Here is an advance list of some of the auction items that will be available to individuals who attend TAM 7. We're still working on securing some items, so this definitely isn't everything - and I suppose there's a possiblity that some won't come through, though the ones on the list are pretty definite. Start saving up now in preparation for these opportunities and more!

James Randi Straitjacket Package

This is a one-of-a-kind item. Never before has James Randi signed a straitjacket, and this one is definitely amazing. Made of white canvas with brown leather straps, this straitjacket is hospital-grade and practically inescapable. The jacket is autographed on the front in black, and will be auctioned with a photo of Randi wearing the jacket being auctioned outside of the JREF and a DVD of the James Randi Niagara Falls straitjacket escape.

Penn & Teller Bullet Catch Display

Precise details available soon.

Magic Bears

Precise details available soon.

Lunch and Music with George Hrab

Join skeptical musician George Hrab for lunch on Friday at a sit-down restaurant (location as yet undetermined) and the JREF will pay the bill! The lucky winner of this auction will be treated to stimulating conversation and delicious food. Afterward, George will walk you through the creation of your very own song - to be performed onstage at the Talent Show. Either George will perform by himself, or you can join him for a skeptical duet. To make sure you never forget this rockin' time, a professional photographer will follow you on your outing and, after TAM, the photos will be sent to George, who will sign them and forward them to you. To top it all off - the Talent Show will be filmed for inclusion on the TAM 7 DVDs. That's right - your song will be on the TAM DVDs.
 
VIP Tickets to the Daily Show

You and your friends will be treated to the comedy genius of Jon Stewart! The winner of this auction will receive 4 VIP tickets to a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The auction winner will be responsible for all costs involved in transportation and hotel stay.
 
Planetarium and Observatory Trip with Phil Plait

Combine your funds with other TAMgoers to bid on this exciting adventure with Phil Plait to the observatory at The College of Southern Nevada. Four individuals will get to accompany Phil on a picnic dinner on Sunday at 7pm (so make sure your flight schedule accomodates this!) and then all of you will head over to the observatory for some stargazing. The Observatory is remaining open especially for us (they are normally closed on Sundays) so this will be an exclusive observation session. And don't worry - to commemorate the occasion, we will be sending along a professional photographer who will capture all the great moments. When the photos are printed, they will be sent to Phil, who will sign them and forward them to you. Join Phil, and reach for the stars!
 
That's right - what with the recession and all, we're trying to give a head's up on what items can be expected so people can budget accordingly and hopefully be able to bid on the item they want. These auctions will take place on specific days and times, and a sheet listing precisely what those are will be included in your TAM folder. A general schedule of when auctions will be is already posted within the TAM schedule.
