Reminder - Docc Hilford Lecture THIS THURSDAY 9/17. If you haven't RSVP'd yet, please do so ASAP so that we can save you a seat. Thank you!

We are excited and honored to announce a Lecture by the one and only Docc Hilford. The lecture will take place at 7pm on September 17th.

Fee for IBM Ring 192 Members is $10 at the door. Non-members pay $20.

Doc will be sharing his 20206 Memorable Mentalism lecture with us and he is generous enough to provide everyone who attends a FREE Kwik Klass video!

Spots are limited! Please email [email protected] to RSVP so we can make sure there are enough seats!

About the lecture:

Memorable Mentalism needs to be a few things.
It should be baffling.
It should be elegant.
And it should be easy to perform.
To be clear, Memorable Mentalism is an experience for an audience.

Docc Hilford has put together a special lecture that has a dozen, selected effects that meet these needs.

Using the simplest of BORROWED props; paper, pencil, cards, magazines, envelopes, books, these original effects will be talked about long after you perform them.

They are MEMORABLE.

Dear Magic friends,

Oakland Magic Circle's 2026 schedule of upcoming meeting and shows is posted now at https://oaklandmagiccircle.com/

As you probably know from previous emails the Oakland Magic Circle is having an Auction This Tuesday, September 1 at The Sound Room in Oakland.

After hearing from many of you they decided to make this a general auction with 100% of the sale price going to the seller. No buyer fees either.

They decided not to limit it to high-end items though there will be some along with a range of other goodies. No doubt there will be bargains.

Come one and all to buy and sell.
