INTERNATIONAL MAGIC SHOP

Still affectionately known as "Ron's Day", even though this is now a full weekend event, this convention is a rare opportunity to catch the best names in magic often for the first time in the UK.

We are moving venues this year to a fabulous new central London location - The Mermaid Theatre & Convention Centre. Having sold out the Gala Show for the last three years we thought it time to move to a larger venue for even more magicians to discover why this weekend is considered by many to be the most exciting annual magical event in London.
