There is no additional charge to attend this bonus day. Wednesday evening, we are free to socialize or visit Branson attractions. We recommend the Kirby VanBurch Show. Kirby's given us a special price of $10!

Our critique session will be held Thursday evening. 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 4/21/09 we have already filled eleven slots, and 1 remains. Our available performance slots go quickly, so please call or e-mail to be put on the list!

This year, our staff show at the conference center will be held on Friday afternoon. We'll feature Master of Ceremonies Hank Moorehouse, Shawn Farquhar, the beautiful dove magic of Amos Levkovitch, Peachey Keene, and more to come! 

One of the best parts of our conference is the fact that we include two Branson shows in your registration! This year, on Friday night, we'll attend the great Hamner Barber Variety Show, with lots of new magic this year, plus ventriloquism, comedy, music and dance! The new closing illusion is a spectacular, moving tribute to our veterans, something not to be missed!

Saturday night, we will laugh and be entertained at the fantastic Jim Stafford Show! Jim's show is one of the most popular in Branson. Every act in Branson says this is the show they must go see. And magicians like Bev Bergeron, David Sandy, David Ginn, Steve Taylor and Joe Fairchild have all seen this show while vacationing in Branson and rave about it. Combine side splitting comedy, terrific musicianship, special effects, a sprinkling of magic, fantastic staging and more, and you only get a small idea of what you'll experience!

Following the show, the fun continues back at the conference center,  with our build your own sundae bar, plus other surprises and socializing. You never know who will stop by here in Branson!
