### 5/5 — A Great Assistant

*2013-01-19*

The MagicSam app is a great assistant. From finding out what is going on, to giving you magic tricks to do. Where else can you get your picture taken with Houdini? This is an invaluable tool for any magician.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2012-07-26*

I don't know how I would have made it thru the convention without it.

### 4/5 — New MagicSAM APP, not an update..

*2012-07-23*

There has been no update posted, and the original app continues to show information now over a year old.  THIS app will install right along side the original, but has updated information about the convention that started yesterday (as I type).  Keeping content current is always the challenge, and the largely volunteer SAM has suffered from that challenge.  But for now, it's up to date.
