(Past Convention Chairman 28th NZ International Magicians Convention)


Many thanks to all the registrants who attended the Convention at Palmerston North last Labour Weekend. We hope you all had a "fun" Convention.

Souvenir Photographs

A momento of the Convention has now been prepared consisting of short snippets of convention highlights in a Video Montage and a complete selection of Photos taken at the Convention by Kevin Bills Photography Limited, Denise Parker (award winning photographer) and Manawatu Standard. These include the Kevin Bills group photograph, Manawatu Standard's coverage of the gala show and candids taken at the Sherwood Motor Inn and the Valentines banquet (including the prize giving and presentations) as well as photos taken in the dealers room and competition rooms.

The photos/video are produced on high resolution CD and can be viewed on a CD/DVD read-capable computer or printed off. As usual, they are for domestic use only and copyright is reserved by the Palmerston North Magic Circle. If you wish to use them for commercial use, please contact the Club.

The price is only $15.00 plus $4.50 packing and postage within New Zealand ($NZD9.00 for overseas). If you wish to order, please send your remittance to Palmerston North Magic Circle at P O Box 266, Palmerston North marked Convention Photos.

There is also available a complete video record of all competitions acts. If you wish to have a copy of your competition act this is available at $25.00 per DVD (your act only). The competition video cannot be made available except to the performers concerned.
