Marc Oberon – Winner European Close-Up |
The Stage Online reports Marc Oberon has won the inaugural European Magical Close Up Championships, held at this year?s Blackpool Magic Convention.
We were trying to find out who won it last year until we found out “inaugural” means “first.” We thought it had something to do with a hernia. So Mr. Oberon’s win has now set the standard for this award.
Mr. Oberon beat-out Feco from Hungary and Jorg Alexander from Germany. All together there were nine in the close-up contest. The 53rd Annual Blackpool Convention had a record attendance — over 3,500.
The Guinness Book of World Records named it the “largest magicians’ convention in the world.”
Check out Mr. Oberon’s website for a view of interesting Flash programming in a frame system that actually works. The lay-out is inspiring.
Congratulations to Mr. Oberon and to the organizers of the Blackpool Magic Convention.
