Martin Cox Auction - Watford Association of Magicians 5th December Andy Clockwise writes: On Tuesday 5th December, the Watford Association of Magicians will be holding an auction on behalf of the late, great Martin Cox at their HQ. Martin had been in the business a very long time, and over that time had collected a lot of Magic. Not everything that Martin purchased made it into his shows, for one reason or another, and many items are still brand new and sealed in their original packaging. As well as these items there will of course be pieces that Martin did perform with and this will be a great opportunity to pick up something personally used by Martin in a performance.
The auction will be held on Tuesday 5th December at the Henderson Hub, Abbotts Langley, Hertfordshire WD5 0AR with a large car park nearby. Doors will open at 7.30pm and the auction will start at 8pm prompt. This is an "open" evening at the WAM HQ and if you do come along, please bring cash as it will be a cash only auction. All items will start at £1 and there will be no reserve on any items so you're sure to grab yourself a bargain. All proceeds from the auction will go to Martin's family. |

Misdirection - A Full Day Workshop with Tom Stone - Nottingham 8th January Chris Wilder writes: Whilst you can read a lot about the art of "misdirection", learning how to apply it, and how to practice it, is an illusive subject. Presented by Swedish magician Tom Stone and in association with The Curious Cabaret, this workshop will not focus on the teaching of routines and methods, but rather give delegates the skills to greatly improve their existing performances through a careful study and application of theory through individual and group exercises. The workshop is therefore recommended only for professionals or magicians with a serious interest in elevating their work.
The day is ideal for parlour acts, but close-up and stage performers will also get a lot out of the day. There are only 20 places, with a limited number of early bird tickets available until the end of November. Includes breakfast pastries, refreshments and lunch. Monday 8th January, 9.45am to 5pm in Nottingham. For more info and to book Click Here. |
