Martin Cox at 2018 Blackpool Convention

banner for Blackpool 1.jpg

A big "THANK YOU" goes out to Martin Cox who sent in his report from the largest magic convention in the world, Blackpool Magic Convention in Blackpool, England. In this Un-Numbered, Special Edition, he roams around the Winter Garden through the Dealer's Hall and elsewhere grabbing some conversations with dealers, registrants, organizers and talent. This gives you a pretty good feel of what went on during this event.

Following a recent screening of "Dealt", a documentary on the life of legendary card mechanic/magician Richard Turner, we conducted a Question and Answer session via Skype over the big screen in the theater. Richard gave us some insight into the making and production of this fascinating film. "Dealt" has not been widely released despite its critical international acclaim.

If you have not yet viewed the documentary, then you will be pleased to learn that the producers have released the digital download and DVD's which include additional scenes, more magic from Richard Turner, AND additional magic from the likes of Steve Forte, Jason England, Pop Haydn, Lennart Green, and much more!
