David Ben makes his first European Magic Convention appearance at the International Magic Convention at The Mermaid Theatre from November 26th to 28th 2010.

As a noted performer he has toured Canada with his one man show hailed an artistic success wherever it played providing “a particularly winning, and entertaining, opportunity to ponder the nexus of conjuring and theatre”. As a protege of Ross Bertram, Ben has a deep understanding of the history of magic and as the author of Dai Vernon’s critically acclaimed biography, he exhibits a broad insight into the workings of magic and sleight of hand of the highest order.

As a creator of original effects and methods and writer of essays on the theory of magic, he authored “Tricks” and his performances have been heralded as “nostalgia, wit and prestidigitation mixed in perfect proportions”. His appearance in London will give you the first chance to witess his abilities in the flesh.

Jun Kim Hyun, the fabulous Korean manipulator who won 1st Prize at the Blackpool Convention earlier this year, returns to the UK for The International Magic Convention in London in November 26th-28th.

One of the very top scorers in the manipulation category at FISM in Beijing last year, Jun is a member of the new breed of Asian manipulators who combine amazing technique, break neck speed and tremendous stage presence.

It is only fitting that a brilliant  manipulator should attend this convention, started 39 years ago by the founder of International Magic, Ron MacMillan, a fellow FISM winner and billiard ball specialist.

Pit Hartling (and some would say even more importantly his alter ego Heinz) will be appearing at The International Magic Convention in London later this year, November 26-28 2010.

A FISM prize winner at the age of just 17, Pit has built on this success to become the most highly regarded card performer around in his weight division. Flyweight in size, heavyweight in dexterity.

Pit will be lecturing and performing in both the close up and Flicken Finger Show (Friday night). Heinz will be making a couple of appearances during the Convention and for anyone who has never experienced the “Heinz magic” before it is one of the great mixes of technical skill and comedy characterisation you are likely to see- self appointed babe magnet and international playboy, and that’s not just his opinion…well it is actually.
