Magic Trip Photos

[RickEverhart]

Our IBM ring took a road trip this past Tuesday to Marshall Michigan and Colon Michigan. In Marshall we visited the American Museum of Magic and in Colon we went to Abbott's Magic Shop and then to the famous cemetary where many famous magicians are buried.

In the pics you will see some famous items such as Houdini's case, Okito's traveling case, one of the first copies of The Discovery of Witchcraft (1500s), Doug Henning's original Zig Zag, and much much more.

Enjoy. It was a super trip.

Awesome. Sounds really cool that your IBM ring took a road trip! I hope ours does something like that soon... But we have our own pleasures...

We also went to a magic library across the street from the magic museum where there were thousands of library books from all over the world that are just now being card cataloged. Books that are not even in circulation any more. Ugh....it was sickening to see all of these books but not able to even check them out or read them.

Guys...I took about 40 pictures. I'm sure people would love to see more. Is there any way I can post like an online album with a link so you guys can appreciate all of the pics? I am not familiar with any free software or a way to do that. As soon as someone lets me know I will post the entire set of pics. I have a balloon gig today at noon and then a cookout so it may be late tonight.

I also have a kid's birthday party gig tomorrow. I am hoping to have a friend take some cool pics to post on here if the family gives me permission. I know them so I think they will be fine with it.
