Can't quite believe it has been almost a week already since The Harrogate Society of Magicians Presents: The Full Box Set 2026... and what a night it was!

Massive thanks to everyone who supported us to make the evening a success (especially the Pannal Village Hall committee members who helped out on the night) and to our incredible audience that came out on a Saturday night to see our brand new magic show.

Also a huge congratulations to all our performers, Gary Potter Magician, Rob Hutchinson Magic, Jan Vander Black and Graham Dowling , who delivered some amazing mind-blowing magic, captivating storytelling, incredible illusions and some hilarious comedy moments!

And the best part of all, we managed to raise over £400, which will be split between the HSM and the Pannal Village Hall. Again, we are so very thankful for everyone's support and we can't wait to show you what else we have in store for 2027, for our 80th birthday celebrations (watch this space...!).

See you all again soon!

We have been blown away by all the positive feedback from our premiere of The Full Box Set last night. We are especially proud to have received the following review from none other than , who was in the audience:

"We were promised An Evening of Magic, Mysteries and Mirth. And boy! They didn’t disappoint! A really good attendance and the atmosphere was fantastic, even before the show started.

The first act to open the evening was Gary Craswell. A really entertaining and funny start to his set was followed by a book test. He really fooled us because everybody in the room thought they knew how it was done and then the rug was pulled from under us! He closed his act with an amazing piece of card magic; absolutely amazing!

Next to perform was Rob Hutchinson. He opened with an extremely funny routine using of all things a banana! This effect was Pam‘s favourite piece of the evening, and I have to agree it was extremely funny. It was followed by a routine using a spoon, and again a climax that nobody in the room expected as you could actually hear the gasps of amazement.

After a short break, the second half was opened by Jan Van Der Black. He certainly looked the part as he walked out looking quite Victorian with Top hat to Boot. We were then treated to 20 minutes or so of bizarre Magic. With tales of supernatural happenings and a story that had everyone in the room hanging on his every word. For me, this was my favourite part of the evening and I would love to see more of him performing.

To conclude the individual performances next up was Graham Dowling. He presented a series of impossible puzzles, each one more impossible and more magical than the last. I especially liked the puzzle pieces and the frame. It looked so impossible. I have absolutely no idea how he could have done it..

He closed his act with a brilliant piece of Card Magic involving a connection between two spectators. The use of a plasma ball in his presentation was a stroke of genius!

To close the whole evening all four performers entered the stage and we were all treated to one final piece of Magic. One lucky young man who was chosen to help walked away extremely happy with the gift that he won.

To sum up it was such a well thought out and designed show. Even going down to such details as having the close-up Magic projected onto a big screen, so even the people at the very back could see everything that was going on.

We are definitely looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much to all who were involved."
