Society of American Magicians Assembly 12On Friday, November 6th at 7:00PM, we’ll be treated to a lecture by Cameron Francis. Connection info will be sent out by email.
Cameron has a brand new lecture of material that can be done in person or over Zoom, including 2 brand new items!
Note: If you haven’t been receiving meeting/lecture invites, or have connection questions, please contact Kevin Smith at kjsmith@umn.edu
Time once again for a virtual assembly meeting! Our next one will be October 16th at 7:00 PM. Connection info will have to be sent out by email, in order to reduce the likelihood of a repeat Zoom bombing…
Because of the last-minute nature of this meeting announcement, our performance and teaching topic is “Stuff You Do When People Ask You To Show Them A Trick!”
As before, be prepared to demonstrate and teach if possible, and provide guidance and suggestions for others.
There should be time for the usual updates, stories, performances, and Show and Tell!
Let me know if you have any connection questions or other agenda ideas.
–Kevin

Time for a virtual assembly meeting! Our next one will be August 21st at 7:00 PM. As always, our Zoom room is courtesy of the SAM National Council and President Joel Zaritsky.
This month, our performance and teaching topic is Bar Tricks, Betchas, After-Dinner Diversions, and /or Scientific Amusements. (There are many names for this type of trick–let me know if you need examples!) Be prepared to demonstrate and teach if possible, and provide guidance and suggestions for others. I’m hoping everyone learns something new.
And I’m sure there will be plenty of time for the usual updates, stories, performances, and Show and Tell!

Once again, we’ll be having a virtual assembly meeting for July, this Friday, the 17th, at 7:00 PM. As always, our Zoom room is courtesy of the SAM National Council and President Joel Zaritsky.
This month, I’d like to do something different and look at a particular technique and have us explore it a bit. I was thinking, after last month’s lecture and the effects taught, our technique of the month should be Card Forcing. Be prepared to talk about your favorite card forces and where you learned them, demonstrate and teach if possible, and provide guidance and suggestions for others. If you don’t have a favorite force, you might after the meeting!
Of course, there will be plenty of time for the usual updates, stories, performances, and Show and Tell!

It’s time once again for a virtual assembly meeting, June 19th at 7:00!
The Other Brothers (Darryl Davis and Daryl Williams), of Abstract Effects, will be stopping by for the first 45 minutes or so.
They’ve offered to talk about their new magic and give us a bit of a lecture!
After the visit from the Other Brothers, we’ll do yet another Show and Tell—perform something you’re working on, do a book report, or just tell us a story.
As always, our Zoom room is courtesy of the SAM National Council and President Joel Zaritsky.

We’ll be having another virtual assembly meeting April 17th, at 7:00. Thanks again to the SAM National Council and President-elect Joel Zaritsky for setting up the Zoom meeting. The theme is “Magic Show and Tell!” In other words, be prepared to show and talk about something you’re working on, a prop you made, a piece of magic history you’re proud of, the book you’re currently reading, etc.
