Society of American Magicians Assembly 12

It’s time for our January meeting!

We’re meeting Friday, January 19, at 7:00 PM. Our theme this month, chosen in anticipation of next month, is “Magic you found while going through your stuff for the auction!” We will also learn more about a possible performance opportunity in partnership with a community group.

We’ll meet at Eagle Magic and Joke Store. (Eagle Magic is in Burnsville, MN, 4 lights east of 35W on Hwy 13, southeast corner, next door to the BP gas station.) Bring potluck snacks to share. Connection information for the virtual view of the meeting will be sent prior to the meeting.

See you on Friday, either in person or online!

Gather items to sell next month

We are hosting an auction in February, and now’s the time to find the magic props, books, videos, collectibles, etc. that you’d like to sell. This will help give your fellow magicians a nice selection of items to bid on and, the more you sell, the more new-to-you treasures you can win!

It’s time for our annual Holiday Chili Party! It will be held on Friday, December 15th at 7:15 PM at the Discovery Methodist Church in Chanhassen, and there will be chili, salad, cornbread, cake, and soda! Special thanks to Sandy Meyer for doing all of the cooking, and arranging the location, too! 

Like last year, there’s no performance theme this month, so it’s entirely up to you if you want to perform anything. We will probably talk about plans for the coming year, so if you have ideas (one-day conference? charity show?) please bring them!

We’ll be setting up the Zoom camera setup in case anyone wants to attend virtually — although technology still hasn’t advanced enough for virtual chili eating….. We’ll send out connection information before the event. If you plan on attending the in-person party, please RSVP here. Sandy needs to know how much chili to make!!

Location address:
Discovery Methodist Church
275 Lake Drive East
Chanhassen, MN 55317
We’ll see you at the party!

It’s November, and time for our monthly hybrid SAM assembly meeting!

We’ll meet on Friday, November 17, at 7:00 PM at Eagle Magic. (Eagle Magic is in Burnsville, MN, 4 lights east of 35W on Hwy 13, southeast corner, next door to the BP gas station.) Bring potluck snacks to share. Connection information for the virtual view of the meeting will be sent prior to the meeting.

Our theme this month, chosen by our members at the September meeting, is Cups and Balls and Bowls! Perform your favorite “Cups and Balls” routine, or sponge balls, or Benson Bowl, or paper cup trick, or…you get the idea!

As always, be prepared to demonstrate, teach, and provide guidance and suggestions for others.

See you on Friday, either in person or online!

It’s time for our September “Back to School” S.A.M. Assembly 12 meeting!

Due to some conflicts, we’re pushing the meeting back one week to Friday, September 22. We’ll meet at 7:00 at Eagle Magic and Joke Store. (Eagle Magic is in Burnsville, MN, 4 lights east of 35W on Hwy 13, southeast corner, next door to the BP gas station.) Bring potluck snacks to share.

Connection information for the virtual view of the meeting will be sent prior to the meeting.

Our theme this month, chosen due to the season, is Magic with School Supplies! Pencils, crayons, construction paper, flashcards, etc. You could even use a slate (or whiteboard for modern folk) and show us some Math magic!

As always, be prepared to demonstrate, teach, and provide guidance and suggestions for others.

See you on Friday, either in person or online!

P.S. IMPORTANT! Our 100th Anniversary Gala is next month, and we need a final count by the end of this month. If you haven’t already done so, please purchase your tickets now! Don’t forget, there will be a lecture and performance by John Sturk, the 107th National President of the S.A.M., along with performances by local magicians!
