The HAE & The Society of American Magicians unite for the advancement of the arts...

[Halloween Art Exhibit]

By invitation, the HAE attended The Society of American Magicians meeting on Chicago's Southwest side. This was no ordinary night, as renowned conjurer Andy Dallas showed the pros why he's also the National President. His incredible performances of modern updates to classic illusions hailed a standing ovation from all who attended! The Annual Halloween Art Exhibit was also applauded for welcoming new performers to our expanding exhibition, and offering our posse of talented artists for those magic acts needing help with promotion & advertising. The Society's Chicago Chapter President, Neil Tobin (accomplished necromancer in his own right) joins us in the 2007 edition of the HAE when he performs his own brand of magic on October 20th. These kinds of associations are as inspiring as they are fun to be with, which means we'll be looking more into the magical, clairavoyant and ghost chasing societies to contribute to and collaborate with in the near future.
