Another surprise! Too late to make Linking Ring but you will know about it here!

It is Magic Ian (AKA Ian Garrison)! For many years he was the creative mind behind the new stuff we looked for in every new Tannen's Catalog.


You'll value every minute of his time you can get.

We do expect three people at Magic Valley Magic this time that are not magicians but important to professional magicians.

Two are costumers. Need a costume for professional appearance? Here is your chance.

Many of you have no booking agent. Here is your chance to make contact with a booking agent. Are you up for it?

One of the acts back for the third time is Murf (John A. Murphy) from San Antonio, Texas.

Come see why! (We steal him from The Cavalcade of Magic in the Ozarks.)

Look for the ad in Linking Ring.

Yep! Autumn Morning Star is BACK!

See you October 5-6 at Magic Valley Magic.

Sorry for the delay folks. I had a heart attack Thursday and was out of circulation until today. I got back home today and things are full speed ahead for October 5-6 for Magic Valley Magic. Lucy and I look forward to seeing you here at the ranch then.

Bob & Lucy

Jeez, Bob!! I hope you are OK??

Bob, be well. I plan on orlando hat weekend, but if that falls through, I'll bring my tent and head west to your place.

I don't suppose we have to remind you to take it easy and listen to the doctor --- I'm sure Lucy is on top of that.

Murf

P.S. We mad some Banana Nut Bread this weekend, using some of those good Alabama nuts!

Tomorrow, Dr. Lucy goes with me to SEAM in Atlanta. (I will be listening to the doctor!) Except for lifting, I'm full steam ahead. Since the "ticker" repair, I am more spry than ever. September 20, I go back to see about the rest of the surgery we still have to go. The hard part is supposed to be over. Apparently, they thought 99% blockage was a crisis! Rush, rush rush!

By time for Magic Valley Magic, I should be healthier than any of you ever remember. But I will still be on lifting restriction for a while. Then we can go back to bowling ball from TT.

I look forward to seeing you folks there.

I'll need help with this rabbit.

Hmmm, that rabbit looks a lot like a clone of my friend Maisey --- what kind of spooky things are going on on that ranch???

Murf

Murf,

You are in Texas. That's not a Texas Jack Rabbit?

Bubba Whodini

Maybe a small one, without the antlers. But you're in Alabama.

This flyer ads my name to the list.

Hopefully Bob will fix the one on his site.
I will be bringing Chuck Smith who will have his video-zine "Enigma" with all back issues of the great articles and interviews.

Other Motel rooms in the very near area.

Due to a change in performance schedules Autumn Morning Star is not going to be able to be with us this year. We will miss her but understand why she should take the other schedule.

However, you are going to be happy with other additions to the performers expected this time.

Well that kinda sucks Bob!

We will get Autumn back here for something later. But if you knew the deal she got, you certainly could not blame her. It is more than many magicians make all year.

You won't be short on entertainment and professional experience brought to the event by others (some not even listed!).

Dan Harlan will knock your socks off!

Wait until you see the crews from Florida! You will quickly see why Magic Ian is the secret weapon of even Vegas magicians.

You will also get a shot at talking to Ray Witkowski from PA. Ask a pro about prop building.

Kevin Sanderson from Harrah's can also knock your socks off! See why he stays busy.

If you need to talk to a real booking agent, that is available here too!

Bruce Walstad will expose swindles and con games you never recognized.

Don't forget the magicians' flea market. I don't think some magicians ever leave the flea market!

Need custom costumes? See Annie while you are here. (Maybe you can eat boiled peanuts while you discuss things! She does those too!)

It is indeed a family reunion of entertainers for entertainers. See who you do meet. Come take part.
