The Texas Association of Magicians held their annual conference at the InterContinental Hotel last weekend in an event so grand it even included a visit by Observer staff favorite, Harry Anderson (Night Court).
(On an unrelated note: Housekeeping staff of the InterContinental found 3,000 colorful, unclaimed scarves tucked into one abandoned plastic thumb earlier this morning. If it's yours, please call the desk.)
We sent photographer Stephen Masker to make a slideshow appear out of thin air and ta-da! He did just that. We rummaged through and picked our favorites.
Here they are: Five photos of magicians doing extremely magician-y things.
