11月17日（土）にBB Guest Session　第一弾として、ジョーハインドマン氏を招き、マジックショーとマジックトリックを習得するおもしろいイベントがビッグボウで行われました。 ジョーさんは、過去にビッグボウのハロウィーンパーティーにも来ていただいているので、生徒さんの中にもお会いしたことがある子もいて、とてもアットホームな雰囲気の中で面白いマジックを見せてくれました。 今回はジョーさんがトリックをみんなに教えてくれることとなっていたので、みんなもすごく楽しみにしていたみたいです。 普段は東海中学校で英語を教えてみえる先生ですが、マジックもプロとして活躍されているようです。 これからも、いろいろな形でこうしたビッグボウのゲストセッションを行っていきたいと思っています。
