any info on it ?

thanks


Not sure but read somewhere that the show on saturday night is as follows.

12 magicians do a 6 minutes close up act for the first half which will be on large tv screens for all to see.

then the same 12 magicians do a 6 minutes stage act in the second half of the show.

The winner is decided by a clap-o-meter.

If anyone can confirm this or explain better that would be nice.

Are there anymore names to add to the list? Perhaps we could now start to agree on a suitable time for a meet-up

Galleon Bar is to the right after you enter the Winter Gardens - can't miss it! The Spanish Hall which hosts some of the lectures is upstairs over that area.

My cousin is hounding me to go - neither of us have been before ......... only problem is, he can only go on Sunday :?

Anyone going on Sunday :?:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Yeah, mine...I'm sure I mentioned me going at some point earlier. I'm very hurt to have been left off the list. :cry: Only copious amounts of beer will help mend my hurt feelings.
