Thank you to everyone who came to our recent Magic Evening at the hall. Our grateful thanks to The Mid Essex Magical Society who provided a fantastic evening of entertainment and we have had some great feedback from those who attended. The evening started with several sessions of close-up magic by seven different magicians and the second part was magic with participation of the audience on the stage by a couple of individual magicians.
