After our recent run of sell out shows this Christmas, our President Megan Swann surprised some members of our cast.

First was Nikola Arkane, who has been promoted to Associate of the Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star for Performance. 🌟

Secondly was Danny Buckler, who has been promoted to Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star for performance. 🌟 This is the highest membership degree in the society, capped at just 300 members worldwide and is only elected by the President.

Congratulations Nikola and Danny, and thank you! 🪄

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Psycho is one of the greatest thrillers of all time, but a founding father of The Magic circle coined the phrase many years before Alfred Hitchcock did.

In 1875, Maskelyne, often referred to as The Chief, caused a sensation in London's West End when he premiered PSYCHO, a thrilling automaton who could play and win at a game of cards.

Hoping you get lots of 'tricks' and treats this Halloween! 👻

Every year, The Magic Circle honours those who have made significant contributions to advancing the art of magic internationally.

Previous award winners include some of the biggest names in magic: David Copperfield, Hans Klok and Siegfried & Roy.

We are proud to announce the 2022 recipients of The Magic Circle's David Devant Award for services to international magic are the Ehrlich Brothers!

German illusionists Chris and Andreas Ehrlich have been performing their huge shows across Europe, bringing magic to thousands and winning numerous awards along the way. They are the only magicians worldwide to have sold out a 40,000 capacity football stadium, earning them two world records, and now one of The Magic Circle’s highest honours.

Watch the moment President of The Magic Circle, Megan Swann surprised them during their performance at London's Wembley Arena in front of 7000 people.
