ANNUAL INSTALLATION BANQUET

The annual Alliance of Illusionists Installation of Officers Banquet will be held at the Mexican Inn restaurant located at 1625 8th Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76104 at 7:00 pm on Thursday January 20, 2022, the Assembly’s regular third Thursday meeting night. This is the same location where previous banquets have been held, conveniently located about three miles north of the Illusion Warehouse. Note that when traveling north on McCart Avenue from the Illusion Warehouse magic shop, McCart turns into 8th Avenue as one crosses Berry Street.

Reservations are not required. Members and guests simply show-up for the event, order at the restaurant, and pay the restaurant for their meals. For use of the restaurant meeting room, the restaurant requires that everyone in attendance buy a meal. Also a small admission charge of $5 cash per person will be collected by the AOI Treasurer at the door to help pay for the special entertainment of David G Wonders from Tyler, Texas. David is a fulltime pro who is a master of the family show business!
