Sounds great, Bob. Whats the charge at the gate??? Do you know yet?? That might have some impact on some of us. I know the cost of going to SAM in Atlanta has stopped me cold. I heard its almost $300.

Tabman,

Our Magicians' Flea Market compared to the SAM Convention in Atlanta is not comparing Ducks and Ducks. This is a one day event with no known headliner show or lectures. But you can still do both. However, this one will save you that $300 right up front. If you can't make Atlanta in July, perhaps it frees up funds for magic bargains at the flea market.

There is NO Admission Charge.

However, admission is limited to magicians and their guests. You may be asked to give some showing of being involved in magic. Showing that you are a member of The Magic Café is an easy way! Having an IBM, SAM, Magic Castle membership, are also easy ways. Otherwise, you may have to be the guest of someone who can show that they are a magician. Doing magic is also sets very impressive credentials.

There is no advertising budget for a free event. The best way to learn about it is from other magicians and magician forum postings.

http://magicvalleymagic.com/ is the website

Of course, emails to MagicValleyRanch@MagicValleyMagic.com should get answers to specific questions.

Sounds great Bob, but I may not be married if I come to it. That is my wedding anniversary. Thelma Lou and I got married seventeen years ago.

still living in Mayberry

Barney,

I can understand that. On one of our wedding anniversaries Lucy and I did a two hour stage/theater show in the Davis Theater. I still hear about that at the most inopportune time. But a month from today we will hit the tenth anniversary. (We aren't old enough for it to be number 17. LOL!)

Seriously, Happy Anniversary! (September 11th). This is essentially a daytime thing so the night could be free.

One Mothers' Day I took Lucy to Bass Pro Shop. She actually liked it! They have a huge aquarium.

Fortunately, she enjoys magic. She has her own show.

Maybe Tabman will shoot and posts some video so you can visit later.

Bubba Whodini

that's a good idea. Ill pack some video gear in with the kitchen sink.

Forgot to check the date last night at home but we plan on being there. Will bring a van load of our merchandise and if you want a show we can do that also. Heck, your only 12 hours and 3 minutes away depending on traffic.

Things are growing faster than I ever believed. This has the potential of being much more than a magicians' yard sale. It certainly is much more than local. Magicians overseas are checking in!

Great!

Bob

PS --- The show I didn't plan to have is taking shape! There will be Friday night and Saturday night shows. http://MagicValleyMagic.com

If Colon can become the magic capitol of the world perhaps Clanton can become the magic capital of the south. We've been needing one since Tom Foolery moved out of Buckhead.

Bob, I emailed you at this address and haven't heard back. Is this a working email address?

Tabman,

Sorry for the delay, but YES! it is working (but so am I, LOL).

Thanks a million for the graphics. Things are moving right along. It appears that we will have a Saturday show and even a Friday show.

I'm very encouraged at how the message is traveling in magic circles, rings, etc. Folks are making plans to come.

I have scouted out motel rooms within 5-8 miles of the ranch and there is plenty of space to choose from, for a high of $79.00/night at Holiday Express to $34.95 at Scottish Inns. The closest is actually at Exit 208 (behind Shoney's) and that is Guesthouse Inn at $49.99 for up to 4 people. The others are at Exit 205. Most are about $50/night. There are six motels there! (This is very different from hunting a place to stay near Abbott's and FAB in Colon. LOL)

Progress is really being made.

Bob

I have it marked down on the calendar. Will be there for Friday also. What time are ya'll going to open up? Put us down for a show.
Ray

Wow! It's coming together! It looks like the Flea Market is Saturday. However, the magic begins late Friday and goes through Saturday night with shows!

PS --- It is wise to start reserving booth space now.

OK, theres now the beginnings of a website for the Magic Valley Ranch magic gathering in September. The site url is http://magicvalleyranch.org and updates will be added there as they come in.

Tabman,

That is great! Now I'll have to shoot some pictures.

Bob

http://MagicValleyMagic.com is also active now.

More information coming.

Tabman,

We just added another family of Texans who are coming for the event. They are also adding a very interesting exhibit.

Bob

This will be the biggest meeting of fleas, since we had our family reunion in Flea Hop, Alabama!

James,

There will even be an OFFICIAL FLEA CIRCUS here for the weekend. No Joke! Come see it!
