Performers

Your hosts for the evening are Andrew Stannard and David Fung. They are local magicians, members of The Magic Circle, and both dedicated to sharing the wonderful world of magic with the community.

They are joined by friends from the local magical community, all helping to share the magic and excitement. We'll all ensure you feel welcome, and enjoy a unique evening of magic and community.

Detective Andrew Stannard

Bringing a brand new act for its debut performance, Detective Stannard will guide you through a Magical Murder Mystery Experience. Will you play the role of a member of the jury? Will you end up as a prime suspect? Or will YOU be found to be the killer?

David Fung

A lifelong student and performer of the art of magic, David brings a collection of polished routines and showmanship to his performances, whether in up-close magic or on the stage. Having performed at a wide range of occasions from corporate events to children’s parties and everything in between, you're sure to be thoroughly entertained when David enters the room.

Venue

Middle Street Resource Centre is a mental health focused community centre based in Beeston which offers a variety of mental health support groups, therapeutic one to one support, and volunteering opportunities to promote mental health wellbeing.

At the heart of the centre is a community café which provides a welcoming space for all.

We're so pleased to be able to use this space to bring this event to life, to share magic here and connect the community. The energy and community spirit felt in the building is inspiring and we are sure you will feel this too. The welcoming atmosphere perfectly complements the magic and camaraderie of the event.

The Magical Experience

Our evening of magic will begin in the bright and open cafe which will act as our foyer and welcome space. The cafe will be open to purchase hot and soft drinks, and you'll be entertained with close-up experiences of magic and mystery.

The stewards will then bring you through, just before 7pm, to the main room to enjoy the magical platform show.

Visit the MSRC website for all the information on getting to the venue, public transport, and parking.

Background and Values

Like many ideas, this project was born from an impromptu conversation, leading to the equally impromptu commitment to "put on a show"! Initially with the intention to help build and share our work, this quickly evolved:

to provide a platform for magicians to perform,
to share magic with local communities,
to connect local communities, and
to benefit local communities.

Through the project, we are engaging and connecting with three local communities - local residents (who we hope would like to see some good magic!), the Middle Street Resource Centre community, and the community of local magicians.

Through these connections, we are exploring new and improved ways to collaborate across communities and constantly listening to evolve and grow together. As a result, we hope to reach new audiences, forge new connections, discover new ways of working together, and platform local performers and organisations.

Supporters

Thank you!

Middle Street Magic would not be possible without the support of many friends leading up to and during the event - including you as guests and participants in the evening of magic. The following three organisations have also provided significant contribution to make it happen:

Middle Street Resource Centre: A mental health-focused community centre based in Beeston which offers a variety of mental health support groups, therapeutic one to one support, and volunteering opportunities to promote mental health wellbeing. The support from MSRC in holding the event in their space cannot be understated, and we are very happy to be able to support and platform the centre by doing so.
The Curious Cabaret: Hosts live magic events, showcasing the best talent from around the world. Their technical and production advice and resources are invaluable and hugely appreciated.
