RING 112, CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE – M.H. Ortwein Ring Meets 3rd Tuesday, each month at 6:00 pm Miller’s Ale House, 2119 Gunbarrel Rd, Chattanooga, TN 37421
Our regular monthly meeting was on Tuesday, September 17. The month’s theme was “Birds, Bubbles, and Planes; What Else Rises and/or Floats!” We had a great session of performing, sharing, and teaching. Here are some highlights:
— Tom Raidy, our program chairman, started things off by floating a $20 bill between his hands.
— Mike Edwards performed a unique floating card box routine with a one-of-a-kind prop. He followed that with a routine featuring bubbles mysteriously floating under a cloth.
— Cindy Poteet Williams showcased her latest 3-D printing project of creating holders for half dollars.
— Jim Driscoll shared a floating zombie doll that he’ll be using during this year’s Halloween season.
— Michael Frisbee wowed everyone with a very creative and fun soft drink prediction routine that had everyone talking afterward. He claimed the bubbles in the Sprite qualified the trick for the theme. (There may be a spike in sales on Amazon after he revealed the clever gimmick for this unique effect.)
— Tommy Johns, a visitor from Ring 9 in Atlanta, capped off the evening by showing and teaching “Serendipity,” his favorite go-to card trick with a shuffled deck.
We invite all former Ring 112 members, and all magicians in the Chattanooga, south Tennessee and north Georgia areas who are interested in becoming a part of the club, to join us at one of our future meetings. Our meeting location is at Miller’s Ale House, near the Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga.
