Expressions of interest wanted
Charles Gauci Workshop in second half of November

As you may know, Charles Gauci will be spending two months in the United States and Canada presenting his new workshop. While chatting with him, I suggested he might like to return home via Auckland. He is happy to do this as long as we have enough people interested in coming to his workshop. The investment is $NZ100.00. Magicians in North America will be paying $US100.00, making this a wonderful bargain for serious magicians. Please contact me by phone (535-2344) or email (esp@psychic.co.nz) if you think you would like to attend. I will need to hear from you by August 5th if you are interested in attending.

Also, Docc Hilford has emailed the bonus he promised to his workshop participants. If you attended one of his workshops, and have not yet received these, please let me know by email and I'll make sure you get them. Thanks.

Best wishes,
Richard Webster

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, now that my successful Centenary Convention is out of the way I can get back to leading a normal life. However, it has turned my life upside down.

Due to two excellent newspaper articles, my corporate bookings have picked up enormously to the extent that I have decided that after the next 12 months I will be limiting my overseas travel to lecture or deal at overseas conventions.

I want to get back to doing full time corporate work where it is simpler and less strenuous. After all I have toured the world at least 7 times during the past 9 years. Next year, my workshop tour will include Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Austria and France Ireland and Scotland.

For over 54 years magic has been extremely good to me and this is my way of really contributing something back. I will be holding nothing back.

Therefore, I have decided to extend my forthcoming workshop tour of the US and Canada to four hours per session beginning at 6.30 pm each evening. I will be tipping my very closely guarded effects in detail for instance giving an additional two methods for performing my Eye to Eye which you can make yourself.

Each attendant will receive the required apparatus for performing six of my commercial effects so there is nothing to buy. I will be also tipping my method of marking a deck of cards which can be seen up to 10 feet away without the participants noticing any markings on the back. This deck coupled with my memorized deck system will give you a very powerful tool. You have seen the staggering effects that Lennart Green produces with his tremendous skill. Using these two combined principles you will have at least 3 killer card effects.

The tour of USA and Canada will commence in Oct and November. I have cancelled the September bookings due to heavy corporate bookings at home.

The price is US$100 per head with a guaranteed minimum of 8 persons required. Recommended maximum is 25-30 persons. As each attendee will be receiving their own personal workshop kit a parcel will be mailed to each club's secretary prior to my departure so it is critical that the numbers be finanlized at least 30 days prior to my booked date as I will not be carrying any additional stock. Included in the kit will be a DVD with detailed explanations of all the effects and a performance of each effect

The average price of the effects will be US$10 so as you can see you are getting 10 commercial effects for your $100 entrance fee which is great value when you consider that if you bought them separately they would have cost you at least US$300.
