The International Magic Convention (Mermaid Theatre, London November 27-29) will kick off again this year with a one-man show. George Parker from Holland is a regular presenter and lecturer at Jeff McBride’s Mystery School and will be performing his solo show “The Fifth Element” on the Friday evening.

Combining strong magic and a rich narrative, George will take you on an unforgettable journey weaving together artistry, theatre and manipulative skill. George is one of Holland’s most successful corporate workers, and is taking time off from his incredibly busy schedule to make his debut at a British Magical Convention.

The evening will continue with A Stand Up Comedy Show featuring Chris Mitchell, The Raymond and Mr Timpkins Revue, and (just announced) Otiz Cannelloni, a regular of the Comedy Club Circuit and often cited as “the comedy magician’s comedy magician”.

We will be bringing you all the news as it’s released as well as a brand new guide, hotel info, and podcasts with the artists. The Convention runs from November 27-29 2009, you can order tickets for this the convention by visiting www.internationalmagic.com
