L to R...Sir Patricks' red shirt Jon H, Rich M, Robert R, Breylen and Forrest
There were a number of early arrivals to our weekly meeting at Wertheim’s. Unfortunately, the Colonel Artie was not feeling well and was unable to come to the meeting. Before the magic really started Bobby M told stories of his recent street magic visit to New Orleans. Describing some of the antics of himself and other buskers in that city. Based on the conversation Chad must have been with him for at least part of the trip. Sir Patrick was dressed very fine for a CRAP meeting, it turns out he had just come from an emcee gig at the College of Mt St Joseph. Rich M. brought John the Balloon Guy (from Texas) to our meeting. John is in town for a few months doing some balloon artistry with Rich M. John and some of the group caught up socially since John hasn’t been seen in these parts since last fall. A couple of guests stopped by. Forrest and Breylen were admittedly very new to the magic scene. They were anxious to learn and somewhat frustrated by the unwillingness of anyone to just tell them how the tricks were done. Everyone in our group is willing to share but you have to have a working knowledge of the fundamentals first. Otherwise you just have the secret but no ability to perform it. Your welcome at our meetings anytime gentlemen.
Dave R, OM Rich and John the Balloon Man!
Dave R. showed a few new card effects he has been working on. Some very impressive stuff. Chad and Bobby worked with Breylen on some TT handling and some coin work. Robert R, Sir Patrick and Jon H worked with Forrest with some card stuff. Rich M seemed to plan on just socializing until Forrest found out about his memory work. Then Rich demonstrated with a short 30 item list. Then Forrest and Rich M. got into a rather detailed discussion on memory systems.
A good time was had by all and we agreed we be back next week.
Thanks goes out to Sir Patrick for bringing the camera. Hopefully he’ll bring it again and next time we’ll get more than his shirt and polka dotted suspenders in the pics.
