Magic Tricks – Suspension Edition!

2. December 2024, 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Magic tricks are micro-techniques that make tying easier, smoother, faster, better… you get the picture. These tidbits cover everything from rope handling, tensioning, body manipulation, or quick tricks to make your life easier. They can be applied to any tying style and are often missed in the teaching of larger patterns or sequences.

This class looks at magic tricks with a suspension focus. Questions and requests welcome!

The class will not have specific time set aside to practice, but participants are welcome to tie along if they wish.

Minimum Knowledge Level: All welcome , though to get the most from this class participants should have knowledge of how uplines work and what makes a harness ‘suspension worthy.’ This class will talk about some tips for uplines but will not teach them fully, so this is not suitable as an intro to suspension./p>

Who is this event for?

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.

Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.

When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.

Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
