Introducing our lecturer Richard Sanders, Eddie Dawes said Richard had lectured all over the world, including FISM, and worked as a corporate entertainer with a worthy reputation.Richard opened his talk with a number of eye catching card effects. The first was ‘Behind my back’ using a novel Riffle Force, followed by several different uses of a sticky card. Members applauded the demonstration and the explanations. Richard then moved on to an impromptu coin effect followed by a multiple bill switch. We then saw Slow Burn and Fibre Optics a development of Richard’s Three Ropes and a Baby routine, with a number of new moves and ideas.Throughout his talk Richard ensured we understood the subtleties of his presentation, and his off beat humour. Eddie Dawes thanked Richard on a wonderful evening of stunning magic. Judging by his DVD sales the members and guests certainly agreed.
