Middlesbrough Magic Circle Lecture

The 'Wayne Mattox' Lecture (Tales from the Workshop)
Monday 13th July 2015 saw 'Wayne Mattox' visit the Middlesbrough Circle with his 'Tales from the Workshop' lecture.
This was a 1st class demonstration of some beautifully crafted pieces of wooden and metal magic props all made by hand.
The thinking behind the effects was ingenius and left members astounded !
The 1st half included an automated silk through mirror, a magical appearance in an all square cube, zig-zag card box, topsy-turvy chairs,
6 in line (a nest of boxes reveal of 6 coloured golf balls), a double wris
t chopper and a card vanish box used for an effect called the gypsy's curse.
The 2nd half included a floating table, solid brass block penetration, bird through mirror into a birdcage in a sealed box, spooky arrow prediction effect,
Nail through Dracula effect and a card effect called Tommy Cooper featuring glasses and bottles.
This was without doubt one of the most interesting nights entertainment that we have seen at MCM in years ! Astonishing !
Wayne was extremely friendly and happy to answer 'most' questions and let us examine the props during breaks. A great night was had by all.
