Dynamo lends a helping hand
Magicians.co.uk is delighted to be supporting Poppy, a wonderful little girl who was born with a severely shortened right arm and no right hand. Poppy needs a flexible silicone false arm and hand (in fact she will need several prosthetic arms until she’s about 18 because like all children, she’s growing up…fast!) and our performers have stepped up to help!
On Thursday 12th April the general public will have the chance to visit The Magic Circle Headquarters, enjoy an evening of magical entertainment from the best in the business, and all for a great cause!
We are also pleased to confirm that Dynamo, Star of Dynamo: Magician Impossible, and Member of The Magic Circle will be the guest of honour at this special one-night-only fundraising event.
Tickets for this prestigious event are available at the Team Poppy website but if you want to attend this prestigious and have the chance to meet Dynamo, hurry as tickets are almost sold out!

Big Magic On the London Stage!
For the first time ever, Hans Klok, the Master of Mystery, arrives at the Peacock Theatre, London for a five week limited season. Described as a ‘chilling, thrilling and breathtakingly amazing show’, Hans Klok, his Divas of Magic and a company of world-class variety and circus acts perform illusions, daredevil stunts and wizardry unlike anything ever seen before.
Award winning mind-reader Chris Cox caught up with Hans to talk about the show;
“I’ve done Holland, Germany, Vegas and thought why not England? The Olympics are here this year, there is a rich history of magic in England, London used to have a magic theatre and is now once again ready for a big magic show. I really believe in the show, I played it for five weeks in a 2200 seat theatre in Holland and sold out every night. That’s the whole reason we are here, it’s a strong show. It is spectacular, there are dancers, four world class variety acts, it’s the same amount of people in the cast and crew as you might see in a West End Musical. There is a lot to see, it’s an experience for everybody, for the whole family.”

You won’t believe this magic…
Trade shows can be a little dull sometimes and visitors always tell us how much they love seeing our magicians perform. Here is a great presentation from our friend from Munich, performing across the pond:
Magicians.co.uk provides magic acts like this at exhibitions but what we think is even more exciting is that our Exhibition Magicians will combine their act with your corporate message and product, so that guests don’t just remember the magician!
