HI, (sorry for my english)

We are 3 sympathic magic guy from france....and we want to go to the blackpool convention.

We will arrive to London stansted airport (from nantes by raiyan air) and
We want to go to blackpool (last year was easy.. but no more plane to go with raiyan air)

I'd go into London, to Euston station, and catch a Manchester train (basically, you need to be on the West Coast Main Line). Get off at Stockport. There's a connection from Stockport that takes you to Blackpool.

I think you're best off looking on the internet, because you might get a good weekend deal on a car. Once you get out of London, it's all motorways (M25, M40, M42, M6, and M55 straight into Blackpool), so navigating isn't a problem - it's just a very long way!

What day do you arrive - the Thursday or Friday?

Four hours might be optimistic on a Friday night, but I do apologise for our ridiculous train system.
