Attendees:  Jay Zentko, CJ Diamond, Stefan Evans, Rodney Nordstrom, Gambit, Grege Joyce, and Troy Keefer.

Rodney is no longer liaison for the Farmer’s Market. He will give contact information to Jay Zentko and Jay will make contact. We believe Phil will be contact for the HOI Fair. 

Troy will contact the dealer for the CIMGT. CJ and Grant Golden may set up tables. 

CJ will bring video projector and screens to the CIMGT. Stefan will help to compile content. 

Get Tricked will be at BG Karaoke on February 17. 

CJ gave a report on Cornstock Theatre. He has nothing to report. 

Sidney Friedman is doing a show at The Betty Jane in Peoria Heights the night before our CIMGT. We should support it and use it to promote our show. 

Magic: 

Greg Joyce taught Penn & Teller’s “Love’s Me” trick. He brought cards & instructions for everyone. 

Greg discussed his favorite Valentine’s Day trick. He saw Mitch Williams perform a trick for a couple involving pink & white tissue paper. 

Gambit performed Phil Smith’s “Fusion Mosaic Phenomena.” 

Gambit performed three effects by Wayne Dobson. He performed “Lucky Dip” with a bag he made. He performed “Odd Ball” with another bag he made. He also performed and Anti-Bank Night routine with some nice locking Himber wallets. 

Respectfully submitted, Jay Zentko, Treasurer 

On February 19, Radek Hoffman gave his lecture. Several members gave it high praise. 

The Peoria Magicians will be at the Riverfront Market again this year, beginning Saturday May 18. Magicians will perform on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays through the summer from 9:00am until noon. Gambit reports that his Get Tricked show on February 23rd was a success
