The Scottish Conjurer’s  Association present a lecture by mentalist and cold reader Paul Voodini on;

Wednesday 10th October,
The Scottish Mask and Puppet Centre,
8-10 Balcarres Avenue,
Kelvindale,
Glasgow,
G12 0QF, starting at 7.30pm. £10 Non members.

The lecture is fun and informative and very interactive (lots of volunteers), and demonstrates how magicians and mentalists can incorporate cold reading into their work to make it more powerful for the spectator. I also touch on the history of cold reading and it’s use by unscrupulous mediums and the like, which is always both funny and interesting.

On Monday 17th January, Forth Valley Magic Circle are hosting an informal evening with colleagues and friends from West Lothian Magic Circle. This is a reverse invitation as West Lothian invited us through last year for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

This is an informal night, but it would be appreciated if everyone could take part in the proceedings with a couple of tricks.

As usual we will be meeting at 7.30pm, at The Station Hotel, Larbert.
