In the next few posts, we’re going to introduce you to some of the magicians appearing at the South Tyneside International Magic Festival (S.T.I.M.F) Convention 2015 - starting with comedy magicians Michael Finney and The Great Nardini.
Most of you will know Michael from his years on the circuit and may even have seen him at the STIMF Convention a decade ago. We’re delighted the 2009 Magic Comedy Act of the Year is crossing the Atlantic again in 2015 and look forward to sharing his outstanding talent and humour. The Great Nardini is a comedy magic act by Paul and Mhairi Nardini from Scotland. Over the years the duo has picked up many awards, including British Magical champion and World Champion of Comedy Magic. They have also performed around the world, including more than 50 shows at the legendary Magic Castle in Hollywood. You can find out more about both acts and buy tickets for the convention at www.southtynesidemagic.com |

Today we are shining the spotlight on three more acts who’ll be appearing at the STIMF Convention – can you guess who they are? If not, then you need to brush up on your mind reading skills and these are the perfect people to help you do it…
Luke Jermay has awe inspiring, intuitive abilities, which have gained him high profile fans such as Derren Brown, Dynamo and Uri Gellar, while his Sixth Sense show has earned 5 star reviews from Edinburgh to London’s West End. The equally talented Satori, named Mentalist of the Year in his native Germany, has worked for more than 15 years to perfect his abilities in memory, concentration and body training and is known to millions across Europe thanks to his live shows and multiple TV appearances. He is one of a few professionals who perform a mental act of this calibre. Atlas and Looch are two of the most unique mind readers in the world, with an uncanny ability to transmit and receive thoughts with unnerving accuracy - see for yourself, when all three acts appear at the S.T.I.M.F. convention in March 2015. For a full line-up visit www.southtynesidemagic.com and stayed tuned for more introductions… |

If you’re struggling to amuse magic fans of all ages, then family entertainers Dave Andrews and Russ Brown may be able to lend a hand.
You may recognise Russ as winner of CBBC show, The Slammer, thanks to his unique combination of crazy gags, music and lots of audience participation. Dave also has many years of experience in performing colourful, fun and engaging magic shows for children and regularly appears at the Magic Circle in London. Both will be appearing at the 2015 S.T.I.M.F. Convention |

For the fourth part in our Meet the Magicians series, we’re putting down the smoke and mirrors to introduce you to illusionists High Jinx and Diamond and Jade, who’ll both be appearing at the S.T.I.M.F. Convention in March.
Award-winners High Jinx, made up of newlyweds Michael and Tamsyn Jordan, use a mix of magic, illusion, escapology and circus skills to amaze, puzzle and sometime even scare their audience. In 2011 the duo were placed 2nd in the European FISM championships in Blackpool and represented the UK in the FISM world championships in July 2012. They are also former winners of the coveted International Brotherhood of Magicians British Ring Shield. Diamond & Jade are based in Liverpool, but travel worldwide, and have been working since 1989. The act was formed by Michael Diamond, who has been performing magic from childhood, and has devised many of his own effects and illusions, along with authoring two books on magic. For your chance to see both acts visit www.southtynesidemagic.com |

Today we’re shuffling on to the next part of our Meet the Magicians series and pulling out two aces from the S.T.I.M.F. Convention deck...
Leading card technician Gordon Bruce rarely gives lectures or appearances for other magicians but we’re pleased to say he’s making an exception for us. If that wasn’t enough, we’ve also got John Carey, who’ll be leading a special lecture on to handle card effects without diluting their impact.

Last but by no means least in our Meet the Magicians series, please say a huge hello to Kieron Lefever, a true eccentric with a flair for the theatrical, incredible, awe-inspiring and often shocking magic and no regard for the status quo.
He is the 12th name to be announced for the S.T.I.M.F. Convention in March 2015 – but I’m sure there was one more… Oh yes, (unlucky) number 13, a man who needs no introduction – but I’ll give him one anyway – Mr John Archer. John is a member of the inner Magic Circle with gold star and a winner of the Magic Circle Stage Magician of the Year. This comedian, writer and all round nice guy (can you tell he checked this before I posted) has been assisting with the organisation of the year’s event and will be there in fine form throughout the weekend. For more details and a full line-up see www.southtynesidemagic.com |
