Round Table Discussions

This is where the real meat of the conference was discussed and dissected. Each Round Table was lead by a world expert. In some cases, all participants at the table completed a "Magic Exercise" which asked them to imagine a piece of magic happened, describe then the state before, and the state after, and if possible the bit of magic required to make it happen. There is a lot of good detail and thought captured as a result.
