Guest invitation to the Magic Castle, September 2023
There is a good chance that I will be in Los Angeles the week of September 3, 2023 and I would love the chance to visit the Magic Castle. There would be two of us.
What is the best way to get an invitation?
Thanks.
Richard

Silk to egg, no jacket handling
Hi! I have been doing Ammar's handling of the silk to egg with sucker explanations for 30+ years. I have a series of summer shows coming up and I would like to find a handling that does not requires wearing a jacket. I will wear a vest with my sleeves rolled-up.

Peter Rosengren shakes the cup to "make the sound appear", explaining that when you hear the ball, you can feel the ball.
