We Love Magic!
Welcome to We-Love-Magic.co.uk,
a celebration of magic in all its forms. We hope you
enjoy your visit.
This is a site for people
who have recently decided they want to become magicians
and for lay people who love magic. In other words, it’s
not for experienced, established magicians (though,
of course, you are very welcome to have a look and to
contact me with any suggestions you may have).
If
you are just embarking on a career in magic, you'll
find lots of useful advice and suggestions for honing
your act and getting booked.
If you want to see a magic
show, you'll find recommendations and reviews.
If you're looking for
magic tricks, books
to teach you magic, novels
about magic and magicians, a magician
to hire for your party, wedding or other event,
or just for general information about magic, magicians
and what's going on, you'll find it all here on We
Love Magic.

Magic conventions
Whether you're a magician or simply
a magic fan, you'll find loads to enjoy at a magic convention.
The huge and wonderful
Blackpool
convention is coming up - 19th, 20th, 21st February.
This is the biggest magic convention in the world and
extremely popular. Tickets have sold out for this year
and, if you want to go next year, I suggest you book
in the summer at the latest. For this year, if you're
not going, I'll let you know what happens :-)
Three
weeks later - 12th, 13th, 14th March - there is the
much smaller but also excellent convention in South
Tyneside. A great line-up this year, including the
coup of a video-chat with the legendary Simon
Drake. I've been going to this convention for a
few years now and have always enjoyed it enormously.
South Shields, where it's held, is a lovely town and
it makes for a nice holiday as well as a magicians'
gathering.
