Yey YEY!

I'm looking forward to some more "sessions" in the bar. It will be good to see you guys again.

Hows the first Icelandic IBM Ring getting on?

Yes, we look forward to it as well... not any less the nights at Ruskin

We had our first real lecture Wednesday last week and a big show on Thursday night. We had British magician David Jones over for lecture night and as the main attraction in our show. It went fantastically well, we sold out and had a lot of people coming the same day, wanting tickets. We had seats for just over 200, so next year we will definetely go for a bigger venue, around 4-500 people. I'll post some pics when I get some. You can see our poster at: http://www.toframenn.is in the meantime.

David was just fantastic, very funny and very talented magician!

Nice to see Jon on that poster - his moustache has grown a lot since February!!

An enterprising magician may think hmmm I couldnt half get some bookings that weekend.

Arthur has not updated the website yet with a list of who will be at Blackpool this year. Any ideas guys?

Although the highlight for me is still the dealers hall.

Derek Lever runs our club and in the latest magazine as of last week he says the following

Shimada will top the bill
David Solomon
JJ Sanvert
Helder Guimaraes (current FISM world champ)
JC Wagner
Kostya Kimlat
David Stone
Lennart Green
Martin Sanderson
Shoot Ogawa
Chris Priest (is this the guy from the forum?)
plus loads of others and 108 dealers

Hope this helps

I thought Rick Thomas had signed for the 2008 show?

Just ordered my ticket today and will be there for the first time nect February. Looking forward to it big time

He might have done to be honest, that wasn't a full list, just some of the highlights i guess.

There looks like more on the magicweek site

I sure hope so, last time i saw him was da bomb!

That surprise levitation to the top of the stage area will be remembered by all who saw it! I got the impression that he was headlining the show again, but apparently not according to the listings given above.

My tickets have arrived, my hotel's booked, all that's left for me to do is remortgage my house..

My tickets are on order so I'm in as well this time round.

I usually stay in the Roselea next to the Ruskin. Wheres everyone else staying? Anyone actually staying in the Roselea also?
