Many are new items, books, DVDs, and some are revisions or modifications to classic magic effects. This will be a good chance to see a demo of an item you saw advertise and wanted to know more about it.

The Elegance, the Artistry, the Wonder

     Jay Scott Berry is a modern day Merlin and Renaissance man, widely recognized as one of the world's finest magicians. He has travelled the globe delighting audiences with an elegant, sophisticated style that can best be described as “Pure Magic”. What sets him apart from almost every other magician is that he performs original illusions that actually "look like real magic".

    In this new lecture, Jay pushes the frontiers of the Art even further with powerful magic that is both practical and versatile. Everything in the lecture is directly from his personal “A” list of effects and, as such, is time-tested in real world conditions. His original methods are ultra-smooth, starting clean and ending clean.

     Ring 50 meets at Bishop Ireton High School, 201 Cambridge Road, Alexandria, VA at 7:30 PM. The lecture is free for Ring 50 members and all other magicians are welcome to attend for a $15 fee.
