Don’t miss the most unique magic conference in the U.S.! It’s FUN, Friendly and Educational, and it’s in Branson Missouri! taking place April 29 May 1, 2010.

Performers include Michael Finney, Goldfinger and Dove, David Ginn, Bill and Ruth Pitts, Ventriloquist Patty Davidson, Doug Anderson, Joe Lefler and Marty Hahne

The Branson Magic Bonanza is a unique convention in many ways. First, it is held in the entertainment capital of Branson Missouri, and we all get to attend several Branson shows, included as part of the convention. And, the Branson stars pull out the red carpet for us, often with special backstage tours after the shows, Q and A sessions, and meet and greet time at our convention center. You never know who will stop by our convention!

We are also unique, because our speakers deliver content you can put to use right away. We don’t do a “dealer’s show” type of lecture just to get you to buy stuff. We really are focused on making you a better performer.

We also take great pride in having the best organized and run convention around. Many of our lecturers over the years have said they have never been to a convention where the events start on time and are so well organized. We pledge to do our best to make this convention go smoothly and to be run professionally.

This year’s conference includes 5 Lectures, All-Star Show, An Evening with Michael Finney, David Ginn School Show performance, Magic Fashion Show, More Dealers than in previous years, Ice Cream Party, optional Pizza Party and THREE BIG BRANSON SHOWS! That’s right, even the Branson shows are included in the low registration fee!
