Last Month:

2003 Central Illinois Magic Get-Together - Saturday, May 3, 2003

On Friday, May 2, Robert Bengel, from the Atlanta area, presented an excellent workshop on card locations and coins attended by over 20 close-up enthusiasts and Bengel fans. Robert offered several anecdotes from his experiences performing at trade shows and allowed each person attending to ask for a demonstration of various coin sleights.

On Saturday, May 3, over 50 people attended the day’s events at Lakeview Museum including lectures by Robin Walker, John Rogers, Robert Bengel and Dan Garrett. The close-up show included Jon Gallagher, John Rogers and Robert Bengel. The evening show was very entertaining with a large walk-up public audience of over 200. Highlights included Mike Stratman, IBM President performing Sidewalk Shuffle, Rick Fisher’s hilarious huge bunny vent act, Greg Loschen’s CD and card manipulation act and illusions by Chezaday. Chezaday also performed a cute restored tennis sneaker effect with David Taylor’s young son Bennett.
