Lecture Description
My goal with this lecture is to share how I incorporate concepts into presentations. You will learn both the tricks I use and the full presentation for each effect. The lecture will detail a presentation I developed for an investment company to help explain their investment philosophy to Financial Advisors. Everything that I will be covering has been performed hundreds of times in front of corporate professionals.

Additionally, we will have some time during the lecture to collectively brainstorm what you are working on. Come prepared with topics/presentations that you want to incorporate magic into.

No need to RSVP... just show up!

Meeting Report: August 14, 2019 - Walkaround Competition

Ring 216 held its Walkaround Competition for an audience of laypeople and magicians on August 14, 2019. Among the delicacies: Grant Gomez performed a multi-phase three-(or is it two? or is it one?)-coin routine. Fred Lee squished a marble. David Martinez cheated with a marked red-hot card. Mitch Kothe told jokes with a series of effects. Sohum Mohda persuaded spectators to find matching cards. Dan Chan Instagrammed a selected card. Meriam Al-Sultan and Judy melded two signed cards together lengthwise. Tom Collett dematerialized coins in the spectator’s imagination. Susan Zeller went ninja on metal rings. Alan Leeds did something shocking with a tennis ball.

The scoring was very very close, but unfortunately there has to be a winner. First Place went to Grant Gomez. The People’s Choice award was a tie between Grant Gomez and David Martinez. Congratulations to all the participants!
