A popular event for Blackpool, this event was a huge success. Three very talented performers battled it out for the title of Junior British Magical Close-up Champion. We witnessed a fantastic standard of presentation from all performers.

Alex Hansford, Billy Debu and Joe Harper all performed to a capacity crowd in the Spanish Hall under what can only be described as perfect working conditions to an appreciative, encouraging audience. The future is very bright for magic with magic like this.

After much deliberation the President of Blackpool Magicians club, Alan Coventry, awarded 1st prize to Alex Hansford, 2nd prize to Joe Harper and 3rd prize to Billy Debu.
