Meet up?

Popinjay

I'll be off work somewhere between 4 and 5:30 that day. I'll probably head straight to the Oval. If I'm there first, I'll leave a red Bicycle Deck on the table. If I'm not there first I'm probably gonna throw on my dusty old tail-coat (just the coat, not the full rig-out) so I'll be easily recognisable.

If anyone sees me, it's probably best to call out 'Kev' as opposed to 'Popinjay'. I mean, I'll probably look anywa but its a bit of a froo-froo name.:p

The oval is on abbey street just next to Easons right?

6th

Yep, best bet is to head upstairs.

King Mob

So Tuesday the 12th around 530 at the oval?
We set then?

There's a lot of this day, that bar, these times- I'd say just go with King Mob.

More of a lurker than a poster here, but I'll try and make it for one or two anyway if thats ok or is it more of a circular meeting?

Nope, plan is that it's open to everyone interested in magic, thats why it's in the public forum rather than the private.
The more the merrier I say.

6th

I might be able to make this but if I do I'll be in after 8pm.

Anyway I've stuck an announcement up on the forum.

bigslick

Boom, its on like donkey kong!! Ill bring few decks of bikes for ppl to mess round with. Maybe even a tiger or ghost deck

King Mob

Excellent I shall see you guys there and then.

Popinjay

Be there just before 6. I has a work

SV

Best bet would probably be to head to that late night car park between George's Street Arcade and the back of Brown Thomas - on the corner of Drury Street and Exchequer Street.

Popinjay

I'll be there by 6 at the latest this evening. I'll head upstairs. I might get there for 5:30 so if I'm first I'll leave the deck out. If not, I brought in the tail coat (Haven't worn this in a while ) and I'll be in that, blue jeans and a white shirt.

See you folks soon.

dionsiseire

only just saw this here now

i think im in work till 6, i dunno weather to try get into this, mixed with the fact im not even sure where the Oval is

Hackett

see you there boyz

r3nu4l

Best of luck with the meet-up lads! Enjoy! I wonder how many of you will disappear when it's your round?

Ba-dum tish, I made a funny!
Not that funny I suppose but enjoy

SV

Not gonna make it I'm afriad..

Have fun anyway guys! hope there's a good one in it for you

6th

So how did this go? Did you plan to over throw the system and kidnap r3nu4l and myself?

dionsiseire

how come you didnt show

and bigslick, where the hell where you??????? you STARTED the thread!!!

r3nu4l

I was surprised there wasn't any photos up here this morning...

Being in the UK sucks when it comes to boards beers.

King Mob

So, would this work as a monthly thing?
What do people think?

6th

Well tell us how it went first? As I said I was always only a maybe, babies make it hard to get out mst nights

King Mob

Twas a good night.
Tricks were done, heads were turned, stories were traded.

I'd be well for a monthly do.

dionsiseire

it went grand, 6 people showed up, myself and hackett probably the most proficient out of the 6, popinjay is more into illusions and stage items, so hard to do such in a pub, but the others 3 would fall into the interested in learning category

Myself and Hackett did a couple of tricks, explained a few and chatted magic over a few beers, relatively successful though if there was more people capable of showing and explaining some cool tricks moves etc etc it might be even better as myself and hackett would be limited magicians with little to teach as such.

that said i think from the stuff myself and hackett tought the newbies of kind definitely must have left with some new cool stuff to play with . so i would definitely call it a success for learning and spreading the art.

6th

A turn out of 6 for a first beers of a newish forum is actually pretty good. Build it and they will come

dionsiseire

It definitely wasnt a bad showing and everyone was really nice and approachable and talkative, so it was defintiely worth trekking in, despite the rain

You're a big enough guy, I can't really see a baby stopping, christ I'dhave trouble stopping you!!!

Have to say it was very interesting, had a few tricks explained. Sound bunch of lad's. I think the weather was a factor in people not coming, it was definitely a factor in me leaving early. Great to put a few faces to names also.

zuroph

id av loved to av gone, but im all the way down in Limerick. sounds good lads! 6 is a good number for a start, the limerick forum only got 3 on their last 2 outings!

bigslick

Sorry i couldnt make it guys, was in the emergency room after splitting my leg open falling down some stone steps. 12 stitches later and some painkillers and im fine.

Will DEFO be there for next one!!!

dionsiseire

bigslick, is that KEN???

i.e. ken from the bankers meeting, the swan, the savage vanish?
if so, nice to see your back into magic

bigslick

No im not Ken, but i am familiar with the above mentioned things. Went to Bankers meeting few times and have seen savage vanish performed. I vaguely recognise ur username as well, visualtrickery?

dionsiseire

yeah i used to run visualtrickery.com with tom quigley

ken used to use that nickname, wierd you would use the same, sorry it just confused me

were at the bankers meetings? now im trying to figure out who you are

the bankers was mainly

Tom
Me
Ken
Paul
Owen
Gary

sometimes
Jin

bigslick

well i only went to few, knew owen abit, thats how got into the bankers meeting, but because of college left magic for while. Doubt he remembers me now thou, so dunno if you would either. Think went to like 2 or 3 meetings.

Know one guy who i havent talked to in while, never met him but think found him on visualtrickery, wont put his email addy up here but he uses nickname on msn Dr.Phil.

Anyway im hoping to get back more into magic now, have realised am bit rusty but hope to sharpen up now as i have less academic committments

dionsiseire

Yeah phil was from some other county i think, tried to do an underground card magicians forum, that failed horribly, but go figure i mean so did visualtrickery and we wernt even hiding the place.

i wonder where ken is the big sap

King Mob

So monthly thing?
Yes?
No?
Maybe?

bigslick

Yeah defo

zuroph

id love to go to one.

???

Well maybe if you moved somewhere civilised....


Yeah monthly sounds good to me. When's the next one due?

King Mob

Tuesday 9th september would make it a month.
how does that date fit with people?

King Mob

Well anyone free for that date?

Also do we want to go to the Oval again or would someone like to suggest somewhere else?

bigslick

Dunno if im free that date. will only know closer to the time im afraid, but oval still sounds good. Once it worked for everyone last time

???

Is this Tuesday better? I may be away on the 9th.

King Mob

I could make this tuesday but it's probably too short notice.

bigslick

In Bahrain at the moment so cant make it for tuesday.

Popinjay

Earliest I can make is Thursday, I don't get paid til Wednesday night. I've a few books and such (Collections of old periodicals bound in unused hardback books) that I've been telling ??? about in PMs and I'd happily bring along a few if people want a look at them. I'd definitely be up for another meet up though. I'm still working on a nice little effect I learned at the last one.

???

Well then what about this Thursday?

bigslick

I wont be in country this Thursday but you guys work ahead with it.

King Mob

I could make Thrusday.

When are you back Bigslick?

???

So are people on for Thursday?
