NWRF Meeting Themes for 2012:

FEBRUARY: "Robert Harbin Night" (Tricks with paper, books, envelopes, etc). Performance and workshop.

MARCH: "May the Force be With You" (Tricks that require the spectator to make a choice that is anything but free).

APRIL: "Larry Jennings Night" (Tricks involving water, liquids, and all stuff runny).

MAY: "It's In Print" (Perform a trick that you learned from a book, magazine, lecture notes, etc.) No cheating and watching it on video!!!

JUNE: "Dai Vernon Night" (Tricks involving cutting and slicing).

JULY: "Deja Vu Night" (The same effect ALL NIGHT LONG). A chance to see and perform the same trick. We will all agree on the effect.

AUGUST: "Fred Sanford Night" (Bring your worst magic purchase and perform it).

SEPTEMBER: "John Ramsay Night" (Tricks with food, groceries, and all things supermarket).

OCTOBER: "Theodore Annemann Night" (Mentalism, and things bizarre).

NOVEMBER: "Some Assembly Required" (Show and Tell tricks you needed to put together, find parts for, or build. Or just an unusual prop you'd like to show off).

DECEMBER: "I've Never Really Done this Kind of Thing Before" (You've had all year to get ready, now do something you've wanted to do, but never have).

David Acer Lecture

David Acer is an award-winning writer, comedian, and inventor of magic tricks who has done crazy things on television shows around the world, like protesting outside a train station dressed as a giant penny while inviting people to lie down on the tracks to ?see how it feels." And limping to the couch for a talk show interview with a Denver Boot on his leg because he had a few unpaid j-walking tickets.

But younger viewers (and insomniacs) are more likely to recognize him as "Doubting Dave" from the syndicated show, Mystery Hunters, which earned him two Gemini nominations (the Canadian equivalent of the Emmys) for Best Writing in a Children?s Non-Fiction Series, and the publication of his spin-off book, GOTCHA! 18 Amazing Ways to Freak Out Your Friends, now a Canadian bestseller.

Over the past 25 years, David has also published an eclectic array of groundbreaking magic, leading to performances at The Magic Castle, lectures at F.I.S.M., and the 2009 Magician of the Year award from the Canadian Association of Magicians.

In early 2012, Hermetic Press released More Power To You: The Very Best of David Acer, a book of material culled from two decades of publishing. David's lecture will consist largely of effects from this book?powerful, practical close-up and stand-up magic using: cell phones, Christmas-tree lights, coffee cups, eyeglasses, finger rings, coins, cards and so much more.
