The
Wayne Dobson Show - Haslemere Hall, Surrey
24th June
From successes in Las Vegas, the Royal Variety Show and his own TV series,
magician Wayne Dobson returns to the stage with a magic show unlike any you’ve
seen before. Combining eye-boggling tricks and Wayne’s special brand of comedy,
The Wayne Dobson Show is not to be missed. At the height of his stardom which
included three hit TV series of ‘Wayne Dobson: A Kind of Magic’, attracting
audiences of 11 million, Wayne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As the
condition worsened and consigned Wayne to a wheelchair, he retired from public
performance believing audiences wouldn’t accept a disabled magician, paralysed
and with impaired speech.
Since then, Wayne has created hundreds of original magical effects for the
world’s leading magicians. The Magic Circle presented him with the Maskelyne
Award and The American Academy of Magical Arts their Award of Merit; the two
highest awards in magic. Feeling the urge to perform again, Wayne tried out a
couple of private shows and was overwhelmed with his audiences’ response. So
much so he has decided to do some more! 7.30pm on Friday 24th June at Haslemere
Hall, Bridge Road, Haslemere, Surrey GU27 2AS. See

The
Magic Circle History Day - London
10th September
Saturday 10th September
2022 at The Magic Circle Headquarters in London (the day before The
Magic Circle's inaugural One Day Convention on the 11th). The day will
feature notable speakers from the UK and abroad, a buffet lunch at
The Wesley Hotel
(next door), a sale of collectable books and an opportunity to mingle
with fellow historians and collectors.
The History Day organisers, Marco Pusterla (Editor of Ye Olde Magic
Mag, a magazine for magic historians and collectors) and Ian Keable
(professional magician, speaker, author of the recent The Century of
Deception) admit they have a hard act to follow. For the past 43
years, up to 2019, the event was run by Professor Edwin Dawes,
considered to be the foremost living magic historian, and Peter Lane,
the Head Librarian of The Magic Circle for many years.
"Our aim is to continue with the well-established format", said Ian, "of
booking top magic historians from all over the world. However, we also
want to encourage younger male and female participants to attend and
discover the fascination of many aspects of magic history. We will
therefore be drawing on an exciting pool of new speakers, including
those better known for magic performing than their academic work."
Venue: The Magic Circle, 12 Stephenson Way, Euston, London NW1 2HD.
9.30am to 6pm, Saturday 10th September 2022. Tickets: Non-members £49,
members £44, online via
www.tmcshop.squarespace.com/store. |

Inaugural Magic Circle One Day Convention - London
11th September
Featuring a star-studded International Gala Show, 'The Magic Emporium'
Global Dealers showcase, great socialising, and a host of outstanding
lectures! Marc Spelmann will be making his first appearance since his
runaway success on Britain’s Got Talent, and brilliant
magic-thinker Marc Oberon will be appearing... just two of the star names announced to
date, with many, many more to come!
Michael J Fitch writes: After a tough couple
of years for the industry, The Magic Circle is back with flair and what
better way to celebrate than by welcoming some of the best magic talent
from around the world. It's always been a struggle with space to do
something like this, but the recently refurbished Wesley Hotel next door
to our headquarters provided the perfect opportunity to extend the
dealers hall and, of course, provide the all important late night magic
sessions and after-party. Sure to be a sell-out, this event has strictly
limited places.
