Form the October 18th article "Huge magician convention coming to Mission" by Chris Campbell in the Mission City Record:
The 89th Annual Pacific Coast Association of Magicians will be holding its convention in Mission from Nov. 10 to 13.
The conference covers the entire Pacific coast, along with countries including Canada, U.S., Australia, Japan and thousands of members across the Pacific Rim.
The conference is organized by two prolific kids entertainers, as Norden the Magician and the Great Gordini, who combined have over 40 international awards for their acts and contributions to the magic community.
Norden wanted to bring the conference to his home town of Mission this year and put in a bid to the committee.
“I’m very excited about this event,” said Mike Norden.
A comedy show will kick off the event on Nov 10, starring YouTube comedian Wes Barker. This show will take place in the ballroom at the Best Western.
Then on Nov 12 is the big show, called Hocus Pocus, at the Clarke Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Starring international magic celebrities that have appeared on Penn & Teller Fool Us, Ellen, Comedy Central, Big Trick Energy and more.
