DESPITE the holiday season still affecting numbers, the September meeting was reasonably well attended.

This month’s theme was magic with metal. A variety of effects were seen; these ranged from disappearing coins and candles to more classic effects.

Of particular interest was the disobedient ball bearing, which continually baffled one member until the cunning secret was explained.

Initial plans for this year’s Christmas show were made with everyone agreeing to share the organisational workload.

The membership of the society’s most recent and youngest member was reaffirmed; as many of those present had not been there to see Ben Lee become a junior member of the society in recognition of his fantastic first performance at the society’s last charity show – well done Ben.

Finally, the theme was set for next meeting was set.

October’s theme is to be magic with liquids! It was also decided that this did not include making beer disappear as many of those present had hoped for, or at least until the meeting had finished…
