Jay was presented with the trophy for winning the North Wales Magic Circle Close Up Competition at the NWMC annual dinner last weekend.

The presentation was made by the NWMC president David Baker, and the president of the British Ring of the International Brotherhood of Magicians Paul Ray.

As well as the awards ceremony, there was also a wonderful three course meal, followed by a cabaret show featuring amazing magic from Paul Ray, Destiny, and Graham Jolly.

The dinner is always a great chance to dress up and have a wonderful evening.

The name’s Bond, James Bond

We’ve been rather busy of late, so I’m a little behind with the blog posts. (If you’re wondering what it was that kept us so busy, visit the blog again later in the week, and there’ll be a post all about it.)

Today’s blog is a combination of two of our recent events, that share a common strand.

Firstly, back in June we performed at a James Bond themed evening for the Venue Cymru Fundraisers and the Llandudno Lions. It was a great chance for us to try something new, and we themed our magic using ideas and music from the James Bond films.

We almost also ended up with a stowaway, when Bernie tried to sneak into one of our bags when we weren’t looking. We managed to persuade him to stay at home, but he wasn’t very happy about it!

At the beginning of July we took part in the North Wales Magic Circle’s annual stage and cabaret competition.

Inspired by the themed show that we’d just done, we put together a new act specially for the competition. The ten minute act used music from the James Bond films as a backdrop to the magic.

It was wonderful to see so many people come along to Abergele and enjoying themselves, and there was plenty of great magic to watch.

The winner of the competition was David Baker, who spent an amazing 50 hours working on his routine!
