Just a shameless plug; the double faced Queens for McDonald's Aces (done with Queens) arrived yesterday so I will have them at Metro tomorrow.

Martini. It would be great to get to meet you tomorrow along with anybody else here I think David Corsaro will be there so it will be a great time.

As usual, excellent convention. Look forward to Metro Magic 6.
I shoud've picked up some of those queens from Marty but forgot. Next time.

Convention was fantastic. A "few" Café members mingling around too. The lecures were all great and you had to get something out of all of them. Very informative, fun and workers by Bill Wisch, Tony Clark, David Roth and Johnny Ace Palmer who was on fire this day.They were all fantastic and although we all have our favorites, I must state that Johnny Ace was in fine form. It shows why he has won many awards over the years, actually going back over 20 years now. Bill Wisch had faboulous ideas on double lifts and a fake classic force that made all who saw it say "why didn't I think of that"! He had lots to offer during his mini lecture. Bill has been in the game a long time. A true gentleman.Tony Clark had great ideas on timing and misdirection, obviously learned many years ago from Slydini and honed to perfection. Tony had a good time with the audience and was sharp with his humor, something I didn't expect. He also discussed using doves, caring for them etc but he also had a lot more to offer during his lecture. Rope escapes included.His coin work was awesome too. David Roth did his winged silver coins across,hanging coins and all the others you wanted to see and see we did. As usual, David was a master with his magical coins.All of these performers also did the evening close up show,rotating between 3 small rooms doing their close up set. Its a great set up. 3 small rooms with spectacular seating and viewing, very intimate. The performers rotate room to room and the audience stay in 1 room. A great idea and not a bad seat anywhere. Again, all performers in great form doing their thing. All did fantastic as expected. Mingling around was Meier Yedid, Doug Edwards,Mike Rubenstein and many others who tend to show up most every year. This was the 5th metro-magic.com convention and number 6 is already in the planning stages.The dealer room was buzzing with the latest and greatest and there were 'specials" happening throughout the day. See metro-magic.com for all the past present and future events around this 1 day close up extravaganza. If you have never been to this, you must attend!

I was bummed to miss this one this year. Hope my schedule allows me to see the next one next year. Sounds like you all had a blast!
