Blackpool 2008: Justin Lee Collins Bitten by the Magic Bug ?

Posted by: andrew in Blackpool2008, Magishing

Justin Lee Collins from The Convention Crasher was seen a number of times during the Blackpool convention along with his mentor for the series, Richard Cadell.

Just before tonight’s Gala Show, I spotted Richard, Justin and comedian Alan Carr heading in to the show to take their seats. It was clear from the Magic Convention Crasher show that magic really did make an impact with Justin.

His entry into the competition in the USA, where he actually got placed seemed to genuinely give him a kick and enjoyment. He then went on to perform at Richard Cadell’s Brean Leisure Park.

I didn’t managed to get a chance to talk to Justin, but I did get to speak to Alan Carr briefly as we were queuing for the toilets.. I let him go in front of me, and he commented ‘Thank You’ and winked..

It’s not much of a scoop, but it’s all I have on it!!!!

    I manged a quick hello with Justin and also got a photo of us together to go with my vast collection.
    ( I now live in Lincolnshire but was born not to far from Justin’s ) . Nice Guy.
    I Enjoyed the Convention even though I was working on The Magic Books by Post Stand.
    See you all next Year.
