Nice
I'm planning to fly to London for that weekend in November and a friend of mine, a working professional will join me... maybe some more from Iceland. Who of you will be there, besides mark_c1975?

Hi Gunnar

Mark is pretty much spot on with his replies
Nothing before 7pm on Friday night.
Doors open 10am Sat & Sun with events starting shortly afterwards.

On the Saturday the Close Up Competition is in the morning with lectures in the afternoon

On the Sunday the morning starts with The Close Up Gala Show followed by lectures in the afternoon.

Lectures finish on both days by 6:30 so theatre can be prepared for the Gala Show.

Gala Shows are open to the public as well. There tend to be more public on the Saturday night show than the Sunday show-so expect applause in different places depending on which night you choose

Dealers deal over the counter and most take credit cards.

TM Member Will Houston will be performing and presenting his first lecture at the Convention following his great appearance and well deserved award in last years Competition.

Added to the bill this week are Luke Jermay, David Sousa, TJ, and Lex & Alina.

Full details of the line up can be seen at http://www.internationalmagic.com/pages/convention.html and we should have the completed timetable up ina couple of days.

If you can wait till then there may be an extra bit of news that might sway you as to whether to attend the Gala Show on the Saturday or Sunday night!


To Kati-£75 for 14 hours of shows and lectures works out as just over £5 per hour (not including social time with all TMers) Does that make it more palatable?

Forgot to answer the question about The Convention Rate at the Hotel. There is one but it is only slightly lower than their normal rate and there are cheaper options around if you search.

Again a couple of days and I'll be able to give more information.

If you don't mind being out of the Convention Hotel there is the Euston Premier Inn just across the road lohttp://www.premiertravelinn.com/pti/h ... elId=23882 and Bed and Breakfasts at http://www.londontoolkit.com/accommodat ... akfast.htm

Thank you so much Noel!
I look foreward to it

This looks like a good line up. I love David Regals magic (amongst others).

I recevieved some flyers this morning. So as well as giving them out at the next IMS meeting, I'll bring some along to the Ipswich Magical Society Convention.

There are some great magic conventions in the UK. We are very lucky over here.
