January 17th, 2011 - Magic Convention Guide

Beat The Wand 2011Beat the Wand is back at the Blackpool Magic Convention on the Saturday evening, in the theatre bar at the Winter Gardens! It was a fantastic show last year and it was all down to the amazing acts who entered. This year the organisers want it to be bigger and better than ever but that is only possible with your help.
