Los Angeles Conference on Magic History

Postby Guest » May 17th, 2003, 7:52 am

Does anyone know if any of these conferences have ever been recorded for posterity via videotape?

Also does anyone have an accurate record of how many of these were actually held?

I can recall the following feature effects being performed from reading the descriptions in various sources :

1) Dr. Hooker's Rising Card
2) Kellar's levitation
3) The Blue Room
4) Will The Witch and The Watch
5) Culpitt's (sp?)Vanishing Donkey (or is it appearing?, sorry not sure about this one).
6) Robert Houdin's Antonio Diavalo
7) The Mascot Moth
8) The Million Dollar Mystery

Does anyone know if there will be any future conferences and if so how one qualifies to attend?

Any information is appreciated.

Pete,

The Eight Los Angeles Conference on Magic History will be held in November of this year. For further information, I would suggest visiting Jim Steinmeyer\'s web site . Jim sells some past souvenir programs.
