At the last convention here is Australia, ASM 100th Birthday Convention, we had an amazing line up. Lennart Green, Shoot Ogawa, Jeff McBride, Eugene Burger, Gaetan Bloom, Shawn Farquhar, Dean Atkinson, Raymond Crowe and in the show there were more local magicians also.
The convention was a huge success, and everyone that attended had a great time.
I'd never heard of Gaetan before the convention material went out, but I tell you, I wish that I had. He's a genius. He has some amazing routines and is a fantastic performer to watch.
His bags didn't show up for 2 days so in the show he had to make up more or less impromptu props for a routine that in the end went down really well.
Shawn Farquhar was great also, along with Lennart Green in the show.
Lennart is a really really funny man and played up with his two assistants really well.
My favourite of the whole line up tho was Raymond Crowe! Yes, a local Adelaide magician with some really really amazing stuff.
His dancing jacket routine, which he worked with Tommy Wonder on, was so life like that you really thought that the jacket was dancing with him, not only that, leading him through the dance. And to close the show, his world reknown shadow puppets! Not a dry eye in the house and received the only standing ovation of the evening.
And here I am lucky enough to live just 5 mins from him.
I heard that Chris and Katie had the pleasure of seeing his show and meeting him recently when he was performing in Vegas.
and he may or may not have been wearing rainbow pants, but he wasnt a clown
