Last Update: 13 June 2008


Do turn up early guys - the doors'll open at about 6pm tomorrow to early birds who want to come in and simply session. The programme will be held in one of the CC lecture rooms so there'll be a projector and tables and chairs for everyone to follow along. Look out for signs that should point the way to the venue.

The programme will begin promptly at 7pm.


This is it guys - the SMC event you do NOT want to miss!

DATE:
14 JUNE 2008

VENUE:
Ulu Pandan CC (near Bouna Vista MRT; opp Ghim Moh Market)

TIME: 1900h - 2200h

COST:
$18 per person - Basic refreshments will be provided.

Uncle Bob will be selling his book at a special price of $35 (includes all the effects taught at the lecture and more).

You will need to make payment via ATM transfer before 31 May 2008 to confirm a place. Details of payment as follows:

Pls transfer money to our Mod, Jerome Fang. His bank account details are:

Fund Transfer to: POSB Savings Account
Account Num: 003-38821-2

Deadline of Transfer: 31-May-2008, 2359Hrs

Once you have transferred the money, pls send Jerome an SMS at 9788-2598 in the following format immediately that you have transferred the money.

Name: XXXX
SMC Nick: XXXX
Amt Transferred: $XX.XX

To facilitate our planning and logistics, no further payments would be accepted after 31-May-2008. Appreciate your understanding in this matter.

If funds transfer is not possible for you, you can contact Jerome to arrange for a meet up to pay in person before 31-May-2008.

PRE-REQUISITES:
To facilitate a smooth process during the workshop, you will be required to bring some materials to follow along:

1) Close up pad. Tables are provided so you can work comfortably.
2) A decent deck of cards - OF COURSE!
3) *Cups and balls props
4) *Ropes
5) *4 50c Coins
*optional - only if you intend to follow along as Uncle Bob teaches.

As this is an intermediate - advanced intermediate level session, you are required to have knowledge of certain handlings and sleights before-hand. The following list is required knowledge:

1) Zarrow shuffle
2) Multiple Lifts
3) Elmsley count
4) Jordan count
5) Basic false cuts/shuffles
6) Break controls - includes getting/holding/maintaining
7) Basic controls - includes controlling card to standard positions in deck

If you are unfamiliar with the above moves, of course you are still welcome to attend but please do not expect to learn them DURING the workshop; this would only slow down the class for everyone and it won't be fair to those who came prepared. You could either learn them now before the session, or just come and enjoy the company. :)

_______________________________________________

Uncle Bob has finally agreed to conduct a workshop for SMC featuring his professional working repertoire! He will not only perform 7 - 8 of his cherished effects - many of which are his original innovations/creations - he will also be conducting a teach-in of all the effects.

For those who don't know, Uncle Bob has lectured in Hong Kong, Jakarta, Bandung, Kuala Lumpur, AND Perth. He is likely to be doing a lecture in Hong Kong again sometime this year and also has plans to do one in Manila.

This isn't one of your 'show-and-tell' type sessions - it is a WORKSHOP designed to take your magic to the next level. It is going to be like a classroom setting - you are encouraged to bring your own Close up pad (tables will be set up and provided for you), cards, and any other materials you might need to follow along.

Finalised structure of Workshop:
The final structure of the workshop is designed to provide a maximum breadth of effects that are not only viable in a professional paid gig, but also provide HIGHLY explosive entertainment.

He has designed the flow to match that of his professional gigs and will be sharing many of his ideas on routining a show and the thinking behind the construction of each of his effects.

1. BC Opener
This is the opener that Bob has been using for ALL his paid closeup shows.

2. Cannibals Outdone
An original routine that uses the Cannibal cards plot - this is Cannibals like you've NEVER seen it. It's fun, entertaining and you'll probably find yourself performing this just for yourself, just for kicks. Trust me; it's a keeper!

3. To Reset
Bob's very own version of the RESET effect; this one'll keep you awake for nights.

4. A Dream
Uncle Bob's favourite "Dream Card" routine - a card isolated transforms magically into the spectator's selected card after a number of magical transformations involving the Aces.

5. Professor’s Revenge
Bob's already WORLD famous rope effect. If you haven't seen this, you MUST. Peformed at various local and international conventions, this effect is the one to kill for!

6. Coin Across
A very direct and commercial Coins across effect - the handling is so natural you'll be amazed that it works yourself!

7. BC Cups & Balls
A classic routine made pristine by a classy performer. Misdirection at its very best.

If there is time, Uncle Bob will go through more effects, but to keep things organised, he has decided to first present the effects listed.

* Uncle Bob will be selling his Lecture Notes that will include all of the effects he will be teaching in this workshop AND MUCH MORE.

Since the main objective of attending such a workshop is to LEARN, we have to impose a LIMIT on the number of attendees to 20 - 25. This will ensure that the workshops size is reasonable and that EVERYONE who attends will learn something.

Feel free to post any questions you might have here.

This workshop is going to be jammed packed as it is with information and we cannot afford to delay. It will start on time. In fact, you are encouraged to come earlier as Uncle Bob and the SMC organising team will open the doors at 5:30pm so that you can come and mingle/session.

Do note that for this particular event we'd like to give priority to SMC members. As such, members who want to bring 'friends' will need to put them on a waiting list until the registrations close

Hey Shufi,

No problem if you turn up a little late. We'll probably start without you. :P

May I know when will those in waiting list know if they can attend this lecture or not?

We'll tally the payments on the 31st of May and then post a new list of *confirmed* attendees. Then it'll be a free for all until the lecture day itself.
