Final Day of Fantastical Winter Family Fun at the College of Magic with Children's Magic Festival Today
Magic Festival will take place this July.
Cape Town's families have been escaping the blistering cold into a fantastical world of magic as the College of Magic once again has proudly presented its popular winter school holiday event, the 2017 Traditional Children's Magic Festival, which started earlier this week. The College of Magic's warm Victorian manor in Claremont provides the perfect venue for this unique journey into a world of fantasy where untold surprises and mysteries await in every room.
The enchanting four-day festival programme, which comes to a close today, sees more than 50 beguiling jugglers, clowns, mimes, escapologists, magicians, stilt walkers and more cast an entertaining spell on the young and the young at heart with magical workshops, thrilling magic shows and so much more. From amazing performances by special guest artists to hands-on interactive workshops where aspirant wizards can learn how to perform their own tricks and not-to-be-missed photo opportunities with our resident magical bunny, this affordable festival experience promises non-stop charming fun for the whole family.
Now in its thirty-seventh year of teaching the art of magic and its allied arts as well as vital life-skills to children and adults, the College of Magic is thrilled to be hosting this must-attend winter family experience. David Gore, the director of the College of Magic, comments:
The Children's Magic Festival has been a highlight on the magical calendar for both our performers and the public since 1994, attracting magic fanatics from all over Cape Town. This year, we're excited to once again welcome all of you and encourage you to dress up to the Festival theme - a World of Fantasy! Fairies, magicians, princesses and superheroes, we want to see you all at our incredible event this winter school holiday!
The 2017 Traditional Children's Magic Festival at the College of Magic, which is situated at 215 Imam Haron Road in Claremont, finishes today. The 90-minute show programme runs daily at 10:00, 11:00, 14:00 and 15:00. Tickets from R80, with discounts available for family bookings, can be booked through the College of Magic website.
