The Cornish Magical Society entertain Mylor Yacht Club “At Home”
Saturday 19th October 2013

On Saturday October 19 members of the Cornish Magical Society visited Mylor
Yacht Club and provided a full evening of Magic and Mystery for the 50 Yacht
Club Members fortunate enough to have bought tickets. With the doors opening at
19:00 the magic started at 19:30.
During the first hour of the evening the magic included cards, rope, rings,
coins sponge balls and even lottery tickets as the 5 magicians spent 10 minutes
at each table in turn. For many of the club members this was their first
experience of close up magic and the appreciative comments, applause, laughter
and often loud cheering showed just how much they were enjoying it.
Following a light meal, the audience moved from their tables to the stage area
where they were treated to 45 minutes of cabaret magic by Paul Scott – immediate
past president of the Cornish Magical Society. Adding his own touch to such
classics of magic as the Professor’s Nightmare, the Chinese Linking Rings and
the torn and restored cigarette paper, Paul’s presentational skills and humour
shone through as he kept the audience fully engaged and indeed totally
spellbound.
One of the highlights was his levitation of a member of the audience who didn’t
quite believe what had happened to her on stage! Mylor Yacht Club members were
all agreed that it had been a superb evening with many asking when it would be
happening again.
The Cornish Magical Society is happy to arrange such evenings for other groups
in the area. They are also looking to recruit both amateur and professional
magicians living in Cornwall as new members. If you would like to know more
about the Cornish Magical Society and its activities please contact their
Secretary Paul Scott on 07747 122659.
