Last Month: 

 

Meeting, Monday, July 16 – “Wood Magic”

This month’s meeting featured effects that are made out of wood or wood products such as wands, paper, and newspaper.   Char Gott demonstrated a newspaper effect where, through special cuts of a folded paper, a circle is transformed into a star.  Char also demonstrated the amazing twirling cigarette paper on the finger effect, which has to be seen to be believed.  Char just returned from the SAM national convention in Dallas and talked about her experiences.  Adam Shake performed the egg bag and a nice billiard balls routine with red wooden balls.  Kathy Martin performed a wonderful routine with a wooden ball and vase where the ball jumps back and forth from the vase to a wooden box.  Grant Golden showed everyone an effect where a wooden block penetrates a solid object inside of a wooden tube.  Ward Miner performed as “the Professor” with lab coat and glasses and a surprising Sliding Die Box routine.  Troy Keefer had Nicole Shake shook up for the Smash and Grab routine where four coasters, one with a spike, are covered by Styrofoam cups and three cups are smashed one at a time, by the volunteer’s free choice.  Greg Joyce showed and performed various versions of magic paddles and hot rods that he has been making and teaching in the College for Kids classes (jumbo wood craft sticks and wood pieces).  Allen Broomfield showed everyone a deceiving top palm method for cards.  Greg McNeil brought some of his homemade wooden wands to add to the evening.
