Because of the Corona virus lockdown, the meeting was
conducted online using Zoom. Since we
are all in lockdown, we talked at some length about magic websites to
look at:
1.Tim Ellis has a website for his "Laneway
Theatre" –
and in this website Tim interviews many magicians from Australia
and overseas (including our own Joel Howlett!).
Tim has purchased a warehouse in one of the laneways in the Melbourne
CBD, and has fitted it out for magic performances.
2. Andrew Pickard drew our attention to a massive 21/2 hour
lecture by Marc de Sousa. It is available
to all magicians through the Society of American Magicians, at
and you will need to give the surname of the magician known
as "The Professor" to gain entry (which is free) and you don't need
to be a member of SAM.
In our online magic session, Noel Clair performed some coin
transfers from hand to hand. Warden
(Andrew Pickard) did card to pocket, and a smo-o-o-th top change. Jeff Clark had attended the Joshua Jay
lecture in Sydney, and showed us Joshua's "Phantom Deck".
