Default Across the pond...

I've noticed some posts (and clown chat) recently about a lack of resources for clowns & magicians outside of the United States.

I have some links for conventions, dealers, etc (posted below) that I hope will help. More on magic than clowning I'm afraid, but some cross-over. Here they are.....

Blackpool Magician's Club hosts the largest magic convention in the world. They'll have 100+ magic dealers... February 22, 23, & 24 at the Winter Gardens Complex, Blackpool, Lancashire, England.

World Magic Shop. I've never ordered from this company personally, but they seem to have an extensive website. It also advertises on a magician's forum that I frequent.

Prudhoe Magic

The Magic Attic

The Ipswich Magical Society

Card-Shark

International Brotherhood of Magicians

Mr Doo, Clown & Juggler

Circus Workshop

Solo Circus

Silly Jokes

Talk Magic is a U.K. based forum - alot of info here,

Tried to log on to Talk Magic and received a notice that I was banned, never been there before. Do you have to be a member to log on?

Could be something where they've just made a braod service provider ban or something, and you're unfortunate enough to share that particular isp.

Assuming you couldn't even load the forums and went right to a you're banned screen?

No idea

There are probably better options for purchases here in the states though...

Penguin, Hank Lee, LaRocks, Bubba Sikes, Fitzwilly has a sale going on right now - and can probably help you out as well.
