An Evening with the Magic Circle

 


Twice a month, normally on a Tuesday evening, the doors of The Magic Circle are opened to the public for a night of mystery and laughter. Few are lucky enough to enter the House of 10,000 Secrets.

Those attending firstly see performances of close-up magic where miracles are brought about right under their nose, and even sometimes in their own hands. Most onlookers have difficulty in believing their eyes as to what they see. Our expert magicians achieve their results using immaculate sleight-of-hand.

You will hear a short entertaining talk on the history of mystery, starting from 4,000 BC, but then bringing you right up to date with what's happening in the world of magic today. Most guests are fascinated to hear about the famous bullet catching trick which has caused the deaths of a number of magicians, and the exploits of Houdini.

Finally, you will see a stage show in our well-appointed purpose-built theatre. The show, performed by leading members of The Magic Circle, allows you to experience different styles of magic from the serious to the humorous. We promise you will be bamboozled and entertained.

There is also a chance to visit The Magic Circle Museum, as well as to see the many exhibits that are displayed around the building. Magic Hosts are on hand to answer any questions you may have about magic in general or the exhibits. The only question they won't answer is, "How is it done?"

Included in the price is a glass of sherry or soft drink on arrival, and a sandwich and coffee during the interval. A cash bar is also available.
