Two young amateur magicians were invited to be in the big show...what was it like for them?

John Thank you for sharing this Video. It is great to see new faces coming into the art. Were the two New Magicians students at the Glenforest School or were they members of S>A>M>?(or both) I know one of them mentioned in the video that they joined a magic club. Do you have any clips of them performing in the "Big Show" if so I would love to see them.

Thanks!
The young magi in the video were SYM members. Glenforrest School was the venue - and is also our stage magic rehearsal lab.
Since you asked I will at some point post a version with video (not much was shot - too bad).
We had hoped to do another "recital" type show next month - will have something this summer.
You'll probably like "Clink". http://www.youtube.com/user/johntudormagic

John,
I realy enjoyed clink... I noticed your hometown is newburgh, My wife is from Middletown, We now live about two hours north of there. How did you end up in SC?

Small world, eh?

I came South due to family obligations. My mother is from a very old southern family, so it was a natural.
Are you affiliated with any of the local magic clubs there?
