Impromptu Magic, Devices, Outs and War Stories – February Meeting Minutes

Secretary – AJ Perea | Email AJ

Glenn Prolux was our master of ceremonies and lead us through the night of horror stories and everyday carries. Stuart Hayner opened the night with a cut and restored rope trick which into a lesson on misdirection and how to use a bowtie as a piece of magic. Chris Manos presented a “Red silk disappearing trick” when as he was trying to disappear the red silk it instead changed colors and lead to a large mouth streamer appearing from his mouth. After the act Chris gave us tips on how to operate a Johnson die tube and how to find a good coin drop bucket for Meiser’s dream and etc.  Bruce and Kitty Spangler brought us a collection of around 100 different magic wands. They gave us lessons about a few of the most special wands in the collection including one that held live ammo and one that could change colors in an instant. Bruce then shared a horror story from one of his past shows in which he accidentally caused his rabbit to growl and scream at him before going on stage. James Lopez started off strong with an appearing bottle trick then took us through the 7 tricks and 2 utilities on him at all times. Steve Spangler provided us with a full history on fire books and fire wallets and demonstrated many of their uses and how they operate. John Luong shared with us his full collection of reels from old to new. John Walker showed us a card trick using frequencies and disruptions where he found the cards by listening to the deck. Secretly just using a corner short card made with a nail cutter on his key ring. Jeff Wake closed our night with a hilarious routine when he used an ordinary handkerchief as a prop to teach a full story about a grandpa, grandma, and fishing.
