My First Time – So Don’t Make Me Cry.

FRIDAY, APRIL 11TH-7:30 PM (ADMISSION $15.00)-NINE SEATS LEFT!!!! IF YOU LIKE TO LAUGH, DON’T MISS THIS ONE!!!! CHRIS CAPEHART (FROM PHILADELPHIA) Here is one of today’s funniest and most entertaining magicians. I have tried to book Chris for a lecture here for years but his schedule is always so full. Well, we have him now. Chris grew up and got his training as a street performer in Philadelphia and now is booked on stages all over the country. His act just destroyed them at last year’s Abbott’s Magic Get Together in Colon, Michigan. Chris can work anywhere and with any kind of group. His children’s bits are a real scream and his adult work is top notch. Here is a general all around performer who will have something for everyone. You may recognize his name from the Chris Capehart Linking Ring Routine which has been published and is one of the finest three ring routines you will ever see. When he does the rings, he will fool even those who own a set and perform them. The best!!!

MONDAY, APRIL 14TH-7:30 PM (ADMISSION $30.00)-SIX SEATS LEFT!!! MARK WILSON (FROM THE LAND OF ALLAKAZAM) One of the most famous magicians of our time will be here to lecture and tell you all about his rise to television fame. Mark Wilson and Nani Darnell were the inspiration for magic on television. From the Magic Land of Allakazam to the Magic Circus TV Specials, they showed the world that magic on television works!! Here is your chance to meet this famous magician, get your autographs, and learn how it all happened. As a very special treat, Mark has agreed to give away to each person attending, a rare “Land of Allakazam” membership card. He found a few of these in one of his warehouses and will give one to each of you attending. Due to cost of airfares, this lecture will be a $30.00 lecture BUT, when will you ever get a chance to meet and talk with him in person again?? This is a great opportunity!!!

TUESDAY, APRIL 22ND-7:30 PM (Admission $20.00)-SOLD OUT-STANDBY ONLY!! PATRICK PAGE (FROM ENGLAND)

From England comes another true legend in magic. Patrick Page probably

knows more about magic than most any other living magician. We had Patrick here a few years back and he stayed for three days presenting two different lectures ach day. Yes, he knows that much. Our customers were raving about this man. He will only be doing one lecture on this particular evening and it is NOT to be missed.

MONDAY, APRIL 28TH-7:30 PM (ADMISSION $15.00)-(10 SEATS STILL AVAILABLE) MATHIEU BICH (FROM FRANCE) Mathieu Bich is only 23 year-old but he has already created a number of truly scary, original concepts and routines, most of them relying on new methods, new principles, or at least, a willingness to cheat like a crazy monkey. It can get frustrating sometimes as Mathieu loves to fool you with your own tricks based on a different method. He has frightened and intimidated a lot of knowledgeable and respected magicians. Some of them won?t leave the house now!

His lecture contains highly original material that you have never seen before: NEW EFFECTS (how to change the color of the buttons of your shirt, how to freeze time using an…

TUESDAY, APRIL 22ND-7:30 PM (Admission $20.00)-SOLD OUT-STANDBY ONLY!! PATRICK PAGE (FROM ENGLAND)

From England comes another true legend in magic. Patrick Page probably

His lecture contains highly original material that you have never seen before: NEW EFFECTS (how to change the color of the buttons of your shirt, how to freeze time using an ordinary hairband, etc.), NEW ROUTINES using original and unusual props, NEW CONCEPTS and METHODS for close-up and card magic (like this “visible twisting the aces” that you’ve never seen before, or his final word on the “travelling hole” concept), even parlor and mentalism! You will be fooled very badly! Mathieu Bich is different. He has an excuse though: he’s been one of Dominique Duvivier’s students since 1996. Or maybe it’s in his genes. Mathieu Bich has already made a few TV appearances and lectures in France and Europe, published a few of his ideas in Dominique Duvivier’s magazine (France) and Channel One (USA). This could either be a boon to mankind, or the beginning of the end! Keep an eye on that Bich!

TUESDAY, MAY 6TH-7:30 PM (ADMISSION $15.00)-NEW ADDITION!!! SEATS AVAILABLE GARRETT THOMAS (FROM BUFFALO) I have been waiting to book this lecturer ever since I saw him at the IBM Convention in Buffalo, New York a few years ago. He simply performed some of the most amazing close up magic I had ever seen. You may recognize his name from his video, “Any Questions.” This is the guy who does that unbelievable large coin and purse routine that I raved about when describing the video on my website. Straight from the Fechter part of the country, this man is an unbelievable close up worker. This will be a sell out!!!

SATURDAY, MAY 31ST-7:30 PM (ADMISSION $15.00)-SOLD OUT-STANDBY ONLY!! JAY SANKEY (FROM ANOTHER WORLD)

We had Jay lecture here a few years ago and to say it was different would be an understatement. This guy is really “out there.” Unusual style and fantastic magic with coins, cards, etc. His videos and DVDs are continuous “best-sellers” and he has become one of America’s most well known performers. A comedy club comedian by profession, his comedy and off the wall presentations will create a memorable evening for all those who attend.

SATURDAY, JUNE 7TH

SHOOT OGAWA AND APPOLLO ROBBINS (DOUBLE LECTURE AND WORKSHOP) This will be quite a treat for a Saturday. These two guys have been “kickin’ butt” wherever they go. I have seen both the last time I was performing at the Magic Castle and I have to say, they are both just full of surprises. We are lucky to have them for both a workshop session in the afternoon and a lecture in the evening.

WORKSHOP-3:00 PM-$30.00 ADMISSION

This “hands on” workshop will be limited to only 20 people. Appollo Robbins will take you through some incredible coin work including his new handling of the coins and purse frame routine. Shoot Ogawa will teach you some personal handlings of his Jumbo Coin work. Of course there will be much more in this workshop but this coin work is just incredible. Here is a chance to get some real work from these two guys.

LECTURE-7:30 PM-$25.00

A double lecture from Shoot Ogawa and Appollo Robbins. Of course Shoot Ogawa will be doing his famous Ninja Rings routine as well as much of his fantastic coin work. Appollo Robbins will be concentrating on his theory of performance including his “movement of spectators” and much of his body work based on Aikido and Dance. Now this may sound strange but when you see it you will understand completely what he is talking about. Spectator management is a very important subject in the performance of magic. His pickpocketing work has to be seen to be believed. I just can’t tell you in words how good it is.

SPECIAL-ATTEND BOTH THE WORKSHOP AND THE LECTURE FOR $50.00. MAKE A FULL DAY OF IT. WORRY ABOUT THE DIVORCE LATER.

TUESDAY, JUNE 10TH-7:30 PM (ADMISSION-$15.00)

DAVID SOLOMON (FROM CHICAGO)

We had David Solomon booked earlier in the year and he had to cancel due to the snowstorm. We have finally rescheduled this performer. He is one of the “Chicago” boys and I’m sure most of you are familiar with his books and marketed card effects. A serious student of Ed Marlo, you will see some incredible card work from this well known magician.
