JACKIE MCCLEMENTS
Jackie performs and explains his own effects and shares his thoughts and twists on some other effects you might already know. Whether you are an accomplished performer or a complete beginner, you are bound to leave the talk with something you can use. Jackie's love of magic has been long lived and the talk reflects this. A variety of effects using cards, coins, sponges, dice, rope and a think-something-else thought process comes to visit the Magic Castle. Parlour: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

PHIL VAN TEE
Climb to the heights of rope magic perfection when Phil (AKA "El Ropo"!) presents more than you ever thought possible with the humble prop, rope (and rings & sticks).
