I just bought invisible by Damien Savina. Best thing EVER. check it out.

Omni pen.. that was ok. I'd never use it. Literally a see thru sharpy.
There was a cool levitating phone on fingertips thing, but i figured out the gimmick and would rather use my own version.

lots of good stuff. great convention. David Williamson was immense, and Colin Mcleod was better than i expected. Some wonderful stuff to dilute the terrible involvement of too many blackpool magicians.

The hook up on that ring float looks pretty sexy. Really don't need another ITR but if this was ever released as a booklet or dvd i'd take a look.

the hook up is incredible. the DVD comes with plenty of routines to get you started. really is instant reset.

its pretty perfect to be honest.

And the reel will never interfere where it is.

Perhaps we could ask all those who bought stuff to do a Review here sometime soon?

I bought a Bella Italia

The service was horrificly slow, the food was average


Magic-wise I took the War Games approach and decided not to buy anything

Laurence - you're a fool! Bella italia!? theres a revolutions in blackpool which is the ONLY place which does not feel like blackpool :P
my friend and I tried half a pizza each - duck and hoisin (best thing ever) and pepperoni. both amazing. great atmosphere too.

its amazing in there, and cheap with vouchers (easy to get). get yourself there next year you wont regret it!

I'll review invisible once i can perform it if you like. can also review a few other things depending on time :)
