Time stamps for this episode :

00:00:17 - Join us for a road trip from Houston to Fort Worth, Texas, as we talk about the upcoming magic convention. Traveling and talking with us is one of the dealers who will be at the convention, Harriet Jacobson.

00:05:38 - T.A.O.M. 2022 President Bronson Chadwick talks about his philosophy and vision for this convention.

00:12:45 - Gregg Lancaster and I recap the activities of the first day of the T.A.O.M. including the lectures and the evening show. Wow! Warning: honest report contained herein.

00:23:58 - we begin the first full day of the convention by clarifying some of what we overlooked or misspoke from the previous evening’s chat with Gregg Lancaster. We also chat with Carolyn Cummings (daughter of Kent Cummings) and Eugene Wilkes who have attended nearly 50 years of this convention. This was recorded at the Order of Willard breakfast.

00:33:11 - I hosted the stage contest where we featured brief chats with magicians between the contest acts. I was not allowed to encourage applause nor hype the acts in any way, so these little segments were perfect little “elevator talks” with guests who had entertaining things to share plus keep the audience entertained between competition acts.

00: 35:09 - First up was Rolando Santos, Past International President of the I.B.M. who talked about his role with The Linking Ring plus an overview of his lecture. Very interesting.

00:48:10 - Trixie Bond was a two time winner when she was a junior. She also talked about her presentation coming later tonight about some Texas magicians who have passed away.

00:55:28 - Jay Zugai chats briefly about his participation in this year’s convention with his lecture as well as close-up and stage show performances.

00:49:52 - Losander chats about his new theater in Las Vegas (Las Vegas Magic Theater) and the shows he does there.

01:03:22 - Lynetta Welch talks about her company, Fabric Manipulation, and how she sews new products and makes old products look new. She also gives us a sneak preview of what’s to come tomorrow in her lecture.
