Alain Nu to Lecture February 6

    Alain Nu’s lecture combines his own power to amaze and creates a riveting performance of clairvoyance, psychokinetic movement & thought control. Unlike the usual “magician,” Alain is truly different. His presentations are conducted in a fun, off-beat, highly interactive style which include weird communication, oracular thinking, synchronicity, self-fulfilling prophecies, & show casing the rarely seen act of effortlessly mutating keys, silverware, & other metal objects with the powers of his mind. Being a full-time working mentalist, speaker, & author, Alain will share some of his most cleverly guarded secrets & ideas.

Members Perform at January 2nd Ring 50 Meeting

The January 2^nd meeting will have 10 Ring 50 members reach into the past and do something that has endured the years and become a "classic of magic".  

Yes that's right; we will have a membership performance night with the theme being "classics of magic".   Each performer will not only present their classic magic effect but give a minute or two of historical perspective. This is a chance as magicians to not only see some fine magic but also learn a little about the trick's history.  

So get on your time machine and let's go back "to the day when"…   

Ring 50 meets at the Holiday Inn, 2460 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA.
