Every year Pat Page hosts a workshop on a specific topic. The topic this year was "solid through solid." Pat (above) taught a very nice ring and rope move. |
(L) Phil Wilmarth teaches a match penetration. (R) Coin man Dave Neighbors teaches an excellent coins through GLASS tabletop. |
(L) Robert K. Miller shows a bill penetration and transpo. (R) Howie Schwarzman shows Obie a penetration using three plastic rings. |
(L) Tom Craven shows perhaps the strangest solid through solid of the lot. (R) Tony Eng teaches the classic coins through table, a la Goshman. He also showed a pen PENetration. |
(L) David Regal pattered about The Flash being able to do things quickly. He showed a nice Jack Miller style holdout. Herb Zarrow and Jean-Jacques Sanvert enjoyed the show close up. (R) Peter Tappan does a rope penetration with Roy Cottee. |
Ali Bongo teaches a method whereby a rope can be dipped into the bag and come up with a ring threaded on. |
(Above) Bob Swadling performed my personal favorite of the lot. Two coins are placed on top of a handkerchief (held by Ace Greenberg and Bob Elliot). Then one of the coins is visibly pulled through the handkerchief. Diabolical! |
(L) Bob Swadling also taught a nice coin box routine using magnetic coins. (R) Dave Williamson added some "touches" to Tom Cravens body penetration. |
Dave enlisted the help of John Carney who evidently didn't know what he was getting into. |
(L) So far so good. (R) John's head banged on the board several times as Dave pulled harder and harder. |
Unfortunately, the rope jammed up. Back to the drawing board. (BTW - Carney's nose was not actually broken. It just needed to be reset. |
