Magic Night 27/07/2007

Magic Night was at Allan’s flat this evening. After a about 20 minutes of struggling with the technology, Allan showed us a few clips from some new DVD’s he had bought, some of which actually turned out to be pretty good. Colin dug out a card trick from many years ago while Chris showed us a great comedy prop from his kids show.

One of the real highlights of the evening, however, was when Mitch amazed everyone by making a balloon model that was actually quite good (see the picture below).

Throughout the evening Ian showed how it should be really be done by making some really clever models.

Magic Night 13/07/2007

Thanks to Ian for hosting magic night this week, after a failed attempt to orgainise it two weeks ago, when due to a breakdown in email communications only John and Ian showed up – sorry Ian.  This time the rain stopped for long enough for us all to enjoy a BBQ at Ian’s house. We all feasted on sausages and burgers while the mosquitoes feasted on us and Chris continued his charitable work of distributing his old and unused props to less fortunate magicians (he’s clearing out his loft).
