Paul Wilson Lecture at The SIM

Paul Wilson lectured at the SIM for their June meeting to help celebrate John Bowden's 30 years in magic.  A huge crowd, many travelling long distances, were on hand to lap up the stunning magic Paul performed and thought.  Paul has incredible technique and is quite capable of dealing seconds , middles and bottoms all night long but the material featured in his lecture was kept within the technical grasp of everyone present.  His card at any number was a particular highlight for your editor.  You an view the photos of the night on our Flickr stream by clicking on the link on the right menu.

As an aside, it was really wonderful to see such a great turnout. Hopefully we can all continue to support events like this all over the country.  Well done everyone.
