Bob and I attended a convention for Christian Magicians. Bob has been interested in Gospel Magic and this was a great convention to get some more ideas, etc. The convention was in Merriam, KS, a suburb of Kansas City. It was on a Fri. evening and all day Sat. ending in a magic/clown show Sat. night. I went to the sessions too and I was definitely entertained.
Here is a "clown" who does balloon sculptures. I've done some of that, but it takes talent, and this guy has it.
This is a clown who specializes in preschool. I really liked her costume and with how much fun she makes being a clown who dabbles in magic. A lot of the clowns dabble in easy magic.
This is the schedule we followed at the convention.
At the beginning of the ending show, there was a musical group who entertained us.
One of the participants created this balloon hat for this child.
This was the lady in charge of the conference. She had a cute partner.
This was the EmCee. She was a silly clown and did a good job.
More clowns.
This is a story teller. Why a story teller? Magicians usually tell stories to make their magic tricks have a context so they need to know how to tell a story along with their tricks.
This guy is not only a magician, but also a ventriloquist. He also does mission work, especially with Native Americans. He was great.
This guy was a great magician, and he has done a lot of restaurant magic, but now he has a business. He was very entertaining.
Some more clowns.
Clowns helping clowns. The audio system wasn't working so the one on the floor held the mike for the one on stage. As an in-between-the-acts filler, Bob did a skit with the clown holding the mike. They had collaborated as the result of one of the sessions they both had attended. Oops. I didn't get any pictures of their skit.
Another great magician.
There were some friends from our home magic club so it was fun for them to be there too. I just didn't get any pictures. Bob came home with lots of great ideas and some new tricks.
