11pm
After dinner we went back to the cabins to get some rain gear -- the weather report said it was going to thunderstorm. We headed off to the “Pinetages Theatre.” The theatre is about the size of my school gym, maybe a little smaller but with a bigger stage.
The Pinetages Theatre.
Each cabin did something for “cabin intros” under the guidance of the counsellors (Philip Bowser, Greydon Gilmore, Jonah Babins, Tyler Williams, Mark Correia, Nathaniel Rankin, Rosemary Reid, and Sam Segal). Cabins did really clever things including impersonating well-known magicians (like Penn & Teller and David Blaine), miming deliberate misinterpretations of magic terms (like overhand shuffles and dribbling), a version of the TV show “Fool Us,” and magic effects performed using people instead of things (linking rings, sliding knot on rope, and cups & balls). I was sooo nervous. I took some deep breaths and I didn’t mess up! It feels amazing to be on stage and hear everyone clap and cheer for you.

Rosemary announced that they were going to do a lip sync competition all week. She started it off and then Eric did “Your Name” by Taylor Swift. Hilarious! It rained really hard while we were in the theatre. (Glad I brought rain boots!)

Daryl did amazing rope magic. Ben Train did a wild book test. Phil DaCosta did more fun rope magic. Chris Westfall and Chris Mayhew made everyone laugh so hard. They even threw some “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Llama” shirts into the audience. I wish I got one. At the end we all got brand new decks of really cool cards that Dave Mitchell got donated from Ellusionist. They look so nice, I don’t want to use them!

It is soooo dark here at night. I can see more stars here than I knew existed! At our cabin we had a “cabin visit” from Chris Westfall. He showed us AMAZING tricks using cards, rubber bands, and coins!

I feel a little sad. I miss my home and my bed and my room. And especially my family. Everyone here is super friendly and nice though. And this place is so much fun! I’m super excited about tomorrow.
We all got ready for bed. I tried to go to sleep without writing here. But I just couldn’t. That’s why I’m writing here so late. Tired now. G’night.
We are Jonah Babins and Tyler Williams: magicians, teachers, students, artists, and conversationalists. We’re currently working our butts off to make sure that when we launch on April 30th, it’ll be epic.
At Discourse in Magic, we want to help shift the discussion towards the theory and philosophies that go into producing magical experiences. We’re launching a website and podcast that will act as a thinking space, to answer the most difficult questions that face the magic community.
Rather than focusing on tricks, we plan to talk about things like belief and realism, stage characters, viral magic, the influence of theatre and improvisation on magic, and much more.
