  ~ Quote from JEFF QUINN about AbraCORNdabra ~   

        Former S.A.M. Midwest Regional Vice President 
 National Magic Week Chairman      


I'm in a Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde situation.  Dr. Jekyll wants to tell everyone what a great time I had last year and how much I'm looking forward to it this year and encourage everyone to come."
"Mr. Hyde, however, wants to keep this convention as my private little secret because I don't want the other magicians in my market to be able to learn and buy all the cool stuff that's going to be at the convention." 
"Sigh, Dr. Jekyll is winning out.... 
AbraCORNdabra is too good to keep to myself!"

"I just saw someone produce a washing machine on stage at AbraCORNdabra........ I have to say, it was a first for me." :O)

Kevin Heller

******************************************

"Just got back from an incredible magic convention in Des Moines, Iowa.  My magician friends are going to drool when I tell them that I not only saw, but got to hang out with Johnny & Pam Thompson, Banachek, Allan Akerman, Wayne Houchin, Celeste Evans, The Hellers, The Ulins.....and dozens of old and new friends.  To my NON-MAGICIAN FRIENDS who just don't understand....many of these people are like magic royality.  Magicians voted Johnny & Pam one of the top 10 comedy magic acts in the world.  Allan Ackerman is ranked as one of the top card magicians in the world and Wayne Houchin is a creative genius.  Banachek is one of, if not THE top mentalist in the world.  The array of talent at this convention was astounding." 

"I am on magic overload right now............"

Jeff Quinn - S.A.M. Midwest Regional Vice President

 

********************************************

 This was a great convention. Great people, great guests, and all in all, a great time. That's what made it great! 

One of the highlights -- Celeste Evans. A classy lady, with a compelling story and she is one great interview. If you get a chance to see or visit with her, please do. Her story is interesting, inspiring, and above all, remarkable. She applied determination and creativity to rise to the top of the field at a time when it was almost completely male dominated. What a story.

Thanks to Steve and all the folks who made AbraCornDabra possible. I can't wait until next year!

Pix Smith - Owner/ Dallas Puppet Theater  

*********************************************

"...That was a fantastic convention! You did an amazing job of putting all that together, WOW! Rob and I were so inspired, we really are feeling a renewed enthusiasm for magic. We were inspired by Joe's powerful perspectives, Wayne's simple and fantastic magic, Banachek's brain power, Tomsoni the skilled master, and Kevin's info on Fairs. We've done that kind of work and understand the obstacles, and never realized it can be so lucrative, if done right. It's really got us thinking! Also it was wonderful to visit with you and Ben and Margaret, you all inspire us as so much. I just can't gush enough in an email about how grateful we are to know such creative people like the people we saw at AbraCORNdabra!   Also send our love to Magic Mom, she was fun to visit with."
