This is just a brief notice to let you all know of several interesting things happening in Atlanta's magic scene.

First and foremost, we are hosting the 75th anniversary convention of the Southeastern Association of Magicians this August. This organization was strongly associated with Hal Martin for decades, and after his death it has had its ups and downs. This year, though, is a big UP! Our convention, August 8-10 in Atlanta, will feature a few of our familiar Atlanta stars (Dan Garrett, Max Howard, Eric Anderson) and our close-up headliner, Michael Ammar. For more information see http://www.seam2002.org

Our two Atlanta magic clubs -- IBM Ring 9 (The Georgia Magic Club) and SAM Assembly 30 (The Atlanta Society of Magicians) --- both have web sites online. If you find yourself traveling through Atlanta, you can probably get in touch with most magicians by checking out the sites. Ring 9 is at http://www.gamagicclub.com and Assembly 30 is at http://sam30atlanta.tripod.com

The Georgia Magic Club also has an online discussion forum you can use to interact directly with us whether you're coming to Atlanta or not. If you're planning a lecture tour, or if you have any other information you'd like to share with Atlanta's magicians, this is a good place to start: http://forums.delphiforums.com/ring9/start

Folks, I have been attending magic conventions for over 40 years now and I can tell you this is one of the finest conventions in magic.

Atlanta is beautiful in summertime with a fabulous public transportation system and lovely old homes converted into brilliant bed and breakfast accomodations for visitors. I most highly recommend this convention.

Rumor has it that Joe Turner may actually attend and do a bit of magic.

This convention is also a bargain by entry fee. Check out the details on the web site that Joe posted above.

Best Always,
Ray
