While I had an eventful day yesterday with magic adventures, I am counting today as the first official convention day. After getting up early for breakfast and having a seaside walk, I headed to the Winter Gardens and queued to get in and then attend lectures. As I had already registered, it was nice and quick to get in just after 9 a.m. I then worked my way through all the following lectures.
Chris Dugdale - lecture 10am
Alyx Hilshey - lecture 12pm
Oliver Tabor - lecture 2pm
Thankfully, all the lectures that I planned, I was able to get into and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I also managed to get lecture notes from Alyx.
I spent limited time at the dealers today, but I did get to visit the new Magictricks shop by artist/magician Alex Jesson (aka Matricks Illusion). I knew that his shop would be my downfall, as it would have loads of fab magic-related art, pictures, mugs, and coasters. I cannot wait to have them on display in my magic room/office. Website here.
Here is a gallery of today so far. I have the Gala show this evening and I will look forward to that! I will poster separately about the evening shows.
As for the signed playing cards and other signed items, I will post about them separately.
