An Evening of Odd!
Our fearless leader, Mark Strivings, emceed our annual Evening of Odd. Karen Wake outdid herself with the ghoulish food and drink.
Jeff and Karen Wake dressed as the Addams Family, and Uncle Fester (Jeff) made a light bulb light up in his mouth!
Dr. Morticia Frankenstein (Marty Jewell) amazed us with her tossed-out eye, which she could use to see through a jumbo deck of cards and name your chosen one.
Mark Strivings performed a Larry Becker act about Lucrezia Borgia and her poison ring.
Louis Peacock had a silver tube where a red heart appeared and changed into a purple then black heart, and finally into a beautiful silk fountain.
Glenn Proulx showed us his Sefalaljia Box where a bell rang, a block of wood fell off a rope, a puff ball floated into a goblet, and the spirits drank some milk out of a glass.
Bruce Spangler showed us a video of Harry Anderson performing Bruce’s “You Do Voodoo” routine, which Bruce invented and sold.
Chad Wonder mixed up staple guns and his volunteer correctly picked the staple guns that were void of staples, so he wouldn’t hurt himself or his helper.
Jason Fye lost a card in the deck and only had 3 minutes to find it before a fake explosion went off. We all survived!
Gene Gordon had an empty candy bag that filled up with Halloween Candy!
Rich Nakata performed a Cut and Restored Rope trick where he cut and tied six knots into the rope and then restored it!
It was a bitterly cold night in Denver, and 29 members showed up to see Jonathan Levit perform and lecture while he was in town. We gave him 3 random numbers, and the total mysteriously appeared on a mini chalkboard! Three spectators selected 3 random cards, and he divined all of them mentally. A couple of cards ended up inside a completely empty card box! The trick was called Just In Case. Jonathan’s card at any number really fooled us. He performed different methods of his Stranger Routine, which was amazing! He also performed a nice jumbo dice and card trick where the prediction was off to the edge of the stage, and the random cards and dice matched, but the backs were different and so was the dice color.
