June 16th 2011 - Jay Scott Berry
We are pleased to announce that Jay Scott Berry will be lecturing for us on June 16th 2011.
For over 20 years, Jay's lectures and shows have been perennial favourites. He is counted among the world's finest performers and creators of magic. In fact, it is often said that his presentations are "as close to real magic as you will ever see". Never content with the status quo, Jay is constantly pushing the boundaries, both in technique and style. As such, he has been one of the pioneers and architects of the current state-of-the-art.

 Following on from our news about Proteus Theatre touring 'Houdini' 17th September through 31st October 2010, We've been updated with more dates in our area:
16th September - 23rd September - Central Studio, Queen Mary's College, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG21 3HF - www.centralstudio.co.uk
22nd October - Winchester Discovery Centre, Jewry Street, Winchester, SO23 8SB 01962 873603
23rd October - Pamber Heath Memorial Hall, Pamber Heath Road, Pamber Heath, Tadley, Hants. RG26 3TQ
The show lists Magic by Roy Davenport:
Houdini - Escapologist, magician, secret agent, lover, husband, devoted son, enemy of the establishment, Harry Houdini was all and none of these things. His life remains a mystery, and his greatest trick remains his ability to escape interpretation, until now....
Harry Houdini was an enigma in his own time, and the mysterious circumstances of his premature death have launched a thousand conspiracy theories ever since. The man who believed he could return from the dead spent the latter part of his career exposing fake mediums and those seeking to exploit the grief of others, despite his widow's constant attempts to contact him after his death using an intricate code...
Using Proteus' distinctive style of fusing physical performance, circus, magic and music Harry Houdini will be resurrected to tell his remarkable story of a truly self-made man and the myths that have made him a legend.

 At the Annual General Meeting last Thursday, the subject of joining The Magic Circle cropped up. Members may remember that in September 2008 an entertaining examination evening was held at our September meeting and four of our members were successful in gaining admittance, after approval by the Council of The Magic Circle.
If there are, amongst the welcome number of new faces at the Society any members interested in joining The Magic Circle I will be pleased to hear from them, either at a meeting or via Email
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
- I have all the details needed, including an introductory DVD and will be pleased to hear from you to discuss this very worthwhile step further.
Andrew Webb, our talented Society WebMaster is also actively engaged with the running and improvement of The Magic Circle's WebSite, having joined TMC following his successful audition for membership in 2008 and the Membership Secretary for TMC is Robert Cox, a former member of the Home Counties Magical Society back in the 1960's.
If there is sufficient response, it may well be possible arrange another examination evening. If you are already a member then you might be interested in obtaining your Associate Membership of The Inner Magic Circle, and our three members who just "missed the boat" in 2008 may think the time is ripe for a further attempt at this advancement of their status in TMC.
I look forward to hearing from you. |

 Peter McLanachan has a great list of Magic shows appearing at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year over at MagicConventionGuide
Edinburgh is becoming a bit of a magical city with The Edinburgh International Magic Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2010 that takes place this month August 6th through 20th 2010, which always has a good deal of magic in it. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme has a good chunk of magic in there. Actually, this year sees the most magic that I can remember in many years!
Of course you'll be aware that our own Ian Souch is appearing with his 'Reality Vaccine' show at the Basement Lounge of the The Newsroom pub at the top of Leith Street in Edinburgh. |
