Ok after much thought I'm actually just going to say this meeting in Manchester will be happening on Sunday 4th May meeting at Brunswick Bar just down from the Piccadilly Train Station at 12 noon!
I'll be there and at least one other person has confirmed so far.
All levels of Magician welcome from complete beginners to proffessionals wanting to shoot the breeze and down some beers with other like minded folk.
No one has to perform though that would be great, I've been to some school night London ones and lots of the Leeds ones and have always had a great time. I've improved no end from the advice I've been given at these meets as well so they could help you.
Also you'll make more friends and you can never have too many, don't be afraid! It's a public place, the people are great and I might even buy the first round
Give me a shout if you're interested, I'll be there even if I end up supping pints alone
