October is our Spooky Magic night and is always filled with fun magic and amazing food prepared by Karen Wake and Sharon Nuanes and appreciated by the club for all of their hard work. Bob Brown electrocuted many pickles with his pickle helmet, which he wore for safety. From Rocky Flats Nuclear Arsenal, member Lew Wymisner found and ant farm and wooden blocks of different colors which floated. Due to nuclear radiation? The ants were huge and correctly predicted the author’s name, which ended up inside of the ant farm. AJ the Great, likes bugs and he also had a large fly mounted on a board. Having a recipe randomly selected from a cookbook, the recipe name was written down. Using the spectators’ psychic powers the name of the recipe was transmitted from one helper to another. VP Steve Davis had spooky music and a spooky story about an empty pumpkin found in an abandoned house. Suddenly, inside the empty pumpkin, spiders, bats, ghosts, goblins and rats appeared! Chad Wonder cut a young spectator in two with a saw whose blade was 10” long. He survived! Jeff and Karen Wake had a card selected by a spectator then found a bag of bones and put them into a box. With the lights and switches thrown, the skeleton assembled him self and the card prediction were found by the skeleton. Mark Strivings had a dead dung beetle from Roman times, which then pushed over a block of wood. President Andrew Bates did a two deck Tarot card reading and matched the cards the spectator held. Steve Aldrich said the only way to get a vampire to come to your house on Halloween is to leave blood from the Needle Through the Arm drippings on the cookies! When you look through Joe Givens goggles you saw a combination, then messages on the wall, then ashes where dumped on paper which formed a shape, which Joe predicted after cutting his hand open.
Penn and Teller Fooler and “Deception” show consultant Francis Menotti lectured and performed the trick that fooled P&T. Francis also passed a signed coin through his shirt. Also a blank card was signed and placed back in a deck, then shuffled. Using a Rubics cube with numbers on the side, the numbers where totaled up. That number was the place where the spectators signed card was found in the blank deck!
