Lee Earle lecture
Lee Earle has spread his love for Mentalism by presenting hundreds of lectures in
just about every English speaking country in the world, and in quite a few others
- with the help of translators.
Earle’s lectures go well beyond ‘teaching tricks’ and focus on modeling an example from which other performers can learn the real work:
• Performance technique
• Platform skills
• Psychology of presentation
• Supporting a performance premise
• Delivery of humor
• Directed attention (misdirection)
• Professional attitude
• Audience handling
• Selecting the best material for every performance style
•...and more!
Magic clubs and enthusiasts are the pool from which Mentalism draws new, fresh
talent - and every lecture is packed with real-world advice, ideas, and concepts
that have helped numerous entertainers make their move into this lucrative specialty.
His unique teaching style divides the lecture into multiple individual segments
- each of which includes performance, explanation (while the material is fresh in
the audience’s minds), discussion, and advocacy - putting the emphasis on simplicity, practical methods, and personality-driven presentations.

My Monthly Musings
Jim Harris, President
It looks as if the weather has finally taken a turn for the better. Temperatures
will be in the 70’s next week, and over the
next three months we will ease in to summer.
Punxsutawney Phil hit the nail on the head
with his 6 weeks of winter prediction – Louisville had two accumulating snowfalls, and
now as it melts we are dealing with flooding
issues. Sherrell and Sherman will have their
work cut out for them cleaning up their river
homes.
We have another great lecture lined up
for April 23, Lee Earle. And in May we will
host Mark Comley, a member of the Lexington club. I don’t know what Mark will talk
about, but he’s always selling magic on the
internet – so be sure to bring some extra money!

From the Editor:
“Random Thoughts”
The Live Magic Expo by
Penguin Magic was an awesome
event. The event registration only
cost $10 and you received a $10 voucher to spend with
one of the dealers. I ended up spending well over $100
when all was said and done but had a really good time.
I met several people who had never heard of the Louisville Magic Club and certainly invited them to our next
meeting.
The officers are working on promoting club
membership so if you know someone who has a genuine interest in magic, or a former member we haven’t
seen in a while please invite them to come to our meetings and get active in the Louisville Magic Club.
The March Meeting had Eric Jones, a young
man who was an excellent coin magician and was very
good at teaching us some sleight of hand with those
coins. He asked us to take out our coins and learn there
on the spot and he even shared coins with those who
didn’t have any. He made sure everyone could do what
he was teaching before moving forward. It was a good
lecture and he was very entertaining!
Derby City Magic continues with magic shows
the last Saturday of every month, at The Laughing
Derby - if you want to perform on this show contact
Darrin Pearl aka Frankie Foolya at 812-288-7226. This
Month will be the antics of Ray “Magic” Adams and
next month will be Brad and Grace Lowe - it’s always
a good show for $10 a person!
Always a lot of magic going on around us, so
stay tuned. Michele and I will miss the Lee Earle Lecture as we’ll be celebrating our 25th wedding Anniversary, so we’ll see you in May!
Michael
