Last Friday we concluded our Book Celebrations for 2024 with our very first ‘HT Magic Show’. It was fabulous fun and after our live sessions with THE Magic Mike lots of kids were eager to show off their magic skills. Some of our up-and-coming magicians even watched Mike’s YouTube channel and copied his tricks. All in all, we had 15 registered magicians plus judges, security, a running order, music, props set up and entertainment between acts.

The magicians were spectacular and kept us all entertained for a good hour. The cards tricks were impressive, the magic wands and hats kept us all guessing, the teleporting cups, the disappearing coins, the pokers faces, and mystery guests all added to a wonderful experience.

Thank you to our brave magicians from Kinder to Year 6, Mrs McDevitt for assisting and our security guards for keeping the crowds in line.

 Last but not least, it was also really lovely to see the volunteers just nod and smile if a trick didn’t actually work – God Bless thoughtful kids.

That’s a wrap – Book Week 2024 is done, Amen.
