The goals
for MMD 2010 include:
Goal #1. Renew
the founding
goal of Michigan Magic Day.
That is; a Michigan
event, by and for Michigan
magicians.
|
In the words
(almost) of Abraham Lincoln:
"..and that
magic of the Michigan magicians, by the Michigan magicians, for the
Michigan magicians, ?" shall flourish!
Did you know
that there is really a rabbit under that hat? |
Goal #2. Maximize
opportunities to celebrate fellowship and
camaraderie in the Michigan magic
community.
Goal #3. Enhance
our relationship with our community.
See
below!
Goal #4. Hold the
event in a high class venue.
MMD
2010
will be held at Spectrum
Health’s Butterworth Hospital*.
We
will have the use of the East Auditorium, a beautiful first
class meeting place.
The
stage is huge and the venue has tiered comfortable seating
for 327.
Additionally
we have the option of added meeting rooms for
dealer space.
The
hospital's PRISMS Restaurant has excellent food, great
variety, and very reasonable prices. And, many other restaurants are
nearby.
We
also expect to have a Spectrum AV specialists assisting us
for the entire day with sound and lighting.
We
plan to have close up cameras projecting on a very large
screen, the presentations of close up performers/lecturers, at their
discretion.
With
the support of the president of the
Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital, our evening program
will be
open (free) to all of the children in the hospital via closed
circuit cable to the patients' rooms, their families,
and their support staff.
Additionally,
with the enthusiastic support of the Children’s
Hospital’s director of marketing and communications, we will likely
have significant media coverage on the
Grand Rapids television
stations and newspaper.
I
am fired up and eager to make this a great event to
remember!
*
Spectrum Health brings together a network of health care facilities
and staff with a rich heritage of exceptional care. With seven
nationally accredited hospitals, more than 140 service sites and a
network of primary care physicians throughout West Michigan, we
offer world-class health care to the communities we serve.

venue below to enlarge them.
Goal
#5. Minimize
the registration cost to Michigan
magicians.
At this
point, we are going to
try to keep the registration cost to a mere $25.
($30 at
the door)
You might
ask, “Are you
kidding me? Only $25?”
The
answer
is, “Yes, that is
the goal!”
Note:
All money received that
exceeds
expenses will be donated to the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital.
There will be two shows for the Children's Hospital; one (close up)
Fri. afternoon and one (stage)
Sat. evening.
For patient safety,
the
close up show will be open to patients, their support staff and the
performers
only.
All registrants are
encouraged to attend
the Saturday evening show.
DEALERS
To maximize the number of
dealers
present, the dealer fees will be $0.
To maximize the items for
sale,
anyone can deal. (All sellers must register.)
Want to sell your used stuff
on your
own table? The charge for a table is $0
We will ask all persons
selling
to donate an item of appropriate value for a raffle.
Appropriate value? Let your
conscience will be your guide.
Hey, think about it. The
better the
donation, the better you will look to your peers.
(If you have a
table, you
are responsible to staff it.)
Should anyone enter
the
sales rooms only to buy and not want to register, the buyer entry fee
will be
$5.00
*** Lecturers

BONUS LECTURER
Jania
Taylor
"Getting A Gig Is A Full Time Job"
If you are a seasoned
pro, a part time pro, or just starting out as a magician, you know
that getting booked for shows is WORK! Don't
be fooled; The phone will not ring by magic, you have to make it
ring! Ms. Taylor has spent the last two decades criss-crossing the
country performing at thousands of events. How did she do this? She
became her own agent! Show business is two words: show and business.
We are bringing Jania to Michigan Magic Day to help increase your
business. Through trial and error, she has paid for her education
when it comes to the marketing of magical services. |
A few of the additional performers we are pleased will be there for you!
