President's Letter

Compeers and friends:
 
Welcome to the magic city of Indianapolis. If you're a fan of magic or practice the world's oldest performance art yourself, I hope there's something here to make you want to come to an S.A.M. #31 meeting. The Indianapolis magic clubs, which includes Ring #10 of the I.B.M., meet together every first Monday @ 7:30 at the United Methodist Church at 30 N. Audubon Ave. in Irvington. The church is right behind Jockamo's Pizza on Washington St./U.S. 40. Please enter through the east side doors, go up the stairs, turn left at the top, and we are usually in the first meeting room on the right. 
 
As the new President of #31, I bring not only a love of magic to the position, but as a professional performer and producer of magic shows, I hope to make the meetings a fun time to learn and share magic and illusion. My personal passion is magic history, so I always try to add a bit of our art's past to my presentations. Also, with our magic shows here in Indy, that include Christian and Katalina's "Mindtripping" weekends at the Hilton Downtown and my own Indy Magic Monthly, allow the public to see shows weekly. 
 
The theme of the July 1 meeting is "Red, White, and Blue" so think of something to go along those lines. Our lesson will be taught by Jay Newby from one of our 3 prime texts, Bobo's Modern Coin Magic. I'd say bring some coins of various amounts and Jay will lead you from there. 
 
This is going to be fun. 
 
M.U.M,
Taylor Martin, President Assembly #31, S.A.M.
