Coming May 27: Lecture by Ryan Kane

On May 27, fire up your computers, grab a beverage, and enjoy a fun and entertaining lecture from Bay Area magic legend Ryan Kane.

Ryan Kane is one of the premiere magical entertainers in the Bay Area. His engaging magic and endless wit have thrilled audiences at his regular show at the EXIT Theatre, trade shows, and events for Fortune 500 companies. And you'll get to enjoy Ryan's experience and knowledge in his exclusive and rare magic lecture.

This lecture will be aired live via the Zoom platform on the date and time listed below.

ABOUT THE LECTURE
Ryan has just published his first book, "Out of Stock: A Magician's Guide to Writing Your Own Lines." This is a book for the performing magician or variety artist who is ready to get serious and move beyond using the standard lines. Ryan provides a step-by-step process to replace the stock and stolen jokes in your show with fresh original content. It is the same process that he used to transform his act from a clone into something he could be proud of.

In this online, interactive lecture, Ryan will lead a discussion about how to remove old, outdated stock lines from your routines, and he'll guide us through the process of rewriting a joke together.

Buy his book now at Amazon: ebook $9.99, paperback $15.99.

Meeting on May 13, 2020: Free online lecture by Robert Ramirez

Dear Ring 216 members and friends,

On May 13, fire up your computers, grab a beverage, and enjoy a professional lecture from a rising start in magic, Robert Ramirez.

Robert has performed in all five showrooms at the Magic Castle in a single year. He has  performed at Magic Live, Genii, and Blackpool magic convention. He's also an accomplished actor having starred in the national tour of the Tony-winning musical IN THE HEIGHTS.

This professional lecture will be aired live via the Zoom platform on the date and time listed below. Ring 216 is offering this paid lecture as a free gift to all members, friends, and guests during this challenging time.

ABOUT THE LECTURE
This lecture will cover strong magic routines with props that can be made at home using simple things as glue, tape, rubber bands, balloons, paper bags, cards, and magnets. Physically creating a magic trick you're going to perform is one of the most fulfilling things you can do. It helps a part of creativity that can only be unlocked by doing. We will also discuss looking through old magic books and updating them for current times.
