Derek Lever, The Convention organiser for the Blackpool Magic Convention announced today that the Blackpool Magicians Club, would be buying their own Theatre club, and hoped to have the venue up and running for next years convention.

This is pretty big news, that was hidden away in the convention program. Effectively, this means that the Blackpool Magic Club is the first magic club in the world to own it’s own performing theatre. Derek Lever said, that “This would make the Blackpool Magic Club the envy of the magical world “. He also added that the theatre would be used for various events around the convention period next year, possibly hinting at a repeat of this years Shazam shows in the run up to the Blackpool convention this year.

The idea of a magic society or club having it’s own theatre to perform in is certainly a great idea. The potential for lectures, shows, events and further methods for creating income huge.

It will be interesting to see where this takes the convention next year.

Update: The location of the new headquarters for the Blackpool Club, and its theatre is the old Claremont Theatre Club on Sherwood Road. The full address is at the rear of 1, Sherbourne Road, North Shore. Blackpool. FY1 2PW.
