Calendar of Events

You don't want to miss our next meeting March 11 at 7pm at the Plymouth Community Arts Council.

If you love magic, we have a great March meeting coming up. Join us March 11 at 7pm at the Plymouth Community Arts Council. If you can't make it we will be streaming it live on our private Facebook page.

  • You won't want to miss our Featured Performer - Phil Mann the Magic Mann! Phil will be bringing us astonishing magic from deep within his Cave of Wonders.
  • We have a fantastic playing card Learning Session. Mike Thornton will be breaking down three weapons from his working arsenal:
    • His favorite way to make them pick the card you want
    • His favorite way to secretly bring it to the top
    • His favorite false cut that screams “fair”… while lying through its teeth
    • Make sure to bring your own deck of cards as this will be a hands-on learning session.

By the end of the night, Mike will show you how to “specialize” your deck for what he considers "The Ultimate Card Control".

If you like practical, real-world, audience-tested material, this one’s for you! If you like impractical untested material that is AI generated, come anyway! Mike will change your mind...

And of course, last but not least, our March meeting will feature YOU! Member Performances onstage. Bring something to share!

BRING A DECK OF CARDS TO OUR MARCH MEETING

Open Signups

These are activities club members may sign up for on Signup Genius. Details are included in the signup link.

Featured Performer - Most Monthly Meetings

Sign up to be the featured performer at one of our upcoming meetings.

We like to open our meetings with MAGIC! Our featured performer opens our meetings with around 15-20 minutes of magic. If you are a Pro that might be easy and you might have a bit more than 15 minutes. If you are a beginner, that might feel like a lot of time to fill. No worries. Do what you can. We want to get YOU onstage.

What you get...

  • Approx 15 minutes of Stage Time absolutely free
  • Adulation by our members included at no additional cost
  • Check off you New Year's Resolution to perform (or perform more)
  • A hearty handshake from one of our esteemed board members
  • Income Tax free, because you don't get paid
  • ALL skill levels welcome. You don't need to be a Pro and you don't need to have a whole routine... one or two tricks will do if that is what you have.

Close-Up Contest - April Monthly Meeting

Sign up now for our Close-Up Showcase (competition). To keep things fun we ask that the prior year winner refrain from signing up until the following year. If available the prior year winner will announce the current year's winner.

On April 8, 2025, our regular scheduled meeting, we will arrange the tables into small, close up settings. You will get the opportunity to perform multiple times. All you need to do is prepare a close up routine of five minutes or less. 5 minutes is the absolute maximum time.

  • Each performer will be at a table.
  • Audience members will be divided up among the performers table
  • We will ring a bell and each performer will perform their 5 minute or less act
  • After 5 minutes we will ring a bell and the audience will rotate while the perform has 2 minutes to reset.
  • We will repeat steps 3 and 4 until the audience has seen all the performers.
  • At the end of the evening, all of the audience members will vote for their favorite performer. The winner will be awarded the coveted Close Up Showcase Trophy.
