Charlie Zuis’ last wish was that the scheduled June 4th Magic Convention at his Museum of Famous Unknown Magicians and Clowns take place. And it will! All magicians are welcome!

The guest lecturer for the convention is the Society of American Magician’s George Schindler, the S.A.M. Dean of American Magicians. He will also perform a Broken Wand Ceremony for Charlie.

Upstate NY’s Magic Legacy

Posted by admin on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 in Magic News, Upcoming Events | 0 comments

The Buffalo News posted an article last week about Eddie Fechter and the Forks Hotel last week, and I’d like to share the link with you. The article shares the story of an annual visit by Western NY magicians to Fechter’s grave on the anniversary of his death, March 31, 1979.

Eddie Fechter began the annual “Fechter’s Finger Flicking Frolic” in 1971 as an invitation-only magic convention for the best close-up magicians in the world. Commonly referred to as the “4F” convention by magicians, this convention continues to honor Fechter’s legacy to this day. The 41st Annual Convention starts later this week in Batavia, and will be attended by some of the best close-up magicians on earth. No kidding!

Following the closed FFFF Convention, the Magician’s Alliance of Western NY (MAWNY) holds its open convention Sunday, May 1st, at the Clarion Hotel in Batavia, NY. All magicians and aspiring magicians are welcome!
