Award Winning Magician

Magic Mitch (The Merlin of Margate) recently received a Wizard Award from the International Brotherhood of Magicians.  We’re not sure if this was for his superior magic, his balloon modelling excellence or just that he has been a member of the IBM for a very long time, but whatever it was, well done Mitch!!!

As Seen on T.V.

On December 23rd Colin had the chance to do a magic show and make balloons as part of a party for children at the Q.E.Q.M Hospital in Margate.  The children were either going to be in hospital over Christmas or had spent a long period of time in hospital over the last year.  There was also face painting, a disco, food and a visit from Father Christmas.

It was a great afteroon and all the staff at the hospital worked really hard to organise it.  As an added bonus a film crew from Meridian Tonight turned up to film it for the evening news and Colin had a brief appearance in the report.

Another Successful Show

On Saturday 1st of November The Southern Sorcerers held another of their occasional Magic and Variety shows.  This time it was at the Birchington Village Centre.

Most of the members took part in the show and everyone had great time. Unfortunately Mitch couldn’t be there due to work commitments. Guest acts included juggler Michael Pearce, singer Rob Mutley, dancing from The Page-Mason Dancers and winner of the International Brotherhood of Magicians “Stage Magician of the Year” Jonathon Shotton.

We raised over £500 during the evening which will be donated to BBC Children in Need.  Click here to see photos from the show.

Thank you to everyone who supported the show and well done to those who took part.
