I am so happy to say that registrations have exceeded our expectations this year. We are over fifty percent more in registrations this year compared to last year. Thank you to everyone that pre-registered for the discount rate. In the last two days alone we received dozens of registrations. We are getting close to our cap-off and feel confident we will reach our goal. If you are trying to wait for a walk-up registration, wait no more. Registration is now $150.00 so take advatange and give someone an early Christmas present, book today. We are meeting soon to get final numbers and will keep you posted on how close we are getting for those that are still waiting for the last possible weekend get-a-way. You will want to be here! Trust me.

Cheers,

Matthew McCoy

EVERYONE WHO IS 17 and under!!!

If you are a junior and coming to Magic at the Beach please email info@magicatthebeach.org and let us know
if you are interested in attending the Junior Pizza Dinner. We are supplying drinks, pizza, and popcorn and
hosting a dinner party before the All-Star Cabaret show that you can enjoy and eat with ALL the MATB performers,
ask questions,perform for them, and watch them do some impromptu magic. This is only open to the youth and
MATB staff will be provided to chaperone. Space and pizza is limited so please let us know if you plan on participating.

REGISTRATION ANNOUNCEMENT:
Registration is reaching the cap-off. We have about fifty more slots to go which are expected to come in after the
Christmas Holidays. MATB staff have decided if we receive more than the allotted number it will be a first come,
first serve basis, in which the order of your registration was received. We will put the extras on a waiting list and
then if no one drops out a refund will be issued. Don't miss out on this event. Plenty of surprises are still to come.
I know we have a lot of "regulars" waiting and I simply hope those guys aren't the ones to miss out hanging this year.

McBride SUPER SESSION is filling up nicely also. Those still interested please contact Roman LePree
at info@magicatthebeach.org. I believe five or so spaces left on that as well.

Happy Holidays,

-Matthew McCoy
MATB Talent/Show Director

WAIT!!!! One more dealer!!! Sorry.

Seo-Magic:
Their original shop is in Hiroshima, Japan. Seo Magic is famous for Kabuki Streamers and
Snowstorms in use all around the world for many years by many famous magicians. In the
past, their products were only available in Japan or at Magic Conventions, and it was very
difficult to purchase our products in the United States. Their mission is to bring you the
best magic from Japan with the ease of buying it all over the world.

Why wait?? Registrations are limited. Cut-off of 250 is approaching.

If there is anyone that is attending the convention that may still need a roommate to save some money, message me. I know the rooms are at a great rate already, but you could still use the extra money.

We just had another jump in registration yesterday after people got Christmas money in.
We are looking at about 35 spots left. If you want that to be you register today!
We may be able to squeeze in more but don't count on it. If anything a waiting list will be made.
If you haven't already go ahead and book your rooms as well. I know the ocean front view rooms
are almost sold out. I believe only in the "teens" are left. If you want to stay at the hotel of the
convention I would get your room ASAP. Thanks to all who have decided to make their first
convention in 2012 Magic At the Beach. You won't be disappointed. Have a Happy New Year
and see you in a few short weeks.
