LECTURES: Naturally, the top attraction of the weekend's events will be lectures by all 4 of our mega-star magicians: David Regal, Aaron Fisher, Nathan Kranzo, and Steve Dobson. These are some of the hottest performers and lecturers in the world - and wildly entertaining people! You can bank on learning a lot from each and every one of them!
APPROACHING MAGIC WORKSHOP: David Regal has been hired by countless magicians to collaborate with them in developing their presentations. He's written about how he approaches this in his book "Approaching Magic". In this workshop, free to all, you'll see the actual process in action, as David works with audience members to further develop some of their own effects.
MARQUEE CLOSE UP SHOWS: You'll see all 4 of our heavyweights doing close up shows genuinely close up. They'll each be performing in 4 different rooms at the same time, then they'll repeat this 4 times so everybody will get to see each one in this intimate setting!
PANEL DISCUSSION: We'll have our 4 headliners on stage together talking about topics of their choosing as well as topics you bring up. Watch the chemistry take it's course!
JAM SESSIONS: An array of host magicians will lead a series of workshops. We have some top guys who are all experts on subjects you're sure to be interested in learning more about! We're also sure to have many informal jam sessions, with any and everyone rolling up their sleeves and digging in!
CONTEST: Stand-up parlor magic, where the magic can be seen by the audience, without doing it flat on a table. Each person gets 2-6 minutes. Prizes include over $300 in no-strings-attached magic store certificates, plus other items donated by the lecturers! Prizes given to 1st and 2nd place. Email us to sign up.
DEALERS TABLES: In addition to magic dealers having tables, we're also supplying a special communal table where anybody can swap or sell their own items.
THE MAN, THE MIND, THE MAGIC: Screening of the Jerry Andrus documentary, with the director Robert Neary making a special appearance to say a few words and answer questions. Link to movie and trailer (Note that we're currently having trouble finding a good spot for this.)
