I’ve written quite a bit about the value of conventions and live lectures as part of your magical education. The live experience offers benefits that you simply can not get from any other format. If you’re not taking advantage of these events you really are missing a significant component of your education…not to mention the camaraderie and friendships that can be built.

If you are hitting the road to a convention or two this year, my hope is that our paths will cross. If they do, PLEASE let make yourself known…it’s always great to meet our customers face to face. And this year you’ll have plenty of chance to do that. Here’s our current convention schedule for the rest of 2011:

April 2
Long Island Magic Arts Convention in Hicksville, NY 

April 8-10
Cape Cod Conclave in Hyannis, MA
