Ring 216’s annual Stage and Parlor Competition amazed and delighted the audience on December 11, 2024. In the Standard divisions’ clash of talent, Jeff Friend cast a banishment spell, Alex Wu turned blank cards to queens and conjured up a live fish, and Greg Lum played a dating specialist with prognosticating powers. In the Master’s division, a spectator surprisingly guessed the price of Mitch Kothe’s suit, Alan Leeds puzzled out how to fit one’s life together, and Jonathan Chen rang changes on linking four rings together with help from the audience.
When the votes were
tallied, Alex was awarded first place in the Standard division, and Jonathan
took the Master’s division.
Ring
Vice-President Yitian Liang was the emcee.
