There were two meetings held in February and they both came up to the high standard we have now come to expect.

On the 10th February, Ivor Smith was our host for an evening all about Wallets. Ivor has an impressive collection of magical and adapted ordinary wallets and is something of an authority on their use, so was the ideal facilitator for the evening. Ivor introduced the subject and spoke about some of the various type of wallets used. He spoke in a little more detail about those which he uses as part of his repertoire, then handed over to the membership. As has now become the norm, everyone in attendance, and a couple of those online, had something to show and we saw a wide range of diverse effects using many different wallets. Ivor interspersed the performances with additional displays and led some discussions. He kept things moving nicely and tried manfully to keep us in check and on time and he came pretty close, in spite of us.

The second meeting was hosted by Carl with Gaffs and Gimmicks. Due to the long chats and discussions about Blackpool, Carl had a little less time than usual to play with but he handled it exceptionally well, kept things galloping along and delivered another splendid evening. Carl spoke about Gaffs, Gimmicks and the differences between them and showed us some excellent examples. He then invited members to show and talk about something and we saw a huge range of items, from home-made card gaffs to expensive electronic items and almost everything imaginable in between.
