Forth Valley magic Circle present a lecture by Marcelo Insua (Mister Tango) on;

Tuesday 14th February, at

The Station Hotel,
2 Foundry Loan,
Larbert,
FK5 4AW
starting at 7.30pm,
£10 entry to non members.

Mr Tango isn’t lecturing at the Blackpool convention, so this would be an opportunity to see his full lecture. It is called “Stress Free Magic” and is about 80 per cent coins and 20 per cent cards magic. All of the effects are practical and easy to do.

Marcelo is the owner of Tango Magic gaffed coins factory. Besides being a professional magician for more than 20 years, he has the only magic bar theatre in South American, called Bar Mágico.

Three years ago he invented a new gaffed coin called TUC (Tango Ultimate Coin) that was a truly revolution in the magic coin world, you can see this post in the The Magic Cafe forum: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=320107&forum=202&423&start=420 . This post is a record with more of 53000 visits and 200 reviews of his invention. 

TUC allows to perform the most difficult coin magic routine to everybody in just a few minutes of practice.

Forth Valley Magic Circle is proud to present a lecture by
Michael Finney at; 

The Station Hotel,
2 Foundary Loan,
Larbert,
FK5 4AW,
Tuesday 13th September,
7.30pm Start – non memebrs £10

Comedian, magician, philanthropist, corporate spokesman, motivational speaker and more.  Michael Finney has more sides to his life than a well-cut diamond.  There is an authenticity to him that seems to disarm an audience instantly, causing everyone to feel as if a friend has just stepped on stage.  One reason for the respect Finney gets from other  professionals may be the incredible amount of entertainment he’s able to squeeze out of what seems to be so little.  Give him a deck of cards, a pair of scissors, a rope and for the next hour the crowd can have the time of their lives!  Finney’s confidence is a by-product of sincerity and the audience connects with it and feeds it back to him in a beautiful way.  In Michael’s case, sincerity  and authenticity transform a simple mixture of character, context, humor, and magic into something that not only entertains but inspires. It should be said that Michel Finney works clean!  Many years of performing in comedy clubs have been assimilated into corporate work, creating an instinct for what’s appropriate at every venue – something his clients have learned they can depend on.

We expect this to be a sell out so if you plan on coming along can you contact secretary@forthvalleymagic.co.uk this will help us with the seating arrangements.

Kozmo will be presenting a lecture at Forth Valley Magic Circle on;

Wednesday, 11th May at 7.30pm,
At The Station Hotel,
2 Foundry Loan,
Larbert,
FK5 4AW 
£10 admittance for non-members

Kozmo, hot off the cover of Magic Magazine, is the creator of Kozmo Magic, which is recognized as one of today’s premier magic video production companies. His “Reel Magic Magazine” continues to be the benchmark in the video magic industry. Kozmo, is acknowledged to be one of the top street performers in the world today

Kozmo will begin his lecture with a performance of his professional street act. This is a treat in and of itself. Kozmo will proceed to explain each effect in his street act. Kozmo pushes the envelope by teaching you why he has chosen each effect and why he has placed each effect where it is in his act.

You will hear Kozmo talk about conditions on the street. He will give you his thoughts on how to make your “hats” bigger. You will laugh at some of the anecdotes you will hear, including a great story about Harry Anderson.

Kozmo will show you how the principles of performing in the street can also be applied to the restaurant magic venue as well as the trade-show floor.

You may well jump for joy, as there is ONLY ONE card trick in the lecture. To some of you this may be your motivation to attend the lecture.
