Yes, let's hope this wasn't the last.

I loved Stan Allens talk Tom Stones
Bill malone I think really has 2 chromosomes damaged

This was really fun, I especially liked Yann and Dani.

I hope it wasnt the last aswell.
Really enjoyed it all!

This was my second EMC and I loved it just as much as last year (and I'm working my way through the dvd's of the first year). It was a shame the live feed for Derren and Teller didn't work out, but they were just bonuss anyway. As with last year I felt the first session justified the cost by itself. Eagily awaiting my Al Koran book now

The EMC was amazing this year. Looks like they are planning Phase 2, so I assume it's on next year! I hope...

I strongly doubt phase two will be the same thing. I'd guess it'd be a new version of the conference of perhaps some other endeavor leveraging the existing community of speakers and attendees.

In past years, how much time passed for the production (and sending) of the DVD? I can't wait for the special content...(Teller and Derren brown special complete interview, and Maven effect explanation)

The first year the DVD mailing was a train wreck. People didn't get it until the following Spring. Last year was a lot quicker. I can't remember the exact date, but I think it was in October or November at the latest.

For me the highlight of this year, as last year, was Gaetan Bloom. Hilarious routining and extremely strong magic. Tina was great and I thought David Williamson's talk was very moving. But these are just the tip of another "epic" year with any one of the speakers making the cost of fee worthwhile.

I missed some of the sessions due to my own gigs, and some of the videos don't want to play yet. But with 2000+ people all wanting to watch and rewatch them I'm really not that surprised the EMC servers are feeling tired.

For me this was my 3rd EMC and the whole has just gone from strength to strength.

I'm hoping that EMC Phase 2 won't take too long to come to fruition. And if they're looking for volunteers to help behind the scenes in any way I'd be more than happy to volunteer my services.

Last year I think the DVDs may have been 2-3 months later, do not recall exactly. The additional download material was available sooner than that though, perhaps a couple of days after the conference.

The EMC 2012 Was Amazing!
Too Bad it's the LAST

As It was go good can someone explain why this is the last !

Wow, it's the last?

It was aprently always going to be a 3 year thing. However they are now moving into phase two (what ever that is). I think Paul Daniels is right in that we have to get 'the kids' off the rubish free content on youtube and ileagle downloads and get them suporting events like the EMC and relaising that paying for magic makes you stick at it and get more from it

Amazing magic and great talks. I look forward to next session next year.
So much talent out there.
