Card Magic with Rob Mendell

Playing cards have been around for over 600 years and are a favorite tool of magicians. Rob Mendell, a Chicago-based magician who has entertained people with playing cards since 1973, is presenting an interactive demonstration of the art of CARD MAGIC at Marbles on the evening of Thursday, April 1, 2010 from 6:00 to 7:30.

Much of the 90-minute session will be an interactive lesson, during which you will learn and practice three or four classic effects that are easy to do, yet intriguing for an audience. Knowing a few good "tricks" gives you a great ice-breaker and a way to surprise your friends and family.

Minimum age for the lesson: about 10 years old

Cost: $10 includes a deck of cards you can keep
