Meetings

Let’s keep the summer ROCKIN’ - and EVERYONE knows the BEST way to do that is to attend the next RING 22 Club Meeting, now less than two weeks away (on TUESDAY, JULY 15, 2025, at the SPIRIT OF CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH, 749 W 14 Mile Rd, Clawson, Mi)!   We’re once again breaking the proverbial “glass ceiling” with yet another FIRST-TIME-EVER magic experience designed specifically with YOU in mind!   If you think it’s hot now, wait till you see our meeting agenda!   GUESTS ARE WELCOME!

TUESDAY, JULY 15, 2025, 7:15 PM EDT!
Spirit of Christ Lutheran Church, 749 W. 14 Mile Rd., Clawson, MI 48017

 

SPOTLIGHT
You’ve seen him perform behind the counter at the infamous WUNDERGROUND MAGIC SHOP and he’ll be captured in our spotlight - the amazing magic of PROFESSOR ALEX KAZAAM (AKA Alex Oeming)!  

HOT TOPIC DISCUSSION
Everyone is invited to learn and share with a “groupthink” topic led by VP FRED LENTER (The "IT" factor - what makes SOME magicians so special?).  

HANDS-ON EZ COIN WORKSHOP
Be sure to bring your half-dollars along for this one - our club’s star coin expert, FERRAN CHARLES, will teach everyone a simple coin move or two that are real-world workers you’ll want to use!

FIRST-TIME-EVER-STANDUP-TABLELESS-IN-YOUR-HANDS-GROUP-SESSION
Commonly known as our FTSTIYHGS activity, EVERYONE will have a chance to share IN-HANDS-ONLY magic within small circles of attendees.  Perform as often as you want for a variety of friends, close-up and personal.  Remember, the only rule:  NO TABLES INVOLVED!  Here’s your chance to watch, perform, learn, and gain valuable flight time - nothing is stronger than magic that happens in your hands (or someone else’s!).

AFTERGLOW of AMAZEMENT
We encourage EVERYONE to continue the magic afterwards at Clawson’s favorite and most magical hotspot, THE HIDEOUT!
