I am proud to announce that I have become a full member of the Leicester Magic Circle. After holding apprenticeship membership for the past two years and attending lectures, I successfully passed my audition/interview first time during the summer.

This week I was sworn into the club, and I was presented with my certificate and pin. I am so pleased to have been accepted into this historic club that is now 101 years old. To be listed as a member of the club is an honour.

I would also like to thank the members for the opportunity to be sworn in with a great presentation in front of the club’s committee members. It was also lovely to meet some of the other new members also joining. An exciting experience and I am happy to be part of this club.

The club has many benefits including friendships with like minded people with shared interest, mentoring, help and guidance, socials, lectures, online comms and of course use of the club logo as a member.

Incidentally, if you wish to follow the club, please follow their new Facebook page. If you are following the old page, please unfollow and follow this new link. The previous page was hacked and includes a new post about the latest members.

Easter Eggs

“The second season is nearly done, and somehow I’ve only just discovered this show. I’m about to start the series one finale and honestly, what a great watch it’s been. It feels like 24 meets Lost, with plenty of twists and surprises along the way. I’m hoping it just keeps getting better.“
