2. Talent Line-up. We're still holding this close to the chest...but we guarantee you'll see a fantastic line-up of some amazing magic stars and some of the most exciting acts you've never seen at a magic convention before. Plus, each of the stage shows will be packaged in an exciting new way....More on that later.

1. Dallas Sheraton is Ideal. The room rate of $99 is the lowest it has been in years. All of the convention activities are centrally located and just an elevator ride from your room. And the beautiful historic Majestic Theatre is just a short walk through the park (literally) from the hotel.

And about those youth activities...For the first time in I.B.M. Convention history, the International Brotherhood of Magicians is assembling some of our most talented junior members to perform in a professionally produced cabaret show at the Dallas 2011 Convention. We're seeking talented performers between the ages of 7 and 17 to star in this show.

The I.B.M. Convention is undergoing a major overhaul, and this show which will showcase our best young magicians will be performed 4 times during the convention as part of our new Fab 4 Events. Performers will be compensated with cash based on their number of performances up to a full complimentary registration. In addition they will be billed as featured talent which will be a great resume builder. They'll also have the bragging rights of being onstage with a world renowned magician. Not to mention the honor of performing for so many of their peers.

If you are an interested young member, or you know of one, and you think this might be for you, we'd love to see your talent.
