Hi,

Seeing as the year 2006 is coming to a close, it'll be nice to have a simple TEA gathering and JAM session for anyone interested - just a nice way of saying goodbye to 2006 and 'hi' to 2007.

This'll be a free and easy 'party' for anyone interested in attending (food provided - but you got to pay your own. ';P).

I know it's quite last minute, but it'll be nice to catch up with old friends and old enemies; make new friends and antagonise new foes. (^_^)

VENUE: Toa Payoh Library - Delifrance
There's this GREAT cozy place on the outside where we can gather and jam till we drop. Plus the great service and food makes this THE place to meet. Until they chase us out I suppose. But do be nice and at least buy a drink.

DATE: 31 Dec 2006
That's right - New Year's EVE! You can meet up and then head off to your favourite location to do the COUNTDOWN!

TIME: 2pm till any time you want


Programme:
2 - 3pm: Gathering and TEA! Have some pastries, chat and sip tea till your heart's content.

3 - 4pm: Session on Multiple Lifts - Seeing as how important these are to any card magic, it's weird how little time we spend understanding how Multiple lifts work - especially the DL. This session is dedicated to helping you (especially if you're a noob) get comfortable with any DL you currently employ or intend to use.

We'll cover:
- principles in a multiple lift
- types of multiple lifts
- some methods of get ready
- automatic lifts
- natural action and establishment of moves
- 'toying' and practice drills (how to practice)
- demonstrations and personal sharing of various techniques (anyone is welcome to join in here - share your 2 cents - or more - worth!)

Ideally, at the end of this session, you WILL take home something valuable with you regarding Multiple Lifts that you WILL use.

4pm onwards: JAM and FUN

If you're interested in attending, do let us know early, add your name to the list in fine SMC tradition!

BTW - due to the space constraints of the location (I said it's cozy, not gargantum) we might need to limit the number of people turning up - haha who am I kidding - it'll be great if about 8 showed. :)

To start things off:

1. Shade
2. Dry_gin (I volunteered Gordon... he MUST turn up)
3. Jerome (I volunteered Jerome... he has no choice)

Count me in! ^_^

Hey guys, thanks for the support; I know it's a difficult time of the year and many people have got other engagements - it's nice to see so many people willing to make the trip! :)

Anyway, just in case anyone gets lost finding the place...

Contact JEROME FANG at... 1900-WK-TIL-U-DRP

Or, if you prefer someone sane (or insane) enough to give you coherent directions, do drop me an SMS or something.

SHADE@ 94314170

PS: Do identify yourself if you're not already on my trusty mobile contact list, lest I figure you for some perv looking for something I'm not prepared to offer... :P

I'm gonna be a bit late, having just woke up from a binge party that found me crawling home after 4am... but I will see you guys there!!! Shade, thanks for organising this... you're the best! :lol:

ning: still a wee bit woozy

Aw shucks. Saw this too late... :(
Enjoy the gathering everyone who's going!!

Ade.

Thanks to all who took the trouble to turn up for this mini session.

We started late but I think everyone had a good time (hopefully).

GORDON, JEROME, AXL, NICK, ALOY - thanks for the support; couldn't do it without you guys being there!

JANSEN (did I get your name right?) - Wish you could've stayed longer; but I'm sure you had some HOT appointment to fulfil and places to go with that Bunny Bag of yours!

ROLAND joined us for the first time; and he had some nice cig manipulation moves (even though he only smokes people and not cigs) and ring moves to show... It was pretty cool. :P

ADRAIN - Braving Chalet after Chalet and coming by even at great personal cost to sleep, this guy just keeps going on and on!

JOEL - what can I say? It's such a pleasure watching you practice, run off to your gran's place, and then come back again to practice! ;)

Uncle BOB CHUA - Thanks for popping by and blowing everyone away with more of your closeup miracles!

For those who didn't make it but wanted to, well, there's always next time - look out for it!

I do hope that everybody learnt something from one another during this session and it wasn't just another regular JAM thing! I had fun; we should do this more often. LOL


Happy New Year; All the best for 2007. Let's hope it'll be just as magical as 2006.

See yall at the BIGGEST micro Convention.
