Hi Dave,

I wasn't lucky enough to get to the International Magic convention in December due to work commitments.

Do you have any plans to visit the UK again in the near future? A small lecture tour perhaps?

Regards,

Martin.

Nothing in the works right now.

Dave your lecture and performance at International were great, especially the thing with John Feely (correct spelling?)....i won't spoil it for those who weren't there!
Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom (especially on the pinkie count, and the top change),
owen

How about if we sign a pertition....blackmail?!?...lol

Er...Owen: how can you "spoil it" for those of us who weren't there? C'mon - what did he do?!

I just thought that he may want to do it again...but anyways I will tell you!
Sorry Dave...
Dave finished his lecture by performing his celebrated cups and balls routine. Whilst the routine went on normally, the final loads at the end were a bit different. It started as per usual with a few lemons, but then the objects began to grow in size, until they could no longer fit under the cups, things like jars etc. But whilst the objects were produced under the cups, there was no visible way in which the objects were getting there! The final thing to end up in the cup was a foot, followed by a whole body...it turned out that John Feeley had been under the table for the full hour and a half that Dave had been lecturing, only to perform the last trick!
The next day in the close up show, John walked out with a pillow and a copy of The Complete Invocation (in case you don't know this is a huge book)! He then got under the table.
What was best however was that he had someone up on stage to help with a trick, and the trick fooled him (he used John again). He was doing a card in Lemon, and he literally stole the card, gave it to John, and john stuffed it in a lemon taken from a plate on the table! It was proof of Dave's true comic genious!

WELL DONE DAVE!
Owen
