This is such an anticipated event because every year
they mix the known with the unknown.
This year, “Dinner
with the Stars”. This
event raised money for the Encore Foundation, which helps out magicians
in un-ordinary circumstances. Even
Siegfried showed up. And
there’s been a Midnight Bowling Tournament for the last 3 years.
There is now a “Magic Auction”.
Last year, a “Film Festival”.
All of these events create chances to make new friends and
continue that family appeal.

During the awards show Rich
Bloch made a presentation to Joe and Martha that included a plaque that
stated:
The magic world exists and flourishes not by sleight of hand but by
friendship, imagination
and dedication. All those elements led you to launch this ambitious
gathering and to care for it
year after year. Now, as the
World Magic Seminar turns 30, you should take pride not only
in the magic you’ve shared and the careers you’ve launched, but also in
the thousands of
friendships that have been cemented and maintained by the annual opportunity
to meet, greet and share.
There is a
long list of those who have brought magic to the Seminar, but for what you
have done
for all of us, you are the best magicians of them all.
With love and admiration on this twenty-first day of February, 2007 (and all
the other days as well)
Rich Bloch, Bob Rossi and the
Seminar Board of Directors: Pete Biro, Irene Larsen, Bill Wells, Becki
Wells, Obie O’Brien and Dorothy Biondi.

At the Awards Show,
Siegfried and Roy paid their respects to Joe and Martha when
Roy
went on a funny tirade about how Joe should take Martha on a long, long
cruise and dig deep into his pockets to make this trip very special.

It was very emotional and warm
to see Joe and Martha accept the award to which Joe had a short speech
thanking all those who contributed to the success of the seminar whom are no
longer with us. And all of the
loyal attendees who continue to come back year after year.
Between the Dealer Room, which
was packed with some of the best, most respected dealers in the world and
the Registration Desk where some very anxious registrants were lining up for
next year... there was all the excitement and buzz... of what could possibly
top this year’s events...
All of us can hardly wait!!!
See you there!!!
