Saturday was MAGIC...literally


Not to brag, or anything, but those who attended our Ice-Breaker Social on Saturday the 26th February 2011, really got a lot for a measly R10. Although the crowd wasn’t huge, those who came were certainly entertained. Think delicious homemade hamburgers with crispy chips and yummy veggies. Combine this with one of South Africa’s premium sleight of hand artists, and you are bound to have fun.

The Fat Cow makes great burgers, probably because of their focus on, well, cows. It also makes amazing deep-fried camembert and onion rings for the veggies amongst us. We decided that some entertainment would also be a fun so we decided to hire a magician. Technically, Stuart Lightbody is a sleight of hand artist whose speciality is making things disappear. He certainly had the crowd in raptures (and ruptures with his witty comments). He reads your mind, astounds your senses and leaves you awfully befuddled. Everyone who was there will attest to his amazing abilities.

I would like to thank everyone who came and chilled out with the rest of us. The whole point is to make friends, meet more people and have a good time, without the fear of performing when you have only learned a step or two.

That will soon change, trust me. That’s why the next social will take place on the 12th March at Molly Blackburn. The theme: In Questionable Taste. So, bring out your moustaches, 80’s hairstyles, leopard print dresses and granny's costume jewellery. It’s going to be epic!
