BLACKPOOL MAGIC CONVENTION NEWS - UPDATE JANUARY 18, 2010

Registrations for the Blackpool Convention in February 2010 are at an all time high and is predicted that we will sell out before the event.


The exciting news is that Blackpool Magicians Club's bid to obtain the European Championships from FISM has been accepted and the FISM European Championships will be held as part of the Blackpool Convention in 2011. The length of the Convention will be slightly extended in that it will commence on Friday MORNING at 9.00 a.m. and much of the Convention will be dedicated to world class Close-Up and Stage competitions.

A meeting will be held with the Presidium (Committee of FISM) during Blackpool Convention week to draft the plans for the conference. Entry details for competitors will be released as soon as possible. This will be the very FIRST OFFICIAL FISM EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS ever staged. ANOTHER MAJOR COUP FOR BLACKPOOL MAGICIANS' CLUB.

We will of course, as previously advertised be presenting the FISM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in 2012 in July (as well as the normal Blackpool Convention in February, 2012). The official FISM 2012 website will be launched in the coming weeks. Registrations for the FISM World Championships in 2012 have already exceeded expectations and we believe that this event will also sell out.

Hi Craig,
Just to clarify from your post above. This year's Blackpool Convention will run as normal with the dealers opening at 1pm.

'The length of the Convention will be slightly extended in that it will commence on Friday MORNING at 9.00 a.m. and much of the Convention will be dedicated to world class Close-Up and Stage competitions.'
This refers to the 2011 convention and the programme of events for the European championships, not this year.

Cheers
Andrew Green
Blackpool Magicians' Club
