York Magic Circle

20/04/2026

Just a reminder that our next meeting is two weeks today, Monday 4th May and is a club night with impromptu magic as the theme.

It is a chance to show us your EDC, something you carry in your wallet, purse or pocket regularly, a piece of mentalism you can do at the drop of a hat or something that you do when someone says "I hear your do magic, can you show me a trick".

It can even be something that you can do on the hop with a borrowed deck of cards, coins, a ring etc.

Please can I also remind anyone who has not yet paid their subs to bring the money to the next meeting. If you can't come on the 4th May please feel free to send your subs by PayPal to [email protected] (friends and family please)

Great meeting last night. After our AGM it was tricks with a paper theme. Cue several different types of book test, and bits of paper being cut and torn.
A fun night.

On Monday we had a great lecture by Hull's Russ Appleby. The first half had some nice close-up tricks with a great card under box routine with some nice moves. The second half was what he is known for... pickpocketing!

With videos of him in action and a guide to stealing it gave us the know how how to steal... Now the practice!

Oh and of course tickets for Hullusion on the 11th October are on sale!

Last Monday, we were treated to Matthew Wright's new lecture. It wasn't just about the trick, but also the theory on the hook that gets people interested in the trick, and gives it reason.
From mystic coin and tricks to clever card restoration, it was a great night.
If you see him in Blackpool, make sure to have a look at his newly released tricks!

Last-minute change. Due to some wires crossed, we Have Matthew Wright lecturing tonight. Russ Appleby will be next month!

Sorry if you were planning to come to see Russ tonight, but it will still be amazing!
