Free And Easy The evening was attended by approximately twenty members and informal and relaxed. There was plenty of time for members to socialise, talk about magic and perform some close-up tricks. Whilst some members preferred to listen and watch, others performed their tricks, all were seated around a large table.

Rex Stott impressed Karen with a rope trick routine which he has been working on. Arthur Setterington demonstrated the versatility of everyday objects in magic as he performed a clever trick using his belt. Tom Wilkinson and Alan Johnston entertained Sylvia Harrop with a gambling trick using a looped chain. Ron Thompson performed a trick with a borrowed ring and a handkerchief. Malcolm Bromwich showed an elaborate card trick. One advantage of this evening was that members were willing to repeat their tricks a number of times when requested, providing the opportunity for those interested to learn the method.
