Ring 101 Magic Sale & Auction

Posted by on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 in Upcoming Events | 0 comments

We are trying something new this year at our regular November (2nd) meeting at the Rome VFW — a magic sale and auction. Bring your magic before 7pm and set it out on a table for sale from 7pm to 7:30pm. Then sharply at 7:30pm we will conclude sales, and you can either pick 5 of your remaining items, or group all your remaining items into 5 lots for sale. Then at 7:45pm, we will hold a magic auction, with 10% of the proceeds going to Ring 101.

We expect to have several new and lightly used items from Flower the Clown for this event.

Lance Pierce

Ring 101 welcomes Lance Pierce on October 19th, 2011 for a magic lecture!
The lecture will be held at Denny’s in Rome, NY at 7pm.
Join us at 5:30pm for dinner before the lecture.

Lance Pierce is a performer, author, editor, teacher, creator, consultant, and magician specializing in the practice of sleight of hand in close-up and platform venues. He was a featured entertainer at the world-famous Malone’s Magic Bar at the Boca Resort and Hotel in Boca Raton, Florida, and is a prolific writer of books, booklets, magazine articles, and essays.

A lecture with Lance Pierce is like a table-side conversation, a session, an exploration of effects both close-up and platform. It’s a discussion about sophisticated magic at its root level with every detail exposed in a relaxed and easy-going manner. During any given talk, you may see tricks using cards, coins, silks, knives, rings, or anything else. What you’ll see are effects that have been honed over decades of experimentation and analysis. You’ll get the reasons behind everything and everything behind the reasons. The content may run the gamut from platform stand-up routines to bar magic to formal close-up table effects. There’s surely something for everyone.
