Herbert does it again... Mike Ingham writes: Terry Herbert was on top form
at the Kent Magicians Guild Close-up and Stage competition, held last Tuesday.
Terry entered and won the Close-up section with a lovely card trick and a very
funny Chop Cup Routine. As always he stormed it! The Stage Competition was won
again by Nigel Roberts with a very strong rope routine, followed by a hilarious
