David Regal, Aaron Fisher, Nate Kranzo, and Steve Dobson come to Portland, Sept 25, 26, & 27 !!!

That’s right, David Regal, Aaron Fisher, Nathan Kranzo, and Steve Dobson will ALL be appearing at the very first “PORTLAND MAGIC JAM” in Portland, Oregon on Sept 25, 26, and 27. (Fri, Sat, Sun)

There will be lectures. There will be shows. There will be a panel discussion with these 4 heavyweights on stage together. There will be dealers. There will be organized jam sessions. And for those who like to session through the night, there will be a 24-hour session room, and a 24-hour restaurant complete with waitresses who would love to see your version of Ambitious Card.

The cost is $85 for the entire 3 days - which is a steal. Payments can be made on the Jam website at www.portlandmagicjam.com .

The VENUE is a hotel right off I-5, just south of the WA/OR border. It has every amenity on site, so people flying in or taking the train won’t have to rent a car. Optional ROOM RATES are down to $35 apiece based on double-occupancy with 2 queen beds.

The organizers are Greg Moreland and Dan Waterman. They’re keeping all the latest information updated on the event website, along with contact info for inquiries:
