I'm going too. I'm afraid you have to order by post, not sure why though. Unfortunately since its the biggest convention in the world (in particular the one coming this Feb) I doubt it will be easy to get tickets now if you havent got them already. Give it a go though you might be lucky. If you send away for the tickets they will either send the money back (if they're fully booked) or send you the tickets in the post. Thats why they ask for your address on the form.

I really can't wait, Jay Sankey is gonna be there. I hope I will see him around the penguin magic stall.

Really? I would've thought they'd be fully booked by now. In the mini-convention in november they said they had already sold 3 quarters of the tickets. Maybe that was just a ploy to get more tickets sold though.

There was this Polish guy there in Novemeber called Salvano who was really good and since that was only a mini convention I have really high expectations of this one.

To be honest I really dont know if you can film the stuff shown there. Somehow I kinda doubt it because of all the copyright issues. You should be able to find a contact email address on the blackpool magicians club website if you really want to know.

I dont think you can record the shows but you could e-mail them and ask them. If you get tickets you will really enjoy it.

Hi There

I have asked about the recording and they said no there is a policy. Can we still take photos or not?

pictures should be fine.

Yeah I saw people taking pictures at the one in November so I seriously doubt they would stop you from taking pictures at the one next month. Although, I didnt see people taking pictures of the performances, only in the dealers room (some guy took a pic of himself with Stephen Tucker and got him to sign it).
