15th Annual
S.C.A.M. CONVENTION :
January 15th, 16th, and 17th 2010 Clarion Hotel in Columbia, South
Carolina., Southern Hospitality at its best.
Come enjoy Michael and Hannah Ammar, Harry Anderson, ICE McDonald, Gene Anderson, Eric Jones, Tom Craven and Children’s Magic Specialist Tommy Johns.
Harry Anderson will be bringing goods from his magic shop, “Spade and Archer”, that was located in New Orleans prior to Katrina. The product is largely hand-made, limited runs of his select tricks, lecture notes, DVD’s and books. There will also be select high-end collectibles added for flavor. It’s an extraordinary dealership and a special opportunity to see and possibly own some of the great magic from Harry’s collection. We are pleased to announce that Ricky Boone, owner of Magic Central will be at Harry’s booth to assist him.
Harry Anderson Workshop FREE to all registrants.
Harry Anderson is making a very special offer for our convention. His Sunday January 17, 2010 Workshop will be FREE to all of our friends who attend SCAM 2010.
Harry’s unique presentation of the classic Magic Square has been hailed as revolutionary. He has actually simplified the methodology to a point where performance is the focus. In Harry’s words: “I can only hint at the impact of this Magic Square. It’s the single strongest piece of magic I have ever used to close my show. And it is the simplest thing you’ll learn this decade. It’s wildly wonderful, it’s oddly powerful, and it’s imminently doable. Beat that with mystic.
Adult language is used in this workshop.
