Geoff Williams Lecture

Geoff Williams presented a lecture to Ring 50 members and guests. Geoff is a full time comedy magic entertainer who is known for cutting edge sleight of hand illusions mixed with an offbeat, zany sense of humor. He covered techniques and ideas for “Sausage Finger Illusion”, Electrical Artlet”, “Miracle Coin Vanish”, “I Hate David Copperfield” Trick, “Kewpie”, “Devastation”, and the popular “Everything's a Radio”. Overall this was a very good lecture and Geoff was an excellent very personal presenter and everyone enjoyed all the effects that he presented.

Magi-Whirl 2012 Loaded with Education and Fun!

“The best little convention in the National Capital Area”
Everyone is still recovering from the International Brotherhood of Magicians, National Capital Ring 50, Magi-Whirl 2012 that was held on April 13 & 14, 2012. There were four lectures, three close-up performances, and a Gala evening show. Magi-Whirl was held at Bishop Ireton High School, 201 Cambridge Rd, Alexandria VA. Magicians from around the Mid-Atlantic region came to Magi-Whirl 2012, and had a great time hanging out with other magicians and people devoted to magic. They learned a ton of new tricks, ideas, presentations, and of course seen some great performances and lecturers.

George Saterial, Gustavo Raley, Ken Scott, Aldo & Rachel Colombini and Noland Montgomery were the Lecturers and Performers for this great event!
