Ok, so who all is going to be there for the conventions (Abbott's Get-together, FAB Magic Celebration)??

I'll be there performing in FAB's tent show Saturday evening, and will have a display of my wares near FAB Magic on Fri & Sat. Looking forward to meeting many of you there. Stop by and say hello!

I will try to get by to say hi to you but I am usually tied up a lot backstage.

Richard

I'll he there Michael...looking forward to it! And looking forward to meeting you as well!

I'll do my best to stop by and see your wares Friday or Saturday. Are you going to have any of those wonderful Halloween looking props with you?

I will have Vampire Block Escape and Haunted House Card Rise on hand. I've sold out of the Spider Box.

If your looking for wood products then Michael Baker is the man with the plan. He has been so helpful to me and designed some customize props for my act. Make sure you stop to check out his work and talent.

Joseph Young

I am looking forward to being there and seeing many old (and young) friends.

I have a close-up show I'm excited to share with attendees. I think you're really going to like it.

See you soon.

John Luka

I'll be there. Maybe, I'll try out some new material while I'm there. I may have to fast-track some of my new projects, so I'll be looking for ideas.

Michael-
I'll look for you there. Will you have any of your Ball In The Box there for purchase?

I just checked and I have 2 left.

I will be at the Abbott Magic Convention. Next year is the 75th, so it should be a really big event. I'm going to get signed up this year for that one, since I'm sure the tickets will go fast. I can't wait to check out the showroom and see what Abbott's has in stock for this big event!

I'll look for you Friday, and if you have them with you, I'll buy one for sure. Looks like a fun little trick to carry around.

The Kalamazoo Gazette (had Greg Bordner on the front page last night) reports in it's article "Las Vegas comes to Mayberry" that the Friday and Saturday Abbott's shows are almost sold out.

It would be nice to sell out, we sold out the Flea Market and Closeup Convention, this would be the triple crown.

The shop has been busy and magic week hasn't even begun..or has it ? Lots of tickets being sold for the Friday and Saturday night shows! With Silly Billy and Michael Finney - how can you go wrong

for the latest!

Rick,

I'm surprised that your insurance agent will let us in the FAB Shop all on the same week. Look at the distance they put between Michael Baker and me. They still can't keep us separated and out of mischief. And look at all the others that will be there too! (We do have fun!)

Yep! This is going to be FUN! (See you tomorrow.)

Bob

PS --- No wonder they make us stay out of town.

Eli performs on Saturday afternoon. See all you great magic folks tomorrow.

It is great to see Michael Baker here in Colon at the Magic Get Together. Tonight he performs in new Magic Tent Show.

We really look forward to seeing this pro at work again.

Bob

Fun time guys. Great to meet plenty of folks that I've had the pleasure of speaking with here on the Café! Neat thing about the Magic Café is that it introduces us to people we may not have otherwise had a chance to meet just at the convention alone. Too many names to name, but consider that list to include all of the above that I ran into, and many more.

It was also a great pleasure sharing the stage with Michael Finney, Silly Billy, James Kesler, and of course Rick Fisher and Riley. Fast company to be in!!

Likewise, it was great seeing my friend from Alabama, Bob Sanders, as we shared space in the dealer area at FAB Magic.

I don't get the whole Fab feeding off The Get Together. Doesn't seem ethical to me. I would be quite PO. Anybody care to explain?
