In 2003, the day after the LVMI close-up convention, a one-day gathering dedicated to coin magic was held. The COINvention brought together some of the world’s best coin workers for a day of lectures, shows and discussions. Coin magic had hit the big time.

Now, three years later, once again the day after LVMI, on June 14th, we will once again be hosting a one day convention dedicated to magic and sleight of hand with coins.

CoinCon 2006 will be a day (or maybe more?) filled with nothing but coin magic lectures, shows and workshops. We are assembling a roster of coin men that can hold their own with anyone in the world.

Rune Klan is planning on coming from Denmark, and what he can’t do with coins, can’t be done.

John Born has created an arsenal of sleights and techniques that make his magic look real.

Mickey Silver’s visual style and love of magic have made him an internet superstar.

Kainoa Harbottle’s playful personality and unbelievable chops make him a modern coin master.

Dan Watkins his recent DVD releases have secured his place in the world of coin coinjurers.

Garrett Thomas fabulous skilled coupled with a deep understanding of what makes magic work.

And that’s just for starters! … we are talking with many more coin conjurers and we expect that just like in 2003 with the first ever COINvention (immortalized on a 2 DVD set), CoinCon 2006 will mark the way for another generation of close-up magicians.

In 2003 when we did both conventions back-to-back, we had to unfortunately turn away well over 125 disappointed magicians that tried to register too late. We fully expect that the LVMI/CoinCon 2006 conventions will like-wise be sellouts and the must attend events for the close-up magic aficionados.

The conventions are hosted by Robert Allen and Danny Archer and they are dedicated to making their events educational, entertaining and an all-around great time.

We have not yet update our web site (LVMI), but we couldn’t hold it in any longer … LVMI/CoinCon 2006 will be four unbelievably great days of magic and we invite you to join us in the most magical city on Earth, Las Vegas!

Registration Info

LVMI $175 until April 30th
CoinCon 2006 $ 75 until April 30th

Oooh. sounds great. there aren't any skill-level/age restrictions, are there? my friend and I will probably drive down =D

Danny,
I will most likely be coming this year.
Hope to see you at magi-fest theis year. Going to be a KILLER CONVENTION!
Justin Miller

MAN, why couldn't there be something like this in Toronto or Ottawa, Ontario. You guys/gals in the U.S. are so GOSH DARN lucky.

I'm full of envy......smitty

Wow!Cool, so can you guy in 2006.

Danny what about the rest of the pros that were on the 2003 Coinvention such as David Roth, Rubinstein, Curtis Kam, Geoff Latta, Mike Gallo, Korn, Kennner etc etc etc. Do you know if they will be there too, some lectures as well ?

As far as I know...Mike Gallo has never been there

Mike

Well I hope he comes Next(2006) year!


Kirk

Sorry Mike you are right. But I still would like to see you perform again. By the way I met you at the PA coin seminar. We went out for a smoke at Marks house. You told me about your bad experience with the bus on your trip to PA. I learned a lot from you on the seminar as well as frem Roth, Rubenstein, Kanoia, and Geoff

Anyway, I am jut hoping that 2006 coinvention is even better than 2003 with as many pros as possible.

Joaquin

I hope we can change that statement ...

Joaquin, should I make it to Vegas...let's step out for another smoke (or can you smoke indoors in Vegas?)...I'll tell you about my return trip to Buffalo...LOL...you won't believe it...LOL!

Oh, and Danny...ya never know!

Mike

Change it Danny...CHANGE IT!!!!

OK here goes:

Aka - no age restrictions ... anyone who loves magic is welcome ...
Justin - Not sure if I can make Magi Fest (I agree ... killer line-up)...
Smitty - there are planes that fly from Canada to Las Vegas ...
Mike - you can smoke indoors in Las Vegas ...
Jamie - working on it dude ... Jamie will be at LVMI/COinCon 2006 with his incredible line of custom coins ... you can take that to the bank! ...

Where will it be held? Am I correct that the days will be June 11-13 for LVMI and then 6/14 for Coinvention?

Kirk

Hey Kirk,

Both conventions will take place in Las Vegas, NV

LVMI on 6/11/06 - 6/13/06 Sunday - Tuesday
CoinCon 2006 6/14/06 Wednesday

If Kirk's going, I'm going.

Now this is one convention where I will feel right at home. I can't wait.

Gee Danny,

You were so helpful. (Drip) Is it scattered all over Vegas or maybe being held in just one hotel?

Kirk

Hey Danny; you are absolutely right, there ARE planes from TO to Vegas. Unfortunately though, I have a wife, in bed, with MS, so can't make any overnight trips anywhere. If this type of convention came to Toronto, I would be willing to drive the 1 1/2 hours each day, just to attend.

Even if I could only make it to a couple days, I know I would learn TONS.

So, I remain ENVIOUS, SORRY. But, I'm confident there will be a DVD with highlights, right?


BEST....smitty

Seeing as how Danny seems to want to keep this from you, I thought I would share what I found on another magic site, where he didn't seem to have this desire.


"I am pleased to announce that the 2006 Las Vegas Magic Invitational(LVMI) will take place from June 11th thru June 13th at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

For our 6th convention we are thrilled that joining us as our Guest of Honor will be the one and only J.C. Wagner . J.C. will also be lecturing and performing at the convention, and I suspect that a lot of people will be looking forward to seeing some of his classic effects, along with some of his killer new material."

There, now some of you can make plans.

Kirk
