Some children don’t smile because are too embarrassed; they have cleft palates. Operation Smile enables children from all over the world who were born with cleft palates to have the surgery at no cost.

On The Anthony Darkstone In Conversation Talk Show at this year’s IBM British Ring Convention, Michael Finney, Shawn Farquhar, Joe M. Turner & Jason Andrews will be signing two decks of Bicycles each. Every card in each one of their decks will be signed by these four Super Stars of Magic.

Attendees will have the opportunity to win one of these decks. The rules are very simple. At The Registration/Welcome desk there will be a large box. Simply put your business card together with a UK banknote into a standard envelope & drop it into the box.

At the end of the show, each guest will draw two names that will win a deck each. The money collected will be presented on stage to Michael Finney by IBM Ring 25 President Keith Cooper. Michael Finney is the Founder & Board President of The Michael Finney Foundation. The Foundation was established in 1997 and its primary purpose is to raise money for Children’s Charities. These funds will go to the Children’s Charity - Operation Smile.

Apart from the signed decks from the above named guests on the show, there will be two more decks of Bicycles signed by George Schindler – past National President and currently, The Dean of The Society of American Magicians. Also kindly donated by The Dean will be two of the highly sought after DVD’s of “Entertainment First” as prizes.

That’s 12 prizes in total on the show. Each one a collectors’ item.

Attendees may place as many envelopes into the box as they wish. There is no limit. No restrictions. Except one! Envelopes that don’t contain a UK banknote will be disqualified.

Smile – You could be a winner, in every sense of the word. That’s real Magic!
