SATURDAY:
5:00 TalkMagic members meet by (now closed) Registration Desks
5:30 TalkMagic members retire to a bar for an hour or so to have a chat/drink/showoff

And Lior Manor is from Singapore.

Will 5:00 be ok to meet if the Lior Manor lecture doesnt start until 4? is it guaranteed to last an hour?

meet at 5 to go to a bar at 5:30, so long as people are there by 5:30 it should be sound. seems like there's enough time to see all the lecture

OK, Im just curious as to what Lior Manor is. Other than a magician and mentalist he claims to be an Infotainer. Curious

I think Lior is from Israel.

He talked at Tabula Mentis II last October. A very interesting corporate entertainer.

Ohhh that there be a gap between 5 and 6 on Friday,

Drinks anyone?

Mines a lemonade.

His website says singapore - I think. You could be right though Tomo.

I'll probably be free 5 to 7 on friday, not to bothered about Valerie's lecture. I'm in!

Pity the David Stone lecture is so late on friday night, i'll be a bit worse for wear by then.

yeah if it'd have been someone else i might have missed out on it and gone clubbing or something but after seeing him last year he's such good enertainment.

Lawrence, sounds good to me though I will need to pop back and eat at somepoint.

We're clubbing after stone's lecture, boys!

Yeah sure am! I meant I would have skipped this to go clubbing earlier but I wouldn't want to miss Mr Stone

Anyone know who is perfoming in the close up competition this year?
