Subject: Mind Magic Convention...
Dear All,
Good website to check out if you've never been: www.mindmagic.co.uk
For those who's never heard of this convention... it is where fellow
Mind Readers and Magicians gather every year in a seminar (mixture of
talks/lectures and demonstrations) where they learn from the masters.
A few names come to mind such as Derren Brown, Ian Rowland, David
Berglas, Ali Bongo, Andy Nyman, Anthony Owen and Andrew O'Connor (the
last 3 just mentioned are part of the Mind Control Team - but i'm
sure you all knew that!).
Here's a quote by Andy Fisher taken from www.mindmagic.co.uk:
"For me, the highlight of the day came in Derren Brown's performance.
By using his principle of 'invisible compromise,' an extraordinary
chain of direct mind reading and trance-inducing suggestions were
presented to a dumb-founded audience. While his style is a little
aggressive at times, Derren is doing things that most of us have held
to be little more than pipe dreams. His thinking on mentalism and
magic in general is ground-breaking and I would urge you to seek him
out if he is lecturing in a country near you!"
Found this website a few months ago and was so gutted to find out
that it's not a yearly event anymore! I remember emailing Duncan to
find out if any of the conventions got recorded and if it was
available but he said it wasn't recorded unfortunately. He said if
there will be another Mind Magic Convention it will be mentioned on
www.magicweek.co.uk so i'll be looking out for that day to come.
I could only wish I could turn back time and attend all of those
Conventions when I had the chance - and learn from the great masters!
...
I've also added this to the Links page so if you can't find this post
(probably due to the huge amount of posts lately: 1000+ in March!).
...
I do apologise as this bit is irrelevant but I remember someone asked
me what pets I have. Sorry can't remember who you are and can't find
the post so I'll tell you here instead: I got 1 dog and a few
goldfish.
Right, thats enough of me... happy reading and goodnight!
Sang
