I'll start here with this question.
I'm going to be back in Israel Jan. 16-23, 2015. I PM'd our friend Nimrod, asking him if anything "magical" is going on in Israel during that week. He answered stating there was a magic convention on Jan. 21-22. But he didn't tell me the name of it, where in Israel or really any other info. I tried my well-honed Google skills but I could not find any info for these dates. Nimrod says he's really busy with a new TV show he is involved with and return PM's from him are few and far between. So, I'm reaching out to this forum (to start) with a question. Does anyone have more info on this supposed event? |

Will you be using a time machine to get there Al?

Al, I did some digging last night and found some references to a convention there in this time frame a few years ago but nothing since. Nothing on any of the sites listing worldwide conventions.
But of course everything I found or searched for was in English. Good luck. (and if you really are going to be there Jan 16-23, 2015 let me know, I have some stocks I'd like you to buy for me).

Would that be "Magic at the Red Sea" (MARS)? It is a convention in Eilat? But, you would need to recalibrate your time machine, Al, since it occurs in late summer.
Maybe it is International Magicians Festival put on by the Society of Magicians (ISoM)? I do not see any event listed for last Jan...or this Jan, either. Perhaps it is a very local event. What city are you staying in?

It's the Israeli Society of Magicians, Thursday night Jan. 21, 2016, show and lecture with Jon Allen, in Tel Aviv. Friday morning, a private workshop with Allen in Kiryat-Ono. There was probably something lost in the translation when I was corresponding with my contact in Israel.
They called it a "convention," but it's really a show/lecture and then the private workshop. I'm going to both events. I'm in Jerusalem right now, will be moving over to Ramat Gan Thursday morning, which is midway between Tel Aviv and Kiryat-Ono. But it's 2017 here, something about a time portal we hit somewhere over the Atlantic, string time loop theory or something. (Okay, that should answer everyone's questions, or spur new questions) |

Hi Al,
Yes indeed, I'll be giving a lecture and workshop as well as doing a show. It's all crammed into two days! It will be great to meet you in person. I guess you'll be the one with the American accent? Shame you missed it first time around but thanks to time travel, you won't miss it again See you in a few days!

And it was great.
I got right back from Israel this past Saturday and had to leave again to cover a murder trial for three days this week. Trial is only 60 miles away, but I'm having to file stories almost daily, so I was staying at the location of the trial. And the location is over a number of mountain passes and the weather up here played a part in my decision to stay in town. I'm home now but I'm going to have to go right back out on Sunday for another four days of trial. I just got around to unpacking my Jon Allen goodies from the trip. So it's going to be at least 10 or so days before I can give a short report on the visit with Jon and the Israeli magicians. (can I call you by your first name, now that we've met ) But I promise I will. |

Hi Al. I think it's only fair you call me Jon if I can call you Al
