What Happened at the Meeting on Friday 28th June


The magic segment of the meeting was short, to allow us time to prepare for the Magic Show at Stockton Bowling Club the next day.

STEVE IRWIN entertained us with a surprising card trick – a card was chosen, and then Steve directed our attention to a jumbo card that was hanging from the ceiling – and it was the chosen card!

A small pack of cards with glamour photographs of girls was displayed by AL HIRSCHEL.   As he thumbed through the cards (one to the back, one to the table, etc) he had one card chosen by the spectator – and it was not one of the beauties, but Ugly Thelma!

NOEL CLAIR showed us a colour changing silk.  Supposedly, he said he would show us how the colour change happened, but he really confused us even more!  A nice piece.

The recent "Dan Harlan Lecture" had been  much appreciated by JEFF CLARK, and he had two items from that lecture to show us.  The first was a new version of "Professor's Nightmare".  In the second, he poured a drink into a glass, placed it into a box and closed the box, then rotated the box in the air.  When he opened the box, the drink had not spilled !
