Blackjack is one of the best games in the casino because the odds
between the player and the house are almost 50-50. Yet many players
make mistakes that push the odds heavily in favor of the house. If
you’re tired of getting beat because you don’t know whether to hit a
16 or when to double down, let an experienced Blackjack player
guide you through the game. This class teaches you how to play a
perfect Blackjack strategy, which gives you a fighting chance against
the house. We also cover card counting, which can actually push the
odds in your favor, discuss table etiquette, and even play a few hands
in class. Mat fee: $15 Thomas Gee is a casino gaming writer and
has been playing casino games for 17 years.

DISCOVER WHO YOU WERE BORN TO BE
67% of Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs - are you
one of them? We are all born genetically unique. We are also
born with special talents and abilities specific to each of us.
Unfortunately, due to social and cultural pressures, most of
us disconnect from those abilities at an early age. As a result,
most of us end up in occupations that are not satisfying and
that do not bring us happiness. If we learn to reconnect with
those abilities, we will discover the occupation or career we
were meant to be in. We will discover the one career that will
bring us happiness and wealth beyond what we thought was
possible. But how do we reconnect with those abilities we
were born with? Let the author of the book, “Born to Be”
show you how to:
• Reconnect with the abilities that make you a unique person
• Turn your abilities into your dream career or business
• Manage your dream career or business so that it is a success!
Stephen Bastien is a leading authority on entrepreneurship,
and has taught on the subject for Northwestern University.
His U.S. Business Journal daily e-newspaper is the oldest on

CHICAGO SEX TOUR
Take a walk on the wild side of Chicago. Host Ken Melvoin-Berg will
take you to some of the sexiest spots in Chicago to explore the kinky,
freaky and little known locations of Chicago’s sex industry. We will
examine Chicago’s sexy past when we go to the locations of the Everleigh
sister’s house of ill repute and the old Levee district where prostitution first started in the Windy City. We will also check out where the
prostitutes may be hanging out in the present (It changes from day to
day). But the highlight will be a trip to an S&M dungeon and several
places to do a little sexy shopping. The tour changes from time to time
so we may be going to an adult film shoot or bring you to a makeout
club, you never know where we’ll go! 18 and up only - ID required.
Clothing and polite attitudes required! Mat Fee: $20
Ken Melvoin-Berg has been rated in Time Out Magazine as the
best tour guide in Chicago (he is also one of the owners of Weird

“SECRET CHICAGO” TOUR
Take a tour of the wild and lesser known side
of Chicago. You will have the opportunity to
see the parts of Chicago that those in the know
would prefer you not see. Visit the cheap, but
unique dives and the more colorful emporiums of entertainment. See the dark and forbidden side that the City of Big Shoulders
supports, hidden in the shadows and the backways, places not included in the conventional cultural tours. Each tour is different and
may provide the chance to dabble with pagans and magicians, dally
with fetishists and get friendly with the non-conformists who never
make it into the regular tours. Your guide will open the doors normally locked to those without the right connections to get in. This is
the Chicago you will have to see to believe, because unless you’re
seeking out the obscure, you won’t read or hear about it without
your guide to its wild side. Time does not always permit leisurely food
stops, so it’s recommended that you eat beforehand. Ken MelvoinBerg is a professional psychic detective and ghost hunter. He is
an officer in the American Ghost Society and is the TAPS family
member doing the Chicago investigations for the SyFy Channel
show Ghost Hunters & has become Illinois director of state
operations to appear on Chicago segments of the new Discovery Channel show, Ghostlab. An internationally recognized
expert on the Supernatural, he’s also been on National Geographic,

SINGING SYSTEM
Forget about breathing exercises, “singing from your stomach” and
other “techniques” that usually get you nowhere, are confusing and
most importantly, do not get you singing “free and easy”, which is
what singing should feel like. This 3 hour seminar is geared toward
popular singing styles (rock, pop, R&B, country, jazz, blues and
everything in between), as well as microphone singing. Closet singers who enjoy karaoke, open mics, and professionals and serious
amateurs who want to switch from classical style to popular styles will
benefit from this enlightening seminar. If you need a new “lightbulb”
to go on when it comes to singing, this seminar is for you! All levels
and backgrounds are welcome! Singing is a great way to relax as well
as get over shyness, inhibition, and gain confidence. The instructor
uses a fun, enthusiastic, and nonjudgmental approach. Please do not
eat at least 2-3 hours before seminar and bring a bottle of water! And
come prepared to sing! We will do sing-a-long in addition to solo
singing. Hope to see you there! Kolette has been coaching singers in
popular/contemporary singing styles for more than 10 years. She
has performed around the Chicago area and currently offers private
coaching and consultation.

To get ANYWHERE as an actor, whether in film, TV, commercials,

wrong head shot can cost you hundreds of wasted dollars. In this
seminar you will study hundreds of actual head shots, & learn how
to get an excellent head shot for yourself. Handouts include:
• Checklist of things you need to do.
• Photographer list.
• Reproduction printers.
