Riverpointe Thank You Show!
The folks at Riverpoint Golden Age Center let us use their facility every month for our magic meetings. As a thank you for their generosity we give a magic show to their residents every July.
Our Emcee, Steve Davis started off our thank you show with a Knots Off Silk routine. Mysto, our President, performed the Asiatic Dove Vanish. This vanishing and appearing dove wowed the audience with a jaw dropping results! Members of the club did not how he did it. Sharon Nuanes performed a lovely, classy, magic manipulation routine featuring flowers, silks, colored liquid, and the appearance of a 100’ silk streamer at the end. Max Davidson had a Rubic’s cube mixed and he tried to solve it while blindfolded. He was so close but failed, so he tossed it up into the air and it solved itself! Glenn Proulx performed Jim Steinmeyer’s Enchanted Tea Kettle. Gregg Tobo amazed them with his Cups and Balls routine and did a wonderful bill in lemon trick. Brad Montgomery had an audience member thought of a card and they had a 1 in 52 chance of getting it and they did! Brad also had a Rubic’s cube with numbers on the side and after adding up the numbers on the cube they matched his prediction. Steve Davis performed an Egg Bag routine where he ended up finding a small ball inside the bag instead of the egg. It was a wonder-full show and the audience of senior citizens loved it!
We had a lecturer this month. Master Magician, Damion from NYC taught us stage magic, manipulation, and stage craft. He covered ball manipulation, ropes, cards, how he sets up his act, thimble routines, and how to fold a silk in your pocket so it opens easily. He also showed us how he gets set-up for his doves and reiterated the importance of getting to the venue early for make-up, sound and to make sure the lighting is correct for your show. Thanks again for the staff at Riverpointe for the use of their room for our meetings.
