Forth Valley Magic Circle

Congratulations to this years Forth Valley Club Competition winner Jody Greig!

Jody who has only been a member of the club for 3 months took the top honour with a dazzling display of dexterity. Using a wide range of magic including cards, coins and Fire! Here Jody is being congratulated by Kenny Hurren who was the compere for the night. We look forward to presenting Jody with the Cup at the next club meeting.

 Second place went to Graham Keane, with his partial silent routine similar to what many a street performer would like to have in their repertoire! Third place was shared by Archie Smith and Tommy Baxter.

Chris Dinwoodie aka, ‘Woody the magician’ will be presenting his first ever lecture on Entertaining Magic at Paisley Magic Circle on Thursday, 20th January, at St Ninians Church, 5 Baldwin Avenue, Glasgow, Lanarkshire G13 2EE at 7.30pm.

At the lecture,  E=MC^{2 ,} he’ll be releasing his brand new ebook  “Pause 4 Applause“. Plus, he has 2/3 products in the pipeline (which shall remain secret for now as he says; ‘I don’t know if they’ll be any good!’)

As Woodie says; ‘ ‘The main body of the lecture will cover Engaging Entertaining magic.  I say the main thing because I haven’t actually created the lecture yet! It will be a dangerous lecture as I’ll be talking about magic theory, with other possible subjects including psychology and business’.

I look forward to meeting you all there

All my best
