The month of October brings out some very unusual magic activity in and around the Chicagoland area. If you're looking to see a real Halloween scary show, take a ride up to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The convention of the century is winding down. I don't want to make all you non-attendees envious but you missed what will go down in magical history as one of the greatest conventions, ever. You will be able to read the reviews of the shows in The Linking Ring and MUM. Hats off the the technical crews both at the hotel and at the theaters. The events have all started on time, have had something for everyone and the shows have been outstanding.The members of the organizing committee are to be commended for producing an extremely well organized and well run convention.
