Hmmm ... This isn't a impossible line up but a good one to say the least.
SEE YA |

No, it's not an impossible line up but it's exactly what we wanted, an opportunity to session with these specific guys.
Since several of the lecturers simply don't do conventions and they all fit the term "underground legend" I'd say it's a pretty solid line up for the close up enthusiast. I'm often tempted to point out my reasons for choosing each of these guys as lecturers but suffice to say, we've got some guys that have been at the heart of magic longer than most of us have been alive and some guys that are at the cutting edge of magic and every one of them has a lot to share that hasn't been overexposed. For a true student of magic, this is gonna be one of the best conventions ever because we set it up with that person, a person like us, in mind. Dave |

Anyone that has fooled Charlie Miller with a DL is someone that every close-up practitioner should have a chance to meet.

Anyone who passes up a chance to see and interact with Ron Bauer doesn't have a clue as to what magic is all about.
If for some reason you're not hip as to how important Bauer is, take a look at the picture in the 216 in the second volume of The Vernon Chronicles. Yep-- Vernon, Marlo, Charlie Miller & Ron Bauer. Ron was instrumental in getting Vernon and Marlo to meet. Steven Youell |

Ron was instrumental in getting Vernon and Marlo to meet. I don't know how instrumental he was in getting them to meet, I know he was instrumental in gettng Marlo out to the convention in 1985 and the Castle. I wish I could make it out there. It sounds like a great line-up and great fun. I've never had the chance to meet Ron but of course have heard about him throughout the years. It would also be great to meet Steven, I think our paths have not crossed yet also.

My entire lecture will consist of variations on the material of Jimmy 'Cards' Molinari. I find it much easier to come up with lecture material this way...

I am going to the LVMI the weekend (kind of) before this convention, but the GGG is the one that I am most excited about. Many of the performers are people that I have only heard stories about and generally the stories sound too good to be true. My excitement, however, is fueled by the fact that these people probably are as good or better than I have heard. Of the people I have seen, I know that they are the real deal and awesome.
Just the lineup sounds like a real treat, and I shudder when I think about the talent coming to the convention just as attendees. The convention is sure to be a blast and the shenanigans that ensue will probably be fodder for many stories. I will be heading up there with the Twins, I believe, on Wednesday or Thursday so be ready for awesome times. Way to go GGG organizers! Cheers, Ricky Smith |

For those who have not seen Steve Dobson, he is incredible. I'd go just to see him again if I were closer.

Is that the one where you did the Sponge Balls and Hippity Hop Rabbits? Or was it the one where you released the DVD, "Hacking the Parasol"?

To Jimmy,
Yeah, I had to skip FFFF this year because of bad timing. However, I expect I will be there next year if they will have me back. Everything is going pretty well except that I am on the mend having broken a leg. However, I will be hobbling around a couple of conventions next week, so I am very excited. Hopefully you are doing well and our paths will cross soon. To Steve, I did see your lecture last year and was highly entertained. I'm sure this year's will be just as entertaining and informative. Perhaps it will touch on the Diagonal Palm Shift? Anyway, whatever you decide to present will probably be sheer delight, and I look forward to it. Cheers, Ricky |

Wasn't Steven taken into custody for "Hacking the Parasol" in front of a paying crowd?

No, when the judge learned that the parasol was only part of a costume for Bay to Breakers, the case was dismissed. By the way, I just saw a list of some of the people who will be attending this get together. That lineup is pretty impressive as well. There's going to be a lot of sessioning with some of the best this year.
Best, Dorian Rhodell |
