Stan allen worked for us in the 60-70's tell him hello for us - ,Ralp & Ann (russo)Rousseau formely SAM#22

Say, am I allowed to film the acts, lectures, etc., for private view, use, and study? Not for posting online or anything. Thanks!

Through an apparent misunderstanding or miscommunication, Harry Lorayne was added to the list of performers in error. I contacted him because I hoped to see him there, and he was surprised to learn that he was listed. It is not a case of withdrawing or canceling, because he never planned or agreed to travel to Indianapolis.

Unfortunately for all of us in attendance, we will not have the pleasure of seeing him there.

Disappointing!
