How was it at the Blackpool Convention?
What were your highlights ( new releases, seminars, ...)? Could someone write a short Review over their impression of what they thought of the Blackpool Convention? dj |

As normal it was very busy, was it a sell out? I'm not sure as there seemed to be plenty of seats free at the shows each night. All the dealers seemed to be doing very well and were all excellent and helpful, I personally didn't think there was a lot of choice regarding new releases, however I have been following the café latest forum so I knew what to expect And had no surprises to look forward to. Couple of things which stood out were Visionary by Steve Young and Gone by Alakazam, two great effects. I did as always spend a small fortune on a lot of other stuff....just have to hide the bags from the wife now 😀
The lectures this year were ok, but I have seen better at Blackpool, I'm a big fan of Michael Webber but his lecture for me just didn't work this time, it was a real shame as he normally blows the audience away. There is always a ton of choice of lectures to choose from and you will never get bored! The shows each night were good, some different acts of which there was some brilliant talent. I think it's nice to see a non magical act for a change, the thinking and ideas behind the acts is really enjoyable. Some people slate Blackpool convention, yes it's not held in the most glamorous of towns but choose a decent hotel and it feels a lot better, the convention is great, full of magicians from all around the world all enjoying a common interest, the chats in the Spanish bar are always brilliant fun with everyone showing off the latest purchase from the dealers and like me no doubt trying to preform them with no practice! If you have never been, give it a go if you can, it's a top weekend. Cheers Ian.
