March 4th Lecture by John Sturk "From Here to Here"

Beginning in a remote resort town in northern Michigan as a busker, John Sturk has performed magic in nearly every venue imaginable - from restaurants to birthdays, from the sidewalk to the stage. 

John will discuss his magical career and share insights he's learned from 15 years of professional work. He also spent seven years as a project coordinator for Fun, Inc., America's largest magic manufacturer, is a producer for street performance at the Abbott's Get-Together, is past president of Assembly 3, and currently serving S.A.M. Midwest Regional Vice-President. He has won the Abbott's Stage and Close-Up Contests, swept both stage and close-up awards from Michigan Magic Day, and is twice a recipient of the S.A.M. Presidential Citation. 

Things you can learn in this lecture: 

• How to make your own mouth coils
• Perform a rising card effect with a BORROWED deck
• Tear and restore a newspaper (nearly) impromptu
• How to use improvisation to build a bond with your audience
• What makes a Classic of Magic a Classic

Free to Assembly 3 and CMRT members, $25 for guests.
