West End Magic Real-life Hogwarts magic school reunites for West End show. Graduates from a real-life Hogwarts magic school are getting together to put on a show in London’s West End. The magical alumni will be performing at the New Player’s Theatre on Saturday 6th February 2010. They are all former members of the Demon Club, an academy for junior magicians, much like the school for wizardry and witchcraft found in the Harry Potter novels. They used to meet in Davenports, one of the world’s oldest magic shops, hidden away in Charing Cross Underground. Amateur magicians aged 8-18 would attend lectures and read books to learn the mystical art. Past members include TV star Steven Mulhern, recent Royal Variety performer Paul Zerdin, Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Phil Blackmore and many award-winning magicians. The show has everything from large-scale illusions to close-up magic performed right in front of your eyes, and is suitable for all ages. Former Demon Club member Oliver Tabor said: “One of the club’s traditions was that we would put on a show every year, but now that many of us are professional magicians working around the country, we rarely get together. It’s very exciting to be performing with the gang again and it’s a unique chance for audiences to see a wide variety of magical styles, such as dove magic, mind reading, card manipulation and there will also be some death-defying extreme juggling.” Tickets for 'West End Magic' cost £15 for adults and £12.50 for children and can be bought from the theatre box office: 020 7478 0135 or Ticketmaster: 08444 771 000.

The featured instructors are: John Archer, Mel Mellers, Logan Murray, Jasper Blakeley, Matthew Wright and Mark Elsdon, who is hosting the day. Manchester (Saturday May 15th).
