Photo Flash: World-Renowned College Of Magic Welcomes Record Number Of New Students
The world-renowned College of Magic, Cape Town's only magical arts organisation, welcomed a record number of 64 new students to its introductory Course One and Course Magic and Showmanship classes at its incredible Victorian manor base on Saturday 3 February 2018!
Bright-eyed youngsters from all over the Mother City, keen to start their enchanting magical education, were treated to a special assembly with David Gore, the College of Magic's founder and director, and a whirlwind tour of the organisation's mysterious building which is home to Africa's largest magical museum, the continent's premier magic shop and the wondrous Imagination Centre where the College's popular festivals and events are held.
With the strike of the College of Magic's enchanting gong to signal the start of lessons, it was time for the new recruits' very first magic lesson. In their inaugural peek behind the wizard's curtain, the new students learnt an introductory magical effect, received their first wands and joined in a recital of the Magician's Code - a promise to never 'spoil the wonder' by revealing the secrets of magic to the public.
In 2018, the College of Magic, the only organisation of its kind in the world, celebrates 38 years of teaching the theatrical performing art of magic and its allied arts as well as vital life-skills to children.The organisation is thrilled with the fantastic sign-up for the first day of lessons:
"It's been incredible to see how eager Cape Town's youngsters are to learn the art of magic! In nearly 40 years, this is one of the largest intakes we've been privileged to have and we are excited to lead our new students on this educational journey of wonder!", says Gore.
Registration for the second intake of Course One for the year will open in July 2018. For more information about the College of Magic, please visit www.collegeofmagic.com or call +27(0)21 683 5480.
