I just got back from the Blackpool Convention in the UK. I went there with my friends David Blaine and his right hand man Doug McKenzie. This obviously created quite a stir but David tried to be very accessible and sign autographs, take pictures, etc. The convention was spectacular as usual and we will have some wonderful new items.
A few highlights of Blackpool that you should watch for: Coinvex 2.0, Pentacle, new Big Blind Media releases, upcoming Michael Vincent DVDs by Alakazam (wait until you see these), Athos by Paolo Cavalli and Titanas, Fresh Mint DVD by Cameron Francis and Dave Forrest, Surefire DVD (the guy who gave us Shoet), Devil's Mark, Dan Garcia lecture notes, some upcoming GREAT new releases by my buddy Mark Mason, French Connection by James Chadier and Mathieu Bich, OCL by Ben Williams, an upcoming DVD by Paul Gordon, a wonderful new coin effect by Wayne Dobson, etc.
I leave Sunday for The World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas which should be a great convention as well.
