Title: Blackpool Magic Convention 2018
Post by: Graham Lee on February 11, 2018, 05:35:05 PM
It's that time of year again, the Blackpool magic convention is next weekend 17/19th Feb.
We drive up Wed morning to start setting the stand late wed afternoon and on Thursday.
Then open Fri/Sat/Sun. The plan is to build a full size motorbike for people to sit on if all
goes well and we do not come up with a plan "B"

Riding with the wind through our hair, he he.
Next time we might bring a strong fan for that effect
or make a crash helmet so people are road safe.

You can see the new table cloth we have for the events.
Thelma was not too happy with the look of the exhaust,
I did not mind it as it served a purpose.

Thelma was not keen on the exhaust, I think sometimes we are our own worst critics.
Next time we will do it different but it served a purpose at the show.
With the added front mud guard.

The equity guy came around and took our picture on the last day.
We always have a chat with him as he is at all the shows we attend but
we only know him as the equity guy, we should find out what his name is.
