| 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.

Bloch. |
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.

But most of all we all want to thank you, our clients
and customers for your support both at the dealer room
and also at our office. Our family business and
staff is grateful for your support.

and Martha Stevens |
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. |
