The Minutes—Inside The Meeting
For The Good Of The Club
Happy New Year. Can
you believe it, it’s 2019
already. Let’s hope it’s
another great year for the
Canton Magicrafters.
Let’s start off with con-
gratulations to our 2019
club officers and our new
vice president, Mr. Brent
Schneider, who also hap-
pens to be the 2018 Ma-
gician of the year. We
started the November
meeting with comments
and suggestions on the
2018 magic banquet. It
was another successful
banquet and our treasury
did grow, so that’s a good
thing. In general, every-
one thought that food
was good and the loca-
tion was very nice. We
are planning to have it at
the same location next
year, so we may have a
permanent location going
forward. And that’s anoth-
er good thing. So lets get
the new year started with
our annual magic auction.
At this point in time, we
are planning to have an-
other large auction, alt-
hough not as large as
we’ve had in the past. We
have four consignments
with over 100 items in
them each. Our post
cards are done and we
are planning on getting
them out early, both in a
mailing and distribution at
the Magi-Fest magic con-
vention. This should help
in our attendance. I’m
sure by the auction date
we will have plenty of
magic to sell. We will be
having the auction at the
work and made card
throwing very popular. He
will be missed by the mag-
ic community. Also thanks
to all who participated in
the magic gift exchange
and donated all the great
food for our covered dish
at the November meeting.
It was a great time.
Thanks to Jim Klayder for
playing Santa Claus at
the November meeting
and passing out his gifts.
By the way, Jim is doing
great and we are glad to
him back into magic.
People who we need to
keep in our thoughts and
prayers include John
Walker who is undergo-
ing eye surgery and Mary
Proffitt who is having jaw
surgery. Let’s hope that
these people do well and
are back in action real
soon. I would like to men-
tion that a great fellow
magician passed away
recently. The great Ricky
Jay has left us. Ricky was
known for his fine card

The 2019 Kickoff Dinner … Continued
In case you missed it, 15
Canton Magicrafters and
their spouses met out at
John’s Bar and Grille for a
fun evening of magic, fel-
lowship and great food as
we kicked off 2019 on the
right foot. We even had
world class illusionist, Ja-
son Hootie there to do
some wonderful magic.
Our winner of the free reg-
istration to the 2019 battle
of magicians was our 2018
magician of the year, Brent
Schneider. Our MC for the
evening was our very own
President, Jeff Conley. Jim
Klayder started things off
with a lesson on how to do
the color changing silk, but
not too many people learned
the real secret. Brent
Schneider passed his silk
through a borrowed cell
phone and passed the cap
of the bottle into the bottle.
Mike Bishop did some math
magic and Drew
Hutchinson performed
ly was very glad to see so
much great magic per-
formed at the kickoff din-
ner. I was also glad to
see such a good turnout
for this event. A special
thanks to Jeff Conley for
donating the free registra-
tion to this years battle.
Ron Barnett performed
the trick that can’t be ex-
plained and Nick Popa
did some incredible card
magic as he found the
chosen card in the most
incredible way. Mike
Oddo performed some
card magic, the hard way
and our guest of honor,
Jason Hootie did some
wonderful magic with a
Rubic’s Cube. And finally
our MC, Jeff Conley, did
some magic with some
after Christmas sale
items and a very unusual
Easter bunny. I personal-

his cell phone and Drew Hutchinson
did some multiplying bottles and
turned some silks into candy for the
holiday season. Paul Snyder used
some Christmas magic to restore
some broken candy canes for Santa
Clause and Jeff Conley ended
things up with a very professional
ACAAN routine All in all it was a
great night for magic and holiday
cheer. Let’s plan to have some fun
next month.
. Before the magic be-
gan we had a small covered
dish dinner and a magic gift
exchange which was very en-
joyable for all. Our Santa, Jim
Klayder, dawned the beard and
passed out his own presents to
all the good magicians. Randy
Weidenhamer started things
off with correctly predicting the
card on either side of the cho-
sen card and Nick Popa per-
formed a torn and restored card
effect with 2 signed cards and the
final result was one card with 2
signatures. Kayden Steffle did a
masterful job with an oil and water
routine and Rick Everhard gave
a book review and sculptured a
balloon unicorn hat. Jim Klayder
listened to 2 whispering jokers as
they told him the exact location of
2 chosen cards, Brent Schneider
magically passed a silk through

This month we continue our new focus, THE CHALLENGE #2. Put your thinking caps on and look in the Abbott’s Magic Cata-
logue of Magic Volume #26 page 51. Read the description for Premonition Outdone and create a method. Good luck.
The CHALLENGE: Recreate it with any method you can. Share your method with THINK MAGIC and you can win!
Click on the link and watch Greg Bordner from Abbott’s perform the effect live.
https://www.abbottmagic.com/Premonition-Outdone-by-Stan-Lobenstern-ABBpremonitioutdn.htm?categoryId=-1
EFFECT: From the insert of Abbott’s Catalogue “A two-deck miracle! A spectator chooses either a red or a blue
backed deck. From the chosen deck one card is freely selected. This card is placed aside in full view. The other deck
is counted, one card at a time, face upwards. There are only fifty-one cards and the
Presents #2 The Challenge: Stan Lobenstern’s Premonition
only missing card matches the first selection! This, in itself, would be satisfying conclusion to miraculous coinci-
dence - but there is more. Even though the spectator has just counted fifty-one cards, the magician states that the
deck is complete. The only way that statement could be true would be if the selected card from the blue deck (for
instance) had a back that matched the red backed deck. The selection is turned over and it does have a red back!
The only red backed card from a blue backed deck!
This is a mechanical and self-working trick. It works every time and the selected card can be different each time.
No rough and smooth principle. No wax. No sleights. No codes, threads, wires, mirrors or stage traps! Best of all -
no forcing! Premonition Outdone by Stan Lobenstern is done openly - the spectator handles the cards. Comes
complete with cards, routine and suggested patter. Perform Premonition Outdone and throw your audiences for a
loop!”
PARAPHINILIA: Two decks of cards.
HISTORY: Stan Lobenstern was a member of the Order of Merlin Shield (thirty-five years a continuous member).
He also was a member of Ring 170 (Orlando, Florida). He was well-known as the owner of the Rabbit in the Hat
Ranch magic store, selling his magic wares usually lower than other sources. He seemed to be of another era, with
his quick wit, subtle humor, and flamboyant character. He was the creator of Tarot Fantasy, “Impromptu” Headline
Prediction in Apocalypse Vol. 4, No. 9 1981 and Your Face Trick (A neat effect where the Performer displays three
cards, two blank face cards, and one regular picture card. Cards are mixed, and the picture card is placed on the
hand of the spectator. When the card is turned over the face has vanished and has be replaced by the magician’s
face on the card. Maybe the next THINK MAGIC CHALLENGE).
After you create your method, you may want to search out others that are Based on Stan’s work, like Two Deck
Coincidence put out by Repro Magic in the seventies, Bill McCaffrey's Prize Winner. Additional thoughts/
variations on the effect "Premonition, A Prize Winner" by J. G. Thompson Jr. can be found in Bob Nelson's "Still
More Miracles in Mentalism".
The CHALLENGE: How did he do it? Enjoy the journey! Share your method with THINK MAGIC and you can win!

Welcome Back Jim Klayder
The Canton Magicrafters were organized on April 17,
1920 (before IBM) by a group of 20 magicians from Can-
ton Ohio to further the art of magic and the allied arts in
Canton Ohio and the surrounding areas. The club dis-
banded and was later reformed in 1960. The first new
meeting hosted 10 magicians. The Canton Magicrafters,
as we are called now, quickly grew to 26 members and
became a chartered I.B.M. Ring, # 243, on April 15,
1977. We now boast a membership of more than 30 ma-
gicians of all ages, styles, abilities, and skill levels from
all over Stark County and beyond. Monthly meeting, ban-
quets and shows, auctions, picnics, club library, road
trips, lectures, and much more are just a few of the
things the Canton Magicrafters have to offer their mem-
bers. The Canton Magicrafters have a proud history of
serving the magic community in Stark County for many
years, and we hope to continue for many more.
