Truly the most emotional and powerful highlight of the Seminar came at the awards show when Rich Bloch introduced Seigfried and Roy, and the curtains parted and there they stood – the sponsors’ of the World Magic Seminar standing center stage.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. My emotions came on strong both to see how good Roy looked, remembering all the years we have worked together to make this Seminar a success and both Seigfried’s and Roy’s continued determination to make sure it remains successful.

At that moment, the convention came full circle – from a super strong beginning as stated above, a momentum that remained steady, to the eclipsing intense closing of S & R’s appearance.
We received so many fantastic and warm comments about how happy the registrants were and we are honored that you continue to support this wonderful event that contributes so much to the art we love.

The Teen competitions and involvements continue to be one of the greatest accomplishments that WMS provides with young and future talent traveling all the way from South Africa.

The dealer room was exciting, energetic and dynamic with my son Mark acting as emcee during the dealer show’s center stage in the dealer room.

We also had a great opportunity to meet with many confidants and suppliers in magic, and in doing so have some great things we have come closer to closing that will mean new and exciting products available to you.

| It’s all about presentation. |
