Next year will represent the 50th Anniversary of this special competition. Held every two years at The Magic Circle Headquarters, London the competition is open to all magicians aged between 14 and 18 on 1st January 2011 who can present a stage act suitable for a family audience, of between eight and twelve minutes.

Every two years, competing acts feature manipulation, illusion, comedy, theatre, mind reading and more in their performances; the list of previous winners is starting to read like a who’s who of British Magic. Next year’s winner will earn the title “Young Magician of the Year 2011″ and enjoy fully paid membership of The Magic Circle at age 18 for 4 years. The heats will take place on 8 May 2011 and the final on 31 July 2011.

This is a very highly regarded competition for young magicians and has helped launch many a professional career with past winners including Dominic Wood and our very own Ben Hart (pictured).
