Classic and Silent Night - 30TH JUNE 2005

11 October 2005

TONIGHT WAS A CHANGE TO THE USUAL MEETING BECAUSE CLASSICS ARE A SIDE OF MAGIC WHICH MANY MAGICIANS FIND DIFFICULT TO DO. THE CLASSICS OF MAGIC ARE THE FOUNDATION OF MAGIC TODAY AND SILENT MAGIC TO MUSIC IS A CHALLENGE TO PRESENT.

THE EVENING STARTED WITH MIKE IN A CATCHY MOOD, PERFORMING COIN PRODUCTIONS TO THE SOUND OF "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY."

THEN IT WAS ON TO THE FIRST CLASSIC TRICK, THE CUPS AND BALLS PERFORMED BY GEOFF HUNT IN HIS OWN STYLE.

THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A SECOND VERSION BY MIKE JUST TO SHOW HOW MANY WAYS AN EFFECT CAN BE PRESENTED.

NEXT IT WAS BACK TO MUSIC AND MIKE PERFORMED HIS ROUTINE OF SKELETON IN THE CUPBOARD TO, OF ALL THINGS, MOZARTS REQUIEM!

GEOFF THEN TOOK THE STAGE AGAIN TO PERFORM A VERY CREDITABLE VERSION OF THIMBLE MANIPULATION, AND THE 1 ST HALF CLOSED WITH THE BALL VASE BY MIKE.

THE SECOND HALF OPENED WITH MIKE PERFORMING EDWARD VICTOR'S ELEVEN CARD TRICK WHICH WAS RECEIVED VERY WELL AND PRODUCED MUCH COMMENT.

THE CHARMING MAGIC OF BRENDA NEXT TOOK THE STAGE AS SHE PRESENTED HER VERSION OF THE RIBBONS TO FLAG IN NEWSPAPER WHICH SHE PERFORMED ON THE QE2, THUS MAKING HER THE FIRST LADY MAGICIAN TO PERFORM ON THE LINER! SHE FOLLOWED WITH DIE THROUGH SILK, FLIP FLAP PHANTASY, AND ENDED WITH DIE TO FLOWERS, ALL
PRESENTED TO THE ACCOMPANIMENT OF MUSIC WRITTEN BY ROBERTO DENAVA.

MIKE THEN SHOWED THE DIA VERNON VERSION OF THE LINKING RINGS AND THEN IT WAS TIME TO FINISH, WITH GEOFF PRESENTING HIS WELL PRODUCED AND ENTERTAINING CARD PRODUCTIONS.

THE EVENING WAS SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AND WAS A PLEASURE TO PERFORM.
