July 12, 2011 Young at Heart Luncheon–Stan the Magic Man

Sorry, this is so late. I forgot that I hadn’t added this one, yet. Remember to click on a picture to see a larger version.

Tuesday, July 12, we had a very nice luncheon meeting. Nancy and Grace Averitt did a great 30 minute prelude prior to the beginning of our program.

This month we welcomed Stan Goode back to our group. This is the second time he has performed for us. The program was entirely new from last year. He involved me in telling the story of the Shepherd who left 99 of his sheep to search for one that was lost. When he found the sheep, he carried him home and celebrated.

Stan is very good with his tricks and illusions. I never figured them out!

I also enjoyed the way he involved our people. There were a couple of grand daughters present and it was fun to watch their reactions and he also involved one of them.

I forgot to ask is she saw where the rabbit came from!

No magic show would seem right without at least one rope trick.

One trick that I enjoyed involved a group of colored lights that seemed to defy logic. I could never predict what would happen!

And, of course no magic would be complete without a rabbit. I discovered that the children didn’t care so much were the rabbit came from, as long as they could touch, or hold, it!

Next month (August 9), we will feature our own Josh Hales in a vocal concert. Josh is our Teen Pastor (pastor for teens – he isn’t a teen anymore).
