Dallas Convention Photos

The convention in Dallas had something for everyone. There was so much that it was impossible to do everything, but I took some pictures of what I could.

The convention started with the National Council meeting at 8AM Wednesday morning. I hope you appreciate all that I do for you guys.

The convention was dedicated to our dean, George Schindler. At the Council meeting, MI Andy Dallas presents a special pin to George.

PNP Michael Douglas at the opening ceremonies.

Contest chairman Paul Critelli assembles his announcing crew for the Close-Up Competition. Taylor Martin (as Rodney the Younger), his wife Debbie, PJ Campagna, and Dorrie Mitchell.

There was a special event Wednesday night: The World’s Biggest Magic Show. The concept was to put on a show with the largest number of performers ever. If we got enough, we’d submit it to the Guinness Book people. Everyone was invited to take part and do ONE effect that lasted ten seconds or less. That’s us in line to perform against the side wall. Good luck trying to pick out me.

Just a few of those performers: Ali Bongo, Tom Gentile, PNP Rich Dooley, Kayla Drescher, Soll Levine, Taylor Martin, PNP Ed Thomas, PJ Campagna.
