There it is… Again…
Their card is seen 5X in the deck… Vanishes,appears in an impossible location.

Our theme this month is “Packs Flat and Plays Big!”
This can be basically anything that doesn’t take up a lot of space in your briefcase or magic table, but can play to a large crowd.
There will also be open mike.
It’s a great place to work out the bugs in your effect and get constructive pointers from the members.
I apologize for the last minute notice!
Last week was quite busy with Jim Pace’s Lecture on Thursday and Easter Weekend.
Jim Pace’s lecture was fantastic!
I think everyone left learning something about performing close-up magic at restaurants.
Jim’s sleight of hand with coins and cards was truly magical!
I’ll be bringing in the video library this Sunday. There are quite a few VHS tapes and a few DVDs. You can rent them for $3.00 per month.
