[Larry Mahan]
I have been doing magic and clowning for about 40 - 45 years. I perform and sell magic and props under the business name SONshine Entertainment. I also lecture and sell at conventions. I have performed Gospel magic for 35 years and am a heritage member (over twenty five years) of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians. I perform as Houlihan the Animal Man and sometimes as St. Nick, the Magic Santa. I perform lots of kinds of magic but always have a leaning toward animals. I perform with birds, sugar gliders, and rabbits and I use Spring Animals. I have authored several books on balloons, magic, and spring animals.

[Dave Wintermute]
Dave Wintermute is an up and coming (or in other words a "novice") magician. He prefers magic with a message or using magic to tell a story. He got into the Society of American Magicians (SAM) in 2003 when his son, James, developed an interest in magic. It seemed like the right Father-Son thing to do. James grew up and lost his interest in magic, but his father never did. Dave does most of his magic in church where he uses it to teach Sunday school. This type of magic is called Gospel Magic.

[Frank Klein]
Frank Klein has performed magic for over 35 years, and has performed professionally for 28 years. He has performed magic throughout the United States and abroad. He has performed in all kinds of venues from small intimate setting settings like restaurants, to house parties, corporate functions at hotels, and large auditoriums. Frank has performed magic for as few as 1 or 2 people to crowds of 2,000 and on television. His 45 minute stage show "Illusions of Impossibility and Magic of the Mind" includes amazing magic, baffling demonstrations of E.S.P., comedy, and tons of audience interaction.
Frank has brought to the magic community a small magic illusion that he has manufactured and sold for over 20 years. The Ultimate Miniature Zig Zag is the same effect as the life size illusion, but uses a beer or can of soda instead of a person. It has literally been sold around the world.
The seminal event that sparked Frank Klein’s interest and business in magic was the appearance of the Blackstone (Sr) Magic show at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, TX when Frank was 10 years old. It was the spark that ignited his love of magic and it still burns brightly after many years and performances. Frank can be contacted at his web site: http://www.frankkleinmagic.com
