What? 1200! Maybe 120 typo lol. The Bucks will be there. 1200 is too much. Definately not worth it.
WOW $1,200 is expensive for 3 days of lectures...the names listed are pretty good but $1,200 is a bit much.
1200 is a lot but everything is included. room and board, i think that is what i read. this is not the first one. so they must have had some success to do it again.
Hmm i dont see room and board, but there is lunch and dinner. i guess its not bad for all the stuff you would learn. I suppose the initial price shocked me
Here
Here is the link to the tickets if anyone wants to check in out.
I would be so excited to meet Dan and Dave!

The price isn't too much... you're also getting into several shows, meeting many pro magicians, lunch and dinners, room and board. These guys still have to make some profit. My Mom was actually going to take me to this for my Christmas present, but she couldnt' get Noblezada to tell her the price, but when we found out it was too much. I may try and save up and go next year, but it's not likely, as I'll be spending around $400 "re-doing" my room. I don't like it the way it is, so I'm going to "customize" it. Sounds kinda girly, but w/e. Jeez, I got really off subject in that post. 
Yeah, it's not a bad deal...that said...
I would much rather spend that money (the exact same) on McBride's 7 day Master Class. I took a few summer's ago, and it changed my "magical" life. I highly recommend it. However, if you have the funds/time, check out Noblezada's meet, it looks pretty good as well.

Magic Live, which traditionally brings out the leading performers and most experienced artists in our field, came in at less that $1,200 even once you factored in registration, hotel, meals, AND air fare.
You could go to the combined IBM/SAM convention in Louisville which promises to be the largest magic convention held in the US in years for less than that price.
But only you know how to place value on your money. If any of these people really drive you to reach into your pocket - go for it. To me, I would rather spend time with people who have had succesful performing careers for years, people who have made tons of mistakes and learned from them, people who have made their living performing for real people in real venues all over the world - not just making videos for other magicians. But that's a matter of personal taste.
And while this event my promise a smaller, more exclusive attendance, you should consider two things: 1) there are many exclusive conventions in this country (limited to 52 or less) which are much more affordable and bring in LEGENDARY talent. 2) even at the biggest conventions, you can always seek out the people you want to spend time with, they are often there as attendees. They are usually more than happy to sit down and spend quality time with someone who is serious - and you don't have to pay for it (well, except maybe with a 'thank you'.)
Just be careful not to let the hype cloud your judgment.

p.s. If the marketing guy is a Dave Dee acolyte, the secret word is "guarantee."

It really depends on your own financial status on whether or not it's a bad deal. I mean, if you have that kind of money to blow, then it can't be a bad deal, but if you're like me, and make about $100 a month....it's a little much.
I would gladly spend 1200.00 on something that involved great guests and good magic. Sadly, I don't think this would be something that would offer that. From what I have seen and heard from this Noblezada guy is some effects that are not original and on the penguinmagic scene.
its cool that he is friends with top names in magic. but that does not make him one. For 1200.00 I would rather go to a convention and be able to meet and chat with names like Daniel Garcia, Bill Malone, Chris Kenner, Wayne Houchin and the bucks on my own, not through magician that thinks he's cool.
