Cape Town teens ready their wands and wits for the ultimate magical provincial showdown this September!

The battle lines have been drawn, their wands polished and their captivating magic acts perfected as Cape Town’s most charming teen magicians prepare to face off at the ultimate provincial magical showdown, the 2019 Western Cape Junior Magician Championships, at Bergvliet High School on Saturday 7 September 2019!

This annual battle of the wands is held by the prestigious College of Magic, Cape Town’s only magical arts organisation, and sees the Western Cape’s top magical teens face off in two categories: the intimate and bespoke art of Close-Up magic and the spectacular grandeur of Stage magic.

This year’s line-up of magical competitors include Alfred Baba, Liam Hewitson, Eneo Hollenbach, Luvo Mrolota, Sahil Samlal and Jenna Shorkend.

 Now in its 39th 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, a non-profit organisation and the only one of its kind in the world, is ecstatic to once again present this popular annual charming event:

 “The Western Cape Junior Magician Championships is the first opportunity for our students and contestants from around the province to get a taste of the real-life competitive spirit of professional magic and showmanship. I’ve had a sneak peek behind the wizard’s curtain to see what the contestants have prepared and I can guarantee the judges and spectators that they are in for several incredible treats. Join us this September and see the wonderful magical sports for yourselves!”, says David Gore, director and founder of the College of Magic.
