Virtual Summer Picnic
Seventeen members attended our 1stannual Zoom Summer Picnic this year and performed their stuff live. One nice thing about a virtual picnic is there were no bugs!
Colin Toepfer performed an amazing sponge ball, flower bag, and silk routine. Gene R. Gordon showed us his vanishing sugar and straw trick, CNR rope with a little magic saliva to re-attach it all back together. He also did a nice Coins Across that Dave Neighbors taught him. Glenn Proulx showed the gimmick he made to make the Healed and Sealed pop can trick work faster. David Parr took a lit match and shoved it into his fist, with us cringing, he opened his fist and it had vanished and he did not have any burn marks on his flesh! He also performed the Satan’s Shoestring Trick and made a knot vanish off of the shoestring. Bruce and Kitty Spangler had a question about a brass magic prop they have in their collection and are not sure how it works or what it is. They also told us about the history of the You Do Voodoo trick they invented. William Rader did a Mentalist act where he correctly predicted a minimum of 4 out of 5 questions asked of the group and predicted the only card turned over in a deck.
David Johnathan’s lecture was well attended and he loves to create and teach magic! David started off with a very cool card trick where the rubber band wrapped around the outside of the box, vanished and penetrated the box and the selected card found wrapped under the rubber band! Next he showed us Fortuity, Fourtunate, and Sovereign Sandwich and explained his method of creating magic. David’s You Know Uno and basic Premonition were very good tricks as well. Lastly, he wowed us with his latest trick called Snaps. That trick will WOW any audience. Thanks David, for being at our lecture.
