Plus, this year, we're having a bonus Gospel Day. Gospel Day will run from 1 - 5 p.m. on Wednesday, 
April 30. Duane Laflin will be presenting two different 90 minute lectures, plus our dealers will be open, and there'll be time for socializing. There is no additional charge to attend this bonus day. Wednesday evening, we are free to socialize or visit Branson attractions. Our good friends, Illusionist Dave Hamner and Ventriloquist Jim Barber, of the Hamner Barber Variety Show, have a arranged a special deal for us. If you'd like to attend their show Wednesday evening, the cost is just $20 dollars. Just purchase your tickets that evening at the Hamner Barber Theater box office.

Our critique session will be held Friday afternoon. We can critique a total of 12 performers. You can perform a trick or routine, not lasting over five minutes, and our panel of four advisers will give you tips and encouragement immediately following your performance. We plan on giving each person 15 minutes: up to 5 minutes to perform, and 10 for the feedback session. We ask that due to fire laws and insurance regulations, that no effects using open flame be performed. PLEASE NOTE: As of April 15, we  have filled all 12 available slots. Occasionally, someone will cancel, so if you are still interested, let us know, and we'll put you on the waiting list. 

One of the best parts of our conference is the fact that we include two Branson shows in your registration! This year, on Thursday night, we'll make a trip to the new Acrobats of China Theater, for a wonderful show. 

Friday night, we will travel to the Kirby VanBurch Theatre for his wonderful show, with lots of new illusions!

Saturday night our staff show at the conference center will feature the artistry of Dale Salwak, Boris Wild, Joe Lefler, Ventriloquist Brenda Hahne, and more to come! Following the show, the fun continues with our build your own sundae bar, plus other surprises and socializing. You never know who will stop by here in Branson!

To the south I-40, which goes through Little Rock, Arkansas, provides access to Route 65 going North. Branson is about a 4 hour drive from Little Rock.
