  Magic Convention Guide — Authority: 134
  There seems to be more dealers this year, with the new venue there are three dealers rooms, all located next to each other.

  Magic Convention Guide — Authority: 134
  There are some moments in magic where you just sit back, you dont take notes, you dont try and work out the method, you just sit, you listen, you watch, and you smile, and clap, and understand what pure magic is..

  The last act of the competition was another UK act, John van der Put. Johns delivery and dry humor is second to none and he didnt disappoint here. Including his card on laptop screen, the whole set was excellent, again another potential placement in the competition
