       This month we will meet at Christ Church United Methodist - 35 State Street, Troy, NY 12180.

                              Thank You
 
  Cliff Bruce and Dave Mc Clements for the Storytelling Magic presentation.  Cliff had a lot of great insight on Storytelling or Bizarre Magick.
He did give us a list of resources that could be looked up.  He did have a number of the books there that night.  Notable info is that magicians should also learn to "act", perform not just do tricks.  A story line, stage presence just to mention a couple, can be added to how the magician performs.  I hope you made that meeting. I don't do it justice to write about it here.
 
 
The open mic after the break was some fun stuff. And, of course, Pete Beeble ended up with some scary Halloween magic that he's been working on.
