Those of my readers who do not reside in Melbourne may not be aware of the significant event underway in our fair city, namely the renowned annual conference of the International Magicians’ Association. As you would expect, this event is the pre-eminent annual get-together of the crème de la crème of the international brotherhood of magicians, although it also includes a fair smattering of the sisterhood of that distinguished profession, including some notable witches attending under an exchange program with Transylvania.
