Probably the best way to view us - but next time don't be a stranger, come over and buy us a drink :D !

Actually it seemed as though there wasn't a great deal of time to seek out other TM members as it was a very full day one way or another. It's good to know so many of us were there so perhaps next October we could see about fixing up some arrangements to meet & greet for a few minutes?

PS Am pleased to mention that I won 2 prizes in the Evening Prize Draw – two small Christmas Puddings and a very butch corkscrew thingy. I tried to come to some arrangement with the nice young lady who won the bottle of wine but no luck, she said she already had a corkscrew at home and wasn't interested in my Puddings either :cry:

Does anyone know if you can still get hold of the Oz lecture notes somewhere? Seriously, I missed a lot of his lecture due to messing around on the Peterborough ring road, and am having a Perfecto-deficient crisis!

And if anyone knows where to investigate the "Africa - 150 days - Pamela Anderson" prediction, do tell...

I thoroughly enjoyed the day. I loved Oz, he was fantastic, Perfection really had me, great stuff. Oz's part in the evening show was brilliant too, I loved his holiday prediction bit, and the participant description was sweet. I really enjoyed Oz.

I've seen Paul Daniels' show before but it was great to see it again, he is just an incredible performer. My dad is convinced he uses a stooge for his electric chair routine though :roll:
His close up bit was a real highlight for me though, fantastic.

I didn't buy an awful lot though, to be honest not a lot really took my fancy. I got Strange Travellers though, but I have yet to open the bag.

Overall a really good day, was cool to meet a few forum members too. Good stuff.

You could have a word with pdjamez - Oz is appearing in his area this weekend - see http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic14324.php&highlight= - and see if he can get a copy for you.

Or maybe giving Oz a message via email when he is back in the USA?

It did seem to fly past, Me and Steve brang our camera's and had some thoughts to film us flourishing and stuff.

As for buying stuff, I kept on strolling back to The Card Collection :P , and £15 for Hit the road seemed good, I've always wanted something featuring Lee Asher or Paul Wilson.

Definately have to come next year.

I ditto that!

And I didn't get to buy Hit the Road because of somebody! :lol:

I was going to make a video of all TM members doing magic and flourishes and make it into like a variety video but that went down the hill...

The day was great! It was really well organised and the pace of events kept the day exciting. Paul Daniels lecture was superb. Lots of great tips from a pro.

Hats off and top kudos go to Oz. I managed to snatch up his lecture notes and his DVD 'Stealing Pips', which has a lot of really cool stuff on it. We managed to have a long chat in the evening. He is really down to earth and really thinks hard about the structure, sequence, and patter of his routines. Very refreshing.

The dealer room was excellent! It was great to meet Peter Nardi and see him demonstrate his stuff.

Please join me in congratulating the IMS team for organising such a great day!

Paul Daniels on Stage with Mr. Psycrow (although he will always be Neil the Engineer to everyone there).

Neil - don't worry - I will be sending you all the photos I took.
