Harold Cataquet

Harold Cataquet in action.

Many thanks to members and a record number of guests who turned out to sample Harold's 'Clever Devil' brand of magic. Not only are Harold's magic routines interactive but also his lecture. The audience can choose their preferred content during the evening. The A-Team, Black Jack, Ropes and Rings and Die Stacking were amongst the effects featured and delivered with New York charm. The lecture was filmed by Stephen Abblet for future production. Many thanks to Harold for coming to give us a great evening. All the more impressive as Harold was still taking pain killers for recently sustained foot injuries.

Andrew Normansell

Andrew Normansell made a welcome return to the Mahatma in front of a packed and attentive audience. Andrew's polished delivery and clever invention ensured that everyone enjoyed the evening. Andrew is a prolific source of strong commercial magical and mental effects which play big and have plenty of audience participation. His attention to detail with routining,  presentation and misleading subtle convincers is a lesson to all and everyone gained useful insights no matter their level of experience.

Andrew's effects made a considerable impact and he patiently answered questions throughout the lecture, taking great pains to ensure everyone had grasped the important principles and performance points. Thank you, Andrew, for an excellent evening in the company of such a fertile magical mind and relaxed performer.
