Blackpool 2008

We have just returned from another fantastic weekend at the Blackpool Magicians Convention. After a very long, but thankfully uneventful drive (thanks Sean) we joined about 2000 other magicians eager to see some of the world’s best magic acts at the world’s biggest magic convention.

During the day there were competitions, lectures and shows to see and over 100 magic dealers eager to take all our money, which as usual, they did very successfully.

Airgon and Allan both got involved in the close-up magic sessions.  Here they are assisting David Stone and J.J.Sanvert, two amazing magians from France.

Airgon (our newly elected President) told us of his new healthy living lifestyle change although there was little evidence of at meal times (don’t tell his wife – oops!!!).

Healthy Living? Healthy Living?

Allan (Kipper) Wright managed to stay awake for at least 2 lectures and most of the Gala show this year.  Well done Allan.  Here he is with Airgon showing off their new suits (they actually paid money for these).

After the evening shows we returned to our hotel where we had the chance to meet up with old friends and show off our latest magic tricks until the early hours of the morning.
