Events at the Wolverhampton Circle of Magicians

Adam has been performing magic for the last 16 years, initially as a close-up card magician before venturing into the world of mental magic and mentalism. Over the last few years, Adam has begun to share his work with the magic community, notably his projects with The1914 and Mindhaus were particularly well received. During 'Mentalism Applied', Adam will share a handful of workable, practical mentalism effects that come straight from his working repertoire (don't worry it's not just playing cards!). Although Adam is well known for performing in close-up environments, during this lecture he will share real world lessons and thoughts on making mentalism play bigger.

For the members who attended the club night on the 25th September, they all took away a copy of Linking Rings magazine, to learn an effect out of it to perform tonight. Good Luck all and looking forward to seeing what you've all learned.

In 2024 underground creator Kaleb Wade is lecturing on his marketed effects and previously unreleased stage and close-up effects from his upcoming mentalism book Blessed by Demons. In this lecture, Kaleb shares his unique approach to performing hard-hitting, entertaining mentalism that works in the real world.
