On February 11th the Sheffield Circle held their annual Close up competition!
Biggest one in recent memory, with 6 close up contestants and 5 parlour/stage.
The standard was very high!
I took part in the close up category, my first ever competition, and although I did not come away with a trophy this year, I walked away with something for me much more valuable, the experience!
What a wonderful night it was full of so much magic, talent and all round electrifying atmosphere! And privilege to be part of it!
Everyone single one of the contestants put their best foot forward and very well deserved winners and runner ups!
I’ll be back next year!
Congratulations to the winners for close up and for parlour! And runners up Alfie !
Such and wonderful club to be a part of with so many talented magicians I can call friends!
Well done guys!
And finally, I wanted to say a massive thank you to my family, friends and my partner for their love and support in the craft and art I love so much! Thank you all!
