Baltimore: Bill Abbott lecture and workshop
From Denny & Lee Magic Studio newsletter:
June 8:
The Pack Smart Play Anywhere Lecture - by Bill Abbott
"I am completely obsessive when it comes to the Pack Smart Play Anywhere lifestyle. The basic philosophy is rooted in the idea that it's better to fill a stage with personality and entertainment rather than large props and paraphernalia. I will show you, with practical examples, how to stretch and pull every ounce of entertainment out your props, your script and interaction to deliver a show that is high on impact and low on luggage. This lecture could change your opinions, your show and possibly your life."June 9:

The Thing Workshop Intensive - by Bill Abbott
"The Thing is one of my favorite tricks of the past decade.Read more.
It's not a floating ball effect, it's a discovery of invisible life.
Well made, and a beautiful astonishing effect.”

Morrissey Magic: 52 years wonderful!
A great time was had by all at Morrissey Magic's 52nd Anniversary Party yesterday! At the open house we were treated to a close-up show featuring Bill McCourt (Ring 17 past president 73/74), Luiz Castro (doing a side-splitting impersonation of Juan Tamariz), Christyrious and Dan Morrissey! The afternoon stage show, emceed by Glen Ottaway, showcased the talent of Michael Collins, Danny Hammil, Alex Kazam, Bill Abbott and Paul Wildbaum (who conducted a beautiful impromptu bell choir).
The day was filled with laughter, amazement and friendship. Thank you Dan and Phoebe for hosting this wonderful day!
