Our February meeting will take place on the 18th. Our theme wil be magic we have learned from Jerry Johnson. All are invited to perform. Sandy will be bringing chili.

Our January meeting will take place on the 21st at Eagle Magic. Our theme is ventriloquism. We may have a special guest who is actually well versed in the art. Sorry to say no chili as Sandy has been carried away by Methodists. 😉 Please come and be prepared to talk to yourself. Bringing refreshments and random pieces of deception is also encouraged. See you at 7:30 p.m.

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.
