Club Meeting - 7th March - Annual Stage Magic Competition
Our next meeting is the hotly contested annual stage magic competition. Up for grabs are the two trophies – the Don Simpson cup for the juniors; and the Bill Charlesworth Memorial trophy for the seniors.
As always, please let one of the committee know in advance of the evening if you wish to enter either competition as it helps us to plan the evening. We already have enough competitors to ensure that both contests will run, but there’s always room for more, so don’t be shy, come and show the audience what you can do.
The rules are fairly straightforward. You need to have an act of between 8 and 12 minutes in length which will be judged by three independent judges – usually 2 lay judges and one magical judge. Each act will score a maximum of 50 points from each judge: 10 for appearance, 10 for magical content, 10 for presentation and 20 for entertainment value. The trophies will of course go to the two acts with the highest score in each category.
But if you’re not appearing this year, come along anyway and watch as part of the audience. Feel free to bring friends and family along too, as a good audience always helps the performers give of their best!
