9. NETWORKING: Most importantly, members receive something that isn't as tangible: the ability to meet and form business relationships with people who make up this diverse group called "magic dealers." Members better understand how someone creates, names and manufactures a product; they will learn how to hone their own business skills, whether it's behind the counter or through mail-order. From time to time, we have some special encounters, like the Las Vegas M.D.A. trade show where we were extended the invitation to chat backstage with Siegfried and Roy over champagne. There are many other benefits that members will discover for themselves.
