Essential Magic Conference 2011

This year's Essential Magic Conference will take place on the 7th, 8th and 9th of July. For those who don't know this is an online conference for magicians. 3 days of magic, 16 hours of lectures, presentations and performances from 33 magicians. All broadcast live in high quality video and then uploaded for online access whenever suits you. And if that wasn't enough we send you a DVD collection, 8 DVDs in fact, containing video of the entire event.

It's no exaggeration to say that last year's event was an outstanding success being given an 'Epic' rating from our members in an online poll on the last day of the conference. The conference is organised by Luis de Matos, Marco Tempest and myself and we'd like to see you all there again this year. The Speaker list has been finalised and will be posted online in the next day or two. We think you will be amazed. Meanwhile you can visit the Essential Magic Conference website to find out more, sign up for the EMC Newsletter or register. http://essentialmagicconference.com/

Essential Magic Conference

This blog has never been overtly commercial but it would be remiss of me if I did not mention the upcoming Essential Magic Conference, that I think has its heart in the right place. It is being organised by Luis de Matos, Marco Tempest and myself.

It is magic's first digital conference with live broadcasts, on-demand downloads, question and answer sessions and if you register now you'll even get a set of DVDs containing all the conference videos mailed to you when the event is over. It's a non-profit venture and the ticket price is a bargain. It takes place on 15th, 16th and 17th of July.

It's important to note that this is not a skype conference. All the speakers will be there in one location and all lectures broadcast in high quality video and shot on multiple cameras.
