Theme - Trifecta Magic
June celebrates Father's Day, Egg Day and Pudding Day. We couldn't pick one, so we are doing all three.
Last month we celebrated the ladies, so this month you can celebrate the men. You can do a trick with Kings (cards), stories about fathers, etc.
Egg Day magic could include silk to egg, egg bag routines, and MANY more.
Pudding Day magic could be... I'm excited to see what your imaginations will come up with. Let your imagination go wild!
You get bonus points if you do a trick that combines all three.
This should be exciting, imaginative and very creative evening of magic.
As always, ANY magic that you want to do will be great. Come, have a good time, have some fun and perform.

Gustavo Raley has an amazing resume of magic.
He won four awards during the same convention at FLASOMA 98.

The key points of Gustavo Raley's lecture, "The Creative Process," include:
Techniques for Developing Magic Tricks: Gustavo shares methods he uses to create magic effects, including the technique of bisociation, with interactive exercises for attendees to develop new tricks.
Camouflage of Magic Props: Insights on making magic props appear more natural and why this is important.
Finding Inspiration and Turning Ideas into Reality: Exploring how to evolve classic magic effects for the modern era.
Protecting Ideas and Addressing Piracy: Discussion on safeguarding creative concepts and coexisting with the piracy market.
Experiencing Gustavo's Effects: Attendees get to learn about and experience some of Gustavo's magic creations firsthand.
Creative Collaboration: Insights into Gustavo's work with the Disney creative team to develop a magic reality show.
You will not only learn theoretical concepts but also learn some of the magic effects created by Gustavo.
