Just a head's up for the first automata convention to be held in conjunction with the amazing collection of the Morris museum in NJ. Several magicians will be there, as well as creators of magical themed automaton.

Re: Automata convention in NJ
I bought this paper automata at Grand Illusions. It arrived yesterday and I haven't even opened the package yet, but if anyone is interested in automata this might be worth checking out. They have a few other models.

Re: Automata convention in NJ
Any idea what automata John Gaughn will be bringing? Will he be presenting any of his many such as Antonio Diavolo?

Re: Automata convention in NJ
no idea on what will be presented or by whom. there is a schedule on the convention page, but details are sparse.
I will be doing close up magic during the friday reception.
I realize for many that may not be the best advertisement for the event which I could offer.

Re: Automata convention in NJ
For those who could not attend this was a fascinating convention. The panels and lectures provided a look inside the world of automatons and the artists that make them.
Brad - thanks for posting the link. It was realy a pleasure meeting you. My wife and I had fun getting to participate in your close up show. Also your presentation on automatons and magic with John Gaughan and Pierre Mayer was great. I hope we can do it again next year.
