January Meetings
January was a nice, relaxed opening for 2012. Westarted with an "Ace of Spades" night when everyone did something and a good time was had by all. There was a lot of chat and discussion, in addition to a load of good, fun magic. Steve hosted this opener.
It was Iain's turn to host the second evening, entitled My Favourite Card Trick. The various germs and virii then circulating took its toll on the attendance with at least three member unable to attend due to ill-health (your humble narrator included). By all accounts it was a cracking night with loads of good stuff on show.
February Highlights
We'll start February on the 11th with the first of 2012's lectures. This Saturday Night Special is a double-header with the talents of both Joshua Jay and Andi Gladwin (pictured) on show! Blimey, what a great start to the season!
We also have the usual two Tuesday meetings. On the 14th Norn will host a night of Balloon Magic. This is a night not to be missed as anyone who has seen Norn in action will testify. Perhaps the greatest twister since Chubby Checker, Norn squeaks and models with the best of them.
On the 28th, we're in for another rare treat as Ivor hosts a night of Rope Magic. This is another must-see event as Ivor is a master of rope magic and will be relatively fresh from his Californian escapades.
Announcements
Radek Makar has recently made an addition to his portfolio of e-books with a re-release of the phenomenally popular title Eni-Where. I'm sure that Radek will tell you the whole story but it was unavailable for a while but now it's back. This, along with his other works Eastern Moves and Into Thin Air can be found at: http://www.lybrary.com/radek-makar-m-73846.html or go to lybrary.com and hunt about a bit!
Our very own Marcus Gordon has an Ebook out! It is called Suit Up! and you can download it from www.lybrary.com for a mere $18. An absolute bargain and worth every cent (and buying it will enable him to buy some new jeans!). Seriously, please support this bright new talent emerging from within our own ranks.
There is a Society email list available, thanks to the efforts of Mr. McGrath. To join the list, simply send an email to: john@magicbyjohn.co.uk or contact John or Dave. If we can get everyone in the Society onto the list it will greatly help in the distribution of information and allow us all to communicate swiftly and securely.
Next Month
The meetings scheduled for March are "Scripting Magic" hosted by Steve, and "The Ron Gordon Cup" (for card magic).
