MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC-
SOUTH AFRICA
"Monday Night Magic" Season 4 launches on 5 June
2017 and runs until 31 July 2017, in its original home,
The Cape Town Club in Queen Victoria Street. Two
shows every Monday will feature an eclectic and magi-
cal mix of performance artists entertaining audiences
in an intimate 50-seater basement theatre accessed
via a secret entrance, which adds to the aura of mys-
tery. In keeping with the history of the magnificent
building, guests will be greeted by gorgeous Black
Orchid Burlesque flapper girls who will show them the
way to the venue where they will be able to order a
drink, mingle with the magicians before and after the
show, and have photographs taken.
Being the only magic theatre in Africa, Cape Town Magic Club supports the develop-
ment of up and coming magicians through encouraging and mentoring them, and
literally providing a platform for them to hone their skills in front of an audience. Its
affiliation with similar "Monday Night Magic" endeavours in London and New York,
opens up the stage to visiting international magicians, a reciprocal act which provides
further opportunities for South African magicians.

JULY 26-30th 2017
Congratulations to the team who won
a major competition in Regina, Canada.
The festival was the recipient of a $20,000
sponsorship to start up the new event from
the Regina Hotel Association and was in
competition with several other events for
the prize.
Brent Kloeble has high hopes for the new
ReginaCadabra Magic Festival, which makes
its debut July 26 in the city.
Kloeble, who is the chairman of the event,
hopes the festival gains enough momentum
to become an international attraction.
"It's an exciting event for Regina. There's
nothing really like that around here," Kloeble
said.
"We can make this a big tourism event,"
Kloeble said of the family-friendly festival,
which will feature 10 performers throughout
the week. "We know people will travel in to
come see it."
In 2019 he hopes to have the Canadian
Convention of Magicians associated with it
and use more home grown talent.
