Magic By Misdirection

- by Enrico Varella
(Based on Bob Chua's Lecture on the 3rd February 2007 SMC Gathering)

[Enrico Varella is the founder and editor of The Quantum Ring, the official newsletter of IBM 115, Singapore since 1995. He has been published in The Linking Ring, and The Encyclopaedia of Card Forces (by Lewis Jones). He has received credit for his creation, the Tiepit (a jacket-less topit) in Bob Fitch's The Topit Workshop 3-DVD set (Kohler Magic).

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?

SMC Entertains at Silver Ribbon Project

On 29th July a Group of Brave Young Men stormed the rough weather and displayed their unearthly skills for everyone at the Silver Ribbon Project. The Silver Ribbon project was initiated to stamp out the stigma of mental patients so that they too have a place in our hearts and a position in our hurried lives.

This event is very different from the recent CCF that was held at Novena Square as this time we had to endure the heat and humidity of nature. The event started on a rainy note and it caused the floor to be wey and muddy. This was'nt the best situation to be in but we all managed to make the best out of it. Fortunately, mother nature was nice to us and the weather turned for the better.

This event brought together a number of new faces. Delvin, Csjoshi and Alexander. It was nice meeting all of you for the first time. You guys did a great job :) Cards, Coins, Rings, Rubber Bands, Sponge Balls and even Mouse Trap, you name it, we performed it. Nonetheless, the most popular effect of the day had to be Aloy's Pet Effect. Check out the photos at our SMC Website and see the reactions. It was so good, clean and simple. It slayed everyone whom he performed too. It was so good our ZiAn had to use it as well and he too got a good break out of it. Its such a simple effect but packs a big punch. Those you who were there, you'll know. Too bad we did'nt win our prize, although ZiAn was the closest but he was such a gentleman...

All in all, great jobs guys, I'm sure we have all done SMC proud and entertained everyone whom we approached. I like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to everyone, JCU students and staff who were there. Shade and his boys, Delvin, Sufi and Syafiq. Gordon, ZiAn, Gallen, Alexander, Csjoshi and our Mr SMC, Aloy. You guys and your big heart has made this event successful. Thank You... :)
