LECTURES

This year's FFFF was kicked off with Tom Burgoon's lecture, Wednesday night. There were many comedy items as well as some very practical and strong magic.

Tom taught a very cool application of the change bag using animal balloons.

Thursday morning we were treated to a fine lecture by Chicago's Jimmy "Cards" Molinari. Jim showed and taught some very fine items. Buy his notes and you can be doing some of these excellent card effects yourself.
