#185 - Day 3 - T.A.O.M. 2014 Ft. Worth, Texas

As a belated update on the events on Day Three (now that my hands are better following carpal tunnel surgery), Dana Daniels delivered his "first ever" lecture for magicians at a magic convention. It was well done and covered a lot of interesting territory with "Finding the Funny", a lecture on how to find humor to put into your act. It was interspersed with anecdotes about his magical career. The afternoon had additional lectures that were well attended (and received) by Davd Chandler, Roland Sarlot and Susan Eyeds, and Master Payne. The close-up competition was featured as part of the afternoon activities, too. Before the school busses departed to whisk us away to the final night show, Master Payne presented a hilarious PowerPoint Presentation followed by the Contest Awards. A highlight of the evening gala show was Kevin James full 45 minute stage show complete with his full crew.

#183 - Day 1 - T.A.O.M. 2014 in Ft. Worth, Texas

Howdy, y'all! Welcome to Ft. Worth, Texas, also known as "Cowtown" and "Where the West Begins". But tosay is "When the Magic Begins" for nearly 500 magicians at the Marriott Reconnaissance Hotel in Sundance Square, downtown "Foat Wuth".

My show notes for this convention will be more brief than usual due to carpal tunnel hand surgery I had just the day before my departure. So please excuse my brevity as the fingers on one had can't fly over the keyboard like they could with two hands.

So, please enjoy the pictures I'll post along with the podcast. I should be back in the saddle soon.
