Organised by Alex Hansford, Andrew Frost and Brad Hodgins, NEATCON is focused on the culture and community of the London card magic scene.
In London, we've been privy to some really fooling card magic. In 2020 we had the idea of organising an in-person version of THE NEAT REVIEW books. Three years on, and with the help of the best card magicians in the UK, NEATCON is here, and we'd love you to join us.
5 Lectures.
Workshops.
JAMS.
Plus some surprises.
Entirely focused on card magic and gambling sleight-of-hand.
Tickets are purposefully limited to ensure adequate contact between ALL lecturers and attendees. We want every attendee to properly jam with our lecturers.
Our official lineup is as follows: GUY HOLLINGWORTH will be sharing never-before-seen, unpublished material from his new work-in-progress project. ROSS TAYLER will be teaching (and performing) some of the most fooling card magic you have ever seen. ANDREW FROST will be lecturing and offering a one-off workshop, and Ed Marlo student JUSTIN HIGHAM, from a hidden-away Drawing Room, will be giving three limited classes. ALEXIS CONRAN, for the first time ever, gives a peek behind the curtain of his TV work writing and presenting “The Real Hustle” and “Hustling America”, including bringing along props & gaffed gambling paraphernalia from these shows. CHRISTIAN GRACE is bringing entirely new card material that he hasn’t taught or lectured ANYWHERE BEFORE. It will fool you. Christian is also offering an exclusive 10-seat Folded Card Switches workshop teaching his unpublished billet switches.
All NEATCON lecturers will include material they have never lectured before.
All NEATCON lecturers will include a final effect that they will not explain. Every lecturer will fool you.
