My Monthly Musings
Jim Harris, President
In an episode of the TV show Seinfeld, Jerry does an impression of a magician.
“Here’s a quarter, now it’s gone, you’re stupid”. Some people feel that magicians just
want to make them feel stupid or embarrass them. If you approach someone and say
“would you like to see a trick”, some people
will even say no.
Change your approach to get them interested before doing any serious magic. I have
a finger puppet that looks like a bird head
– if you approach people with this they are
immediately interested in what you have in
your hand. After the bird vanishes, you have
their attention, and you can get on with the
“show”. I also use a fire wallet on occasion to
peak people’s interest.
Once you’ve done a few tricks, finish with
something engaging and fun, having one or
more audience members involved in the effect. This was one of David Hira’s key points
when he lectured a few months ago. When
you walk away, you want your audience saying “Wow, that was fun”, and not “Wow, I
sure feel stupid”.

From the Editor:
“Random Thoughts”
Well I have my tickets for
the Magic and the Wonder, do you
have yours? There are plenty of great
seats available so get them now tickets are going fast
- remember to enter code Kosair to get a discount!
Last month I mentioned the officers are working on promoting club membership. We will have a
table at the Magic and Wonder Show and will be trying to speak to those interested in magic, 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.
Derby City Magic continues with magic shows
the last Saturday of every month, at The Laughing
Derby on Bardstown Road. If you want to perform
on this show contact Darrin Pearl aka Frankie Foolya
at 812-288-7226. This Month will be Brad and Grace
Lowe - it’s always a good show for $10 a person!
Our Lecturer this month is Mark Comley and
I seriously don’t know how he has the time to come
lecture for us - this man is always performing. If you
follow him on FaceBook he is always posting magic
for sale and always posting photos of his performances
- this guy is a real working professional in Kentucky
and will be sharing some of his knowledge with us plus he is an all around great and funny guy - so you
don’t want to miss it.
See you there!
Michael
