Magic Texas 2024?

Postby erdnasephile » October 23rd, 2024, 1:53 pm

All:
Did anyone attend the Magic Texas 2024 (TAOM/SAM/FISM NA) Convention?
I wanted to attend, but work got in the way.
I am curious to know what the highlights/lowlights were for you, how the convention facilities were, which lectures impressed you, and what the best items in the dealers room were.
Thanks!

Logistical and technical problems abounded with the convention.

The production team dedicated to the two theater shows were great. Sadly the convention side logistical missteps - mentioned above - stole the thunder of the first theater show. The second theater show (lsunday night show) saved the conference. Without that it would have gone down as a major miss.

The hotel was amazing but in spite of the three year agreement we were told existed we will not be back - no way we made them anywhere close to the money they could get from other events.

Magic contests do not make for better Magic.
