As I recall it was 2 specials going around the world. They didn't rank them 1 to 10. 5 on one, 5 on the other. A place in London (Magic Circle), a place in Las Vegas (Lance Burton Show), a place in New York City (Monday Night Magic), a place in Gettysburg, PA (Joe Kerrigan dinner show), and of course, Dorothy Dietrich and Dick Brookz's Houdini Museum, Tour & Magic Show in Scranton, PA. I remember these, I think, because they were on the same show. They went to Los Angeles also, I think.

@guestmaga OF COURSE they went to Los Angeles. That's where the Magic Castle is. I'm sure they also went to Colon, MI, because of the Abbot's Magic Get Together.

Very interesting. What were the other nine, and what was the order they were placed in from #10 to #1?
