Speaking - Summer 2006

Summer is hot!
Magic is hot! Business
is hot! New items are hot!
Just back from the Annual SAM
Convention in
Louisville
,
KY.
There were 650 plus
attendees and the acts were good as well as was the lectures and
close-up shows! The dealer
room was exciting and
Louisville
is a great city! Home of Lance
Burton, Mac King and Okito lived there for years when he worked with
the Don Redmond Magic Company! (Some of Okito's finest pieces came out
of this era!) It also is
famous for the Annual Kentucky Derby and Mint Juleps and also the home
of Mohammed Ali (who loves magic.)
One of the highlights of the convention was a ride
on the "Belle Of
Louisville
," the oldest steamboat still in operation.

The convention was dedicated to our good friend, David
Goodsell, retired editor of the M-U-M Magazine.
David was the editor for 30 years and can you imagine
meeting deadlines like that each month for 30 years?
(Faget about it!) He
was a dedicated editor and the honor bestowed upon him was truly
deserved! He sure
didn't do it for the money!
He did it for the passion he has for magic and his lovely
wife, Jan, who supported him all of those years.
