Magic History
This weekends visit at the Magic Circles sixth Magic History Gathering, was a magical day. Throughout the event, there were a number of lectures by seasoned magicians, each divulging their appreciation of the history of magic. Everyone shared their passion upon their subjects, whilst some also performed magic. Paul Kieves excellent talk on Servais Le Roy, culminated in the introduction to the audience of the extended family of Le Roy, who were in attendance.
The day wrapped up with a magic book sale, whereby some free historical magic programmes were handed out. Coincidentally, I met with a seasoned magician who appeared on that same programme, Mike O’Brien. We got talking magic and magic books and also about the prospect of me joining the magic circle.

Another visit to the magic museum in the basement, always reveals something new upon each visit. It’s a splendour to peruse the magical artefacts old and new, and I hope one day I will also be able to visit the Magic Circle library.
It turned out to be a very informative and entertaining day, and I look forward to future gatherings on the history of magic.
