Will Fern, who is one of the area's busiest and most solid working pros, also regularly performs at the Magic Castle and at Dickens Parlour Theater. He'll be teaching some of the strongest effects from his repertoire including the card piece that he has used consistently as the opener in his Magic Castle act and the coin routine that won him the title of strolling magic champion at International Brotherhood of Magicians competition. Ricky Smith is known in inner magic circles for his graceful, innovative, and very proficient sleight-of-hand with cards. He has released several videos through Dan and Dave, who also published his book, Nothing as It Seems. Ricky will present a version of the well-received lecture that he recently gave at the Golden Gate Gathering in San Francisco. Shoot Ogawa is an internationally-recognized, award-winning magician who will teach several of his signature effects including the Ninja Rings, color changing thimbles, wands, coin matrix and much more. George Schindler, who is National Dean of the Society of American Magicians, is organizing a program on Houdini which will include performances, film footage, and historical commentary. The event will be held the day following the Assembly's annual visit to Houdini's grave site.

Attendance at these events is is available to Parent Assembly members as part of their regular club dues. Non-members of the S. A. M may attend the lectures for $25 each. Members of other S. A. M. assemblies may attend for $20 each (other events during the year, such as the Houdini presentation, are for members only). The September 10 meeting will be held at Fantasma Magic, 421 Seventh Avenue, Third Floor (enter on 33rd Street). The lectures began at approximately 8 p.m., following the Assembly's regular business meetings which start at 7:15.
