Angelo’s On Main

Rockledge Golf Course

289 South Main St.

W. Hartford, CT

What is a Scotch Auction you ask?

This is not an auction of magical scotch.

The seller sets a starting price for the item and the lowest bid that will be accepted. The auctioneer then works backwards until the item is sold or the low bid is reached.

Bring your magical treasures to be sold or lots of money to bid on the treasurers of our compeers and join us for a fun evening.

Guests welcome!

The auctioneer will be our Dean, Bob Killian.

10% of the proceeds will go to our assembly.

BLiNK!™ - An Incredible Evening of Award-Winning Magic!

 November 27 and 28, 2009

Witness for yourself the magic that takes place in the BLiNK of an eye!   

 

WHERE:  November 27 & 28th, 2009 - The Music Hall

 Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

 

November 27 - 8pm full-evening performance

November 28 - 11am (abbreviated, 1-hour performance)

 

LINK:   http://www.themusichall.org/calendar/event_detail.asp?eventID=736

This high-energy stage production stars twice honored, "Comedy Magician of the Year!", Chipper Lowell, who has appeared on The Tonight Show, The Disney Channel and the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.  Chipper's unusual brand of original "laugh-out-loud!" magic and improv will have audiences of all ages rolling in the aisles.  "Feverish, Frenetic & Hilarious!" sez the Los Angeles Times.

 

Joining Chipper onstage are a trio of world-class magical artists.  "Female Magician of the Year", JADE, seamlessly blends traditional chinese conjuring with modern magic effects to present a one-of-a-kind performance.  Jade was also honored with the Gold Medal of Magic by the International Magicians Society, and the Golden Mandrake Award in France.  She recently appeared on the "Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson" on CBS.

 

There is a very good chance that master magician Christopher Hart has the most famous hand in the entire world.  An unusual statement to say the least, but it makes total sense when you realize he played the part of “Thing” in all of the highly-successful “Addams Family” movies.  Hart was also twice recognized as “Magician of the Year” by the Magic Castle’s Academy of Magical Arts.  Other awards include the top prize at the “Grand Prix Magique” held in Monte Carlo, which was presented to Chris by none other than Princess Stephanie.  Hart's performance is a highly visual treat for the eyes!

 

Rounding out this stellar cast is the art and illusions of Joe Devlin - The "Matador of Magic".   Devlin has entertained audiences all over the world with his mind-boggling magical routines and illusions.  He has also appeared on the television soap opera "All My Children", and has garnered dozens of awards for his incredible act, including "The Merlin Award" from the International Magicians Soceity, and "Magician of the Year" from the Society of American Magicians in New York.

 

BLiNK! is unlike any other magic show out there, as these high-caliber "artists of the impossible" unleash their original brand of comedy, magic, and illusion.  Young and old alike will thoroughly enjoy this wonderful evening of wonder!  

 

Just remember, whatever you do.... Don't BLiNK!

Assembly No. 174 News

 

S.A.M. #174 member, Bob Longsdale has moved into an assisted living facility and is no longer able to use any of his magic props. He may keep a few books but not much more than that. We've missed Bob's humor and his dedication to the art of magic at recent meetings, and hope he is comfortable in his new home. (His daughter Linda hopes to assist him and possibly attend some meeting in the future.)

 

Cards, and well wishes can be sent to:

Bob Longsdale

Apt. 17

100 Harvard Drive

Saco Maine 04072

 

    His books and props will be available at the annual Tri-State Magic Auction held in Portsmouth each year. EBay and other sources may garner more cash for Bob, but the quickest/easiest way is the auction to get a fair price. If you are interested in his collection, please plan to attend the auction next spring. (I will send out more information on the auction when it becomes available)

 

Sincerely,

Scot Grassette
