Forces Night

Young and Strange, John Lenahan, Noel Britton, Jamie Raven, Marvin Berglas, Johnathan Goodwin, Richard Jones and Fay Presto have all been on our desert Island.

I wonder who it will be tonight?

Prop Swop

We will make random pairings of everyone in the room. Given a few minutes to explain the mechanics, techniques, routine and performance. 

Then we show our new found skills (or not) to the whole group.

Magic Flix

Prior to the evening, members are requested to submit a favourite YouTube clip, lasting approximately 5 minutes.

On the night, each in turn will be asked to explain why they have chosen the clip before we show it to the group.

Fool Us

We are looking for short routines roughly 5-8 minutes long. With the hope of fooling our very own Penn & Teller. Mark Shortland & Mark Chudley.

With Graham as the compare and Mick is our adjudicator. In advance of the night, Mick will discuss your trick, knowing the secrets within. He can then make a judgement as to whether you fooled them. His word is final!!!.
