The theme was "Colour Changes and Classics" hosted
by our President David Whitson.
David treated us to 'Blooming Flowers', 'Colour Card Fans', a comedy presentation of the 'Colour Change Jumbo Coin in Change Bag' and the 'Two To One Ropes'. Each trick was performed with some dry puns that kept members laughing........
Joel Howlett (JD) surprised every one present when he took a bite out of a playing card! Then he gave the classic 'pick a card trick' effect a new twist with a story of the Wild West and the selected card was found in a noose! He followed this up with the classic children's effect of turning a carrot into a rabbit!
Noel Clare was up next demonstrating an impromptu effect where he folded his hanky up to make a little origami mouse. Noel told us that he hopes this little stunt will be of use to him on his next cruise to amuse passengers.
Steve Irwin was our last performer of the night - he demonstrated a version of the Baffling Blocks that we had never seen before. It was a "cute" prop where the assembled blocks showed a picture of Mickey Mouse.
An informal session followed with members brainstorming gags for the bitten card effect. Michael Blakeman also kindly taught us a simple card effect. It was a simple version of the 'Slop Shuffle' effect that can be used to create an astonishing moment of magic with an ordinary pack.
