SUMMARY:June 2026 Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:🎩 IBM Ring 60 – June Monthly Meeting 🎩\nImpromptu Magic\nImpromptu Magic with Rob Tarry\nMagicians know the moment well. You are at a restaurant\, a party\, the beach\, or somewhere completely unexpected when someone smiles and says those famous words: “Show me a trick!” \nBut what happens when you do not have your regular performing material? What if you are not carrying your favorite deck\, coins\, or everyday carry miracle? What if you are truly on the spot? \nThis month\, IBM Ring 60 welcomes Rob Tarry for an exciting and practical session on Impromptu Magic. Rob will share professional insight on how to handle those real-world moments when people ask for magic and you need to create wonder with little or nothing in your pockets. \nThis is not just about relying on your usual everyday carry trick.
