I know I will be there...but who else is going to the Magic Capital of the World this August!!!
James

Always but I spend so much time backstage some people don't even know I am there.

They don't make a better stage manager than Richard Hughes.

I highly recommend the 5 star pizza.

My proctologist! I never heard it referred to as the magic capital?

I am not a stage manager and have never claimed to be...I just try to keep things moving. Mark Holstein is the Stage Manager at Abbott's. I just push boxes and pull curtains.

But thanks for the thought anyway.

Richard

I will be there with my son. This is the first time at the Abbott's convention for us. Mark Holstein highly recommends this one. It should be fun.

I have the great luxury of living only 45 minutes away from Colon- so I always go to every evening show and pop in and out during the week between work hours. I can honestly say "Magic Week" improves every year- I think I enjoyed myself more last year than ever before. The evening shows and the matinee were top quality. With Abbott's, FAB Magic, Sterlini Magic, additional dealers at Abbotts', street dealers, multiple lectures, contests and shows: there is plenty to do! Duane Laflin's lecture you cannot afford to miss if you are an FCMer. I also enjoy Rick Fisher's wonderful hospitality at FAB- it gives folks like myself who don't have a room a place to hang out, laugh and share before and after the shows. See you there!

I just heard thet Syd Abbott is in town for the summer...I can not wait to get to the Magic Capital in a few weeks...

Lots of people in town that week including

The Balsters, Bob Brizendine, Mark Cannon, John Cannon, Mike Caveney, Paul Emmick, Keith Fields, Chris Hart, Bob Higa, Marien Hopman, Tina Lenert, Mark Merchant, Billy Pitts, George Saterial, Maria Schwieter, David williamson, Buddy Moorehouse, Yo Master Zeemo

Also a classic car show on Saturday to add to the festivities

I'll have more on the Get Together on the 4th of July (convention dates are Aug 4-7, 2010) including the first Abbott Magic Compendium (free download/pdf) which will be more most comprehensive Get Together info for both past and present events.

In the meantime you can check out http://www.magicgettogether.com for more info and http://www.abbottmagic.com to register for a show, a day, or the entire event.

Hope to see you all in Colon

Chuck...can you post a link to the video that contains some of the posters and programs from the Get-Together...I think magicians will like it!!! I did.

Plus, FAB Maigc is just a neat place to hang out- Rick provides the chairs and the roof over your head. That means a lot to many of us to give us a location to gab between lectures and after shows- much appreciated! So buy something from him too- Rick has both new and used items. Ask Krag (a former magic shop owner himself) to demonstrate- he literally loves to show you stuff you can do and use- including giving you lots of new ideas. He showed me his invisible ink routine last year- I still have it and use it. Krag's wife got for my wife last year a funny gag note from Gay Blackstone herself- it is still on my refrigerator door.

Be there ? I live there part-time, only 19 days to go

I'll be there for sure.

Ron Jaxon

Looking forward to taking a look at the new chop cup.

I'll be there, too.

Just got some cool news. Sean Bogunia and I will have a booth in the show room and Steve Fearson will be joining us.

So stop by and see us. I am excited to be able to hear and have conversations with you all.

And yes, we'll have some cupwow with us.

Ron Jaxon

I'll be there, although I will skip all or most of Saturday's festivities because of a gig.
