Having the venue at the NEC would at least double the amount of visitors.



I am not sure it would and in fact I am sure it would at least triple the cost of the tickets too (please note that is a scientifically calculated statement based on something I call, for the uninitiated in long complex maths, a complete and utter guess!). As far as I am aware there are not stages or theaters at the NEC so would need to hire "a stage" for the gala show. It would surely be more expensive??

By Train
Getting to us by train is brilliantly easy as the NEC is located less than a ten-minute walk from Birmingham International Railway Station - you won’t even need to brave the elements. Direct services run all day, however, if you’re traveling from further afield you may need to catch a connecting train at Birmingham New Street, which is less than a 15-minute journey away. Just enough time to fuel up on caffeine. For more information, visit National Rail or call them on 08457 484950



some of us don't do the walking ... and a 10-minute walk for you could be anywhere up to a 30-minute "roll" for me depending on hills and access ramps.... but as Oasis once said, " you gotta roll with it"....Sorry to quote Oasis at you. Smile

Of course, down hill, the time can be much quicker .... or longer if I factor in crashing and overturning (happened at work once of twice down hill!).

It has to be in Blackpool, otherwise it couldn't be called the Blackpool magic festival, (or convention)
it would be something else...

The venue? You mean the Winter Gardens should be moved to Manchester?

Anyone can run a magic convention anywhere they want, but the organisers of the Blackpool Magic Convention are unlikely to run one elsewhere though, since it is the Blackpool Magicians Club that runs it. From their perspective, why would they?

I am from London and there have been conventions in London of course but nothing beats the Blackpool one . Ironically the fact that it is in Blackpool and not massive glamour makes it special as far as I am an concerned . I mean you can stay in a luxurious hotel all over the world any weekend . This is about magic and the people you meet old friends and new ones and thiis is what makes it so special to me . Derek Lever being gone is a major plus but the venue is fine for what I am looking for simple as . If you can't afford Blackpool you won't be affording London trust me why do you think the international convention has basically packed up ? Reason too expensive to hire the venue and not many would buy tickets if prices were raised and hardly anyone would turn up dealer wise or acts etc etc Tarik 😊
