Here's some more info about Bob...
Best Lecturer of the Year at the world famous Magic Castle ... and now you can see why.
After 40 years in magic Bob Sheets is a triple threat--proficient at Close-up, Stage, and Bar Magic. The lecture includes items from all of these forms with specific attention to close-up and walk-around magic with material from his new dvd series "Bob Does Hospitality". The walking through the rope known as "Hang 'em High" is pure magic that anyone can do, and the bar and close-up items are sure-fire audience-tested material. No one does the 3 shell game better than Bob. No fluff. All of Bob's routines have been tested in true-life performance conditions. Bob's thirteen years in the bar and restaurant biz allowed him to perform more shows than most magicians perform in their entire career. Here is experience for all levels to draw from and he's a pretty funny guy, too. The lecture should be well received by beginners as well as the seasoned or over seasoned practitioners of our art.
Bob Sheets from Washington, D.C. via San Diego, Chicago, & Aspen. Behind Bob's humorous presentation style is experience gained from one of the most diverse work histories in Magic. Serious credentials in a variety of venues include Circus and Side Show performer, Shopping Center Magic promotions, Magic Bartender, Street Magician, Bar/Restaurant Owner, Renaissance Festival performer, Magic Dinner Theater entrepreneur, Trade Show crowd stopper, and Sales Meeting wake-up artist. Bob lectures and performs for magicians all over the world, including England, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Australia, Japan and India.
In 1996, Bob won first place in London at the prestigious "Ron MacMillan World Close-up Magic Contest." Bob was featured on the cover of MAGIC Magazine in July 2004. Best Lecturer of the Year at the world famous Magic Castle ... and now you can see why.
IF YOU GO TO ONE LECTURE ALL YEAR THIS SHOULD BE IT. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE AND FUNNIEST PERFORMER/LECTURERS YOU WILL EVER SEE!!!

So, I hope that gets you really excited about this SPECIAL LECTURE (which will take the place of our regular Sunday meeting) on MONDAY, MAY 12, 7pm.

Let's have a BIG turnout for this lecture. And bring along some extra money...I'm sure Bob will have stuff to sell, along with lecture notes.
