SleightfulBlackpool Magic Convention 2023 Day 2 Review
Steve Faulkner recaps Day 2 of the Blackpool Magic Convention 2023, sharing standout moments from performances, talks, and tricks. Highlights include the Bakory guys' Whammy Board (a mentalism trick where predictions seem to defy logic) and My Touch (a mind-reading effect), Amanda Nepo's clever toilet roll trick (a simple yet ingenious vanish), and Artem's mesmerizing manipulation routine. The evening competition wowed with acts like contact juggling with water and a fresh take on the cups-and-balls. Steve's enthusiasm shines as he reflects on the day's inspiring acts and interactions.
