Thanksgiving Table Magic and Betchas
With the table set and Thanksgiving rapidly approaching our meeting was centered around magic that you can perform after dinner with friends and family. Along with “Betchas”, I bet I can do this, before you do that, or make some sort of prediction. Our MC Gene Gordon set up the following member magicians for the evening. President Andrew Bates borrowed a woman’s finger ring and under the cover of a hanky, while the ends of the rope were held mind you, the ring ended on the center of the rope with a safety pin holding it in place! Bruce and Kitty Spangler did a floating vase and flower bit from props found at the dollar store. Marty Jewell, the “Queen of Puns” cooked a turkey with a pill-gram, drum stick, and grey V, if you get the gist of how this worked. Gregg Tobo did a TNR napkin where the napkins restored and actually changed places in the spectator’s hands. Gregg also played the game NIM and won every time! Elliott Baskin gave us the religious and history meaning of Thanksgiving by showing us marks on the back of a $1 bill and separated pepper from floating on a water. Editor William Rader, made a betcha prediction that worked well while Jean-Luc performed a card trick. Amy Marschak created an improv poem, which is her specialty, with words suggested from the members. Treasurer Chad Wonder performed a 2 Card Monte routine that was fun and Sargent of Arms Gene Gordon tore off and ate part of a $1 bill then restored it to normal! He also performed a TNR IOU card trick where he won $100 of fictitious money from his helper. His helper held on to the corner of the card as a receipt and it matched. He also did a dice trick where white dice changed places with a red then a green dice.
