Matthew Wright Magic Lecture_5 Jan 2013

Just attended a magic lecture by Matthew Wright organised by my magic club IBM. Matthew is one of the very best magicians in the UK. He is the only living magician to have been awarded The Magic Circle Magician of the Year, The International Magician of the Year and The IBM Magician of the Year. As well as this he was placed second in the FISM European Championships of Magic and has been awarded the RJP Act of the Year and the RJP Show of the Year over the past two years for his work in Spain.

Matthew's lecture was full of character. I like his persona and impressed with his skills. A busker for 6 years before turning pro. His magic has a good blend of audience participation and comedy. All pictures taken by my Olympus M4/3 OMD and Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 lens. Enjoy the pictures.

 

Matthew's magic involves lots of audience participation. Perhaps due to his busking background/roots, this performance style comes as no surprise.

Performing the oldest trick in magic...cups and balls. Matthew did it very well.

Managed to capture some moments with my magical friends as well.

It was another magical evening.
