NEWS 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.

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. www.reginacadabra.com 8 VANISH Magazine www.VanishMagazine.com
