Hi guys,

For those that follow the competitions, it can be very helpful to watch other acts so that you can compare yourself and know the standard for what you must achieve.

I started of with acts from the Blackpool 2008 Convention, and followed with a few that I really like. Some are just clips of the competitors but I included them as it showed what the other competitors were like as a character if nothing else.

If you have any links of your own, please post them.
