What Happened at the Meeting on Friday 17th October 2025

The theme of the night was "Free Choice" and was accentuated by thunder and lightning outside!

David Whitson started by demonstrating raining money using a Supreme branded dollar bill dispenser.

Mia was taken with this and repeated the performance before showing a clever and convincing split pencil. The pencil is shown whole, suddenly split into three and then magically restored shortly afterwards.

Joel was up next with some concepts developed through his work as an MC. He started with a series of funny laminated phrases before moving on to a number of humorous notices and advertisements in a newspaper. Next up was a mathematical notebook that goes over the number of days worked by the average person each year with a surprising conclusion. Finally Joel performed an effect involving silks and a long candle all from a small rectangular box which is repeatedly shown empty. Impressive!

Steve Irwin dazzled us with a brief but effective coin manipulation routine involving three large coins. They all disappeared faster than the eye could follow.

David Whitson started with the classic levitating wand behind the palm, followed by a polished Spots Before Your Eyes routine. He ended his series of effects using a change bag containing various silks with partial variants of the Australian Flag. After several changes he was able to reveal and display a full Australian Flag.
