I should start with congratulations to Kayla for keeping her energy up through the
evening after having just completed a grueling 41 show run with the recent Champions of Magic tour!
Hurray for Loblaws, Roots, and Canada Canadian Tire!
And beer, ginger beer, and Brio!
Colour changing bottle caps are very cool.
How do you define magic, art, and craft? (Definitely not the same way I used the term "arts and crafts" in my earlier report of the show!)
Because ... science!
And bar towels!
Kayla gave Rosemary Reid a shout out for her video: (You may remember that Rosemary delighted us all with
the first iteration of this speech which she shared at the 2017 Browser's Bash.)
Chris Westfall made a memorable entrance. (How many elastic bands do you wear on your wrists?)
There was a mini Sorcerers Safari reunion with Rosemary Reid, Lee Asher, Chris Mayhew, Chris Westfall, and Jonah Babins! (Which made Kidlet doubly regret the decision to not attend.)
Staff appreciation and lessons from street performers.
Described a fabulous pseudo-controlled study on colours that increase tips! (Also pseudo-controlled for gender with surprising results.)
Demonstrated a fabulous tip for bar magicians to increase probability of receiving a big tip. (I wonder how one could design a study to see if that methodology gives the same % tip increase for a man using the technique as for a woman using the technique?)
Something spontaneously happened at the 1 hour 15 minute mark that Kayla was totally expecting. (I'm not entirely convinced that it wasn't just a case of a poorly worded question.)
If you aren't already, subscribe to Shezam, the feminist podcast that hopes to make itself obsolete. The podcast has great tips and strategies for young women starting out in magic (No pockets? No problems!) Carisa Hendrix and Kayla also share entertaining anecdotes about performing and lots of pro-tips too!
After the break, Kayla gave a fabulous hands-on lesson for colour changing bottle caps using a technique even I can master!
Good times, good fun, good magic.
Thank you Kayla!
Great turnout for a great lecture at the first @IBMring17 meeting of 2019! Thank you @MagicinHeelsKD
