Mind Reader and Psychological Magician Looch has become one of the most sought-after acts in the UK. His unique skills combined, with his humour and professionalism have seen him booked for a vast array of events, including weddings, parties and corporate events. He has also made a name for himself as an originator of exciting new ideas in mentalism.
We are pleased to say that Looch will be lecturing here at the Lounge on Thursday 1 August. Admission is £10, but free to paid-up members of the Sheffield Circle of Magicians. Doors open at 7.07 p.m., and the event starts at 7.30 at The Magick Lounge, 82 Broad Street, Sheffield S2 5TG. Don’t miss it.
5000 Sheffield Street Magic Festival leaflets arrived this afternoon and are being distributed around the Tramlines Festival venues. Another 5000 are being delivered on Monday. We’ll have supplies here at The Magick Lounge if you’d like to help by distributing some!
Preparations for the Sheffield Street Magic Festival on 31 August continue. 5000 flyers are due to be delivered later today (Friday). And here’s our promotional video. Be sure to spread the word!
Many thanks to our magical performers: Mike Baker, Adam Bell, Craig’s Magic, Roger Curzon, Steve Faulkner, Tom Hudson (AfroMagic), Tim Smithies, Damian Surr (Gingermagic), and the people of Sheffield.
Many of my readers (if the plural isn’t overly optimistic) will have seen the buzz on FaceBook over the past couple of weeks relating to the forthcoming Sheffield Festival of Street Magic.
The date is Saturday 31 August from 1.00 to 7.00 p.m. Street performances, with a stage finale, will be happening in various places around the centre of Sheffield. Actual times and venues (streets, squares…) will be announced shortly.
I had further talks this morning with Sheffield Council about venues, timings, ‘green room’, etc. Lots of organisation to do; more details to follow. I am currently compiling a list of those who wish to take part (a few stewards would be handy, as well as performers). Email me and I’ll make sure you’re on the list.
There will be a point with facilities for displaying performers’ publicity information, passing out business cards, etc. So if you’re taking part make sure you have some material available.
Again, if you’re interested in getting involved, or have ideas, please get in touch (see the About Magick page of this blog). Let’s do this, and make it a big annual event!
As soon as I have a few more concrete details I’ll post them here and on the FaceBook events page.
Many thanks to Ian Baker, ace cartoonist and magician, for the great illustration (above) which we’ll be using on publicity material. Look out for it!
