THE EGG-BAG-JANUARY 2008 ISSUE
Monthly Newsletter of the Larry West Assembly No. 23 Society of American Magicians
The Larry West Assembly meets the 3rd Wednesday every month at the National Press Club, at 14th and F Streets, N.W. in Washington, D.C.
Join us for magic, fun and fellowship. Cocktails start at 6 p.m., dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting at 8 p.m. Dress code: please remember that the Assembly is a guest of the National Press Club. Gentlemen should dress business casual or better–no Tee-shirts, shorts, jeans or flip-flops to the dinner meetings. Ladies should dress correspondingly appropriately.
OUR NEXT MEETING – JANUARY 16, 2008
Theme for this meeting:
The suggested theme is “Love Story,” so dust off your favorite Valentine-day trick and give it a trial-run at the meeting. Or, just “show us what you want to show us,” which is to say, perform a work in progress (no Valentine-day theme) or showcase a favorite routine.
MINI-LECTURE:
This month’s topic: “Fantasy in Silk.” Presenter, Phil Milstead, will teach some silk productions as well as the nuts-and-bolts of silk folding and preparation that is essential to the production of anything from a 12 inch silk to a 6-foot square foulard. Phil suggests that members bring 4 or 5 silks, mostly 12” and 18” for a hands-on practice session.
If there is a topic you would like to see covered, or a topic you would like to volunteer to teach, please e-mail your suggestion to Larry Lipman at: lorenzomagic@cox.net. Remember, the idea behind our mini-lectures is that one member will spend 5 to 10 minutes at each meeting demonstrating a move, a technique or a trick and teach the rest of us.
FUTURE THEMES:
February-“Show us what you want to show us”
March-“Show us what you want to show us”
April-“Annual Close-up Show”
May-“Show us what you want to show us”
