London’s only Magic Convention Approaches
A fantastic opportunity for fellow magicians and members of the public to learn about magic, interact and hone their skills. For 40 years magicians from around the globe have gathered to London to attend The International Convention of Magic, which will take place from 16th-18th November. Tickets are still available for the event, with Bridewell Theatre in London as the venue.
Last year was the 40th anniversary of The International Magic Convention or Ron’s Day, affectionately named after the late Ron MacMillan who first established the convention over 40 years ago. The event was marked by The London Festival of Magic, a four day event held before the weekend convention. The festival itself was so successful it has been continued for another year. With the bar now set so high the team will be pulling out all the stops to ensure it stays there.
Ron’s Day will be home to close up magic competitions, variety and gala shows and award ceremonies featuring magicians such as David Berglas, Simon Drake and Eric Mead (pictured above).
The event co-ordinator, Noel Britten, who is hosting the event has said “I have truthfully never been as excited at the line up for the show as I am this year. One of the acts is being kept secret. With him having never performed before in the UK, I want people to see his act live rather than on YouTube. All I can say is that if I won the lottery I’d employ him to perform his show daily – it is without doubt one of the most magical and hypnotising acts I’ve ever seen.”
