Andy, Gary and I got together last night and played with flash cotton, B**** W*** gimmicked decks, and mysterious tubs full of water. We attracted a few stares from the couple playing rummy on the table next to us, who presumably at first thought that we, like them, were just there for a game of cards! We compared DL technique and practiced a handful of elastic band tricks. Later, we attempted to come up with a routine of illusions based on a theme of traditional large stage tricks (sawing a woman in half, the sword cabinet with costume change, catching a bullet, etc.) but performed in ultra-small scale using everyday office equipment (scissors, hole punch, stapler, pencils, etc.). Fun was had by all, and in a spectacular finish, we made a significant amount of beer "disappear".
For our last meeting of the year we've opted to pull the date forward by a week to avoid Christmas. And so, our next meeting will be -
Tuesday 16th December 2014, 7:15pm onwards
Lamb & Flag, St. Giles, Oxford [map]See you there! Would be great to see some of the new Oxford-based folks that have started cropping up on the forum, too!
