WMS • day 2

At 1:00PM Steve and I headed into the theater at The Orleans. It was a nice room that seated 900 with theater seating (as opposed to a room with cocktail tables) .

Mark Kornhauser was the MC for the show and did a nice job. I've always liked his casual delivery of comedy magic. He is relaxed, polished and very funny. His ventriloquist bit had me laughing out loud

Here was the line up (in no particular order)

Les Arnold & Dazzle: A funny comedy magic duo. Dazzle was very funny with her over the top dancing and comic take on the classic magicians assistant. Mr. Arnold was a good straight man. What I liked most about this act was the comic relationship between the two.

Here's the rest of my review: Bla Bla Bla bla bla bla.

Other acts on the bill were Peter Gossamer, Dana Daniels, Erix Logan & Yuji Yamamoto

Not sure why I don't feel like writing. . . but I don't.

The show was good, well balanced and professional. There was a good mix of Comedy, Illusions, Magic and Sex Appeal.

Other events that day included:

Teen Contest

Michael Rubenstein Lecture

Dick Koornwinder Lecture, a tribute to Fred Kaps

David Roth Lecture

Curtis Kam Lecture

And bowling with the superstars of magic

Steve and I missed some of the events as we were preoccupied. We sessioned with Roger Klause at the bar for over 3 hours. What a time that was. I've known Roger for 20 years but never really sat down with him like this. He showed us a TON of stuff and shared many interesting stories of our art's past. What a cool guy. Incidentally, he was the guy who insisted on different occasions that The Professor and Ed Marlo watch my act. THanks for the fun adventures Roger.

This session was one of the highlights of the convention for both Steve and me!
