Be spellbound by junior magic champs
THE ultimate battle of the teenage wands, the 2018 Western Cape Junior Magician Champs, will transform Bergvliet High into an epic magical battleground next Saturday.
Presented by the College of Magic, the city’s only magical arts organisation, the Championships will see nine of the province’s top teen wizards go wand-to-wand in the dexterous art of close-up magic and the stunning illusions of stage magic for the Junior Magician titles top honours.
