OK, we've waited a week since this year's so here's the thread for the next one!
As most will know, the Europen FISM Championships are being incorporated with the BMS Convention and, as well as a slight increase in hprice and apprent lack of after Sunday SHow Gala Party, the registration form already indicates some differences to previous years. From the BMS Website:
The 59th year of the WORLD’S LARGEST MAGIC CONVENTION takes place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday 18th, 19th & 20th February 2011 at the Opera House - Winter Gardens & Grand Theatre, Church Street, Blackpool, Lancashire, England
The Blackpool Magicians' Club are proud to announce that they will host the 1st ever FISM European Championships of Magic in 2011 as a part of their World famous Magic Convention. After extensive meetings with the FISM European Board a draft constitution was agreed forming the basis of the European FISM championships.
Blackpool is delighted to be able to welcome the FISM organisation in 2011 ahead of the 2012 World Championships. It will run the competitions alongside all of the existing lectures, shows and mammoth 125 magic dealer showcase, making the convention an even bigger experience.
The competitions will be split across two theatre venues. The Grand Theatre (which is situated 100 yards away from the Winter Gardens complex) will host the Close Up Competitions, whilst the Opera House (within the Winter Gardens itself) will host the Stage Competitions.
The Convention will be extended slightly with the competitions starting on the Friday morning of the Convention, giving an extra half day of championship magic. Our existing convention format will remain unchanged and will have all of the surprises of previous years but with the added bonus of competition excitement.
It promises to bring an exciting element to the world's most incredible magic convention. We will not be selling our usual VIP tickets for 2011 and so preferential seating will be on a first come, first served basis. so BOOK EARLY!!
