October Meeting: Spooky Magic Tricks

Hello Fellow Ring49 Members:

A reminder of our meeting Tuesday night:

The location of our meeting is held at Ryerson United Church, 265 Wilson Street East in Ancaster. Club Meetings will be held from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm and are held on the second Tuesday of every month.

Spookiest Magic Tricks

Since October is the month of Halloween and spooky stuff, we are asking members to dig into their magic boxes and bring out some spooky magic tricks to perform and share with each other. When we have a night and perform and share it allows us to learn pro tips from others, provide suggestions to others, and enjoy the magic performances from everyone. It is highly recommended that everyone engages in the share of magic tricks to provide a complete evening of entertainment. If you can not find any magic tricks that are related to the theme of spooky magic, we welcome you to bring any magic tricks with you to share.

Thank you

Victor Staniewski

You will either need to pay the lecture fee of $10 of the membership of $40 or $35 for seniors in order to attend the event.

In this month’s upcoming meeting, we’re joined by Ryan Joyce, who will cover topics for becoming a better all-around magician. From tricks to technology, he’ll share suggestions for practicing difficult sleights, the essential part of a magician’s show and what every magician must do in the first 60 seconds of their performance. Plus, tricks, sleeving, tips for booking more shows, and the one essential skill that separates all great magicians (Hint: it’s non-magic related). Join us!
