An Very Pleasant Evening...

After the late Gala (late because of the banquet) , most of which I missed because of the first curry of the convention we moved to the Art Centre and watched the midnight magic show. We did this unusually from the front row.

David Williamson compered in the place of John Fealy who wasn't feeling well and there was some good, fun stuff from Lennert Green, Kevin King, Gaeton Bloom (with his card manips set) Tim Gabrielson and Johnny Thompson and Pam. The latter two were really great and told stories of dog smuggling and Dai Vernon at the Castle and Johnny did a couple of card tricks as well.

Then it was off to the IBM (unofficial) poker championship were JJ lost out early on to Ben Stone. He is devastated!
