♥ LONDON MAGIC CONVENTION

Hello First name / friend,
 
The London Magic Convention was last Sunday and what a great day it was!
 
This wholesome day of social, sharing and supportive shenanigans is a welcomed hit of magical goodness I needed.  
 
The vibe and spirit that the Nyman family have cultivated within this relatively new annual gathering is wonderful, and quite aptly gives all the feels of the ‘mom and pop’ of magic conventions.
 
 
Andy and Preston have managed to foster and hold on tight to the 'newness' and at the same time maintain the welcoming, family feeling.  Perhaps it's the open and encouraging vibe of the competition, perhaps it’s the unity created by the madness of the £4 gala, maybe it’s the moment of silence given to those lost over the previous year, or it could be talking openly about mental health in memory of Anthony Owen, turning this tragic loss into a positive expression of love and caring toward all members of our community…or maybe it's just the new and inventive ways of showing Rodney James Piper falling hilariously off stage.
 
All I can say is I come away feeling better.
 
Thank you, Andy, Preston and the Nyman family.
 
 
*See what you missed in 2023 here.

Short and sweet today, this convention is impacting the magic community in a wonderful way, and I like it.
 
Have a great week!

🔁  If you know someone who might benefit from this newsletter it would be cool if you shared it with them, it would really help me out!
 

💪🏻 Workout Plan:
  • Help one person in the magic community, without expectation of anything in return.
  • Reply to a post, phone a friend, put people in ntouch - keep the positive momentum moving.
🍎 Magic Diet
  • Book - Our Magic - Written by David Devant and Nevil Maskelyne - published in 1911.
 
  • Now long out of print this hidden classic is still as relevant today as it was 100 years ago.  I have not read it cover to cover however the opening essays alone are highly nutritious food for thought, especially for the modern magician looking to connect with their audiences and widen their magical thinking.
 
  • OUT OF PRINT - Available in various places as a pdf download.
  • Physical copies are put up for sale fairly regularly online -  After a quick search they are going for between £135-£375.
🤩 Favourite things:
  • Chillies water bottle - The Ordinary - I frequently find myself struggling to think alongside a dip in energy, and I usually find I've not had enough to drink!  The presence of a bright orange bottle on the desk reminds me to soak up the liquids within.  Let's stay hydrated out there 💧

Take care, and keep up the good work!
