The Branson Magic Bonanza has a reputation for being the most fun and friendly magic convention in the USA! There are many reasons it is becoming one of the most talked about gatherings of magicians. First, it is held in the entertainment capital of Branson Missouri, and the Branson stars pull out the red carpet for us. Often there are special backstage tours after the shows, Q and A sessions, and meet and greet time at our convention center. You never know who will stop by our magic convention here in Branson! 

We are also unique because our speakers deliver content you can put to use right away. We don't do a "dealer's show" type of lecture just to get you to buy stuff. We really are focused on making you a better performer. 

We have a relaxed atmosphere, with an ice cream party, pizza supper, and plenty of opportunities to mingle with our star performers. Yet, even with the relaxed feel, we take great pride in having the best organized and run convention around. 

For 2012, NEW is the word! New lower registration, new hotel and new format!

No-Charge Optional Gospel Lectures: This year, the regular convention starts early in the evening, on Thursday, April 26.

Travel Information
If driving, Route 65 is the main North/South route into Branson. I-44 crosses Missouri to the north, then at Springfield you'll travel south on Rt. 65 for about 40 miles, to Branson. To the south I-40, which goes through Little Rock, Arkansas, provides access to Route 65 going north. Branson is about a 4 hour drive from Little Rock. 

Branson is served by two airports: the brand-new Branson Airport (BKG) and the Springfield/Branson Regional Airport (SGF), in Springfield, MO. Air Tran and Frontier offers flights into Branson, while Springfield is served by many carriers, including Delta, United and American. A discount carrier offering great rates is Allegiant Air, with several flights into Springfield. Springfield is a one hour drive from Branson. Shuttle service is expensive, so if flying into Springfield we recommend a car rental, ranging from $25—$40 dollars a day at the airport.

You may find cheaper airfares if you fly into St. Louis, MO (STL), Tulsa, OK (TUL) or Kansas City, MO (MCI) . All of these airports are about four hours driving from Branson. 

To find the Camden Hotel and Conference Center, take the main Branson strip, which is Hwy 76, also known as Country Music Blvd. We are located at about the midpoint of the strip, across from the Andy Williams Moon River Theater. Watch on the right for the Grand Victorian Hotel, then a Denny's Restaurant, then Krispy Creme Donuts. If you see the new Steak and Chicken Buffet Restaurant, which looks like a barn, featuring a 40 foot tall chicken you've gone too far. You will turn right onto Tanger Blvd., which leads to an outlet mall. The Camden Hotel and Conference center is on the left side of Tanger Blvd.
