RobPotts and I had a couple of drinks on Tuesday 23rd September 2014, and shared our recent magical experiments. Rob has been studying Max Maven lately, and showed off a few card tricks and something he'd been doing with poker chips, as well as a simple-but-ingenous gimmick that makes disappearing and appearing a stack of coins easy. Meanwhile, I demonstrated the features of the DAO stack and showed off the latest thing I've been doing with flashpaper (burning holes in playing cards!), and reverse-engineered the mathematical principles of a couple of mathematical deck-shuffling tricks.
We were hoping to see some of Oxford's newest magi, but didn't spot any. Later, we talked about moving the venue in accordance with
TheGroover's suggestion - to which end:
How do people feel if next month (Tuesday 21st October 2014) we meet at the Lamb & Flag, St. Giles? It's somewhat more-central, which might make getting there by car a little tougher, but it'll be (a) easier for those of us who rely on bikes and/or public transport and also (b) might help to circumvent TheGroover's issue with Greene King pubs.
Thanks for a fun night, Rob!
