Re: TAOM 2019 San Antonio, Texas
finally, a taom convention which has a line up to announce prior to registration rate increases. I hope this bodes well for the convention and we will see greater attendance.

Re: TAOM 2019 San Antonio, Texas
fewer and fewer.
lots of reasons for this - obviously - but no small part has been the failure of recent TAOM’s to obtain name booking in time to advertise prior to the increase in rates. TAOM has become a convention where the people who show up are the ones who show up regardless of who is performing. Back in the day this brought in families - with today’s prices fewer are willing to spend several hundred dollars just to hang out.

Alex G. has done an excellent job securing great talent for this years TAOM. In addition, there is a $1000 Peoples Choice Award for the stage competition. Win the competition and your convention is practically free, depending on how much you eat, drink, and buy from the dealers. Hope to see you in San Antonio in September.
Re: TAOM 2019 San Antonio, Texas
The convention use to get 500+ in years past. We hope to get 250+ this year. We understand that magicians have a lot of choices between the IBM/SAM Nationals, as well as MAGIC LIVE and GENII conventions all taking place in the summer/fall. However, San Antonio has a lot to offer for the entire family. Sea World and Fiesta TX amusement parks, San Antonio Zoo, the Five Missions (Remember the Alamo) and the world famous River Walk.Mr. Henderson: How many folks usually show up to TAOM?finally, a taom convention which has a line up to announce prior to registration rate increases.

I enjoyed San Antonio the last time I went to the TAOM there. The Riverwalk was quite nice.
You have a great lineup, and some of those folks are tempting me to come!

By now, you are probably all aware that, sadly, John Cornelius passed away on Sunday, April 21. We will honor him and celebrate his contributions to the world of magic at TAOM 2019.

Is Earl Nelson no longer able to be in the lineup? I didn't see his bio on the registration site.
Re: TAOM 2019 San Antonio, Texas
No, Earl isn’t going to make it.
