Presented by John Field.

You will hear tales of the earliest known magician, the world’s oldest trick, the first book on magic and why it was written, common fairground scams and how to avoid them, sketch portraits of two famous magicians and the current magic scene. You will be whisked back to your childhood to see children’s magic, experience a small part of John’s sensational mind reading act and witness a demonstration of close-up magic under test conditions.
