There were two meetings in March but sadly your humble narrator had to miss them both due to a severe attack of the Jandies (mixed in with bubonic plague, the staggers and the ick). I am reliably informed that I missed out in a big way!

The first meeting was our competition for Card Magic, the Ron Gordon Cup, with the President hosting.

The President himself told me (in a Royal Audience that he graciously granted me) that the standard was astonishing, both technically and in terms of presentation. James, Scott, Marcus, Nicolas and Steve all performed to an incredibly high level, giving the judges (John Boyd, Jenny Seagraves and Eoin Smith, with Jono Greary as Timekeeper) an Herculean task of picking a winner. The final decision was that Marcus Gordon should be delared the victor and he received fulsome praise and the trophy presented by his Granddad.

The second meeting was a lecture from the marvellous Giancarlo Scalia with Jeff Burns our host.

I have been reliably informed that the lecture was nothing short of magnificent! Giancarlo is a magician of an incredibly high technical standard and a lovely guy too. His magic has been described as "next level" and everyone who witnessed his lecture will have had their own magic elevated in some way. I hope that he comes back to see us soon so I can see his lecture live too.
