With the eclectic colours and eccentric showmanship of the iconic College of Magic, the stage was set for an awesome, entertaining and unforgettable birthday party! With magicians, stilt-walkers, card-smiths, fire-breathers and the real Ginger Ninja, it was a day that painted vivid pictures in the memories of both children and adults.
The College of Magic, the brainchild of current director, David Gore, opened its doors on February 23, 1980 providing desperately needed performance arts training for aspirant entertainers from all sections of the community. Starting with a group of just 34 young entertainers, the College has over 26 years mushroomed into the only magical arts training organisation of its kind in the world.
Formally constituted as an Association Not For Gain in January 1985, the College's own Magical Arts Centre was officially opened by the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology in 1995.
This vibrant extra-mural performing arts training centre now serves as a home for more than 150 students, a meeting place for various cultural groups, a destination for school tours, a research and resource centre and as headquarters for our global distance learning initiative.
Soundworks Music Store provided the sound, lighting and smoke machine hire for this celebration with the fabulous GNT Productions manning our gear. Happy Birthday, College of Magic!
