2022-02-05 14:00 - 16:00
Long time member Shawn Popp has helped to secure one of the most influential magicians of modern times!

Joshua Jay is on a 45 city book tour in support of his new book for the public, How Magicians Think. We’re pleased to announce that while Jay is in town we’ve arranged for him to do an all-new lecture for Denver magicians. It will be his only lecture in the region. You’ll learn the magic that has taken Joshua around the world–from appearances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The Late Show with James Corden to his appearance on Penn and & Teller’s Fool Us, where he managed to fool Penn & Teller. Jay’s lecture will be a mix of parlor and close-up, cards and other objects, easy and difficult, and will be a mixture of his most popular material and unpublished new pieces. This will be a rare opportunity to see Joshua Jay in person.

August Meeting 2021
2021-07-31 08:00 - 17:00
Hello!
This month’s theme is… “Tricks you learned from a book.” Some tricks we read in a book are easy, medium, difficult, and ‘way over my head’ hard to comprehend or even learn. Hopefully, each and every one of us has had some success learning magic from a book. So, I am asking each and every one of you to go to your magic drawer or box and dust off a trick you made or learned from reading (or even watching and old VCR or DVD) and perform it at this months August 12, 2021 meeting 7PM. I am hosting the Zoom Meeting so if you would like to volunteer to show or perform the “Trick you learned from a book” please contact me at glennproulx@gmail.com and I will put you on the list.
Performers so far: Glenn Proulx, Gene Gordon

Best pocket trick using your pocket for absolutely no reason but convincing us it makes sense.

To clarify, feel free to compete in a listed category above or perform anything because we with over 360 competition categories we can’t possibly print because we don’t want a member to train a guinea pig or buy snowshoes etc. just to win.

Tonight we are joined by Peter Samelson for an Ask Me Anything and to session on anything you’re working on!

(If you didn’t receive the link, email me at President@milehighmagicians.com and I’ll send it to you right away! Or check out or Facebook page, and follow it from the event there!)

The lecture is a one-hour-plus event using multi-media to help explore and explain Peter Samelson’s approach to creating Theatrical Magic. The lecture is based on Peter’s book Theatrical Close Up (long out of print, available today in a digital edition), and his unpublished Theatrical Cabaret, and will slow explain and show some of the magic and visual illusions for the movies Whispers in the Dark and What About Bob, and the Theatrical productions of Winters Tale (BAM and the Old Vic) and Leap of Faith (B’way.)
Monday Night Magic is hosted by the Mile High Magicians, but not an official club function.
You do not need to be a member of the Mile High Magicians, S.A.M or I.B.M. to come hang out with us on Mondays. This is a casual, magical hang out for anyone who loves magic! We ask only that you’re respectful and kind to your fellow magicians.
The Mile High Magicians are not responsible for anything said in this Zoom meeting, and any opinions expressed are entirely those of the magician expressing them and do not represent the club or any of its members.

C19 - Postponed Kent Axell and Robert Watkins - VIRTUAL REALITY lecture
2020-03-19 19:00 - 21:00 | DTC Dr AJ’s Chiropractic Office, 8000 E Prentice Ave A-2, Greenwood Village, CO, 80111
In this cutting edge 2 hour lecture, Kent and Watkins teach stellar material from their own professional close-up and stage repertoire. There is no filler here. None. Zip. Nada. All of this is based in powerful, effective, and deceptive techniques without any knuckle busters. Also,this is a worker’s lecture, not a dealer demo. Buy our books if you like, but we’re here to pass on incredible Magic and Mentalism, not add to your magic drawer.
What you’ll learn
The Test of Time: Openly predict the time a spectator will call ‘STOP’ on the face of a clock. Kent has taken this popular and EXPENSIVE piece and reduced it to about 6 dollars. During the lecture, Kent will present the piece, and then walk you through the construction and presentation of this deviously simple device which could save you about three grand.
Poker Face: An open prediction routine with a switch that is so easy to do, you’ll fool yourself!
A little Touch on Coin Bending: This routine is so fun, it’ll get you bending coins right away!
Hive Mind: Duplicate a drawing that was worked on by multiple volunteers from across the room.
Definitely Maybe: A fool proof method for practicing readings and linguistic based mentalism.
The City Thing: An incredible show stopping closer. A randomly selected volunteer changes their mind over and over again, you guess the city they’re thinking of.
Challenge Cards: A new take on 4th Dimensional Telepathy and close up Q and A that opens doorways to new possibilities. Now you can allow your skeptical audience members to “challenge” your powers and still read their thoughts. You will also learn how to ‘hide’ progressive anagrams
The Difficult Ploy: This one line of scripting will create a very convincing revelation of any piece of information. Allow your participants the ability to change their mind AFTER they have written down their thought- and still be able to reveal it.
Severance 1 and 2: Learn 2 different methods to make your Center Tear routine more deceptive. These techniques will make your billets totally invisible in your audience’s minds.
Thought Switching: How to take any piece of information that has been peeked and turn it into a Spectator as Mind Reader effect.
2 Billet Switches: If you were ever afraid of switching billets, these two switches, along with Watkins additional tips and subtleties will help build your confidence and have you performing them without fear.
Thanatos: How to reveal a person’s ‘Death Date’…and they will know you are correct
And if time allows, we will teach a very simple method for performing a 2 person 4th dimensional telepathy, with all of the subtleties necessary to make it appear to be absolutely impossible.
