Our first meeting in September is extremely important. We will be voting for the Officers who will lead our assembly for the upcoming season. Please make every effort to attend so we can establish a quorum and proceed with the vote.
September Feature: Michael Kaminskas 2026 Lecture
Following our assembly business and voting, our September programming features a lecture with something for everyone.
Michael Kaminskas will elevate your close-up and parlor magic by teaching methods and techniques adaptable to any performance situation. He is an internationally recognized author, creator, performer, and consultant who regularly weaves magic into presentations for Fortune 500 companies.
Dubbed the "King of the Cups" by the late Mike Rogers, Michael manufactures the finest cups, balls, and chop cups in the world. His work has been featured in nearly every trade publication, including a coveted cover story for the M-U-M magazine of the Society of American Magicians.
"It is extremely obvious that Michael fully understands the difference between something that is magic and something that is magical."
— Howard Hamburg
Just some of the incredible magic you will learn:
My CCR: Michael’s go-to Chop Cup routine. It is packed with magic and skips the standard audience guessing games.
WAVE: Make a card box vanish with just a wave of your hand to remove the deck. This twist on a classic plot was featured in his act at the world-famous Magic Castle.
Anniversary Travelers: A unique take on the Anniversary Waltz. Two signed selections are removed from separate pockets, fused together back-to-back, and given away as a souvenir.
D2D: Silver dollars are produced at your fingertips and then visually change into paper bills for the ultimate eye candy.
See you on September 8th! Please make every effort to come out, support PA1, and support magic!
