Time Stamps:

00:00:19 - This is the first Collector Expo for Jania Taylor. She is the Chairman of the Board for the American Museum of Magic and is enjoying this convention.

00:13:40 - John Carney will be one of the performers who will be on the bill for our evening’s dinner. He chats about his experiences in attending many of these events going back to the 1980’s.

00:20:41 - Charles Greene III is working on yet another biography of a noted person, but this one is not necessarily a magician. His book on Ionia has been a best seller for him.

00:31:09 - We thank David Copperfield for opening his museum to the attendees and I give him some critical suggestion about the Women in Magic section of his collection.

00:36:00 - Stan Allen has been attending many of these history conferences since they used to be in Los Angeles. He talks about the rich history of this convention, plus he talks about MAGIC Live!

00:50:14 - David Sandy and Lance Rich are two of the forces behind the success of the Magic Collector Expo. In lieu of having Bill Smith chat with us, these two gentlemen give us a wrap of the day’s activities.
