As convention planners for the 2009 S.A.M. National Convention continue to fine tune programming, it is also time for conventioneers who are going to bring trading pins to plan to order them before it gets too late. We are always amazed at the creative and handsome designs our members come up with every year since pin trading was introduced at our conventions. Both individuals and assemblies enjoy swapping their pins with others. It gives people an opportunity to meet other magicians and learn about them as they acquire magic themed memorabilia.

There are a number of companies that can be found on the internet that make custom order pins. If you are looking for a place to order some, contact John Apperson who will be able to suggest a few companies. Show your pride in your local group…or yourself…by producing a pin to exchange with new and old friends.
