Installing New Officers
MC and new President, Brad Montgomery lead us off into the New Year with 67 members showing up, 14 were brand new attendees! Thank you to last years Executive Board, President Andrew Bates, Vice-President Steve Davis, Secretary Glenn Proulx, Treasurer Chad Darnell, Sargent-at-Arms Gene Gordon. This years’ Board is President Brad Montgomery, Vice-President Mitch Harwood, Secretary Glenn Proulx, Treasurer Chad Darnell, Sargent-at-Arms Gene Gordon. Special thanks to our Editor/Web Master William Rader, and we added Wendy Wilde our Facebook guru, and Gregg Tobo our Lecture Chairman. We had door prizes and a fun Bingo warm-up to meet and great new and old members. Erica Sodas performed a memory and mind reading effect that wowed all of us. Joe and Carol Givens, World Champions at FISM who won the Gold Cup, performed a card trick where three different people chose three cards and Carol successfully named the cards! No clue how it was done. Wendy Wylde did a multiplying dots trick that mesmerized young Colin. Then our youngest performer Colin showed us a stiff rope act. Glenn Proulx did a pencil through a borrowed bill, and then the bill and pencil were passed out for examination. He also had popcorn kernels added into an examined napkin lined Derby, covered it with tin foil and fire heated up the Derby. Spectators could smell the popped popcorn then ate it. Will Rader and Ralph Macintosh did a point/counterpoint bit where they debated the topic if it is OK to expose magic to non-magicians, also when is it OK to expose magic to magicians of different skill levels. Each had 90 seconds to debate. Mentalist Anthem and Aria Flint successfully used mental telepathy to find out words written on paper from our members. Answers included; the names of songs written down, mixed in a bag, selected and revealed. Other objects that Aria predicted while blind folded were cell phones, rings, combs credit cards and the finale was to read the ENTIRE serial number off of a borrowed bill! Our year is off to a great start.
