October Meeting

A little change this month, we will be swapping the November meeting theme with October’s theme.  For this month you will need to get out your Mark Wilson Complete Course in Magic book.  This comprehensive book covers a variety of topics, so anything goes.  If you don’t have one and you would like one, go to the link on page two of this newsletter.  You can also go to your local library; I find that this book can be found in many of them.  See you Tuesday the 13th.

 

Big News…

 

A vote was held at our last meeting and with a unanimous response, our own Compeer Clem Kinnicutt was to be named Dean of Assembly 24, the Jay Gorham Assembly.  An official letter was sent and Clem and he gladly accepted.  As of January 2010, Clem will officially hold the title of Dean of the Jay Gorham Assembly 24.  Congratulations Clem and well deserved!

The Web Site – Pictures of the last meeting

Want to see pictures of the last meeting, visit www.sam24.org.  Please take a moment if you have not and fill-in or update your member information.  Compeer Dave MacDonald has worked long hours and produced a fantastic website.  Check out the clip of the month which shows Ricky Jay performing a four queen revelation.  This routine was scripted well and carefully thought out.  I believe this was an excerpt from this HBO special several years ago.

November Meeting

Our November meeting will be Magic Mania.  Prizes will be awarded to the winners of this test of the mind.  See how knowledgeable you and your team are about the history and current events of magic.  Participation is optional; a studio audience is also going to be needed.  This should be a fun night; snacks are being served compliments of the Assembly.  See you then!
