Martyn James our host for the evening opened the entertainment using Bob Cassidy’s Chronologue.The first guest to be introduced was Alan Richards. Alan gave us his advice on the Invisible Deck and his top tips were ‘don’t waste money on magic’ and ‘keep it simple’.The second guest was Norman Hornsby who talked about his children’s magic show routines and his top tip was to ‘be bold and visual’.The next guest was Alan Hudson who performed a short close-up set that had the trademarks of its professional use. Alan’s top tip was to ‘think about what tricks impress lay people’.Martyn then introduced Mark Huntley who performed Sean Bogunia’s Ultimate Dancing Hank which he had clearly spent many hours practicing. Mark’s top tips were to ‘think about your setting’ lighting, backdrops, microphones etc.Following a short break all of this evening’s guests gathered at the front for a question and answer session where members put forward a variety of questions relating to many different aspects of magic and performance.On behalf of all the members present Eddie thanked tonight’s guests for an informative and entertaining evening.
