Choosing electives at Magic Live

Postby Jamie S » June 23rd, 2009, 8:56 pm

Hopefully it's not uncouth to be asking a question about MagicLive in this Forum, but I'm a little stuck and am hoping to get some input on my decision. There will be electives at this year's convention and I'm trying to decide between the marketing and the FFFF electives. Has anyone heard anything about the FFFF elective? I know they try to keep Magic Live very secretive, but it can't hurt to ask. I've never been to FFFF and the description of the elective leaves me unsure of whether it'd be worth it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Since you're a performer - I peeked at your profile - you might lean towards the marketing elective. The Fechter's session is a glimpse at the FFFF convention and you'll get to meet Obie O'Brien who runs it. Of course, you can meet him without going to that elective; he's a nice guy and will welcome meeting you.

That's a good tip. I am planning on investing more time and effort in my marketing in the next year, which is why the marketing elective is on the short list. But I'm also a magic geek and of course want to learn more effects (I'm sure I won't get enough in the 5 other sessions : )), which is where my curiosity about the FFFF elective comes from.

Are you planning on attending Magic Live?

This is the saddest news I've heard all week.
