Tyler Wilson has a wonderful, creative mind. His work with cards is top notch. - Joshua Jay When I read Dingle's Deceptions I thought, 'My God.' When I read The Magic of Paul Harris, I thought, 'Thank God.' When I read Dominatricks I thought, 'Finally: the next leap forward.' I've waited a long time. I'm very happy that I didn't die before this came along. - Steve Mayhew Part magical innovator, part North American sasquatch, Tyler Wilson is primed and ready to hold the magic world upside down by its ankles and shake it into submission. Only then will he return to the forest. - David Acer Non members are welcome at this lecture, a £8.00 charge will apply to any non members attending.

To date, a small sampling of his material has appeared in both MAGIC and Genii. We are very lucky to have Tyler lecture for us this month, and if you are in any doubt about what tonight brings:
Ian Keable has been a full time magician since 1990, working principally in Comedy Clubs and at Corporate events. His lecture, Cabaret Magic, concentrates on the theory and practise of what he does for a living: performing Cabaret for adult audiences.
