Alex
McAleer: Mind Reader - UK Tour
May
Dates
From the promoter: Alex
McAleer isn’t psychic or supernatural, but he has an uncanny ability to
apparently tap into his audience’s minds and read their thoughts at
will. After more than a decade wowing audiences across the UK and North
America — including touring the USA with Champions of Magic, sold-out
solo shows, West End appearances, and TV spots on Blue Peter and Good
Morning Britain — he has built a reputation as one of the most
entertaining and charismatic mentalists working today.
In this unforgettable live show, Alex blends
laugh-out-loud humour with jaw-dropping psychological feats, turning the
audience into the stars of the evening. Smart, playful, and astonishing
— don’t miss your chance to see Alex McAleer live.
“Mind-blowing” Broadway World
“McAleer has made a career of those you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me
moments” Boston Globe
“A master of the mind… cheeky and witty, working the crowd like a
conductor” ★★★★ The West Australian

in Manchester on Tuesday 9th June for what promises to be a highly engaging and
informative lecture, entitled 'The Best Secrets I’ve Learned in Almost 50 Years
of Magic & Mentalism'.

strong methods to create the impression of genuine mind reading. Second, he
explores the world of corporate speaking and training, offering insight into how
magicians can successfully enter this rewarding and often overlooked area of

Jeff
Salmon's Sleight of Mind - Upstairs at the Gatehouse, London
June Dates
From the organisers: Sleight of Mind is a mind-boggling journey into the power and possibilities of
the human mind; a tantalising puzzle that will leave you amazed and baffled.
Using psychological techniques, a fast-as-light-eye and a razor-sharp wit, Jeff
Salmon engages his audience with a series of mesmerising and utterly mystifying
mind games. With a mixture of applied psychology, misdirection and showmanship,
this is one man who can seemingly predict and control human behaviour. Whatever
you're about to think, he'll have not only thought it first but written it down
before the words have entered your brain let alone past your lips.
However you choose to categorise it, Sleight of Mind will amaze and unsettle
you. You won't understand how he does it, but one thing's for sure, you'll enjoy
this fast-moving and fascinating rollercoaster of a ride which explores the
human psyche. This live show does not have the luxury of television camera
trickery or sneaky editing. Simply put, what you see is what you get, and you'll
leave the show totally convinced that Jeff Salmon has just achieved the
impossible.
All profits of this production will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital
and other selected charities. 8th - 22nd June at
Upstairs at the Gatehouse, 1 North Road, Highgate Village, London N6
4BD. Book here:

LADs 2026 The Northamptonshire Magicians' Club Centenary Convention

From the organisers:
An incredible Magic convention featuring international lecturers and world-class
dealers travelling from all over the world to inspire magicians in

It’s happening. LADs is back — for one final time.
After eight years of sold-out events and unforgettable lectures, LADs (Lectures
and Dealers) returns in 2026 — and this time, it’s going to be something truly
special.
Organised once again by David Penn, Patron of the Northamptonshire Magicians
Club, LADs became the biggest one-day magic convention in the UK — attracting
over 300 delegates every year. But for the past few years, magicians have kept
asking the same thing: "Can we do it one more time?"
Well, now we are.
To celebrate the roots of it all — and the club where it all began — members of
the Northamptonshire Magicians Club have spent the last five years raising funds
to bring back LADs for one final event, marking the club’s upcoming centenary.
Let's celebrate 100 years of magic together!
Expect a full day of international lectures, inspiring power talks (presented in
a TED-style format), a dedicated lecture environment, and a completely separate
dealers’ area featuring the best names in magic retail.
Tickets go on sale on the 22nd of April. If you click "Buy Tickets" you
will not be able to complete your purchase until the 22nd of April at 10am.
Only 200 tickets will be available due to venue capacity.
70+ NMC members already expected to attend.
This will sell out — book early to avoid disappointment. Put the date in your
diary now! 10am - 8pm on
Sunday 27th September at
