Ring 211 Ring Report Randy Vander Wal
Ring 211 February 2010 Report Gil Scott presented our February workshop. It was an extension on a previous workshop. His focus was for magicians to take a magic trick, analyze it, and make it better. He gave us examples of such a development by performing The Parade of Kings, to Trost's The Deuce You Say, to Maven's Bee Wave. He pointed out the the difference of the "kicker" ending each of these tricks. He shared with us his variation on Bee Wave using the choice of a whole deck selection with use of an envelope and then using a z-fold wallet. He also presented his version using larger jumbo cards and a large envelope and how to make the envelope to appear empty with use of a "window." He closed his workshop having Rick Merrill join him in performing Twisted Sister using two large packets of playing cards. Tonight was Mentalism Night with Gil Scott as the chairperson. I opened the show with a book test using the roll of two dice and a pocket dictionary (Elmwood Magic). MagicBob Zoerman revealed the prediction of a person's chosen card by way of a tattoo on his arm. The tattoo being produced by our own Raven Keckler. Dave Bogdan attempted to detect if a spectator's ring was made of real gold by putting it through a grinder box. Oops. To our relief, it was found completely unharmed with a newly shine from inside a tea bag. Dennis Favreau presented Zodiac Code (Aldo & Rachel Colombini), then mentally matched a two digit number between 1 and 100, and only to repeat the revelation for a five digit number between 1 and 100,000. Glenn Eberhardt had four court cards named and one chosen. He used himself as a medium to have Jesse Shira reveal the card chosen. Brad Lancaster had SuZie Zoerman think of a person and he revealed her thought. Brian Vander Kolk had a random number of matches taken out of a match booklet along with a selected ESP card symbol chosen. More matches were taken out and used as a magic number for the dealing of the ESP cards to the predicted symbol which was referred to a note matching the number of matches remaining in the packet. Rick Merrill closed the show by performing Psyching You Out (Tom Craven) with his comic wit. A dollar bill was placed in one of three purses and correctly chosen by the spectator but to our surprise we were "psyched" when the other two purses had each a one hundred dollar bill. Another night of magic and fun. We thank Gil for the workshop and program as well as our performers. --Randy Vander Wal
