An excellent weekend, all the stars who showed were extremely hospitable, and a joy to meet. i found that Daryl and jeff mcbride were amazing chaps to talk to, as was everyone else who attended.

I didnt meet any talk magic attendees, which was a dissapointment, but all lectures and shows were of excellent standard.

this was my first convention and it was a life experience i wont forget, i will attend next year for sure.

btw wasnt david blain supposed to be there?

I also didn't see any TM members apart from Mandrake and Bananfish ..... I was meant to phone/text Agecroft (Rob), but I got so excited at being let loose at my first time there, I completely lost the plot ..... soz Rob .

well you missed a great party friday night, it was so good we all slept in until tonight

Dunno where everyone intends to put their piccies, but I'll start with mine here ...........

1. David Blaine (& my cousin).


2. Daniel Garcia.


3. Eddie Gibson.


4. Marc Oberon.


5. Myles Nakouzi, Dan & Dave Buck.


6. Paul Wilson.

Nice pics moon,

i actually bumped into you a few times during the convention and didnt know you were on here lol.
I think you trod on my foot i gave a V sign and we parted company hahaha.

Steve.

notice ....

Blain is looking Spaced as usual haha

Steve

I'll tell this story as my mate isn't on here but.....

He walked up to Ammar in the Ruskin with a Camera after Ammar had had loads of people coming up to him for pictures. My mate said, Michael do you mind while handing him his camera. Ammar being a nice chap said sure no problem.

"great, do you mind taking a picture of me and my mate!" confused Ammar but you'd be pleased to know, he takes a good shot!

Agecroft, you're sad. On the site 30 mins after i drop you off!

Nice pics, moonbeam, but why do all these magicians look like you.

Oh. Oh I see.

Ahh moonbeam I saw you having that picture taken with Paul Wilson! I thought he was swearing at the camera at first and had to take a closer look, sorry if it looked like some weirdo was watching you having you picture done!

Note the TM badge proudly on display (cheers Mandrake for the text message ).

I do wonder about one thing .......... are there any 6 ft+ magicians out there ?? I'm 6 ft 3 ish (not exactly a giant) and I tower over most of them in the piccies, especially Marc Oberon and Dan & Dave .

Nice pics moonbeam!

Isn't David Williamson about 6' 3"?

Moon, that's cos they are little bu**ers. I walked round for 3 days, as Agecroft, Mark and Lawrence will testify, with the TM badge on, and never saw another one That is, another TM badge, not another Agecroft, Mark or Lawrence, believe me, one of each is enough

As for the best trick of the weekend, ask Lawrence how I made his kneecap disappear with DNLPVBT (Distance Neuro Linguistic Programing Via Blue Tooth).

Best part of the weekend, a lie in in tomorrow morning Oh, and Jeff McBride begging me to have a picture taken with him
