HOW NEWCASTLE MAGIC CIRCLE STARTED

The Newcastle Magic Circle is one of the oldest and most successful magic societies in the UK. Founded on February 23rd 1933, it took its original name from the Saville Restaurant on Saville Row in Newcastle, The Saville Magic Club.

The restaurant was run by the club founder and ex-professional magician Burt Fry, who had placed a notice in the local Evening Chronicle for magicians to contact him. And so, the ‘circle’ was born.
