RING 22 MEMBERS: $5.00, ALL OTHERS: $15.00
Nathan Kranzo is a full time entertainer with a reputation for creating unique and original magic. Born and raised in Michigan Nathan is now one of the top magical entertainers in the mid-west. His original magic creations have been published in national and worldwide publications like Magic Magazine, Genii Magazine, The Penumbra, Antinomy, Channel One, and The Linking Ring Magazine. Nathan's wicked sense of humor and fantastic card & coin work will keep you laughing, learning and entertained.
His acclaimed lectures have been seen at the Las Vegas Magic Invitational, International Magic Day in London, Double Fond in Paris, Close up Magic Live in Osaka, World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas, as well as Motor City Close Up Convention right here in Taylor, MI.
Nathan will teach effects ideas from his working repertoire including these highlights…
Box Monster: With a snap of the fingers the box pops open. Another snap and
the first selection slowly rises from the cased deck. For the final revelation the cards are taken out of the box and spread on the table where the final selection slowly slides forward out of the spread on its own! The deck is immediately examinable and you end totally clean.

Nathan’s Work on the Haunted pack: The perfect opener and closer! Nathan will teach an easy and practical method that you can do anytime anywhere. Nathan will also teach the management of the effect as well as how to perform in on a SPECTATOR”S HAND. You will WANT to perform it after watching Nathan do this.
Homing Tie: At the end of a marathon card routine a SIGNED selection becomes part of your wardrobe!
Stand Up Coin Work : Nathan will go into great detail on the coin work that has made him famous. Just ask Nathan to perform ANY routine from his new DVD Stand Up Coin Magic and you will be blown away!
Nathan will also go into great detail about pocket management, palming, mis- direction…..and much more!
Ring Meeting July 10th 7:15pm
GOIN' OUT TO LUNCH!
Here's something we haven't done before- an "Out To Lunch" night. This clever little tool (the trick, not me) is the basis of countless routines from the silly (Doc Eason's "sobriety test") to the bizarre (Eugene Burger's "Spirit Messages") and everything in between. It was made popular -in part- by Ring 22's own Clare Cummings -MILKY the CLOWN for Twin Pines Dairy. (see history below)
Bring your favorite OTL routine or adaption. IF you don't know what Out to Lunch is, you will make your own tonight and have a great "do anywhere" close up effect with a LOW skill to HIGH entertainment ratio. Bring a stack of business cards, or 3x5 note cards, a thick rubberband and something to write with.
And if you are interested, here's the History on OTL by: Max Maven
The Out-to-Lunch Principle gets its name from a marketed trick devised by Clare Cummings and Bob Ellis in the mid-1940s. The roots extend back much further, to seance gaffs of the 19th century. See, for example, "The Interrupted Flap" in _Spirit Slate Writing and Kindred Phenomena_ by William Robinson, 1898.
It has been commonly held by modern magic historians that the paper modification should be credited to Edward Bagshawe, used in "The Recurring Name" in _Twenty Magical Novelties_, 1930). However, in 1994 I tracked down the existence of a prior source, Tom Bowyer's "A Message From Nowhere" in the April 1928 _Linking Ring_. And, in 1995, I found yet an earlier credit: William Larsen Sr., "Finger Prints" in the July 1923 _Sphinx_.
This historical information has appeared in print more than once, but few seem to notice, and fewer seem to care. And thus, magic continues to spin, an unknowing ouroboros.
