More or Fewer Lecturers? Your Opinion Counts
Houston is a hot bed of magic activity. We have some of the finest and most celebrated magicians in the world living in Houston. We have three magic clubs and over 100 members. Part of what makes Houston's magicians great is their thirst for knowledge and high level of magic ability. And this is due in large measure to the quality of magicians who pass through Houston on a regular basis to impart their knowledge in the form of magic lectures. Many of the local magi do not attend magic conventions where there are a series of lectures, one after the other, on a plethora of subjects. But every local magician has the opportunity to attend and learn from the lecturers who visit us.
Some really enjoy attending magic lectures and feel that they can't get enough. Others say that we have too many lectures and we should cut back. But how many is enough and how many is too much? In this regard, there is a survey on Facebook where your voice and vote can be heard.
