MONKEY BUSINESS

Moving on to our social portion of the meeting, the following compeers entertained us with their contributions to the evenings theme -- Here, There and Everywhere. (The following is an abbreviated report of the performances.)

Our President, James Munton, performed his rendition of the 3-shell game using Karl Norman's set of brass cups. Nicely done James.

Our President of Vice, Hugh Turley, directed us using the "crazy arrow" and then related a story about his acquaintance "Farky Hollis" and a correct prediction.

Larry Lipman, caused 4 Kings and 4 Queens to change with 4 Jacks and back again as he performed "Royal Robbers."

Ray Eyler, Performed both phases of Larry West's "4 of a Kind". Trying to find a selected card seemingly missed on 4 tries, however, in the end the selected card was found among the 3 cards of the same value.

Noland Montgomery, apparently tore his newspaper before our eyes only to show that it was really whole in his presentation of "No Tear."

Lee Eyler, regaled us with a presentation of the "Amazing Jumping Arrow."

Nicholas Miller, presented "No Where. . .Then Right There" a Dunbury Delusion.

Max Eyler, caused circles to become squares in his performance of KeeWest's "Squared Circles."

Matt Hiller, Performed "Colorfusion" a torn & restored card effect where the partially restored card's matching torn corner was of a different color.

Lars Klores, presented "Everywhere & Nowhere on a Tricycle."

Dwight Redman, caused the penetration of three quarters.

The meeting was adjourned to the Reliable Source for further individual chatter and magic.
