Vegas Showgirl Picks A Winner!

It's true! At the recent MAGIC Live! convention we held a drawing for a slot on the cruise. We even had a showgirl draw out the winning entry. While we don't know the show girl's name, the winner's name is Mark Byrne from Clearwater, Florida. So Mark will be joining us on the boat this January. That's good news for Mark, but it's GREAT news for everyone else. As it turns out Mark is one of the top balloon twisters in the country. He has two balloon twisting DVD's already and is working on number three. Mark will be leading one of our optional night time sessions on Creative Balloon Twisting. So if you twist balloons or have ever thought of starting, you're in for a real treat!



Cecil B DeCruise Contest Winner!
Last month's contest was to either create a script or short video that can be used to advertise the cruise. We received two entries: one script and one actual video. The winner was the video, which was submitted by John Bobik. John is on the cruise with us this year so you'll get a chance to meet the mind behind this short, funny video. John wins $25 credit towards Barry Mitchell Products. To see John's Video, click here to be transported to the CreativityAtSea.com Contest Page.


Michael Finney - Admiral of Creative Comedy

Since the summer conventions are behind us now and Michael's Dry Heat Classic is over, we'll be working with Michael in the coming weeks to get you all some updated information and specifics on Michael's session. Stay tuned!
