TEACH-IN FEATURES MAGIC YOU CAN USE

    Get a crash course in easy-to-perform tricks using cards, coins,

rope and ring tricks, and mentalism at the Wednesday, Sept. 4 meeting.

The popular Ring 50 Teach-In will be conducted by members Sam Brothers,

Mike Peckham, John Roberts and Augie Arnstein.

The instructors will provide written instructions covering their tricks

and sleights.

To get more out of the evening, members should bring their own deck of

cards, Three large--half or old dollar--coins (and a matching shell if

you have one), a few feet of rope or string, a large ring (a few inches

in diameter if possible) and paper and pen/pencil.

The instructors may provide some props, but probably not enough for 

everyone.

All members will see all four instructors.

The lecture is free to Ring 50 paid-up members. All other magicians may attend the lecture for a $20 fee.

Ray Kosby to Lecture June 7th

    Ray Kosby is one of the most creative close-up magicians you will see. He comes up with original and often offbeat effects and his methods are just as wild. The strength behind his magic is that his routines will fool you. Audiences gasp at his effects -- when they are not speechless all they can say is, WOW! He will absolutely fool you.

You will learn how Ray accomplishes some of these impossibilities. His card magic is quick, visual, and is guaranteed to have a powerful impact on any audience. Ray has been a magic creator and hobbyist for decades. His routines are very creative in both effect and method.

          His effects are direct and often visual. If your magic skills include sleight of hand, you will find something to use. The skill level ranges from basic to are you kidding. Ray has lectured in Great Britain, France, Japan, Portugal, Spain, and the United States. His material has been published in DVDs, books and magazines.

The lecture will be held at Hampton Inn and Suites, 5821 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA at 7:30 PM. The lecture is free to Ring 50 paid-up members. All other magicians may attend the lecture for a $20 fee.
