Heya !

I am new to Birmingham. I heard that there is a British Society in Selly Hill. Anyone has any idea where is it? Is it a function room?

Is there any Magic Shop near University of Birmingham ?

Cheers !

Oroight ar kid ?

The British Magical Society (which is the oldest magical society in the UK being 6 months older than the Magic Circle!) meets in Selly Hill Road, Selly Oak and their website ( http://www.britishmagicalsociety.co.uk/ ) tells all! The used to be a magic and juggling shop over the road from Sainsbury's on the Bristol, Road at Selly Oak but I gather the owner has stopped doing that now for personal reasons. Keith Bennet at KB Magic ( http://www.kbmagic.co.uk/ ) has a shop and after that I guess the nearest bricks and mortar magic shop is House of Magic UK - see http://www.houseofmagicuk.com/Customer_About.asp

Hey Mandrake ! Thanks for the fast reply..

I went to the Selly Hill to find the British Magical Society but could not find No. 8 house. Is that a function room ? I saw a function room there but not sure whether it is No 8.

I've never been to their current HQ - it used to be in Birmingham City Centre yonks ago and was easy to find! I'd suggest you e-mail one of the officers of the Society and ask them for directions - the Ex Servicemen's Club must be fairly prominent if it's anything like the other clubs of similar purpose.

Yeh I went to that juggling shop in selly oak back in March as it still has the sign for magic shop. I was so dissapointed. If id have known there was a magic society I might have stayed in Brum!!

Magic UK directions from city centre..

Take the 258 bus from Colmore Row which passes the end of Brennand Rd. Get off at the Perry Hill One Stop.
