A common phrase used by impressed laymen to a good magician is a sheepish "I will never play cards with you".

How does one be be proficient enough in card magic to be credited with such awestruck respect? In essence, a tall building requires a strong foundation and a doctor needs  good knowledge about medicine. Thus, an entertaining magician needs to be able to perform his card routines well and without hesitation.

Axl's TOP 4 Reasons to attend this gathering:
 

Why attend:

1. Chance for you to fellowship with new friends in the magic circle. People whom you can talk, breathe and live magic with. People whom you can sought expert advice on how to make your magic even more magical. Ooh..

2. You get to tap the wisdom of Uncle Bob and maybe Enrico. For those who had seen them at the chalet or at the Micro Convention, you will know how good they are. Imagine have them teaching you a thing or two, live in person. That's equivalent of having Ronaldinho coaching you in football skills!

3. We'll break up into small groups after the main lecture where we will reinforce on what was taught. Making sure that you derive the maximum value from the event, instead of just the usual "see-and-forget" workshop. In addition, you get to show off your skills at this small group session!

4. Last but not least, yes, I just have to say this, you (might) get to see NING!!


I think we can all agree that they're VERY VERY good reasons. smile.gif

Remember guys, this is a rare opportunity - Uncle Bob's a FULL TIME working performer. He is one of the most successful working magicians in Singapore. You can learn a thing or two just by spending a few minutes talking with him. He is truly a tome of magic wisdom. For those of you who missed the chalet, don't miss him now - you'll see for yourselves first-hand that he lives up to his rep.

He has very graciously agreed to spend the entire afternoon with us after his show at Toa Payoh Library that afternoon.


So see yall there!

Things to Note:
To encourage everyone to take home something valuable with them, the mods have decided to adopt a theme and focus for the gathering. This will help us to retain and learn something as opposed to the usual plain jam and scram type of session. Half the time you really don't learn anything at those sessions. So the first half of the session is designed to be focused.

The second half is less formal and more interactive - we mingle and do learn more. But don't come expecting to learn NEW effects. We are here to REFINE your current work. So DO come prepared with an effect that you're already competent at and plan to improve or refine. That will guarantee that you get maximum value for your time spent at this gathering! biggrin.gif

SHADE
PS: For those of you who've been at our gatherings before, we look forward to seeing you guys again!

Those of you who've not been to any gatherings as yet and are simply lurking in the shadows, I have this to say:

TAKE A CHANCE - COME DOWN TO THIS MEETING.

BE A MAN! (Add Hongkie accent here)

Seriously, come on down. We don't bite! smile.gif
