Jeff Beacher's Mad House Jammed-Packed for Escape

We received a press release from Jeff Beacher's people today and became glee-filled. 

One of the keys to success in the search-engine game is to get popular key words incorporated into content.

Mr. Beacher provided a treasure chest in his news release. 

Get a wax pencil and circle the key words in the following.  It's like a word-seek puzzle. 

Plus, Mr. Beacher is insane to even attempt the escape he proposes so it is like a puzzle about someone who is going to risk his life to set a world record.

Aaron Radatz Catches His Breath

Aaron Radatz let us know he is taking a few weeks off his busy tour.  The peripatetic illusionist will have a chance to sleep in his own bed at home in Las Vegas whilst he dreams of the upcoming summer and fall installments.

Mr. Radatz tells us there are some "incredible projects" under development and he hopes to let Today's Magic News readers are among the first to know.  He is hoping to have more news on these mystery projects in the "next six months or so."

SCAM Update

From Chris Hage:

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells.SCAM is on the way!!!  The 11th Annual
South Association of Magicians convention is less than one month away!

South Carolina's largest magic convention will be held January
13-14, 2006 in beautiful downtown Columbia at the newly renovated
Columbia Marriott.

From the OOPS! Department:  Have you been looking for your SCAM
registration form to appear in the mail?  Many of you have called
wondering if your registration form got lost.

Well we goofed!  We were late getting some of the mailings out this year.  If you are on our mailing list from years past, you will be getting the registration
information in the mail as a Christmas present! 

Because we goofed, early registration prices will be extended for everyone. Early
registration prices are valid until THE DAY OF THE CONVENTION.  All
walk up registrations will have the higher price. 

So, take advantage of our mistake and REGISTER EARLY by going to the website and
reserving your spot at SCAM 2006.  www.scamcon.org

The SCHEDULE  is updated and posted on the website.  Visit www.scamcon.org to see all the details.

Hotel:  Make your reservations at the hotel before January 8, 2006 to
get the discount!  www.marriottcolumbia.com (800) 880-1885

If Santini survives this extreme test of skill and courage, this has the potential to be one of the most watched Live Escape Attempts seen in history of television.

Santini needs to escape this heated Chamber or the results will be obvious.
