The
May 7th meeting was the
event of the year, the competition for the Dan Lacey Memorial Trophy and the
title “Magician of the Year”. The late Dan Lacey was a president of Ring
50 (1999-2000) who inspired others--especially newcomers to magic—to hone their
skills. The contest provided an opportunity to recognize the exceptional magic skills
of our members. Larry Lipman (president 2002-03) established the contest in
2003 to honor the deceased magician. The winner received a rotating trophy and
a spot to perform at the 2015 Ring 50 Magi-Whirl and a free convention
registration.
The contestants were: Rick Beatty, Reggie Rice, Stan Hillard, Arnold
Fuoco, Dr. Bob Carnathan, Tom Beutner, Eric Henning, and Dwight Redman. After
some stellar performances that amazed the Ring 50 members, the panel of judges declared the winner. Eric Henning
had the top score!
Second place went to Reggie Rice with third place Arnold Fuoco adding
to the fierce completion. CONGRATULATIONS ERIC!
