Arriving in Blackpool & David Sousa Lecture

We have arrived in Blackpool, who would have thought that our hotel would be the only pink painted hotel in Blackpool. After registering we had a quick look around the dealers, it was packed! Went for a late lunch pizza and attended the David Sousa (4pm lecture which in my opinion was not the greatest opening for the convention! The room started off packed but within minutes people decided to leave, David's lecture was aimed at presenting a manipulation act. It gets an MP rating 3/10.

Stu's comments.
The first lecturer had something interesting to say, but hid it well. Rating 2/10. Basically he was saying if you're on stage make sure you can be seen which I know it seems obvious but I've seen international acts doing exactly what David was advising against. Also it was billed to last an hour; it started late and only lasted around 30 minutes.

Geoff's comment - A great magician, but needs to brush up on his lecturing! 3/10.

Ah well - so far I'm not missing much :-)

this is the first year that I've had to miss Blackpool for over seven years, so you guys' blog is going to be really useful.

Thank you ever so much.

Kindest regards

David De-Snoozer would have been a more apt name for this lecture :)
