I'm off to the Trix magic convention this afternoon.
It starts tomorrow afternoon and goes on till late Tuesday.

It's usually a sell out, well it was but a few people are selling tickets still over on the
facebook page as they have had to drop out of coming.

So if you wanted to come along you might still be able, I enjoy the convention.

Max and his power presentation, the Quieten and his lecture.
The ribbon effect was very funny and usable and the dressing up for children would work fantastic.
