I am a relatively young magician who is greatly looking forward to seeing your lecture at this year's Blackpool Convention.

What are your views on the convention, and are you as excited by the prospect of attending the worlds largest magic convention as I am?

Best wishes,

I don't really have any yet, never having attended before. I am, however, looking forward to the opportunity it will afford me to meet many magicians for the first time. I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,
Darwin Ortiz

Mr Ortiz

Having been an admirer of your work since seeing you perform your Gambling Demo on the Paul Daniels show and receiving "At The Card Table" as a Christmas present, I was seriously p*ssed to see you are working the Blackpool Convention on the year I cannot attend (I have chosen to go to FISM instead).

My question is, if its not too intrusive, are you going to be heading back to the States straight after the convention or staying in the UK for a while?

Many thanks.

Unfortunately, yes.

Does that mean you will be at FISM too?

Ivan

Briefly, Darwin, I wonder if you would mind giving us a hint as to what we might expect from your lecture at Blackpool.
I'm very much looking forward to it.
I'll understand if you'd rather keep it under wraps.

Regards,
Stephen
