The Close Up Competition at this years International Magic Convention (28th-30th November) is set to be one of the most international yet with competitors from 13 different countries all jostling for the £1000 First Prize.

As regular attendees at the Convention will know, the pre FISM year always seems to be of a particularly high standard with many competitors seeing it as a “warm up” Competition. Previous winners include Lennart Green, Gazzo, Gary Kurtz and Shoot Ogawa and this year’s winner will join those impressive names.

The Competition remains in its usual Saturday morning slot, followed by lectures and the Gala Show in the evening. The Sunday itinerary contains more lectures, the Close Up Gala and the Special Surprise Event.
