WHY?
Early in my magical journey, I was a huge fan of Doc Eason. I devoured all of his articles in Michael Ammar’s Magical Arts Journal and ordered all of his videos. I had them on VHS (yes, THAT long ago…) and would watch them over and over again. I was most fascinated by his style rather than the actual routines. He was always so smooth and incredibly well rehearsed that his presentations were the most natural I had ever seen. The pacing of each phase of his performance was conversational and comfortable to watch.
KC Magic News March 2026
RING 129. HEART OF AMERICA RING. Meets first Thursday of every month at Kick’s Comedy Theatre. 4010 Pennsylvania Ave, Kansas City, MO 64111 President: Kelly Rusk,
Ring 129 report for February 2026.
Mark Strivings braved a snowstorm to get to the KC area in time to present a scheduled lecture January 26. The lecture consisted of several routines that could be performed with items we have on hand—cards, dice, etc. One thing that I liked is a practice that used to be commonplace but is rare nowadays—all of the routines that he taught were included in a ten-dollar set of notes that he had for sale. He did have a number of other items for sale, but these he presented only after the lecture itself had concluded.
