Traditional Children's Magic Festival Begins in Cape Town This Month

This winter school holiday, families are invited to experience endless childlike wonder with their little ones at the 2016 Traditional Children's Magic Festival in Cape Town. The festival offers non-stop, thrilling indoor fun as the College of Magic, the Mother City's only magical arts organisation, once again hosts a four-day programme of unbelievable magic shows by more than 50 of the city's top magicians, jugglers, clowns, escapologists and more.

From the must-visit magical Photo Booth for a memorable family photo session and hands-on magical training workshops to exhilarating game stations and amazing performances by special guest artists, this year's Festival is not to be missed. Tickets to this affordable family experience include an enchanting walkabout through the College's century-old building, with numerous surprises waiting behind secret doors, a meet-and-greet session with our resident magical bunny, a surprise-filled goodie bag for each visitor and so much more.

Celebrating 36 years of teaching the art of magic and its allied arts as well as vital life skills to children and adults in 2016, the College of Magic cannot wait to welcome mini-magic fanatics and their loved ones to its mysterious Victorian manor in Claremont. David Gore, director of the College of Magic, says:

Each year we see hundreds of Cape Town's families flock to the Festival, eager to be entertained and captivated by our large troupe of amazing performers. The 2016 event is bigger, better and even more magical than ever before so escape the blistering cold and join us for this heart-warming, must-attend family event.

The 2016 Traditional Children's Magic Festival will be held at the College of Magic (215 Imam Haron Road, Claremont) with the two-hour show programme running daily at 10:30 and 14:30 from 29 June - 2 July. Tickets to experience the wonder of magic cost R80 and include a free goody bag. Booking can be done through the College of Magic website.
