Christmas Tricks - 7 Dec 2006

12 January 2007

We started the festive meeting with a fresh face at the Sussex Magic Circle for his first performance at the club was Colin Wilcox, he did his audition, it consisted of a few card revelations with a mentalist style presentation. And crazy mans handcuffs with the elastic bands. Well done Colin!!!

To start the magic night, Mike Pettitt treated us to a few festive miracles, with vanishing hank and reappearing in a xmas cracker. Mike also did a routine (forgive me for forgetting the name), but an empty toyshop, was placed on the side and then a gift was selected, and re-appeared inside the shop. Mike's presentation is absolutely amazing and he never fails to entertain me, I wish he was my granddad!!

Andrew performed a Christmas card trick, which its effect was that the cards had matching xmas treats on their faces and they were turned face down, the cards were paired up fairly by the spectators, and the last two cards matched up. A nice fitting piece for the evening.

And finally Stuart performed a snow production from water, an absolutely lovely piece of magic and a nice change to a snow pellet, I too perform the snow stool effect with a pellet. But this was a lot better, but I wouldn't like to spend half an hour sweeping it up after the show.

Apologies if I have missed any names or magic performed that night, as I lost my paper work. I look forward to seeing you all in the new year! Merry Christmas.
