Between February 19-22, the world’s largest and most prestigious gathering of magicians, The Blackpool Magic Convention, was held at the Winter Gardens.

Dating back to 1952, this year’s celebration saw over 5000 magicians head to the seaside town to show off their skills, including worldwide artists such as Hans Klok, Jack Rhodes, Sigfried and Joy, and Matt Edwards.

Included in the thousands of fans heading to Blackpool to get in on the fun was even American magician, mentalist and endurance performer, David Blaine.
