Circus Magic Date Changes for 2018

Steve Kissell sent an email message saying that the Circus Magic Convention, which is usually in February will be delayed until the fall.

Hey Circus Magic Fans!

Thanks so much for your continued support. Just wanted to let you know that we are moving CircusMagicConvention.com to the fall for 2018. This coming year there will be 3 big conventions in the same area within two months so we thought it best to move to the fall, probably in October/November. I know some of you will not be able to attend due to festivals and we will miss you. Have a super fall this year and we will see you in 2018! Bump a Nose!

Yours in Laughter,
Steve Kissell
