Just finished working he Branson Magic Bonanza in Branson, Missouri hosted by Marty and Brenda Hahne. Wow..what a great convention! The audiences were great..they had us performers in a Branson theater to do the show, plus we had a very accommodating hotel, and some great lectures. If you have never gone (this was my first trip..although I was performing/lecturing), you owe it to yourself to go next year. I work a lot of conventions and this one was very professional and ran like clockwork! Hats off to my friends Marty and Brenda !!

Sam..yes,they did have the ice cream social plus on a different night, a pizza party. It was a great conference and very much a "must do" for anyone wanting to learn from some of the top notch performers in the country. I give it 5 stars!!

I had heard that several of the "non-magic" stars of Branson came to the ice cream social as well. Sounds like they all support one another.
I have only been to Branson once...not to the magic convention...and it was a family-oriented fun atmoshpere!

I have attended a couple of Branson Magic Bonanzas. Marty & Brenda put together a top notch convention & always bring in top flight performers. This is the one convention for performers who really want to improve their shows, not just learn tricks.
Congratulations Marty & Brenda for another great convention!!! Keep up the good work & thank you for helping us becoming better performers. Mark

Thanks Mark, for the fantastic job you did for us, and thanks to you folks for the nice comments!
This year, we took our Stars of Magic show out of the hotel, and into a proper theater...the Hamner Barber Theater, home of magician Dave Hamner and ventriloquist Jim Barber. We had such a strong lineup, I wanted to give the acts a proper setting. Here's the lineup: Quick Change Magic of Stoil & Ekaterina, Comedy Magic with Denny Haney (who also MC'd) Ventriloquist Mark Wade, The Magic of Dan Stapleton, and to close, the incomparable Great Tomsoni & Co. (John and Pam Thompson). Hard to find a better lineup anywhere! So many great moments this year, such as Tom Mullica stopping by to introduce Johnny Thompson's lecture. Then going to see Tom perform his Red Skelton show. The ice cream party, with John and Tom, plus all our stars, plus several Branson stars stopping by. Or how about the not very often seen Denny Haney, delivering his fascinating lecture which ran over two hours! No tricks, just tons of tips, stories and advice, from a lifetime of performing experience. Jason Hudy with his most informative marketing lecture...Jason is the young man who figured out a way to get himself booked on the Craig Ferguson Late Late Show! I'm barely scratching the surface. Suffice to say, it was quite a week, and we're already working on some cool ideas for next year! Hope to see YOU at the 2012 Branson Magic Bonanza May 3 - 5. |
