There are several threads on Blackpool so check out the Search function for details. As for the Ruskin, "live and frantic magic plus lots of alcohol in the lounge and downstairs bar until the wee small hours" would be one way of describing it.....

Whatever you do, DO NOT wear a playing card tie and/or waistcoat, and dont walk around all day shuffling and spinning playing cards

Providing you dont do any of that, you will be absolutely fine

My first time going, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm a bit scared of the credit card bill afterwards though.

Dont be scared of the credit card bill! Just accept that it is inevitable....

Just think of it as doing your bit for the economy....

I went to my first convention and spent everything. Don't bring anymore money than you need, I was told not to bring my money, said I'll be careful with my money and I'll come home with money but I didn't... Try to avoid bringing money.... I had to make a choice wheter to eat lunch or buy magic, I compromised and bought a cheap muffin and the magic...

Ah well, do what you want...

Anyone else staying at the Ruskin ?

Dang!
I claim you owe a round for being the person to win a silly amount of money on a talent contest this year.
Shall we all just call it even?
