05/15/2024

Coming to Assembly 35 in Poughkeepsie NY on Tuesday May 28th at the Milanese Restaurant 115 Main Street Poughkeepsie NY 7:30 pm:

Alain Iannone presents “Magic For The Real Word”

While you may not have heard of him before, audiences around the globe certainly have. Alain Ianonne has been a featured performer at major events throughout Europe for the last 25 years as well as in Hollywood’s famed Magic Castle. His work has been published worldwide in assorted magic magazines including Genii and a “One Man Parade” in The Linking Ring.

His lecture includes far more than just new tricks. It blends proven ideas from a generation of successfully performing for real-world audiences. Alain will deliver both practical advice and theoretical data on how magicians can make their magic more...well, magical.

For example, how to:
• Make yourself and your magic emotionally memorable.
• Effectively move between tables at a function.
• Amaze your audience in impromptu situations.

Alain will show and explain effects that can be used in "real life" situations, covering not just the mechanics but with performance tips that will have people remembering you long after your show is over.

TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve had the opportunity to see Alain’s amazing sleight of hand talent over the past several years. He never fails to connect with his audience and he performs great magic with a soft touch. His charm, sense of humor, and amazing skill combine to create a truly unique magical experience. Don’t miss your opportunity to see Alain in person!” – Rick Merrill – FISM Champion

“Alain in one is a very good Italian magician who has been to 4F many times in the last 6 years and he speaks good English (even if he says his English is fair). His knowledge of magic is excellent and I would highly recommend him. – Obie O’Brien, Head Forker of F.F.F.F.

Last Call - It would be great to have you there!

It’s a S.A.M. Live Get-Together Event!

Saturday 2 pm Eastern June 26th

I am personally inviting you to the National Council Super Magic Party (hosted by Assembly #35 in Poughkeepsie) which will follow the National Council meeting. The party will begin at approximately 2 pm Eastern on Saturday June 26th. It will be held at the Zaritsky Residence:

21 Stonehedge Drive
Poughkeepsie, NY 12603

This party is for all Society of American Magician members and your families.

You will need to RSVP by this Friday June 17th - we have hired a chef from the Culinary Institute of America, and definitely need a head count of how many people are attending. Over 80 of your fellow compeers are coming so far!

We will have phenomenal food, treats, entertainment, drinks, and fireworks - all for $20 per person. And plenty of door prizes and giveaways! You can send the money via PayPal using [email protected]. If you will be paying at the party, please send me an email ASAP. Again, please RSVP no later than this Friday June 17th.

We are all looking to get together live and having a wonderful time. It's been a long time since we've had the camaraderie and connection of a live event. June is a beautiful time in the Hudson Valley Region of New York State - come have an awesome time with your magic friends from the S.A.M.!!! You will also be able to get a tour of Joseph Quitoni's amazing magic collection that's the talk of the Northeast!
I look forward to seeing you there!
