Hello everyone!
Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21, 2009, will be CAMaraderie 2009 (
www.cam2009.org), the national convention of the Canadian Association of Magicians. This year it will be moving from Kitchener, Ontario to just outside Montreal, Quebec, at the brand new ALT hotel and Etoile theatre (
www.cam2009.org/location.htm).
In order to make sure CAMaraderie 2009 is a memorable one we have been putting together a great line-up (
www.cam2009.org/program.htm), including Nathan Kranzo, David Acer, Tyler Wilson, Alain Choquette, as well as award winning magicians Eric DeCamps, George Saterial, Arthur Trace, and many more! We also have special events planned for throughout the weekend, starting with an early bird event Friday morning for those who have already arrived, as well as late night lectures, skills competitions and some surprises we're not ready to give away quite yet.
Of course, we will also have Close-up and Stage Competitions (
www.cam2009.org/contests.htm) this year, with thousands of dollars in prizes, including a new junior category for those 18 years and younger. Remember, we must have your audition tapes by April 19, 2009, so don't wait to send them in!
If you are a dealer and would like to rent a booth, you can get all the details at
www.cam2009.org/dealers.htm. Note that those who have participated in past CAM conventions will have priority. We also have various sponsorship packages available if you would like your name and logo displayed at the convention (
www.cam2009.org/sponsors.htm).
We could go on, but the best way to keep up to date is to visit our site at
www.cam2009.org where we will be posting all the information concerning the convention.
See you in June!
