Next weekend is when 3000 magicians (well 3000 people with an interest in magic anyway) all descend upon Blackpool for a whole weekend of learning new tricks, watching shows, hanging out with other magicians etc. The Blackpool Magicians Convention is the largest convention in the world and attracts the very best close up magicians and stage magicians from all over – it’s also nice that the general public pretty much get a weekend off table magicians asking them to pick a card. Unless you are in Blackpool of course. I love it – but if you are not obsessed with magic, then I suggest avoiding Blackpool at all costs next weekend!
