As many of you may or may not know, I will be attending TAM8. Since the upcoming convention will be at South Point and we are now Vegas locals, my hubby and I visited the hotel today to check it out ahead of time. Eric has kindly compiled a post of photos taken at the location (mostly by him, some of me).

YouTube, you suck. Vimeo is much better anyway.

James Randi is a hilarious skeptic, brimming with satire and class. Removing his videos must be the lowest blow. That said, I’m not surprised.

Feel free to contact Goo Tube, if that’s your thing.

Keep in mind, I am rarely star struck, but James Randi truly lived up to the title “The Amazing”. I remember watching him on the television, performing tricks and debunking psychics. He is still full of energy and very, very entertaining.

Randi performed the rope tricks he made famous on the Tonight Show, with Johnny Carson. On this occasion, I had the honor of assisting the legendary magician and skeptic. The video proof below was captured by Rose, with my new point and shoot camera.

Read his full post here.

Eric was lucky enough to be called on stage for a trick at the end of the night. I recorded it with his simple point ‘n shoot …and it shakes every time I laugh. At one point, I laughed so hard, I started to cough.
