Houston Magic

Our Next Meeting Is Monday, October 5th… and It’s All About CONTAINER MAGIC!

Get ready for another night of magic, creativity, fellowship, and a fun challenge!

This month, your challenge is to perform an effect involving a container. Boxes, bottles, cans, cups, bags, envelopes, jars, cases, tubes, chests—or anything else that contains something—are all fair game!

⚠️ Friendly Reminder

Guests are welcome to attend up to three meetings. After that, membership is required (IBM or SAM).

If dues haven’t been paid, entry will not be permitted.

That said… if finances are tight, don’t let that stop you. Reach out to us directly and we’ll quietly work something out. No stress, no spotlight, just support.

📦 Theme: Container Magic Challenge

Here is the challenge: Tailor your magic performance around CONTAINERS — and compete for a BLUE RIBBON! 🏆

The container can be part of the trick, hold the magic, hide the magic, produce something, make something vanish—or perhaps the container itself does something impossible!

Be creative!

Got a great idea for a future theme? Send it my way!
