We should have at least one good lecture this time on Strolling Magic. What would like to see?

I haven't been to a convention in a long time. It's been over 7 years since I have gone to one. I moved up to my childhood home in Virginia and I just might make my way down there.

Please do! Even better take part!

Give me a call

Working on the Lecture Schedule for the Magic Valley Magic Weekend. Here are a couple of topics that might interest you into attending a weekend of free magic:

Randy Blaine Naylor: "Mental Choice as a closer, why am I sitting through this?"
Randy has been performing since the late 70's during service in the Air Force. By the early 90's, he and his brother started restoring old magic and he's been making magic and been twisting balloons since then. He's performed and lectured at the Cavalcade of Magic in Eureka Springs, AR and has performed at the Abbot's Get Together for Nine Years. He markets about a dozen routines with his Twin Brother Rex and they call their business RandR Magic.

David B. Magic: "Customer Service Magic"
David B.(Bilan) has performed magic on and off since the age of 9. In addition to being the MC at Magic Valley for the past couple of years, he's been an Army broadcaster, radio DJ, TV news reporter/photographer and a Video Producer/Directer making documentaries and training videos for the US Army. For the past 13 years, he's managed a multimedia facility at Fort Campbell, KY. Part of his job is giving training to leaders and staff in Customer Service. What does this have to do with magic? Business! If you want to make money, you need to know how to handle customers. How would you like to develop a life-long positive relationship with your customers? What's the best way to diffuse a tense situation with an unhappy customer? These questions will be answered along with important info on building your business and avoiding stress.

More lectures to be announced... Make plans to be at Magic Valley Magic Weekend October 6th and 7th in Clayton, Alabama.

Yes, conventions are expensive. That is simply a fact.

However, and advantage of Linking Ring is that helps you make financial and geographic choices about the conventions you visit and even if you might be allowed to participate otherwise.

Check out the August Linking Ring for the ad for Magic Valley Magic. This is the 8th Annual Magic Valley Magic and IT IS FREE! ---- As usual, it is the first full weekend in October. This year that is October 6-7. Join us and take part.

Email me if you like.

YEA!

It appears that we have escaped the problems hurricane Irma had planned. That also matters for motel rooms, dinning facilities, repair requirements, etc.

Join us October 6-7, 2017. It is still FREE!

I don't have a vehicle right now but if anyone is heading up from my area, I am game.

Tommee I sent you an email.

IT's HERE!

Friday is the first day of the 8th Magic Valley Magic. October 6-7, 2017
