As maguicians from around the world begin arriving in Myrtle Beach, South Caroline for the annual convention, the local media takes note and reports on it with stories like this one from SCNow.com in which convention organizers David Tanner and Mike Heidtman are interviewed :
"It's all fun, we don't consider it a job, we consider it a get together where we can all get together and have fun, do magic, and put a little back into the community," said Tanner.
"It's a win-win for the community because we're able to produce this great show to benefit the children's museum and the public gets to enjoy that show just as much as the registrants," said Heidtman.
