The Pentacle Club

Postby kevmundo » Sep 24th, '12, 23:26



Apologies for this rather self indugent post but I thought I'd tell you all about my very first evening with the Pentacle Club.......... Living in Huntingdon and not knowing any magi I decided I needed to join a magic club. I stumbled across The Pentacle Club who meet on alternate Mondays throughout most of the year, in Cambridge (nice and close to me). I was a bit worried at first as lots of clubs are quite cliquey and you can often find yourself standing alone and looking rather desperate. Not this club. A nicer bunch of chaps I couldn't have hoped for. They made me feel extremely welcome and completely at ease. There was a lecture by a childrens entertainer (Billy biscuit) who was excellent. Even though this style of entertainment isn't in keeping with my own I still took a lot from it. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and by the end of it, I found I'd entered a stage competition which is due to take place in October at a local Restaurant/pub. I have to deliver a 10 - 12 minute routine. This will technically be my first real performance in front of a live audience (who aren't related to me in some fashion) so I'm extremely nervous but determined to give it a good shot. I'll report back on how many hecklers I had to beat down!

Anyway, if you live in this area, they're well worth checking out.

Glad to hear it went well for you. Most of us have been similarly apprehensive over joining or performing for the first time. If you have any concerns about the forthcoming stage show, just ask your club colleagues, I’m sure they’ll all be wanting the evening to be a success and will help as much as they can.

I live in Hitchin. Just down the road. About 20 mins on the train.

Let me know if you ever want to meet. I perform at a restaurant every Sunday here and often have magicians pop in. We also film a lot of the magic DVD projects here.

Wait, was this last night?

Have I totally missed the club's restart after the summer break?

That'd be great! Let me know the name of the restaurant and I'll be sure to pop over. I may even take Mrs Kevmundo for a meal! :D

It was last night and they'll be meeting again two weeks on Monday. Hopefully I'll be there as I never work Mondays (lucky me). It just depends on what Mrs K is doing. If you're there I look forward to meeting you! :D

I'll definitely do that. Your website looks very professional BTW!! As I'm just starting out I'm nowhere near as advanced as your good self but hopefully things will improve once I get some confidence performing. I have a few sets coming up so hopefully that'll happen quickly.

I'll drop you an e-mail once I've sorted out some dates!
