I went to this in 2007 and loved it. Great presentations, top names, and small groups. A top-notch convention. Dave and Kermit do a wonderful job.

We appreciate the kind words, but this convention wouldn't be were its at if it wasn't for the help of magicians in our area. Without that help at the start, it wouldn't have been as wonderful as it has been, and is going to be. Thanks to all those in the past for their time and prayers.

Another update as promised. Kyle Jarrard is our MC for our Friday night show.
We look forward to comedic presentations. If you have not seen Kyle perform, you need to.

Well that right there is a real good start on a great convention.

I look forward to being there...we's gonna have some fun!

Congrats on getting this back up and running. Best of luck.

Is there a website for this convention?

New confirmation......Dan Harlan will be lecturing and performing for us.

We are finalizing numbers with the other entertainers as quickly as possible.

More to come.

Great news, Kermit. Sallie and I look forward to a renewed Twin City Magic Convention. We have always enjoyed attending. I'll pass this along to our local group.

But wait there’s more!

Are you feeling the economic pinch? Would you like to attend a convention, but the whole 9 yards, is just a little too much at this time?

Well were here to help. For the first time (to our knowledge) this convention will be offered as a live feed via the internet. We are in the final stages of making the arrangements to pull this off.

What are the costs?

The cost for the internet viewing is 10.00 less then the above mentioned prices. You still save by registering early as well.

What do you get?
You will be provided access info to the convention site. The camera will go on 30 min - 1 hour prior to the opening of each day and remain on until 30 min - 1 hr after the final act/lecture. You will be able to email questions for the lectures as well as order they notes or items for sell via this method as well. The feed will be copyright protected for the sake of our entertainers. (Disclaimer) anyone caught attempting to copy, recording and selling, etc. the information provided during this event will face legal action.

Now if something happens and things change for any reason regarding any part of the convention we will keep you updated.

So when/how can you register? That will be announced this Friday.

Ladies and gentlemen it is underway.

Is it true that watts will be performing in the competition?

Update: KENDRICK ICE MCDONALD is now confirmed!

We have recieved the numbers for the Internet part and it is going to be quite an investment, but as for now it is still a go.
