Deal yourself in!

The card table beckons - buy in; sit pat; the next deal's about to begin.

The money's just a way of keeping score. The thrill is in making the hazard; beating the odds - nay: making the odds! The accomplished mechanic laughs in the face of lady luck - he makes his own luck; he controls the game.

A professional gambler never gambles.

SMC Gathering - 21 Feb 2009

Loads of thanks to everyone who turned up and made this gathering one of the most successful ones in a LONG time! The turn out was good and everyone was sporting enough to mingle and have a great time together!


Kudos to the people who took the plunge and actually took their turns performing


I sincerely hope that all who turned up had a great time and perhaps ‘levelled up’ in their magic in some way or other. Enjoy the following pictures!


(My apologies to those who went earlier… I think my phone had a glitch and I missed taking photos of those guys.)

Xiang Long and Justin in the photo enjoying the show.

Justin (Itachi) performing a card trick for Allie (Eagle)


Greatly engrossed (or completely bored?) Moses and Javier (Jumbo) watching on.


The crowd watches…


Linking Rings Mayhem! Adrian (AdrianLee) works the crowd!

As Gordon would say, “SHOW OFF!”


Wei Liang (LoyaLover) doing his coin stuff!


Alex (Alexander) puts on a show


Wenhan (ghostace84) doing a grotesque effect with some thread and body orifices.


Zian (Chanzian) flashes his coins at a mesmerised audience.

Allie (Eagle) doing a rendition of the Crazy Man’s Handcuffs


The great cardician – MagicalLobo – Han Xiang making Zian do some work.



Gordon (dry_gin) temps fate again and hopes that coincidence would save him.

Jiawen (jiawen) makes his move and performs a quickie.


Jerome (jeromefang) dazzles with his display of coin work.

Bernard (magic_dow) chills out in a corner – proving that he does indeed show up for gatherings. (And that miracles do happen)


Chinmaya (hope I got the spelling right) (csjoshi) uses his ‘paranormal’ powers to bend a 50c coin.


Bin Hao (chizzielamer) makes an impression on more than one spectator in the audience!

Bin Hao's cousin, Vincent shows us a thing (or two?)...
Once again, I want to thank all the performers for taking the plunge (I know I had to twist a few arms but hey – you guys were really sporting! It felt good right!?) and making this a truly memorable SMC gathering!


Thanks also to all the MODs who made a concerted effort to facilitate the event with your presence and help!


Do drop a post or message if you have any feedback or comments on ANYTHING! :) Look forward to hearing from you and seeing you again soon!
