Big smiles above from the 2022 PMJ! (Not pictured: Dan Sperry)
We have the 2023 dates locked down: March 17, 18, & 19!
Another piece of BIG NEWS: We're moving venues! As much as we've loved our years at the Sheraton, we're moving to keep YOUR HOTEL RATES LOW! The Sheraton had to raise even our special rates to $139/night, so we're moving a mile away to the AIRPORT HOLIDAY INN where we've negotiated a rate of $109/night! (Or $119 w/breakfast; 2 breakfasts if sharing a room!) We'll be in a venue room the exact size as the Sheraton, with a much bigger lobby area. (With food available between events on Saturday!)
The only other tid-bit we're gonna tip right now is that 2023 will include JOSHUA JAY! His Portland lecture last year was resoundingly praised, and at the PMJ he'll be bringing us a full force of material.
Registration and addt'l headliner news probably won't come along until mid-Nov. So in the meantime the rest of the site will still be info from the 2022 event...
AND WHAT A GREAT TIME WE HAD!
JASON LADANYE was here from New York City; DAN SPERRY from Las Vegas; and STEPHEN BARGATZE from Nashville; and GREGORY WILSON from Venice, CA! You can still see their info on the Headliners tab.
Each year you count on us to put together a FANTASTIC WEEKEND OF MAGIC, and this year did not disappoint! We all gave our magic circuits a big boost and learned from some of the sharpest magicians in the business.
- Links to our local CBS live promos from Fri morning: Moreland, Bargatze, Ladayne.
- Write up in Willamette Week: "Magicians Amass at the Airport Sheraton"
- A nice video montage of the event put together by Darren Sethe.
BONUSES:
- Dan Sperry did his fantastic DOVE ACT! Stephen Bargatze was a literal laugh riot! Jason Ladayne knocked us into a standing ovation for his wonderfully entertaining card work! And Gregory Wilson was his usual master class in charisma and audience management! We were SO HAPPY to have so many from the public to enjoy it with us.
- EVERYONE in attendance received 3-months of free full-access to the entire magic video catalog at Enfilo. The link and personal passcode code was on the back of each nametag. Enfilo is a Netflix-style website with videos by top magicians including Dani DaOrtiz, Juan Tamariz, Max Maven, Eugene Burger, Shawn Farquhar, and many many more.
- And we had a great dealer's room, joined by icons such as ROY KUEPPERS and Robert Ramiriz!
Next year's event will likely be Fri-Sun March 24-26, 2023, but that date is currently fluid.
