Our Nov. meeting will take place on the 19th @ Eagle Magic.  We will have a lecure by Steve Daly.  He lives and works in Las Vegas and has just signed a deal to do his comedy hypnosis show at the Riviera.  He has relatives in Iowa and is orgainizing “abraCorndabra” a magic convention in Altoona on May 20–21.  Featured acts will include Jade, Tom Burgoon, and The Great Tomsoni.  Tom O’lenick brought him to our attention.

October 15th is the date for our next meeting. We are going to have an auction so clean out your closets and empty your trunks. Free for members, $5 for non members (you can join for $10). 10% goes to the club.

Our Sept. meeting will take place on the 17th at 7:30. The theme will be what you learned (and can demonstrate) over the summer. Remember the auction next month. Dues are also due.

Our May meeting will take place on the 21st (not the 15th) at Eagle Magic. The theme is escapes with extra points for strait jackets. May is our month for elections so please give some thought as to how you can help our club. Come prepared to perform, socialize and snack. We will not be meeting again until September.

Our April meeting will be held on the 16th at 7:30. Eagle Magic will continue to be our host. The theme is [a secret — see your newsletter]. Everyone is strongly encouraged to participate. You are also encouraged to bring a snack to share. We may be taking nominations for next year’s officers, so remember the saying “throw the rascals out” and consider how you might want to serve.

Our March meeting will take place on the 19th at Eagle Magic. Time is 7:30. We would really like everyone to participate. For a theme we came up with hecklers or disasters (or a combination). Please come with something to perform and something to eat.

The February meeting will take place on the 19th at Larry’s Place. Time is 7:30 p.m. The theme is sponge magic. We hate them but we use them. When you drop one they don’t clank like a coin and they are very easy to manipulate. If you don’t have some see Larry. Geoff has some very nice routines in his notes. They work better with kids and drunks than coins. You can name them or call them what ever you want (see Steve for details). Be prepared to demonstate and don’t forget the snacks.

Our January meeting will take place on the 15th at Larry’s place. Bring something to show and to share. Our honorable vice president may have a surprise. Remember everyone performs. Not planning on chili as Sandys’ a bit under the weather.

If you need a theme, bring something using a wallet. If not, just bring something to show and share. See you at Eagle Magic at 7:30pm.

For our November 20th meeting, we will have a travel-log by Geoff Williams. Geoff went a very long way to find folks who wouldn’t make fun of the way he spells his name. They say that the farther you get from home, the smarter you become. Come hear the boy genius just back from Australia and points in between. He has followed in the steps of Houdini, Percy Abbott, and John Calvert.
