Fall Show
Gregory Wilson hasn’t been on the lecture tour circuit since 2018. During that time, he continued to refine, hone, and perfect some of the most commercial magic that magicians can carry. He calls this new tour, “Things I Carry And Use 2.0”. Some of the material may seem familiar, but he has some new twists that are worth your time and attention.

Be ready to have some FUN!
Our Fall Fundraising Show will again be held at the Florissant Performing Arts Center on October 18, 2025 at 2pm. We are now accepting audition videos from members wishing to perform at that event The theme this year is "Magic of Halloween." All entries should have some connection with the holiday, and it is preferred that one of the classical monsters be featured in the act. Please do not worry if you believe you have nothing in your repertoire that fits the theme, as we are here to help you adapt your favorite effects into a monstorous masterpiece! We are not accepting any slasher-film candidates, as this is a family friendly show equally attended by children, young adults and seniors.

​
​
Your entire act should last no more than 8 minutes. If filming an act is not feasible, then you must be present that night, May 7th, to fully explain your act. Some video or LIVE sample of your magic performance is suggested to give the club members the details they need to help make their most informed decisions.
​​​
All video submissions must be sent to Michael McClure for processing before the event ... a strict DEADLINE of APRIL 30th will be enforced. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. My deets:

Throughout the year, our imaginations entertain stories of leprechauns in Spring, and other supernatural beings in the Fall. Please enjoy an old time radio broadcast from 1949 featuring an invisible entity taking great steps to fool Harry Blackstone Sr., The Magic Detective. The episode is titled "Footsteps in the Night." At the end of the show, Blackstone will teach a trick that anyone can perform. Just click the track below and enjoy the show ... but remember not to tell anyone the secret you will learn!
