Teach-In
Our Teach-in night had a wonderful turn out right before summer starts. Coin Conjurer, Dave Neighbors taught us a friction pass from BoBo’s and a nice coins across routine. Gene Gordon taught us the Balducci card force and suggested that we look up how to reverse cards from the Royal Road to Card Magic book. He used key cards and a pencil force for some of his tricks. Bruce Spangler did some fun brainteasers with us and performed some tricks. He had a Red, Green, Blue prediction trick and a Liar, Tell the truth trick, which he could tell if we were Lying or telling the truth. William Rader performed some tricks from Martin Garner’s book Mathematics, Magic and Mystery that were fun to learn also. Five coins were shaken in his hands then placed on the table. Some heads up, some tails up. Then we were asked to turn some over and stop when we were done flipping coins and hide one under our hand. William predicted weather the hidden coin was heads or tails up! He shared an easy Three Card Monte trick with us also. At the end of the meeting we proudly presented long time member and our past Sargent of Arms, Larry Betz with a Lifetime Membership to the Mile High Magicians’ Society.
