Prop Swop
13th October
Whether you specialise in Children’s magic, Close-Up or Stage – we ask everyone to bring a couple of tricks. One of which you can teach a fellow member.
As an example: John Duckett could be paired with Mark Chudley. John might be taught the McDonald’s Aces, followed by Mark doing Run Rabbit Run.
We will make random pairings of everyone in the room. Given a few minutes to explain the mechanics, techniques, routine and performance.
Then we show our new found skills (or not) to the whole group.
Magic Flix

Prior to the evening, members are requested to submit a favourite YouTube clip, lasting approximately 5 minutes.
On the night, each in turn will be asked to explain why they have chosen the clip before we show it to the group.
Fool Us
