Magic without misdirection: can this premise work? Can we perform magical effects without the principles of misdirection? The answer seems YES. However, can misdirection enhance the impact of the magic being presented?
The 2nd SMC Magic Chalet was held at NSRCC from 20-22 Nov 07. It was a fun-filled magic extravaganza spanning 3 days 2 nights, with magic auctions, lectures, and of course, lots of jamming and sessioning! Here are some photos from the event.
